The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 350

Howard's mood instantly brightened when the topic came up. "They've been discharged from the hospital. It's thanks to the wages you sent me. I really don't know what I would have done otherwise."

Zane said slowly, "You earned that money with your ability. Now, besides picking up Willow every evening, I've found you a part-time job.

"It's to pick up and drop off Suzy and her daughter. Do you have time for that?"

Howard replied immediately, "No problem!"

"As for the salary, I was thinking of adding 20 thousand dollars to your current pay." Zane wasn't sure if Howard would be happy with the pay. "If you have any issues with it, feel free to bring them up."

Howard quickly shook his head. "No! I'm very satisfied with this pay."

Zane asked, "So it's settled?"

Howard nodded. "Don't worry. I'll keep them protected."

…

Zane relayed the outcome of their discussion to us in the living room.

Suzy finally let out a sigh of relief. "Now, when Liam comes to bother me, I'll have something to fight back with."

Zane added, "You and Penelope can come to my house after school. Once the training's done, let Penelope play with Willow for a while, then have Howard take you both back home."

The worry in Suzy's eyes vanished, and she smiled. "This is a perfect opportunity to have Penelope join in on the exercise."

After running a few times with Willow, she felt much better physically.

"No problem." Zane figured Willow would be happier with someone there to keep her company.
