"It's too early for you to worry about such things."
Joanna pursed her lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
She really was worried too early.
"Sis, I won't consider dating for the next few years," Jeremy said like he was making a promise, "so don't worry."
Joanna: "I'm not worried, but if you truly meet someone that makes your heart race, feel free to date. But, that should wait until after your surgery."
"Speaking of the surgery, Jeremy went to the hospital for a checkup a few days ago. His current physical condition is not bad; I told him that after his upcoming birthday, we'd schedule the surgery."
Ashton Heath successfully shifted the conversation topic.
Speaking of Jeremy's illness, Joanna immediately showed concern and asked, "Can Jeremy have his surgery soon?"
"Yes, his current physical condition allows for the surgery."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, I am sure."
"Ashton."
"Hmm?"
