Chapter 681:

The urgency of discussing Joy’s new medication with her mother was clear.

Melba responded with a helpless shrug.

“She was here until just a few minutes ago. She had to take a call and step out.”

“I see,” Eric muttered, his brow furrowing slightly. After a brief pause, he decided.

“I’ll leave the details with you then. Please make sure she gets the message.”

“Of course.” Melba agreed, ready to take notes.

Eric proceeded to relay the necessary information about the medication, ensuring Melba understood everything clearly.

Melba couldn’t contain her excitement upon hearing the news and gave her thigh a joyful slap.

“This is wonderful! Joy’s discomfort will be greatly eased!”

Eric cautioned her to keep things procedural.

“We’ll make sure everything goes through the right medical protocols. I’ve already discussed this with Dr. Torres. Let Joy’s mom know the medication has been vetted for safety.”

“This is great,” Melba responded, nodding vigorously.

“Joy is truly fortunate!”

With Hadley absent, Melba felt compelled to express gratitude on her behalf.

“I’ll extend thanks on behalf of her mother! She’d be overwhelmed by your generosity if she were here.”

Turning to Joy, she said,

“Say thank you to him, Joy!”

Joy, embracing Eric warmly, planted a grateful kiss on his cheek.

“Thank you. I like you the most.”

Unbeknownst to them, Hadley was just outside the doorway, observing the tender scene. Tears welled up in her eyes as she fought to keep them from falling.

Quietly, she murmured to herself,

“Thank you, Eric… thank you so much…” Her voice laden with emotion as she gratefully acknowledged his efforts.

Not long after Eric departed, the promised medication was delivered.

That same evening, Joy took it without any trouble.

While the medication worked effectively, it had an unexpected side effect: Joy was unusually lively.

By eight-thirty, when she would typically be asleep, Joy was wide awake, showing no signs of tiredness.

“Joy,” Hadley said, tapping gently on the bed. “Come and sleep next to Mommy.”

“Okay!” Joy climbed into bed, but her eyes remained bright, and she burst into giggles.

“Mommy, hehe…”

“Still giggling?” Hadley was perplexed and slightly amused. “It’s bedtime now!”

“Haha…”

Joy’s laughter continued, and neither Hadley nor Melba could persuade her to calm down and sleep.

Just then, Melba’s phone broke the playful chaos with its ringtone; it was Eric on the line.

“Mr. Flynn,” Melba answered, noting the time.
