When the first round of an excited chatter ended, Jeff exclaimed: "We should celebrate!"
Sarah put her arms around Aiden protectively. "Not yet. He is still weak, and we need to decide who will know that he is awake.", Sarah explained.
Sophia agreed with this right away. "When they find out that he is awake, Voronins will send another spy to watch him and Lebedevs will not be happy that their plan didn't work as expected. In public, Sarah holds her arm like it's not fixed and we should keep Aiden low key… for now."
"Mom and dad would want to know that you are awake.", Jeff told Aiden hoping that he can get an ally in this women-rejecting atmosphere when he saw JoAnna nod in agreement to Sophia's words.
"We will come up with a reason to invite them here.", Sarah said. "And we can celebrate on the weekend. By then, he should be able to eat normally."
