“Good luck. Let’s see if you can marry Camryn by this year.”
Callum said confidently, “I’ll definitely make you a mother–in–law by this year.”
“All right, go back to work. I’m going to your uncle’s place.”
Callum hummed and waited for his mother to hang up.
After Rosella finished talking to her son, she got up and left.
The three sisters–in–law were very close and were like actual sisters. When they heard that Zack and Serena were back, Rosella and her other sister–in–law, Sasha, went over to Tania’s place.
The house was bustling with liveliness,
Of course, the most popular person was the sweet and dashing Sonny.
Rowan wanted to take Sonny out to fly a kite, saying that it was windy today. The best place to fly a kite was on the lawn.
Zack asked him, “Have you finished your homework?”
Rowan said smugly, “I finished them last night. I wouldn’t dare see you if I didn’t finish my homework.”
“You finished it all in one night? Looks like you don’t have enough homework.”
Rowan would only start his junior year in September and was still currently a sophomore. In high school, only sophomores had it a little easier.
“I had plenty of homework. My teachers assigned homework for every subject. Zack, you don’t know that I worked till midnight last night to finish all of them. I finished everything early because I wanted to play. with my brother during these three days of holiday.”
Whenever there was a holiday in the past, he spent it doing his homework. If he did not finish them, his older brothers would not let him play.
Thus, Rowan became smart. Every time he had a holiday, he would finish his homework on the night. before the holiday itself. It did not matter how late he had to stay up. That way, he would be able to play with his brothers.
“I’ll send you several sets of test questions later. Do more practice and strive to get into a good. university. Don’t embarrass us.”
Rowan pulled a face upon hearing that. He hugged Sonny and said to Serena. “Serena, reign in Zack a little. I finally have a three–day holiday and finished my homework, but he wants to give me more test questions. Can’t I rest and have a good time with my brothers?”
Rowan clung to Serena from the first time he saw her.
Back then, when he saw his high and mighty eldest brother helping Serena carry her bags, he knew that Zack would fall into her hands sooner or later. Thus, he clung to Serena tightly.
Serena said to Zack, “Rowan finished all his homework. Let him relax for the holidays. You at least have to let him play for a day. Studies are important, but he needs to have a good school–life balance. You can’t keep forcing him to study. It’ll be counterproductive sometimes.”
Rowan echoed, “That’s right, that’s right. Everyone is forcing me to study and putting pressure on me. All eight of my older brothers were at the top of their classes. God knows how much pressure I’m under.”
“I’m still sending the test questions to you. You don’t need to revise today and do the questions, but you’d better be a good boy and finish them in the next two days. Seren, you have a lot of test questions in your store, right? Take a few sets for him to do.”
Rowan looked at Serena as if pleading for help.
He forgot that his sister–in–law owned a bookstore, so she had test questions for days. Even if there were test questions that were not available in the bookstore, Serena would probably be able to find a way him to do them.
Serena laughed. “There are many indeed, but I’m on vacation now and the store isn’t open. Next time. then. I’ll bring Rowan a few sets for the next holidays, during summer vacation. When he starts senior year, he can take any set of test questions from my store.”
Rowan was speechless. “Thank you in advance… Serena.”
Fortunately, Serena did not say that she would send him the test questions now.
However, he had eight older brothers. If all eight of them sent him a few sets, they would pile up into a mountain on his desk.
Rowan was scared by the thought of his study desk being filled with test questions.
“I’ll just play for one day.” Rowan said conscientiously and did not dare ask for more holidays.
His mom seemed ignorant of this and did not care about his cousins pressuring him with sets of test. questions.
Rowan was the youngest among the cousins, and the youngest was the most favored. With eight excellent brothers watching over him, his mom was happy to do nothing.
“Sonny, come on, I’ll take you out to fly a kite.”
Rowan, who managed to ask for a day off, took Sonny out to go wild and play.
Duncan was worried about Sonny and followed them.
He wanted to continue to win Sonny over and make Sonny fonder of him. That way, he would soon be able to replace Hank and become Sonny’s dad.
“Rose, I heard Camryn’s aunts came to see you. What was it about?” Old Mrs. York asked her second daughter–in–law.
Rosella answered, “Those two have no sense of propriety. They came to tell me that Camryn is blind and isn’t good enough for Callum, wanting me to break them up. I wonder if they’re Camryn’s aunts at all.”
Old Mrs. York asked further, “How did you respond to them?”
“I told them that we don’t mind that Camryn can’t see. Even if she marries into our family, we don’t need her to do anything as long as she knows how to spend money. Her aunts were pissed off.”
Old Mrs. York was pleased with her daughter–in–law’s reply.
She said, “Camryn isn’t as weak as she appears. Her flaw is that she hasn’t recovered her eyesight, but her eyes can be treated. Callum is waiting for the genius doctor’s apprentice–Dr. Carden–to return to Annenburg, and then he’ll ask her to treat Camryn’s eyes.”
Mrs. York asked with concern, “Dr. Carden can cure Camryn’s eyes, right? I heard Camryn’s aunts say that she has been blind for a decade and has seen numerous eye specialists but nothing worked.”
It would be best if Camryn could regain her sight.
If she were blind her whole life, Mrs. York would still accept it. As long as Callum liked her and did not mind, Mrs. York would have nothing to say as a mother–in–law,
After all, it was not Mrs. York who would be getting a wife, but her son.
Everything would be up to her son’s wishes.
“Dr. Carden is the miracle doctor’s only successor. It is said that she’s an expert in medicine and poison. Camryn lost her sight due to drugs. If even Dr. Carden is helpless…”
Old Mrs. York did not go on. Everyone present understood what she meant.
Serena said, “Nana, I’ve asked Carnryn about it. She said she can see some light now but not clearly. She said a doctor used to treat her eyes and that it was effective, but unfortunately, that doctor later died of illness. Her treatment stopped after that.”
Mrs. York was slightly relieved. She asked, “In that case, there’s a chance for her eyes to be cured. When will Dr. Carden return to Annenburg?”
Zack answered instead, “Dr. Carden and the fourth son of the Johnsons are in love, and she’s pregnant. now. Even if she returns to Annenburg, she won’t travel far to treat patients so soon. We might only be able to ask her to come and treat Ms. Camryn’s eyes after she’s done with giving birth, the baby’s sip and see shower, and her wedding to Mr. Johnson.
“We’ll probably have to wait a few months.”
Zack was most informed about Dr. Carden.
This was because he had the most dealings with the Johnsons.
“Camryn has waited for a decade, so a few more months will be nothing. We won’t give up as long as there’s a little hope. Even if there’s no hope, I won’t despise her,” Mrs. York expressed.
Tania said, “That child is pitiful. God won’t forsake her
Serena did not come from a prominent background but was healthy.
Plus, her daughter–in–law made progress. Tania used to be a little dissatisfied with her, but she did not mind anymore when Camryn was used as a comparison.
Besides, Tania and Serena developed a good relationship after a long time together.
Grandma May said, “God is a powerful being. You young people should go out and play. You don’t need to accompany us old people.”
She shooed her grandsons out to have fun.
