"My baby." Grace extended her hand to accept the baby in the nurse's arms. The baby had just finished bathing this morning."It smells so good." Shane kissed the baby's cheek. He stroked his cheek very gently with the backs of his fingers.Grace frowned. All the babies' faces looked similar, but she felt that the baby she was holding now was not her baby. She watched carefully. The baby's gaze was also different because the color of his eyeballs was not the same. She could clearly remember that her baby's eyeballs were blue, but the baby in her arms now had gray eyeballs.A mother's feelings cannot be deceived. She does not have a strong bond with the baby in her arms right now. Her heart felt strange and wrong when she held the baby."This is not my baby." Grace said in a panic. She let go of the cradle, put the baby on the bed, and got out of there. She rushed to the baby box, but it was empty.Grace's heart started beating very fast. Her face paled; she began to panic at the though
The room was lit by a dim lamp. Grace was sleeping on the bed. Beside her bed is a baby box. Shane was asleep on the sofa. Lindsay and Robin had gone home a few hours ago.In front of the VIP room, there were two bodyguards standing guard. They looked so scary with their fierce faces and burly bodies.A woman in a nurse's outfit came in with a trolley. She covered her face with a mask."You're not coming in." One of the guards stopped her."I want to check on the baby. His diaper needs to be changed, and he needs to be fed milk." The nurse gave an excuse."You cannot enter until you have permission. This is an order.""But I'm a health worker. If you don't let me in, there could be something wrong with the baby. Will you be blamed if anything untoward happens to the baby?"The two guards seemed to be thinking. They looked at each other, as if they were discussing something from each other's gaze."Alright, you can come in." Finally they relented, giving permission for the nurse to ent
Shane took a deep breath. He tried to neutralize his feelings. He didn't want to make a scene because he was provoked by Jackson. This was a happy day for the birth of little Kairos. He didn't want to turn that happiness into a scene."Fine, if you insist. You really are a heartless man. You shouldn't have come today if you just wanted to spoil the mood." Shane tried to keep his tone under control. He clenched his hands tightly.Grace grasped the hem of Shane's shirt. It's as if she's telling him to stay calm and not to be provoked by Jackson's words and behavior today. She didn't want any trouble. Especially since both their parents were there, plus Adam was an outsider. She didn't want any gossip circulating outside."Let's go now." Shane took over baby Kairos, inviting Jackson to do a DNA test to get their problems over with. If everything was done today, he would no longer need to meet with Jackson in the future.Jackson was about to take a step, but his steps were immediately hel
Today was the day Grace was due to give birth. Everyone looked tense waiting in front of the room. Only Grace and a few doctors were in there. The doctor did not give permission to they to come in and accompany the delivery. They could only wait in front of the room as they wheeled Grace to be okay."Shane."The call made everyone turn their heads toward the source of the voice. It was Adam who arrived with his two assistants. The man carried a bucket of flowers as a souvenir. He was tense waiting for Grace to finish giving birth."Why did you come here? Aren't you busy working? You sent a gift; that's enough." Shane said reluctantly. Adam had done a lot for Grace throughout their acquaintance."I didn't have anything to do today, so I came." Adam said with a smile. In fact, he had arranged his schedule so that he had nothing to do today. He wanted to be there at Grace's most crucial time. He wanted to make sure that she was okay. He was serious about his feelings right now.Adam had
Grace turned to look at Shane with a questioning look. Her brow furrowed, and her eyes narrowed at the man."But, you have the right to marry the woman you love. You can't be stuck on me forever. You have the right to pursue your own happiness.""You are the source of my happiness. Grace, I love you. I've been suppressing my feelings for a long time. I always suppressed my feelings to maintain a good relationship with you. I didn't want our relationship to change because I expressed my feelings to you. I thought you still loved Jackson, so I chose to keep my feelings bottled up." Shane explained."You said you already have a woman you love...." Grace seemed hesitant to continue. She was thinking now, was her guess about the woman Shane liked right all along?"You're right, and that woman is you." Shane said firmly. He got up from his seat and approached Grace with a shy smile. He knelt down in front of her and took both of her hands.Grace looked very nervous. She had never felt that
Claire was very satisfied with the outcome of their debate today. She smiled triumphantly, as if her goal had been accomplished. From the look in her eyes and the look on her face, Grace could guess that Claire was now preparing for the day of her delivery.However, Grace felt very calm. As long as Shane was there, everything would be fine. She believed that. Shane would never let anyone disturb the peace of her life, let alone hurt her child."All right. I can't wait for your child to be born; let us know at which hospital you're giving birth. We'll come." Claire said excitedly.Grace did not respond; she was silent in response."This is a gift from me and Jackson." Claire placed a grocery bag on the table. From the bag, it looked like a name brand."Let me know if you need anything." Jackson ordered, then got up from his seat."No need, we don't need your help." Shane immediately dismissed it firmly.Jackson could only sigh harshly. He gave Grace a quick glance, then left with Clair
