Ceceliay in her hospital bed, receiving her IV therapy. As she gazed at her newborn daughter beside
her, the thought of the perilous scene she had just experienced made her eyshes tremble
incessantly. In fact, it even made breathing particrly difficult for her.
She gently stroked the baby sleeping soundly beside her, her voice tinged with sorrow as she spoke to
Avery, “This is my eldest child. The younger one didn''t develop as well as the first. Because I was
forced to inducebor, the second child''s life is now in danger, and she''s currently being resuscitated in
the emergency room...”
Whenever Cecelia thought of her frail younger daughter, her heart ached as if being cut by a knife. It
felt as though an invisible thread was mercilessly coiling around her neck.
As she spoke, her tears began to fall once again.
Seeing her state, Avery hurriedly pulled out a tissue to wipe away her tears. “Cecelia, your baby will
definitely be safe and sound. You''ve just given birth. You can''t cry... A new mother''s eyes are the most
vulnerable. What if you damage your eyes by crying? Don''t assume that I''m just trying to scare you.
When I was studying abroad and working part-time at a hospital, I saw this happen. There was a
Ustranean woman who had postpartum depression, and she cried every day. As a result, she went
blind from crying. You can''t let yourself be like that. You still have two adorable babies to take
care of.”
Thefort from Avery allowed Cecelia to suddenlye to a realization.
Indeed, no matter how desperate she felt at this moment, she couldn''t let herself break down. If she
did, who would take care of her baby?
Upon hearing the news of Cecelia''s hospitalization from Avery, Nina quickly came over with a basket of
fruits.
At the entrance of the hospital corridor, she saw Xavier standing like a statue outside a certain patient''s
room.
He was smoking sullenly, an unpleasant expression on his face. It seemed like he was burdened with
endless worries.
“Mr. Dartsley, you''re here too,” Nina greeted him, then pointed to the door of the hospital room he was
facing and asked, “Is Cecelia staying in this room?”
“Mm.” Xavier''s gaze fell on that door, a twinge of pain in his heart.
Seeing him hesitate to enter, Nina found it very strange and couldn''t help but ask, “Mr. Dartsley, why
are you standing outside the ward? Why don''t you go in?”
Xavier stuttered a bit, “I... I''m good. I wanted to step outside for a smoke. They don''t allow smoking in
the ward. You go ahead and check on Cecelia. She''s not in the best condition right now.”
Upon waking up, Cecelia was consumed by hatred toward him, repeatedly yelling at him to get lost.
Yet, she was so frail in the ward. Their other baby was still fighting for her life, so how could he bear to
abandon them? To leave the three of them alone?
Therefore, he remained outside her hospital room, pacing back and forth between the baby''s
emergency room and her room. But he dared not enter to face her using and hateful gaze.

Witnessing Xavier stubbornly refusing to enter and observing him walk hastily toward the emergency
room in disarray, Nina shook her head and proceeded directly into the ward.
When Nina saw Cecelia in the hospital room,pletely unharmed, she finally let out a sigh of relief
and let her anxiety fade away.
Casually cing the fruit basket on the table, Nina leaned in with immediate concern for Cecelia.
“Cecelia, are you okay? Avery mentioned that something happened to you. I was so worried that I
rushed over from home. What exactly happened? How did you suddenly give birth? Wasn''t there still a
month left until your due date?”
Due to the time urgency, Avery didn''t provide much exnation to Nina over the phone, leaving her
completely bewildered when she saw that Cecelia had unexpectedly gone into prematurebor.
Avery then exined the ins and outs of the matter to her.
After hearing this, the hot-tempered Nina couldn''t contain her anger and stomped her foot, “That
woman, Griselda, is just too outrageous! Does she have any respect forw and order? Just because
her family holds power and influence, she thinks she can bully Cecelia however she pleases? If I had
been there, I would have definitely given that woman a few ps. Who does she think she is, treating
people like this?”
Seeing Nina''s indignant expression as she fumed on behalf of her, Cecelia gave a faint smile. Her
voice was unusually firm as she said, “Nina, I''m fine now. Today''s events were unexpected, but from
now on, I will take good care of my babies. Griselda won''t get the chance to touch them again.”
After considering Cecelia''s current situation, Avery began to offer her advice. “Cecelia, I don''t think
Griselda has given up at all. Since she couldn''t obtain the baby''s bone marrow this time, she will
undoubtedly seek another opportunity to kidnap the baby. How about this? I''ll ask Cayden to find two
reliable bodyguards for you. It might be a bit inconvenient for you and the baby for a while, and there
might be some restrictions on your freedom...”
Cecelia stared at Avery, her eyes shimmering with touched tears. “Thank you, Avery,” she said, “I don''t
feel upset at all. I just feel bad for causing trouble for you and Mr. Moore.”
Through this incident, she came to realize the formidable influence of the Whitman family. Without
someone close to protect her, her baby could be at risk of being taken away at any moment. If a simr
event urred in the future, she might not be as fortunate as she was earlier.
In her desperation to save her son, Griselda had be reckless and unhinged. For the safety of her
two babies, she had no choice but to ept Avery''s suggestion.
“Ah! Ah!”
The baby, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up from her dreams.
The delicate cry of the baby shattered the silence of the hospital room.
Curious, Nina moved closer. She had never seen such a small baby before.
She couldn''t resist poking the baby''s cheeks, and with surprise on her face, she eximed, “Cecelia,
your daughter''s skin is so fair, just like yours. But right now, it''s hard to tell who she resembles, huh?”
Avery gently halted Nina''s hand from touching the baby''s face, picked up the baby, and began to
soothe in a soft voice, “Sweetheart, don''t cry, okay? Mommy is very weak right now. Be a good baby
and don''t make mommy sad anymore...”
She gently patted the baby''s back, her movements incredibly careful and delicate.
Due to a newborn''s delicate and unstable brain, and their neckcking support, even a slight excessive
movement from an adult could potentially harm the baby. Therefore, Avery was extremely cautious and
gentle in her movements while handling the baby.
Cecelia noticed her daughter gradually stopping her cries under Avery''s soothing, but she became
concerned when she saw the baby''s little mouth continuously opening and closing. Worried, she asked,
“Avery, what''s wrong with the baby?”
Avery exined, “The baby is probably hungry, Cecelia. You should feed her some milk. However,
since you''ve just given birth, you''ll need the baby''s help to stimte milk flow. This process might be a
bit painful for you.”
She handed the baby to Cecelia, lifted her clothes, and quietly indicated what she should do.
The baby, driven by natural instinct,tched onto Cecelia and nursed with relish.
The vast ward fell silent in an instant.
