Now, Brenda and Amy wanted to return to Newmans’ residence to compete for the property.There was no sisterhood between Evelyn and her sisters anymore.“Alright. I’ll wait for you at home, Aunt Evelyn.”“Okay. I’m going to take a cab and head there now.”Aunt Evelyn ended the call after speaking to Camryn for a short while. Knowing that Aunt Evelyn would be coming, Camryn said to Dalton, “Dal, let’s buy some seafood home. Aunt Evelyn loves to eat seafood.”“Alright.”Dalton accompanied Camryn to buy a lot of seafood.Camryn wanted to cook the seafood so that Aunt Evelyn could eat it once she came. Unfortunately, Camryn was blind, and she had to get Dalton’s help eventually.“I’m really useless.”Camryn said with inferiority, “I’m trying my best to live a normal person’s life, but I can’t do it.”Dalton consoled her by saying, “Cam, don’t overthink. Since Aunt Evelyn is coming, she must’ve found the genius doctor. She’s coming to tell you the good news and bring you to the d
Dalton was a man filled with gratitude. In the past, Camryn had saved and helped him out of the goodness of her heart. He had been repaying her kindness since then and now had become her right-hand man.Aunt Evelyn had thought about matchmaking the two of them as she found Dalton reliable. Dalton did not hold Camryn in contempt just because she was blind. What was more, he was interested in Camryn, but he concealed it so well that no one noticed it.However, Camryn treated Dalton as an older brother without any feelings of romance.After attempting to matchmake them several times, Aunt Evelyn gave up.“No problem at all, Aunt Evelyn. Take a seat. Once the food is ready, I’ll let both of you know.”Dalton returned to the kitchen and carried on with his preparation.Camryn and Aunt Evelyn sat on the couch.“Aunt Evelyn, why didn’t you bring Angel over?”Angel was Aunt Evelyn’s granddaughter who just turned two. She was honey-tongued and likable.“Angel is staying at her grandmot
Camryn did not say anything.Aunt Evelyn patted the back of Camryn’s hand again before she said, “I’m going to help Dalton cook.”While speaking, Aunt Evelyn rose to her feet to head there. Something crossed her mind, and she sat down again. She asked concernedly, “Is Trenton still unwilling to meet you?”Camryn nodded her head.Aunt Evelyn sighed and spoke up for her nephew. “Trenton is in a difficult position. Don’t blame him.”Although Camryn was not wrong, it was hard for Trenton to accept that the sister he respected sent his parents and second sister to jail.“I don’t blame Trenton. He’s a good kid. I believe he’ll slowly get over it.”Aunt Evelyn reminded Camryn, “Mm. But you can’t leave him to hide outside all the time. Find time to meet him every day. Don’t let others seize the chance to win him over and incite him to turn against you.“Where’s Trenton staying now? Give me his address. I’ll go talk to him.”Camryn replied, “He’s staying in a classmate’s hometown in th
Camryn thought that Aunt Evelyn would take a rest instead of helping out since she just arrived. Nonetheless, Aunt Evelyn felt the need to keep herself occupied. She would not treat herself as a guest here, so Camryn let her help Dalton out. Aunt Evelyn asked about Dalton’s marriage in the kitchen. Once she learned that Dalton had gotten engaged, Aunt Evelyn was pleased and reminded him to invite her to his wedding.Dalton planned on inviting Aunt Evelyn to be the witness during their wedding ceremony.Camryn sat on the couch, listening to their conversation. Her mind had wandered over Callum.Callum had done so much for Camryn, yet he did not tell her.Was he planning to surprise her?Was it because if he let Camryn know that Dr. Carden could not make it now, he was worried that Camryn would think about it all the time and have high hopes? She would be extremely disappointed if the hope was gone.It could be both reasons.She recalled the time she met Callum until now.In th
Camryn was in a dilemma for days. When it was time for Aunt Evelyn to leave Wiltspoon, Camryn and Dalton sent her to the airport. After that, Camryn returned to the city center. “Cam, do you want to head home or to your shop?” Dalton asked after passing the freeway.After some thought, Camryn responded, “I’ll head to my shop first.”“Alright.”Dalton directly sent her back to her shop.When she returned to Spring Blossoms, a shop assistant was watching the shop, whereas the other assistant was out delivering a bouquet of flowers to a customer.“Cam, I need to get home now. Melissa keeps texting me to ask when I’m returning.”Camryn answered with a smile, “Hurry up and go home now. When you have no meetings to attend, you should spend more time with Melissa.”When there was a meeting with the top management, Dalton had to fly to Wiltspoon. He would sit beside Camryn and help her manage video meetings.“By the way, bring along a bouquet of flowers.”While speaking, Camyn was a
