Chapter 1977- Live in the Moment
Finally, peace and quiet descended. Juanita, hunched over in front of the screen, hurriedly asked
her most pressing question. "How is it, giving birth? Does it hurt?" Joyce shrugged, "It''s bearable."
"I''m scared, I''m afraid of the pain, you know," Juanita''s face filled with worry, "What should I do?
Maybe I should just have a C-section. But everyone else wants me to have a natural birth."
"Everyone meaning Constance? Your mother-inw?" Joyce asked with a smile. "Yes, I think they
all want me to have a second child, a third child. Of course, a natural birth. But I''m really scared, I''ve
read online about women talking about the pain, they say childbirth is a level 12 pain, just thinking
about it makes me afraid," Juanita''s tone was clearly not happy.
"Even Karl wants me to have a natural birth, dragging me out for walks every day. He even makes
me climb stairs, says it''s exercise, that it''ll make childbirth easier. Joyce, do you think they know I''m
having a daughter? Do they all hope I''ll give them a son in the future?"
Joyce shook her head, "You, normally so optimistic. Why are you getting confused now? Natural
birth is definitely better. What does it have to do with whether you have a boy or a girl? I think
Constance definitely prefers a girl. Karl too. You''re overthinking things."
"I know, my mother-inw has said more than once that she likes girls. Before the child is even
born, there are all kinds of beautiful dresses piled up, feels like even if I had ten children, they
wouldn''t wear them all," Juanita pouted.
"So, don''t worry. Now we have painless delivery. I used it when I gave birth, and the pain was much
reduced. And, Karl is right, you climb stairs every day, exercise more. The baby will be born faster,
and there will be less pain. Listen to him, he really cares about you," Joyce said, "Seeing you two,
so loving, I am also relieved."
"Hehe. Not bad. I thought he was a wooden block, but after spending time together, I didn''t expect
him to be quite understanding," Juanita''s face was full of happiness. Joyce looked at Juanita with
satisfaction, ever since leaving the Capital, she tried not to disturb their lives too much.
Love was always aboutpanionship, over time, habits became part of each other. Just like
Juanita and Karl now, finally bing an enviable couple. "Oh, enough about me. Let me tell you
about Nina," Juanita suddenly perked up.
"Nina, how is she?" Joyce, concerned, had not heard this name in a while, "And Chris? Is he still in
the Capital?" "Chris, he came a while ago, stayed for almost half a month, and then left. It''s said
that he wille back by the end of this month, because Nina is also about to give birth. Nina got
pregnant before me, her due date is the end of this month," Juanita stood up, sat at the table and
changed her posture, stretching her limbs.
"Oh, Nina is about to give birth. I''ve been so focused on myself, I forgot about this," Joyce''s face
showed a hint of apology, "Do they know if it''s a boy or a girl?" "A boy. Chris is overjoyed," Juanita
eximed, "Every time Nina goes for a check-up, I apany her, the baby is very healthy. Let me
tell you, her personality, she''s much more cheerful than before, with more smiles on her face.
Although Chris can''t be with her all the time, every time hees, oh, the two of them... It''s
unbearable, I can''t even look,"
"Hehe, Chris is domineering, Nina is too shy, when they show affection, it''s really unbearable to
watch," Joyce agreed. "Exactly, Chris bought a big vi near Nina''s school, every time hees, he
brings Nina back home, the two of them stay together all day, sometimes Nina can''t even answer
my calls," Juanita couldn''t help butin.
"I saw an advertisement for Nina''s violin concert online. Did you go?" Joyce asked. "That was a long
time ago, every show was sold out. I went to listen, it was really amazing. She''s definitely a genius.
After her belly got big, Chris didn''t let her perform, said standing for a long time was not good for the
baby. Nina listened obediently and didn''t hold another concert. But I heard she''s already preparing
for a solo concert three months after giving birth," Juanita said.

"Joyce, when are youing back to the Capital? All three of us will have children by then. Let''s
get together with the children." "Yes. Of course. But, I remember Chris saying he would take the
child back to Alvonia. Maybe Nina will fly to Alvonia from time to time to see the child. Maybe we
won''t be able to gather together," Joyce reminded.
"Oh, I forgot about that. It''s okay, we haven''t been together for a long time, I miss you so much,"
Juanita sighed. "I miss you too," Joyce reached out and pinched Juanita''s cheek through the
screen, "Don''t think too much. The most important task now is to have a safe childbirth. Then take
care of yourself. Listen to Karl, he''ll take good care of you."
"Okay," Juanita looked overwhelmed. Joyce smiled, Juanita really was tightly held by Karl. "Alright,
you just gave birth. You should rest well, but you''ve been chatting with me all this time. I won''t keep
you any longer, go and rest. When my godsons are discharged from the hospital, be sure to send
me pictures," Juanita waved her hand at Joyce, giving her final instructions.
"Don''t worry, I will. Take care of yourself, make sure to have everything ready for childbirth," Joyce
also reminded. "Goodbye," Juanita reluctantly ended the video call. Joyce ced her phone aside,
shey back, seeing that they were all doing well. Her mood rxed, dispelling the dark cloud that
Grayson had left behind. Oh well, worrying was all unnecessary.
No matter when Grayson reappeared, living in the present was most important.
