Serenity smiled and teased, "Are you just using Fabian as an excuse to avoid taking care of him? Deep down, you know he's easier to handle now. He's growing up and getting cuter every day. Sure, he still cries-that's just normal for a baby. He can't talk or walk yet, so crying is how he communicates when he's uncomfortable or wants something. But once he starts walking and talking... oh, he'll be a handful! Honestly, I think Fabian is at his cutest right now."

Serenity spoke with the confidence of someone experienced in raising nephews. She had always loved children, especially babies just a few months old, finding them irresistibly adorable.

Lilian let out a small sigh. "I know all babies cry, but I just can't handle it. It wears me out! Being a mom is no joke. But since becoming a mother, I've grown even more grateful to my master. He's never married or had kids of his own, yet he became a father to me. He picked me up, learned how to care for a baby, raised me, nurtured my talents, and taught me everything I know about medicine. He's not my biological father, but he's been better to me than any father could be. I owe him everything. One day, I'll repay his kindness tenfold. Even now, he helps take care of Fabian and trains my apprentice, Titus. Honestly, Titus feels like his apprentice too."

Whenever she had time, Lilian would step in to guide Titus, but most of the time, he lived with her master and several other elders. They were the ones shaping him.

Serenity nodded. “Your master adores Fabian, and it's clear Fabian loves him too. Asking him to help with Fabian isn't a burden—it's a joy for him. Remember how he used to urge you to get married just so he could experience the happiness of having a

grandchild? Letting him care for Fabian is its own form of filial piety.

"And Titus is in great hands. Your master and the other elders treat him like one of their own. We can rest easy knowing Titus is with them. His future is secure. With their guidance—and the love and support of your siblings and the other seniors-Titus will grow up strong. The kind of child they're raising won't let anyone walk over him."

Titus had been raised among the elders since he was little, growing up under their watchful eyes. Serenity felt confident that, twenty or thirty years from now, when Titus was ready to pursue his own goals, those same elders would ensure he stayed on the right path and avoided trouble. Jane and Ben's decision to send Titus to the doctor had been the right one.

Lilian smiled softly. "It was fate. The moment I saw Titus, I just knew I liked him. He's incredibly smart."

Back then, Lilian had never considered getting married or having kids. Her master had been adamant that she find an heir, someone to carry on their legacy. While traveling to treat patients, she kept an eye out for potential candidates. Her master insisted she find a young child, ideally an orphan, who could grow up by her side. That way, the bond between master and apprentice would be strong, and they'd be more receptive to learning. Lilian met many intelligent kids during her travels, but none of them clicked with her- until she met Titus. She felt an instant connection. Even now, she thought Titus outshone her own son when it came to learning medicine.

Fabian, as the grandson of the Johnson family, might not follow the path of medicine. The family's legacy came with other responsibilities, and he would likely inherit those.

That left Titus as the one destined to carry on her master's and her own medical skills.

"Titus is brilliant," Serenity agreed. "I really like him too. He and Sonny get along so well-they're like two peas in a pod. Growing up together like this, they'll probably stay close friends. It's always good to have someone to lean on." Lilian nodded in agreement. "Auntie! Auntie!"

Sonny's voice called out from the staircase.

"Sonny's awake!" Serenity exclaimed, turning toward the stairs.

She saw the little boy at the top and immediately walked toward him. "Sonny, are you feeling better? Are you hungry? Do you want something to drink?" she asked warmly as she approached, her concern evident in her tone.