What was more, the sales of Camryn’s business had skyrocketed, so it was more profitable than before.Camryn left the shop with the bouquet of flowers.Previously, Callum requested that she send flowers to his office in person. Camryn had gone there several times, so she remembered the way. She could easily get to York Corporation without anyone’s help. On her way there, she did not call Callum to inform him.Upon her arrival, she waited at the entrance of the building instead of entering it.The timing coincided with two minutes shy of everyone getting off work. Some employees began to trickle out. Camryn was dressed in a white long dress. She was standing there while holding a striking bouquet of flowers. Coupled with her attractive looks, she resembled a fairy.Everyone in York Corporation was aware of her relationship with Callum. The employees walking out of the building would greet her, while those driving would press down the window buttons to do the same. Camryn woul
Knowing that Callum was not in the office, Camryn continued to wait at the entrance.Zachary said that Callum was on his way back.Camryn slightly regretted it. If she had known earlier that Callum was not in the office, she would call him in advance. However, she would not be able to surprise him in that case. Fortunately, Callum rushed over from Wiltspoon Hotel without keeping Camryn waiting for too long.On his way here, he was guessing why Camryn suddenly came to meet him.Zachary only told Callum that Camryn had come, but Zachary did not tell Callum why she came. Since Camryn left in Dalton’s car the other day, Callum had not met Camryn for several days. They did communicate with each other on the phone. Nevertheless, every time he called her, he was the one speaking, whereas she just acted as a listener.Callum was aware that Aunt Evelyn came to visit. He said that he wanted to visit Aunt Evelyn, but Camryn forbade him from doing so. Camryn said that she would like to sp
“Aunt Evelyn’s in-laws’ business will get better.”Callum had found out about the business belonging to Aunt Evelyn’s in-laws and asked someone to help them out. He believed that their business as well as living conditions would soon improve. “Hopefully.”Camryn knew that Aunt Evelyn’s family nearly went bankrupt, but luckily, her cousins were reliable. As a result of all their hard work, there was an improvement in their business, which helped relieve their financial stress.Of course, Camryn hoped that their business would bounce back or even reach greater heights.Aunt Evelyn’s family was nice. Good people should be rewarded.Sometimes, Uncle Irving would be unhappy that Aunt Evelyn put aside her family matters and ran around to ask about Camryn’s eye treatment. Even so, he would secretly provide a lot of financial assistance and ask around to look for better eye specialists.Uncle Irving was not related to Camryn, yet he could tolerate Aunt Evelyn running around for the sak
“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
Zachary was also worried that Serenity would go into premature labor out of shock. He also persuaded her to go for her checkup in a gentle voice. They could not do anything but wait anyway.Serenity finally decided to conduct her prenatal checkup first. Zachary accompanied her. Just moments after they left, the door to the delivery suite opened. A nurse stood there and shouted, “Is Jasmine Sox’s husband here?”“Yes. I’m her husband,” replied Josh quickly. He dashed to the nurse. “You must save Jas, doctor. Save the mother no matter what.”His family members behind him also echoed, “That’s right. No matter what happens, you have to save Jasmine.”The nurse said, “The mother is fine. It’s just that she wants her husband to accompany her as she’s in a lot of pain.”Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Josh was about to rush inside but was stopped by the nurse.She asked him to change his clothes before taking him inside the delivery suite.Jasmine was wailing in pain. When
