The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 229

Milton and Dorothy reluctantly said, "Study well, Willow."

"Don't worry!" Willow patted her chest confidently. "I need to arm my brain with knowledge to be a smart kid!"

Milton and Dorothy couldn't help but chuckle.

…

I watched Willow run down the stairs with her backpack and asked, "What would you like for breakfast today?"

Willow thought seriously for a while before finally saying, "How about some chicken noodle soup?"

"Okay." The temperature of the soup was just right. I poured a small bowl for her.

Willow immediately dug in and finished it quickly. Then, she handed the bowl back to me. "Another bowl!"

Smiling, I said, "Alright."

Willow had a small appetite before. Since starting her exercises, her meals had gradually increased, and her energy levels had improved as well.

I was happy with the progress.

After she finished eating, Zane and I had our meal as well. We both stood up to take her to kindergarten.

…

When we arrived at the kindergarten, we saw Penelope standing inside, peering eagerly through the gate toward us.

Now that Suzy was taking care of her, she looked clean and energetic. Her happiness was genuine this time, unlike the forced cheerfulness from the other day.

When Willow spotted Penelope, she immediately waved goodbye to us. "Daddy, Mommy, you can go to work now."

She then ran toward Penelope.

Penelope took Willow's hand and spoke seriously to her. Meanwhile, Willow's eyes sparkled like lightbulbs as she nodded at Penelope's words.

I watched them from a distance, feeling content. "Willow is improving day by day, and Penelope's situation is also getting better. This is great."
