Wesley also cheered, raising his glass. "Let's toast to Athena's success in the SAT!"
"Cheers!"
With that, the meal was essentially over. Athena had her own matters to attend to, so she stood up to leave. Josie insisted on accompanying her to the community gates, so Arthur scooped her up. "Alright, let's go together to see Athena off."
Seeing this, Maria quickly followed. "I'll come too."
Wesley and Claire watched them with a hint of envy, wishing they could also go see their daughter off. However, knowing how low-key Athena was, they didn't want to make a big deal out of it, especially since she didn't even let them pick her up when she first came home.
"Go ahead," Wesley said generously, waving his hand. "You can even have some fun outside if you want."
After the four children left, Wesley walked into the kitchen. "Claire, you tidy up the table, and I'll prepare the skewers for tonight."
Tomorrow they would be getting the keys to their new house, and he wanted to enjoy one more night of excitement and happiness before the big day. But he knew he had to work hard to earn the money for the new house's renovation.
A 1800-square-feet duplex would cost a lot to furnish and decorate, easily running into 20 thousand dollars. Claire agreed, "Alright, let's set up the stall early tonight and make as much as we can."
At the community gates, Josie clung to Athena's sleeve, her eyes welling with emotion. "Athena, when will you come home again? I want to see you and the little black cat..."
Athena gently patted her head. "I'll be back tomorrow to get the keys to the new house, and I'll bring the little black cat with me. We'll see each other then."
Josie smiled, quickly pecked Athena on the cheek, then hid her face behind her Hello Kitty toy, giggling shyly. "See you tomorrow, Athena."
"See you tomorrow," Athena replied, waving as she got into her car and drove away. She drove slowly, glancing in the rearview mirror. In the mirror, she saw Josie and the others standing there, their figures growing smaller and smaller until they disappeared from view.
Only then did she turn her attention back to the road, letting out a soft sigh. It was only her second visit, yet why did she already feel this pang of separation? The sound of an iMessage notification interrupted her thoughts.
She waited until she reached a red light before stopping to check the message. Dr. Annie's team had replied.
The message wrote: [We've discussed it. This surgery is very challenging, and we have a very slim chance of success, but we need enough time to observe the patient and develop a detailed surgical plan.]
[Even for the sake of Miracle 3.0, we think we should give it a try.]
[What's your opinion, boss?]
Athena replied: [I have great respect for this patient. I've decided to go ahead with the surgery.]
[I'll message Matthew shortly to let him know that Dr. Annie is willing to take on his sister's case and have him coordinate directly with Fanny.]
The group chat responded: [We can send two people over the day after tomorrow to start the preliminary work. The rest will join once they finish their urgent tasks.]
"Cheers!"
