Caught In His Embrace A Second Chance Romance novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429

Al preparations for the bone marrow transplant were completed.

The surgery was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

That night, Conner woke up feeling much better. The medication had mostly worn off.

The next morning, Sienna and Conner went to see Lucas for a final consultation.

Since everything had already been discussed, this was more of a formality. Finally, they signed the consent forms.

Conner followed Sienna as they left the doctor's office. "I haven't seen Joyce for days. I miss her."

As the door opened, Joyce's laughter rang out. "Hehe... That tickles, Mr. Flynn."

Josiah was here.

Sienna was stunned. She hadn't expected him to be out of bed.

Hearing movement, Josiah looked up and nodded. "I came to see Joyce."

Josiah had come over the moment he was able to move. He hadn't even freshened up, and his face was rough with stubble.

Playfully, he rubbed it against Joyce's delicate face, making her giggle.

Sienna smiled and asked, "Feeling better? Is it okay to move around like this?"

"I'm fine," Josiah answered. "I barely feel anything now."

"Mr. Flynn, are you sick?" Joyce seemed to understand and anxiously tugged on his sleeve.

Josiah chuckled and tapped her tiny nose. "The moment I see you, I feel all better."

"Really?" Joyce asked.

"Yes," Josiah assured her.

"Joyce," Sienna reached out to her daughter. "Time to eat something." She hesitated, then turned to Josiah, "Have you e a t e n ? Join us."

A subtle wave of emotion passed over Josiah. "Sure."

"Yay! Mr. Flynn, carry me!" Joyce immediately stretched her arms toward Josiah.

"Hmph," Sienna pretended to be upset. "You just like Mr. Flynn now, huh? Fine, let him carry you then." She glanced at Conner. "Let's go get breakfast."

Breakfast was sumptuous. Tara even prepared soup and brought it over from Sunshine Neighborhood. A bone marrow transplant was a major procedure, so replenishing nutrients was essential.

Sienna served the soup to Joyce and Conner. Finally, she placed a bowl in front of Josiah.

Josiah hesitated. 'Soup for me too?' As an uninvited guest, he doubted Tara had made extra for him. He shook his head and said, "Give it to Joyce instead."

Sienna chuckled. "Don't worry, she's not missing out. This is mine.

You need it more than I do. Just drink it."

'She gave hers to me.' Josiah stared at Sienna with calm restraint, his voice slightly hoarse. "Okay."

He lowered his head, and the steam rising from the soup clouded his vision. He knew that Sienna was grateful to him, but her thoughtfulness still made his heart race, stirring indescribable e m o t i o n s in his c h e s t .

The surgery went ahead as scheduled. Josiah came early, and Joyce was already awake. Her eyes blinked wide as she threw herself into his arms. "Mr. Flynn, you're here!"

"Of course." Josiah held the little girl. "Today is very important for you."

"Mr. Flynn..." Joyce lay on his shoulder, her voice muffled.

"Yes?" Josiah stroked her hair, already sensing what was on her mind. Lowering his voice, he reassured her, "Don't be afraid, Joyce.

Follow the nurse, close your eyes, and take a little nap. When you wake up, it'll be all over."
