Mrs. Brown felt relieved. As she was speaking to Jessica, she brought her to the bed and laid her down.Jessica’s expression changed shortly. She gripped Mrs. Brown’s hand and said in fear, “Mom, my tummy hurts.”Upon hearing that, Mrs. Brown dashed outside and shouted, “Chelsea, quickly call an ambulance. Jessica is having a tummy ache.”Chelsea was eating an apple. As soon as she heard her mother’s shout, she walked over leisurely and leaned against the door of the room before she said, “Mom, she’s always saying that her stomach hurts. Don’t buy it. Calling an ambulance is a waste of medical resources. Let’s leave the service to other people who are in need.”“Jessica fell down just now!”Mrs. Brown roared, “Hurry up and call an ambulance.”It was only when Chelsea saw Jessica suffering on the bed did she trust that it was real. Chelsea swiftly rang for an ambulance.…At four in the afternoon, the sunlight was pale.All You Can Eat did not close in the afternoon like it usu
Of course, Chelsea firmly denied that the incident had something to do with her.It was karma that hit Jessica for being evil. Not only did Jessica claim that Liberty brought bad luck to her husband, but she also cursed Chelsea’s sons.Jessica’s baby was a boy. She only learned about it after the miscarriage. Mrs. Brown and Jessica were weeping bitterly.Chelsea was upset for some time, but she soon got over it. Jessica had only herself to blame for being spiteful. She cursed Chelsea’s sons, hoping that they would be stunted or meet with an accident. Indeed, an accident had happened, yet it happened to Jessica. Chelsea strongly believed that this was karma!“Liberty, you don’t know how spiteful Jessica is. She watched the news and found out that Mr. Lewis met with an accident. Those unethical media made false assumptions and mentioned you in the news. Jessica claimed that you brought bad luck to Mr. Lewis. She said Mr. Lewis was involved in the accident only because he was in
Chelsea smiled awkwardly. After glancing at Sonny, she said, “After all, Sonny needs a father.”“Doesn’t he have a father now? No matter how my relationship with Hank turns out, Hank is still Sonny’s father. This is a fact.”“No, no. I didn’t mean that. I think Sonny will only be happy if he grows up in a complete family.”“I think Sonny is happy now. He’s always happy. In the past, when his father was busy with work and spending time with other women, he hardly spent time with Sonny. Even now, his father only came to visit him occasionally. How is it different from before?“Sonny has long since gotten used to not having his father’s company. With Seren and I spending time with him, he’s carefree. He’s living happily and healthily.”Chelsea was at a loss for words.She knew that settling the issue by involving Sonny would not work. The Browns were unwilling to give up. They had tried to persuade Liberty countless times, but it was fruitless. Hank regretted it, but he knew Lib
Jessica simply wanted Hank to fully side with her.Her current situation was self-inflicted. She did not deserve sympathy.“Mom, why didn’t Dunc come today?” Sonny asked.He recalled visiting Dunc in the hospital with his mother yesterday. He asked, “Mom, hasn’t Dunc recovered?” Duncan said he would recover soon.Sonny thought that Duncan would be able to recover by today.Liberty said gently, “Dunc will need some time to recover. Do you miss him?”Sonny nodded.He was used to Duncan’s presence.He would not be accustomed to suddenly not seeing someone he had been seeing every day.“Mom, can you bring me to the hospital to visit Dunc?”Liberty recalled that Duncan did not want to meet her. However, he did not mention not wanting to meet Sonny. Anyway, she was concerned about Duncan’s injury. Although Duncan drove her out of the ward early morning yesterday, she felt that it had been a while since she last visited him. She hoped that Duncan could recover soon.“Okay. I’ll
After some thought, Camryn said, “Let me call my assistant and ask her when she’ll be back. I can only leave if someone can watch the shop.”Given that she wanted to socialize with the Lewises, it would be better for her to visit them in person to show her sincerity.She used her old-fashioned phone to call her shop assistant. The call connected shortly.“Ms. Camryn, I’m at the door,” the shop assistant said with a smile. Subsequently, she hung up and parked her e-bike before entering the shop.At the sight of Liberty and Sonny, the shop assistant greeted them with a grin and carried Sonny.Sonny felt that he was likable indeed.Camryn reminded the shop assistant about some things. After that, she followed Liberty and Sonny to visit Duncan in the hospital while bringing along the tonics.Upon their arrival at the hospital, Duncan still refused to meet Liberty.Camryn was dumbfounded when she heard that.Not only did he refuse to meet Liberty, but he also refused to meet Sonn
Lilian pinched her husband’s face while laughing.Lilian and Tim did not hold a wedding for the time being as she was pregnant. They registered their marriage first.Jane and Iris had given birth. Soon, Lilian’s baby would come into this world. Jane was pregnant with twins, which explained why her babies were born earlier than expected. Otherwise, Lilian’s baby would be almost the same age as Jane’s children.Jane had delivered her babies, whereas Lilian was still pregnant with a belly as big as a watermelon.Lilian’s baby was mischievous, showing strong movements.Sometimes, the baby could be seen arching Lilian’s stomach using his small legs or hands. At this point, Tim enjoyed playing with the fetus the most. Every night, when the fetal movement was strongest, he would be playing with the baby with Lilian’s stomach between them.Lilian had long since known that she was pregnant with a baby boy.Perhaps it was because she was a doctor. A brilliant doctor.Tim pulled a long
