Chapter 1188


    Actually, everyone had long known that the baby was a girl.


    However, hearing the doctor announcing it personally, they still couldn''t confine the joy deep down.


    Especially for Master Collins, he had spent most of his life alone. His heart was filled with great joy now that he had a great-granddaughter. Therefore, when he heard the doctor''s good news, Master Collins pped a few times.


    "Great!"


    Abigail, who was beside Master Collins, gave her father a re when she saw him acting in such a manner. She whispered, "Are you insane?" Master Collins was once again scolded for no reason, and he rubbed his nose and thought if he did anything wrong again. He was only happy because Minerva gave birth. Couldn''t he praise her for a bit? Abigail sure was strict!


    But at that moment, his joy was greater than anything else. Master Collins quickly forgot about Abigail rebuking him.


    The baby''s cry came from thebor room; it was


    loud and clear.


    Abigail pursed her lips, "Looks like this little girl gave Minerva quite a hard time."


    Hearing this, the doctor chuckled and went along with her, "She sure did. The child has big eyes, and she looks very energetic and healthy. You all can rest assured."


    In thebor room, a child was born, but Minerva was near to copse, and she had no strength at all to even open her eyes as sheid there. She thought of something, and a helpless smile appeared between her pale lips.


    When the baby was just born, she was too tired to even speak. The doctor held the baby to her front for her to carry. Unfortunately, she had no strength at all; she didn''t even have the strength to open her eyes.


    So the doctor brought the baby to Maddox. Who would''ve thought that Maddox twitched his nose and said softly, "I want to have a look at my wife first."


    The doctor was totally speechless.


    What was with that man? The baby was his daughter, after all. Why did he show such an obvious dislike for her? However, Maddox didn''t care what others thought. He held Minerva''s hand tightly, bent down, and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead gently. Then he lowered his head and kissed her forehead tenderly.


    "Thank you, Honey."


    While Minerva was feeling tired, she felt a touch of warmth on her forehead. Then, Maddox''s gentle voice drifted into her ears.


    Although she was tired, at that moment, she felt that everything was worth it.


    Thinking back to what had just happened, Minerva couldn''t help smiling deep down.


    Even though she knew that the baby was Maddox''s and her child, the fact that Maddox ced her first pleased her.


    As for Maddox, he only went to hold his daughter after he hadforted his wife.


    What regrets could Minerva have when she already had a husband like that? She felt as if all the bitterness she had suffered in the past had finallye to an end.


    Soon, Minerva was transferred from thebor room to a normal ward. After the doctor handled everything for the baby, he handed her over to Minerva as sheid beside her.


    The baby was there, tiny and fair, lying obediently, with both pinkish hands in fists, and she was sleeping with her eyes shut.


    A group of people gathered around the hospital bed, all staring at the baby.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    Maddox was the only one who stayed on the other side of the bed, holding Minerva''s hand tightly.


    Master Collins was the happiest of


    all. He stared at


    at his great-


    granddaughter. He adored her no


    matter how he looked at her, and he couldn''t help but poke her little pink fist. The old man''s fingers were à little rough, while the baby''s skin was extremely tender. He didn''t dare touch her for a second time, afraid that he would break his


    great-granddaughter. Content

    He suddenly thought of something and looked at Beanie, who was beside him, solemnly.


    "Beanie, do you still remember the things I gave you?"


    Beanie was lying on the bed, looking at his baby sister. When he heard Master Collins''s words, a strange look appeared in his eyes, "Great-grandpa, what''s the matter?"


    "You''ll have to give half of them to your little sister!"


    Beanie was at a loss for words.


    Master Collins said, "Look at how cute your sister is. You''ll have to take good care of her in the future, do you understand?"


    Minerva didn''t know whether tough or cry when she heard his words. Beanie could already think on his own at his age. Moreover, he was


    especially smart. Now that Master Collins suddenly told him those things, as a mother, she still had to give some advice.


    "Grandpa, you should keep those things for yourself. Beanie is still too young. He has no authority to decide that."


    "How could it be?" Master Collins


    said unhappily, "Since I gave them to


    him, he has full authority to make the decision. There was only Beanie in the past, so it was all his. Now that he has a younger sister, as an older brother, he has to dote on his younger sister."


    ras


    Minerva nced at Beanie. She was somewhat worried that he would feel otherwise, as Master Collins''s words were simply too obvious.


    It was as if he was trying to tell Beanie that if he didn''t have a sister, everything, including everyone''s love, would be his and only his. But now that he had a sister, he would have to give half of everything to her.


    Although she had already reassured Beanie beforehand, and Beanie did not reject the idea of having a younger sister at all, it did not mean that they could bring it up that way.


    Beanie probably knew what his mommy was thinking, so he spoke in time.


    "Great-grandpa, don''t worry. I''m an older brother; I''ll surely love my sister. I''m more than happy to give everything to her, let alone half of them." After that, Beanie reached out his hand to hold his sister''s little fist.


    Beanie''s hand was not big, but it was much biggerpared to a newborn. It wrapped around the baby''s fist nicely, yet revealed a small patch of pink, and the scene looked harmonious.


    When Master Collins heard those words, he was equally gratified.


    Abigail, who was at the side, had the urge to hit Master Collins''s head. If it weren''t for the fact that he was her father, she might have really given him a hard blow.


    All of a sudden, Master Collins asked again.


    "By the way, have you guys thought of a name for her?"


    Minerva paused and nced at Maddox. Maddox''s gaze was gentle as he said, "You can make the decision."


    Minerva then thought for a moment and said honestly, "Grandpa, we''ve already thought of her nickname, but we haven''t decided on her full name yet. Grandpa, since you''re knowledgeable, why don''t you think of a name for her?"


    Her words made Master Collins


    particrly pleased. He stroked his beard as he put on an unfathomable expression, "Since you asked me have to agree to it. However, names are important. I have to go back and think about it carefully. Tell me what the little girl''s nickname is first."


    "Jelly Bean."


    Jelly Bean corresponded well with her brother''s name, Beanie. The two names suited the siblings nicely.


    When he heard of that nickname, Master Collins still had some disdain for it, but upon thinking about it, he showed some understanding. Although he


    disliked it, he still nodded his head.


    "It''s not bad. It suits her very well!"
