Madeline parted virtual-novel.net pretty pale lips and smiled slightly. “As long as it’s a child with Jeremy, I don’t mind having a boy or a girl.”
Eloise was initially very happy, but when virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net answer, virtual-novel.net eyes got wet again.
She squeezed Madeline’s hand and said, “Back then, you held this same belief and risked your life to give birth to his child too, didn’t you?”
Madeline smiled without denying it.
Back then…
Back then, virtual-novel.net loved Jeremy so badly that virtual-novel.net would not mind if it meant dying for him.
She did not think there was anything different now too.
She still loved virtual-novel.net a lot.
“It’s a boy,” Eloise told virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net teared up and laughed. “An ugly boy.”
Madeline smiled as well. “When virtual-novel.net grows up, he’ll be handsome. I bet Jack was ugly when virtual-novel.net was born too,” virtual-novel.net said , suddenly turning silent.
She had never seen how Jackson looked like when virtual-novel.net was born…
Madeline spent more than half a month in the hospital to recuperate from virtual-novel.net injuries and for virtual-novel.net postpartum confinement.
Although they found a caregiver, Eloise and Sean took turns taking care of virtual-novel.net every day, sometimes bringing Jackson and Lillian along with them.
That day, Eloise and Madeline had just finished watching the child in the incubator together and were heading back to the ward when they passed through the corridor and unexpectedly saw Karen walking out of Madeline’s ward. She looked cautious and had a bag with her. After virtual-novel.net came out, virtual-novel.net turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Madeline did not understand why virtual-novel.net was there, and Eloise called out to her, “Karen? Did you just come out of the ward? What did you secretly do in my daughter’s ward?”
Karen, who was called out, hid the bag in virtual-novel.net hand behind virtual-novel.net with a guilty conscience.
“I’m just passing by. I just went in to have a look,” virtual-novel.net replied indifferently.
“Then what are you holding? If it’s nothing, why are you hiding it?” Eloise questioned her, virtual-novel.net dislike for Karen evident on virtual-novel.net face.
“It has nothing to do with you,” Karen said, quickly glancing at Madeline before turning around and leaving.
“You…” Eloise wanted to find out what happened, but Madeline grabbed virtual-novel.net before virtual-novel.net could.
Back in the ward, Madeline saw a flask placed in front of the hospital bed.
In the past half a month, every time virtual-novel.net came back from watching the child, there would be a flask on the table.
Madeline remembered that Karen loved testing out food recipes and had always been proud of the food virtual-novel.net made.
Although Madeline and Karen had always been tit for tat and never got along well, virtual-novel.net knew how Karen’s food tasted like.
It tasted like virtual-novel.net cooking.
When Madeline recalled how anxious Karen was for virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net guarded virtual-novel.net and even called Madeline virtual-novel.net child, Madeline felt relieved.
Karen was not a bad person.
She was just too easily provoked.
All the misunderstandings and distance between them were caused by outsiders’ instigation.
One month later, Madeline reached the end of virtual-novel.net postpartum confinement and virtual-novel.net body was fully recovered. However, virtual-novel.net was still worried about virtual-novel.net son who was still in the incubator.
On the other hand, virtual-novel.net was even more worried about Jeremy.
He seemed to have been brainwashed by Lana. Not only had virtual-novel.net completely forgotten her, but virtual-novel.net was even being used by Lana to do virtual-novel.net illegal business biddings.
After virtual-novel.net got better, Madeline told Sean and Eloise that it was okay for them to go back after dinner. She stood outside the nursery and looked at the little baby through the glass window.
‘Baby, promise me that you’ll be healthy.’
Madeline raised virtual-novel.net hand and gently placed it on the glass window. When virtual-novel.net was staring at the baby, a handsome figure was suddenly reflected on the glass window.
She was stunned for a moment. When Madeline saw the figure approaching from behind, virtual-novel.net turned around swiftly.