Tim scowled quietly.Lilian walked to a gazebo and sat under it.Naturally, Tim followed her.“Let’s get the butler to prepare some coffee and pastry to serve Mr. Callum when he comes later.”Tim took out his phone and ordered the butler to send some coffee, pastry, and fruit over.He also asked the butler to prepare Lilian’s favorite snacks.Ever since Lilian got pregnant, she had not been able to stop herself from eating whenever she was awake. She felt the need to eat snacks.She still had three meals a day. Even so, she did not gain much weight. Her nutrients were all absorbed by the baby in the womb.About ten minutes later, Callum walked to the gazebo with the butler.“Mr. Tim, Dr. Carden.”Callum greeted them with a smile.Tim looked sullen without saying a word. Once Lilian darted a glance at him, his expression became gentle. He politely greeted Callum, “Please take a seat, Mr. Callum.”Callum could tell that Tim disliked the sight of him.Given that Callum came o
Nevertheless, Lilian had a giant belly. Even when Lilian went out for a check-up, Tim had to bring along a few bodyguards to follow her closely and look after her.Callum quickly said, “Mr. Tim, I got it. Even if Dr. Carden promises to treat my fiancée’s eyes now, I won’t dare ask her to leave the house.”He fixed his eyes on Lilian and begged, “Dr. Carden, can you get the genius doctor to treat my fiancée? I can afford the cost no matter how expensive it is. I can also accept any requirements for it.”Lilian was an excellent doctor, and the genius doctor was even more outstanding. After all, he was Lilian’s mentor. Furthermore, the genius doctor had been well-known for over a decade. Being called a genius doctor, he was indeed an impressive figure.If the genius doctor was willing to treat Camryn’s eyes, there would be a strong likelihood that Camryn’s vision would be restored.The genius doctor and Lilian were Camryn’s last hope.Callum had promised Camryn that he would beg the
“Remy, Remy!” a voice called from outside. It sounded like Audrey. Remy came out of the kitchen, wearing an apron.“You keep at it, I’ll go out. My mom must have seen the lights and knew you were back, so she’s calling you over for dinner at our house.”At this time, her family was probably halfway through their meal.Elisa put down the remote control and walked out of the house with a packet of snacks in hand, munching as she went.“Mom.” Elisa walked to the fence and responded to her mother.“Elisa? You’re back too? You came back and didn’t even come home for dinner? We’re eating right now. Hurry up and bring Remy over. Grandpa True was just saying that Remy hasn’t come over for dinner in a few days.”Remy had been busy entertaining clients lately, so he had not had time to join his in-laws for meals.Elisa replied, “Mom, I feel like eating Remy’s cooking tonight, so we won’t be coming over. You guys go ahead.”“Oh, you. It’s so late already, and you’re still making Remy c
Elisa said, “Although cousins can be as close as siblings, it’s still better to have another child. After all, we won’t be living at your family home permanently, and our children might not have much time to bond with their cousins in the future.“I have two older brothers, and the three of us have always been close. My brothers have always doted on me, and I can always talk about things with them. My sister-in-law has been very kind to me even after they got married too.“I’m used to having siblings around. It’s lively, and no matter what happens, we can always talk things through. It’s nice not having to face everything alone. I don’t want my children to feel lonely in the future.”Elisa continued, “Most importantly, I love children. If you could be the one to carry and give birth, sparing me the exhaustion of pregnancy, I’d even consider having three kids. But unfortunately, you can’t.“If I have to carry the baby myself, even though I love children, I’d only have two—preferably
Jasmine smiled. “I can’t tell. He’s so tiny. I’m scared when I have to carry him. I’m afraid of hurting him. What if he slips from my arms?”As a first-time mother, Jasmine was inexperienced. She was not like Serenity, who had raised a baby before. Josh and Zachary had secretly taken classes on how to look after a baby. The way Josh held the baby was more accurate than hers. “You’ll get better at it after learning slowly. I didn’t dare to carry my nephew either because I was scared of hurting him, but I’m an expert now.”Elisa could not resist touching the baby’s face again. She really liked babies.“Has the baby been fed?”Camila replied, “He was fed an hour ago.”The baby had been ravenous. Everyone was relieved when they saw the baby could feed normally. The doctor said the baby might experience jaundice a few days later and that premature babies should be monitored closely. Jaundice usually appeared when the baby was a few days old. It would reach its peak after
Remy gave it some thought. If he were to become a father, he would also be extremely happy, to the point that he would forget about posting on social media.They were usually busy people and did not have the habit of posting regularly anyway. Josh only started sharing a lot on Facebook after he got married. He simply wanted to show off his life after marriage and irritate his friends who were still single. Even Zachary would post about his love life on Facebook occasionally. Remy suddenly felt he had to keep up with the trend and post something on Facebook during his free time. Remy and Elisa went to buy some supplements before heading to the hospital. There were still many people in Jasmine’s ward. Most of the men were sitting in the small living area while the women were chatting with Jasmine or looking at the baby in the room. The baby boy was already fed and in fresh diapers. He was sleeping soundly. “Jasmine.”Elisa walked over with the supplements she had brought.
