Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 971

Chapter 971 She Still Wants to Live a More Meaningful Life

Beata returned home and was walking up the stairs when she heard River's voice, "Back already?" Startled, Beata looked up at River leaning on the railing and said, annoyed, "Why are you scaring me like that, River? Don't you know it's not funny?"

River replied, "I thought maybe you weren't coming back."

This only made Beata more upset. She marched up the stairs and stood in front of River with her hands on her hips. "What do you mean? Why wouldn't I come back home? Are you trying to kick me out or something?"

River retorted, "Well then tell me this - where did you go every night in the past two days?"

Beata choked a little before confidently responding, "I've been visiting Yael." She looked at River suspiciously. "You knew where I was all along. Why ask me now? What are you trying to find out from me?"

"I know," River said. "I just don't know when did you get to know Yael so well?"

Giving River a speechless look, Beata said, "River, you are so funny. You clearly know when I know Yael, but you deliberately ask me. What do you want to know?"

Listening to Beata speak so boldly made River realize he might have been overthinking things.

He had planned on teasing her a bit but it seemed like this little girl wasn't easily fooled.

"I was just thinking how fast my little sister is growing up," he said with a sigh.

Beata rolled her eyes and walked past him towards her room. As she passed by him, she suddenly remembered something important.

"By the way," she called out over her shoulder. "I wanted to let you know that I'll be going over to Yael's house every day from now on because I got a puppy! He's helping me take care of her until she grows bigger."

River stood there stunned as his good sister informed him about getting a dog without any prior warning.

She really liked him.

Now that she had finally reached adulthood, Beata was starting to feel restless. She wanted to take her relationship with Yael to the next level.

Of course, this was even further, not physical, but relational.

After all, she had not yet gone to college, and if she had taken it that far, she was sure that no matter how close River and Yael were, Yael would have been beaten to death and she would have been skinned.

So, honestly speaking, Beata still thought that following the rules and doing things step by step was better.

Of course, she still wanted to have a meaningful birthday this year.
