Chapter 466 Moving Up the Agenda


    Jean walked straight down the hallway and returned to her bedroom.


    She began to reconsider a question she had set aside for a long time.


    Samuel’s asthma.


    She’d thought about trying to persuade him to get it treated, or even just helping him deal with it herself<b>… </b>


    But too many things had happened recently, and the issue had been pushed to the back burner.


    Samuel had narrowly escaped danger this time, but who knew when the next crisis might strike?


    This illness was like a ticking time bomb–a constant threat.


    The only way to feel at ease was to find a way topletely eliminate it.


    Jean let out a quiet, self–deprecatingugh at the thought.


    She was probably the one who needed to worry most about herself…


    Yet somehow, she’d ended up worrying about her brother’s future.


    Still, the timeline had changed so much already—chances were, the future of these people had changed too.


    Whether they couldpletely avoid misfortune was unclear, but at least-


    Right now, in this moment, everyone was alive and well.


    She was willing to help them only because she genuinely believed that Sienna and her brothers were sincere and kind toward her…


    Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered.


    Thinking of Samuel’s asthma again, Jean’s gaze grew serious.


    No matter what, once Samuel was in better shape, she needed to sit down and talk with him.


    Treating his asthma had to be moved up the agenda.


    Because of Samuel’s sudden asthma attack, the reunion dinner Sienna had nned had to be postponed.


    Winston, surprisingly, stayed two nights at the Ginger family’s home.


    During those two nights, Sienna and Dominic often kept himpany.


    They talked, walked around the garden, shared meals…


    The boy’s mood seemed stable enough–he didn’t show any clear signs of rejection.


    After two days, Winston chose to go back.


    Living at the Ginger family’s house just wasn’t convenient for school. <ol start="9"><li>18 Fri, 13 <b>Jun </b></li></ol>


    Chapter 466 Moving Up the Agenda


    Winston didn’t want to disrupt the rhythm of his daily life, and staying near campus made <b>things </b>caster


    Even though he didn’t n to move in permanently, Jean could still tell his attitude <b>had </b>subtly <b>shifted</b>,


    Around his family, <b>he </b>seemed to have shed that cold armor and pride, starting to act like <b>a </b><b>normal </b><b>teenager</b>, interacting with his loved ones.


    That was enough.


    Even if Winston hadn’t chosen toe home for good, this change in him was enough.


    After seeing him off, Jean went to visit Samuel as usual.


    He’d slept a lot the past couple of days, barely awake for long stretches.


    But today, he was clearly doing better.


    When Jean walked into the bedroom, Samuel was already out of bed, standing by the window, staring out <b>at </b>something.


    He turned the moment he heard someone behind him.


    Their eyes met.


    “Samuel.” Jean smiled faintly and softly called his name.


    His face still looked a bit pale and fragile, his skin almost translucent, with bluish veins visibly traced along his face.


    “You came,” Samuel said, returning her smile.


    He walked over and pointed to the couch. “Have a seat.”


    They sat down together.


    “You’re looking a lot better,” Jean said with a yful tilt of her head, studying his face.


    Samuel nodded. “Definitely morefortable than a couple of days ago.”


    “Samuel, there’s something I want to ask you.” Jean spoke suddenly, the smile fading from her lips.
