“And the adoption process had already been going on for quite a while. Usually, it took about 30 working days, but if everything went
smoothly, it could be done in less than 30 days!”
Stephanie nodded hard, her eyes a little wet.
Yeah, everything was going smoothly.
But after a while, Belinda got better, and then, after finishing the adoption process, they became a real family.
All the way to the general ward, Stephanie and the others saw Jeremiah and Lennon standing there.
Just now, the two of them didn’t know what they were talking about, and when they saw them, they stopped.
“Let’s take a look at Belinda,” Lennon said.
Jeremiah nodded hard.
Stephanie didn’t think much about it, Belinda’s surgery went well, and she was in a pretty good mood.
Patrick on the side also took off his mask and nodded to the two of
them, especially to Lennon. He said, “The surgery went well. Normally, you can be discharged in 5 to 10 days.”
Everyone there breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Belinda’s illness could be fixed with a surgery, everyone there was really worried about her.

“It’s something worth celebrating.” Jeremiah smiled and said, “Let’s have a meal together!”
Stephanie was helpless and said, “Let’s wait until Belinda gets out of the hospital to eat.”
Patrick on the side nodded too.
But McKayla just looked at Lennon with a complicated expression.
She always felt like something happened after she ran to the bathroom that day. She remembered that before, Stephanie had never accepted Lennon.
But…
McKayla looked at Stephanie. If Stephanie liked him, that was fine
too.
It was still more reliable than Maxwell.
The group was really happy, and the last bit of sunset shone into the hospital room, making it all warm and cozy.
On the other side, Maxwell quietly waited downstairs until the others came down to eat. They looked pretty happy, so Maxwell knew Belinda’s surgery had been a success.
He opened the car door and got out, asked about the ward, went upstairs, and stood at the door looking in.
Then he saw Stephanie and Lennon sitting by the hospital bed. She was wiping Belinda’s hands, and Lennon was holding a basin for her.
“After Belinda got out of the hospital, she probably needed a more professional nanny, caregiver, nurse, and so on. My family knew a reliable caregiver we’ve known for years, or you could ask Patrick and

McKayla to recommend someone too. The people they recommended should be good as well,” Lennon said.
Stephanie didn’t say no. While wiping Belinda’s hands, she replied, “Yeah, I’ll meet them then and see how it goes.”
The two of them talked about everyday stuff and seemed to get along easily.
It was just like a normal couple chatting.
Maxwell quietly watched all this. In the end, he lowered his eyes a little and looked away.
He didn’t go in to bother them, but turned around and left.
When Maxwell left, Stephanie’s hand wiping Belinda’s arm paused a bit. She glanced at the glass not far away, then looked back.
