Sheryl was upset at that. "How's Tommy or Baby lacking?"
"No—they're just too young to be talking about marriage," Zachary quickly explained.
He seemed to remember Irene mentioning that Isaac wanted a daughter, but Isaac probably had no hopes for that in this life.
It was time for Zachary to show off his daughter when Isaac came back.
Sheryl could read that smugness from his face. "Sons are a blessing for parents too."
"Of course." Zachary grinned. "He's just a little too blessed."
Sheryl could not say anything to that.

Irene stayed with Isaac at the hospital ward.
It was huge enough for them, and there were no unconcerned people around.
The day before they returned to Franconia, she received a call from Erin, who was pleased to hear that Isaac made a full recovery after asking about it.
Then, Erin asked when they could return.
Irene said, "We've booked a flight for tomorrow…"
Erin became silent for a long while at that and appeared hesitant to speak.
"What is it? You can tell me," Irene told her.
"I've decided to marry James here. Can you come over here again?" Erin asked.
Irene looked up at Isaac, whose eyes were still recovering.
They definitely had to attend Erin and James's wedding, but…
"When is it?"
"Next Saturday," Erin replied.
Irene checked the date.
It was just Wednesday, and there were still ten days until next Saturday.
"We'll definitely be there," Irene promised—it was still early, and they could go back to Franconia to check on the children.
"Okay."
They spoke a little more before Irene walked up to Isaac and massaged his eyes. "Call from Erin."