With advanced medical technology, a premature baby could still be healthy if taken good care of in the incubator. Serenity said, “Jasmine should be at thirty-five weeks. I just don’t understand why she would suddenly go into labor. Did she fall at home?“Or did she eat something that made her go into labor?”Zachary said, “That’s most likely not the case. Josh’s cousin is Jasmine’s dietician and keeps an eye on her food every day. There’s no way Jasmine would’ve eaten something bad unless she ate it secretly.”Serenity and Zachary suddenly went silent. Pregnant women had weird appetites. Once they had a craving, they could not go unsatisfied. Sometimes, they would even crave fruits that were not in season. Serenity herself was one of them. Once, she woke up in the middle of the night craving mac and cheese. Of course, Zachary, the ever-doting husband, had to satisfy her request. However, where could he find mac and cheese at that hour?Ultimately, he had to drive to the
People would reap what they had sown. They would have to bear the consequences of their actions. Sometimes, interfering in another person’s fate would backfire. After chatting for some time, Serenity said, “I have to go for my checkup now, Liberty. Let’s talk again when you’re free another day.“By the way, I’ll get someone to bring Sonny to you this weekend. He misses you.”“Okay,” said Liberty. After the call ended, Serenity put her phone into her bag and stood up. She told the man behind the office desk, “It’s almost time, babe. Let’s go.”“Okay. I’m almost done.”Zachary quickly signed and stamped a document before closing it. He walked over with the document in hand. Serenity and Zachary left the office together. He handed the document to his secretary. The secretary did not expect him to pass the document to him personally. He had thought of entering Zachary’s office to request it later. The secretary watched Zachary and Serenity leave. He could not believe
Lilian often messed with the medicinal herbs her master cultivated, which led to her being chased and scolded by him.It seemed her son had inherited her restless nature.“How’s Sonny been lately?”Liberty had been on edge these past few days because Caroline had been preparing to lure her three brothers into a trap and had not had time to call her son.“Same as usual, but it seems like things have soured again with the Browns.”Serenity added, “Sonny still answers when Hank calls him, but he doesn’t seem happy when his grandparents visit. He doesn’t like going to the Browns’ place, and he doesn’t want to take their calls either.“Hank’s mother and sister are truly incorrigible. They must have been badmouthing you and Duncan in front of Sonny again, which is why he’s upset with them.”During the holidays, Sonny had stayed with the Browns for a few days and started to warm up to them.However, who would have thought that the mother and daughter would start spouting nonsense in f
Once the baby was born, he would apply the knowledge he had learned over the past few months to care for the baby. He was determined to be a competent and responsible father.Serenity released her arms from around him and shifted to her side.Zachary let go, too, allowing her to turn.Then, she planted countless gentle kisses on his face.“Babe, with you here, the baby and I will be just fine. Don’t worry too much,” Serenity comforted softly after kissing him.“You are my rock. If even you are nervous, I’ll start feeling anxious too, and that won’t be good.”Hearing this, Zachary immediately said, “Seren, don’t worry. I’ll protect both of you. Alright, I won’t be so nervous anymore.”He gently touched her rounded belly again. “Lil’ Bun should be a calm kid. He’s not that mischievous.”He felt that the baby’s movements were not too intense.Serenity wanted to tell him that there were times when the baby kicked more vigorously, but she decided against it, knowing it would only m
“Just hit the gym a few more times. Lately, you’ve been spending less time there.”Every day after work, he would come home and orbit around her. As a result, he had less time to work out.It was normal to gain a few pounds eating well and exercising less. Did he really think he could eat anything without gaining weight?The reason he could maintain a model-like physique before was that he exercised daily.“Ow.” Serenity suddenly cried out in pain.This startled Zachary so much that he nearly jumped up, asking anxiously, “Is it stomach pain? Are you going into labor? Let’s go to the hospital right away.”He was about to pick her up, but Serenity stopped him by pressing his hand.“Don’t be so nervous, Zachary. It's not time yet. It’s not happening so soon. It’s just the baby kicking again. His kicks are getting stronger.”As she entered the later stages of pregnancy, the little one inside her was growing stronger. Sometimes, a couple of kicks from the baby could actually hurt.
