Sensing the shift in mood, Ivan quietly set aside his blocks and moved to sit beside Zachary without a word.
Zachary ruffled his hair. “Don’t worry, Mom, it’s nothing serious. But guess whose prescription is this?”
“Whose prescription?” Karen asked, caught off guard. Brendan must have joined them at spoint, because
now he was sitting beside her too.
“It can’t be Lessie, could it?”
“Well, actually, we have Lessie to thank for this.” Zachary decided not to keep them in suspense any longer and
recounted everything that had happened that afternoon.
“So you're saying Lessie not only got Dr. Dawson to treat you, but also convinced him to take you on as his
apprentice?” Brendan's jaw dropped in disbelief.
“Xander... Is this the sXander your specialist mentioned when you went to the hospital before?”
“That's him.” Zachary'’s lips curled into a smile as he nodded, giving them a clear and simple answer.
“We spent a fortune just trying to get an appointment...”
“Appointment? We couldn’t even track him down,” Brendan added.
“Exactly. Are you serious? How did Lessie manage that? Forget about being his apprentice, I'd be grateful if he'd
just agree to see you at all. Truly, it's a blessing. Zachary, what did Dr. Dawson say? Is your health okay?”
“He just said I'll need a few more follow-ups, but I'd have to go over there on weekends anyway. Plus, | get to

said, his tone grave.
“I will.”
“If it gets to be too much, promise you'll tell me,” Karen said softly. “I know how much this means to you, and I'm
happy you can follow your dream. But if it ever becomes too much, taking another year off is fine by me. After all
we've been through, | know now-what matters most is that our family is healthy and together.

Nothing else comes close.”
Zachary nodded, and though Brendan stayed silent, he reached over and gently patted Karen's back.
One of the Mortons’ best qualities was that when their children had their own ideas, they didn’t try to stand in
the way. They offered honest advice and clear boundaries, but ultimately let their kids weigh their own choices.
That's why the Morton children always acted with such thoughtfulness and independence.
But now, they were starting to realize that when it cto raising Ileana, they'd gotten it wrong. Their endless
indulgence and favoritism had only...
“By the way, Zachary, you can’t tell anyone that Lessie knows Dr. Dawson, or that you're his apprentice now. We
don’t want to cause Lessie any trouble, and you haven't made your nyet-talking about it would only make
things harder for both you and Dr. Dawson.”
“I understand.”
“Ever since Lessie joined our family, not only have we failed to give her a better life, we're the ones who ended
up better off because of her. | can’t even explain how, but
the whole mood in this house has lifted.”
Karen's eyes were full of emotion as she spoke about Alessia.
