Hearing her call him that, Jonathan's heart melted instantly.
He walked over with a broad smile, his voice exaggeratedly high-pitched. "Rena, you're getting discharged
today! Are you excited?"
"Yap!" The Rena had already fully recovered and had been itching to leave the hospital for a while.
"Remember to missafter you leave."
Serena obediently nodded. "I'll cback with Mom to visit you."
Jonathan waved his hand. "If you miss me, just ask your mom to tell me, and I'll csee you."
He thought a hospital was no place for a child if they could avoid it.
After saying that, Jonathan looked at Paisley, who was wearing a hat, and his face instantly turned cold. "How are
you?"

"Huh?" Paisley instinctively played dumb.
"Don't act clueless! You think you can still hide it from me? What's going on with you?" Jonathan pointed at her
head.
No one had planned to mention her head injury, but in the end, they couldn't keep it from Maria. Paisley thought
if Jonathan knew, then it was definitely Maria who told him.
Paisley turned to look at Maria, but Maria was straightforward about it. "Why are you looking at me? | was just
worried and wanted to ask."
Maria knew Paisley was skilled in medicine, but many doctors were terrible at treating themselves. Especially
when it cto head injuries—no matter how capable she was, Maria still couldn't feel at ease.
Jonathan also looked disapproving. "No matter how good you are, a head injury isn't something to be treated at
ssmall clinic. What if the doctor there wasn't skilled enough and messed up the stitches?"
Paisley showed a playful side. She thought, 'It really feels nice to be cared for."
"It's really nothing. Besides, |
checked the wound myself-the
doctor's stitching skills were actually pretty good." But no matter what Paisley said, Jonathan insisted on
checking her wound. Only after confirming it was just a superficial injury did he finally let her go.
"You're such a handful," Jonathan scolded, his expression stern-just like any parent who cared deeply but didn't
want to be too indulgent.
Paisley hadn't known Jonathan for very long.
That year, a pandemic broke out, and as the hospital director, Jonathan personally led a team to provide aid in
poor villages. By chance, Paisley was there as well.
They went from not getting along to fighting side by side, then to having a bond like that of an elder and a
younger generation.
Paisley believed that relationships weren't measured by how long people had known each other.
She indeed had families. She had Serena, Maria, Jonathan, Emery, and even those troublemaking disciples who
constantly gave her headaches.

With so many people who loved her, she thought she shouldn't waste her energy grieving over those who didn't.
She used to desperately prove that she was loved, even at the cost of enduring humiliation and letting others
hurt her. Looking backnow, felt it was so foolish.

Serena's discharge process was quick, and there wasn't much to pack. Maria had already taken things hbit
by bit earlier.
The three of them left the hospital light and unburdened, with Elara chattering away.
By the tDominick arrived at the hospital, the ward had already been occupied by someone else.
"Weren't they supposed to be discharged tomorrow? Why is no one here now?" Julian coldly questioned the men
assigned to keep watch at the hospital.
Dominick's face was dark, his lips pressed into a thin line.
"That's the information | received. | didn't expect Ms. Sutton to leave with the child ahead of schedule." And they
hadn't taken anything with them looked just like their usual morning stroll around the hospital. Even the
attending doctor had done the rounds as usual earlier.
Dominick let out a bitter chuckle. He realized he was completely powerless against Paisley now.
