Chapter 150: Keeping Score
After dinner, the party host gathered everyone around for the much-anticipated gift opening. Among the sea of colorful packages, two massive gifts stood out—the ones from Greg and Ric.
"Wow, I don’t even need to guess who those are from," Eve quipped, standing beside Cammy while savoring a cupcake.
Cammy let out a deep sigh, eyeing the two similarly sized boxes with mild apprehension. "I just hope they didn’t get him the same thing. That would be... awkward."
The host invited Dylan to choose which gift to open first. His excitement had been building all day, and without hesitation, he pointed at Greg’s box. The host and his nanny stepped in to help, carefully peeling away the wrapping since Dylan couldn’t reach all the parts from his wheelchair.
As the final layer of wrapping fell away, Dylan’s jaw dropped, and a collective gasp rippled through the crowd of kids watching.
"A bike!" Dylan shouted, his face lighting up in pure joy. Without missing a beat, he scanned the audience, quickly locking eyes with Greg.
Grinning from ear to ear, he threw up a big thumbs-up. "Thank you, Uncle Greg! I like it so much!"
Greg chuckled and called back, "You’re welcome, buddy! Now you better heal fast so you can actually ride it!"
Cammy reached out, her fingers gently rubbing soothing circles on Greg’s back. "Thank you again. I really think it’s a perfect gift," she murmured, her voice warm with gratitude.
