Lacey felt super troubled: "Makayla, the doc said you need at least two weeks of bed rest. But it's not even a week since your surgery. If I take you out, mister will blame me."
Makayla slightly lifted her head, "Who's mister?"
Lacey: "He is..." paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you call him?"
Makayla thought for a moment, then pointed to the window: "I want to go out."
Not daring to make the decision on her own, Lacey called Sarah.
Soon after, Sarah rushed over.
"Makayla, you want to go out?" Sarah gently asked, "I can take you, but you have to be in a wheelchair. I'm worried you might feel dizzy walking."
Makayla didn't mind using the wheelchair, she just wanted fresh air.
After agreeing, Lacey brought out an old wheelchair Elijah had used before.
"Lacey, let me push her." Sarah said, then pushed Makayla to the front yard.
To secure her position by Elijah's side, Sarah first needed to establish a good relationship with Makayla.
Like now, as she pushed Makayla out, Makayla's resistance towards her wasn't as strong as before.
This was definitely progress.
With a bit of progress every day, Sarah believed that in the near future, there would be a significant change in her relationship with Makayla.
The temperature today was still over 30 degrees, but the sun wasn't too strong.
"Makayla, does your head still hurt? If it does, I can give you painkillers." Sarah softly inquired.
According to Sarah's judgment, Makayla's intelligence level was about that of a 10-year-old child.
So, she just needed to treat her like a 10-year-old.
Makayla: "No need."
She wouldn't accept any medicine from Sarah unless it was given by Elijah.
Sarah smiled and said: "Makayla, it's great that you can say that! Just like Elijah, I hope you recover soon."
Makayla didn't respond.
After breathing in some fresh air outside, she suddenly asked: "Did you really perform the surgery on me?"
If Sarah did the surgery, why didn't she see her before she went unconscious?
