The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 742

In the Littleton household, a rare moment of stillness had enveloped the family room, where they all gathered around Tyler, who sat in his wheelchair. The tension hung thick in the air, so palpable that even young Amelia's eyes shimmered with a mixture of hope and nerves.

Only Vivienne and Percival, standing off to the side, seemed to maintain their composure.

"Tyler," Vivienne encouraged with a calm voice, "try to stand up by leaning on the wheelchair."

Tyler's breath hitched. He looked into Vivienne's eyes, filled with a quiet confidence that seemed to say she knew the outcome before it even happened. Her slight smile brought a sense of calm over Tyler, and he clenched his fists, taking a deep breath.

Kaitlyn stood with her back straight, her words held back, but her tightly clasped hands behind her betrayed her anxiety. Her in-laws were on the brink of tears, their bodies shaking with emotion. Amelia stepped forward and leaned against Tyler. "Daddy, you can do it."
