Serena shot off a cheerful emoji.

Seeing her happiness, Martin's eyes softened and a faint smile played on his lips.

[Feel like stepping out?] Martin asked gently, [I'm just outside.]

[No.]

Serena wanted to stay home, hoping for a chance to get closer to her grandmother.

[Well, you rest up, and when you're ready, just let me know. I'll come and get you.]

Belinda genuinely wanted to speak with Arabella, but before she could broach the subject, she was taken aback by the sight of the sky filled with smiling-faced balloons. The scene was especially stunning against the snowy backdrop.

"Does grandma like it?" Arabella asked with a smile, "I'll take a picture for you."

"Why don't we take one together?"

Belinda called over a servant to help them take a few pictures.

The white snowy world and the sky full of pink balloons formed their backdrop. Arabella crouched down, parallel to the wheelchair, and both of them laughed at the camera.

With the balloons, all bearing cheerful faces, as their backdrop, the photos turned out exceptionally joyful and appealing.
