“I believe you,” Delilah smiled kindly up at him. “Um, if you all wouldn’t mind, I’d like to talk alone with Joan for a bit.”

Everyone nodded, slowly filing out of the ward. Joan padded over to the bed and ended up falling to her knees by Delilah’s bedside, her eyes reddening with tears.

I’ve never had a proper chance to chat with you, and now that I finally do, it’s under these circumstances,” Delilah swallowed the lump in her throat, sounding a little choked up as she continued, “I’ve always been afraid of viewing you as my own daughter, but meeting you and Lucius is the best thing that has ever happened to me. So, I sincerely ask you to please take good care of Lucius. Who knows if I will really survive this surgery…”

“No! The operation will be a success and you will get better, Ms. Young!” Joan cried out, hiccupping. “I’ve checked before, and all the surgeons are all the best money can get.”

“I know, I know. Dustin is a reliable person when it comes to these sort of life-or-death situations. But just in case, I want to tell you something: Larry is a good man, and now that you’re married to each other, you should treasure the time you have with each other. I know Dustin and that Caiden boy both like you, but you have to protect your family. Please don’t go down the wrong path…” Delilah’s eyes softened.
