The Unveiled Rose novel Chapter 252

Willow lifted her chin. "It's a secret."

Dorothy and Milton instantly clapped. "You're already keeping secrets at your age? Our Willow is amazing!"

Willow blushed with a smile. "Yeah!"

After exercising and taking a bath, the family sat down at the dining table to eat.

Willow, who had only just started speaking with Dorothy and Milton, was already bursting to share everything with them.

She chirped away like a little sparrow. "Grandpa, Grandma, the chef at our house makes such delicious food. You can tell him whatever you want to eat, and he'll make it for you. So, don't hold back!"

Dorothy still felt like she was dreaming. All they did yesterday was give Willow a suggestion. Yet, after proceeding with it, Willow actually got better?

Milton answered, "Alright."

As a thought crossed Dorothy's mind, she immediately suggested, "How about we take you out for some fun after school to celebrate you finally being able to talk to us normally, Willow?"

Willow quickly said, "I don't think I can."

Dorothy looked at Willow with a confused look. "Why?"

"I have to go home every day to train with my coach," Willow answered honestly. "I can't slack off, or I might get lazy and never want to practice again!"

Milton suggested a solution. "Then, how about Saturday?"

"Sure!" Willow nodded enthusiastically.

Every word she said made her feel happy and optimistic. "Can we bring Penelope, then? She's my only and best friend at school!"

Without any hesitation, Dorothy agreed, "Absolutely!"

…

After reaching an agreement, we dropped Willow off at kindergarten. When she saw Penelope, she ran up to her.

"Oh." Penelope was a bit disappointed but quickly cheered up. At least Willow could talk to her now, which made her happy.

Zachary, who followed behind them and was listening to what Willow said, couldn't help but feel happy as well.

Since Willow was getting better, Annalise would probably be happy, too, right?

He didn't dare hope for much anymore. His only wish was for Annalise to live a good life. That would be enough.

…

As I watched Willow and Penelope, I still found it hard to believe. I turned to Zane. "Willow can talk to Penelope normally now even without the walkie-talkies?"

Zane was equally surprised. "It seems so."

Confused, I got into the car. "I originally thought we'd at least need walkie-talkies, but it seems we don't now."

Zane chuckled softly. "What a pleasant surprise."