The secretary wished she could skip work and visit Jasmine at the hospital with Elisa. However, that could never happen. She was simply an employee, while Elisa was her boss. The only alternative was if Elisa invited her along. Nevertheless, the employees could meet Jasmine during their break or visit her at her house. Elisa left excitedly. A Maybach was parked at the entrance of the company. When Remy spotted Elisa exiting, he stuck his head out and waved at her. Upon seeing him, she was no longer in a hurry to get to her car. She quickly walked over. “Why are you here? Why didn’t you go inside?”Elisa was beaming. As she had received good news, she had a smiling face regardless of who she met.“I just arrived. I didn’t drive inside when I saw you coming out. Where are you going?”Remy got out of the car.“Jasmine gave birth. I want to go to the hospital to visit her and her baby. You came at the right time. We can head over together, but let’s get some supplemen
“Yes. Health is the most important thing. Everything else is secondary. With the York family’s wealth and numbers, they won’t have to worry about not having a successor even if your child is slightly more ordinary.”Of course, Elisa personally hoped the next successor of the York family would be her nephew.The Stones and the Yorks could be considered relatives because Elisa and Serenity were cousins.The successor of the Stone family was most likely Clive’s son. If the York family’s heir was not Serenity’s child, would the two families’ relationship that was finally mended become strained again?After all, the head of the York family would no longer be a relative of the Stones if that were the case. However, Elisa did not voice her thoughts. She did not want Serenity to feel pressured. As an aunt, she also thought her nephew’s health was more important than anything else.“You must be busy, Elisa. You should go on with your work. I shall not disturb you. I appreciate your
“A baby’s face changes almost every day. We’ll only know who he takes after when he’s a little older.”Serenity agreed. “I should call Elisa and share this news with her.”Jasmine probably did not have time to tell her friends about her newborn. Serenity also forgot to inform Elisa because she was too worried about Jasmine. Zachary told her to call Elisa only after they were inside the car. There were too many people in the hospital. Serenity held back her excitement and immediately called Elisa when she got in the car. Elisa was extremely busy at the company. She was the only one who could manage their joint company at that moment because Serenity and Jasmine were pregnant. Even if they wanted to return to the company to work, Elisa would not allow them. Rest was of utmost importance for pregnant women. Elisa was unmarried and not pregnant. She did not mind being busier. She only picked up Serenity’s call after some time.“Seren.”Elisa held the phone in her left h
“All that matters is that you’re okay, honey. Let’s not have more children. We’ll just have this one son.”Josh spoke while holding Jasmine’s hand.Women had to experience immense pain when giving birth. It came with many risks as well. Josh had heard other people saying that a woman usually had one foot in the grave during childbirth.He was genuinely shocked after accompanying Jasmine through her labor. He had been terrified and worried that something would happen to Jasmine.Luckily, everything ended well. Jasmine and their son were safe. However, Josh did not want to experience something like that again. Having one child was enough. There was no need for a second or third child. The Buchams were a big family anyway. He did not have to bear the responsibility of expanding the family alone.“Okay. We shall not have another baby.”Although Jasmine was brimming with motherly love and recovery from a vaginal delivery was quicker, she still thought childbirth was too
It was not just Camila. The rest of the people there also had the same thought. Josh and Jasmine had a great relationship. If something happened to Jasmine, Josh would be devastated and lose all hope of living.“Congratulations. The mother has given birth to a boy safely. The baby boy is six pounds and three ounces.”The people who brought Josh out were the anesthetist and nurse.The nurse instinctively reported the good news when she saw the crowd.Then, she explained, “The father probably fainted from shock after the baby was born. Come over and help bring him to the side to rest. The mother won’t be out that quickly.”Upon hearing her words, everyone’s mood brightened up.Camila, whose legs felt weak just now, was immediately filled with strength and stood up. Without Drake's help, she went to the nurse and asked, “Does the baby need to be in the incubator since he was born prematurely?”The nurse replied, “We’ll put the baby in the incubator and observe him for a while. If
