Chapter 12 What To Feed the Son
Jenny said with a tough tone, "Samuel, if you do not wish to be with E, I will bring her to our home as
soon as she wakes up. My daughter is the apple of my eyes. We raised her up with great attention. We
won''t let her endure any suffering!"
Vi heard the usation and was quite annoyed. Before Samuel could say anything, she stepped up
and stood in front of Samuel and replied, "What do you mean by all these words? What kind of
suffering E is enduring now? Who is giving her a hard time?" E must have been talking bullshit in
front of her parents.
Jenny looked at the way Vi acted, rude and sharp. She looked nothing like an elegant and charming
bank manager.
Samuel pulled Vi over and made her stand aside. He faced Jenny himself and replied, "Mom, I am
very sorry. Please don''t be mad anymore. I will make sure things like that will never happen again."
The sincere tone in Samuel''s voice made Jenny less angry. But when she thought of the fact that
during E''s pregnancy Samuel never showed up, she just couldn''t let things go.
Jenny was filled with anger and snapped, "Do you have any idea how hard it is for a woman to go
through her pregnancy?" "When E was in the apartment, you being her husband, were never there
for even one day. What were you thinking?" "If you are not pleased with my daughter, just say it. Why
on earth make her suffer?premature birth?"
On hearing her remarks, the Shao family were all quite embarrassed. It was true that they neglected
E back then.
Samuel lowered his head and epted the anger from Jenny. He did not say a word.
Richard walked over to them. Although he was quite angry himself, he did a good job of covering it up.
He said to Jenny with the intent to mediate the situation, "Enough, just knock it off!" "Both your
daughter and grandson are safe now, there is nothing to be mad about."
Jenny usually had a good temper but there was one thing she could not stand: her precious daughter
being bullied. She threw away Richard''s arm, making it very clear that she was not ready to let Samuel
off the hook.
"Mom ..." E''s voice was so gentle and weak from the ward bed. Her sound almost made Jenny cry..
Her precious daughter! She had never let her daughter suffer like this or get bullied like this!
Samuel walked over to the bed with Jenny. He looked at them, as Jenny held up E''s hand tightly.
Richard also walked over and gently looked at E: "My dear child, did we just wake you up?"
E shook her head. She overheard half of what they said, but she decided to pretend that she knew
nothing about it. She looked up and smiled: "Mom, Dad, when did you arrive? Have you seen your
grandchild?"
Jenny raised up her head and held back her tears. She looked at her daughter and shook her head: " I
was busying checking you out. I didn''t have time for him yet. Now I need to take a good look at the
baby."
Jenny let go of E''s hand and held up the sleeping baby. Richard walked over as well and lovingly
looked at Jerry. Jenny was amazed and said: "His cute little mouth looks just like E''s?when she was
a baby. And the nose, the resemnce is uncanny!"
Jenny''s words made Vi quite upset. To her, it was obvious that the baby took after her son.
Samuel curled up his lips with satisfaction. E was a beauty and it was a good thing that the baby
looked like her.
Melody was relieved as the two were no longer fighting. A while ago the conversation between them
got so intense that she could not say anything.
She understood well enough what kind of person her daughter-inw was. She had a sharp mouth and

was way too stubborn to give in. If it were not for her unyielding character, she would not have made
enemies at her job and could have been promoted from bank manager already.
She had warned Vi many times before, but she never listened.
Melody quietly pulled Samuel''s sleeve and winked at him.
Samuel looked back at his grandma in silence as he didn''t need to be told about what to do. Then, he
walked up to E''s bed and asked: "Are you thirsty?"
E looked at the caring man and smiled. She did not reject his offer and nodded softly.
As she just had her operation, E was not advised to drink water directly. So Samuel used a Q-tip and
dipped it in warm water to moisturize E''s chapped lips.
E smacked her lips in thirst. The chapped lips now looked better and moisturized.
Samuel paused as he could not help but think back to the night when he was enchanted by her smell...
E noticed the heat from Samuel''s gaze and tried to hide herself in the quilt as she was shy. Why was
Samuel gazing at her like that? It looked like... A wolf had spotted his game.
"Samuel..." She was about to call him dearest. But she realized that her parents were here and she
could not call him like that.
Samuel came to his senses and continued moisturizing E''s lips. However, before long his mind
wandered off again.
E looked at Samuel as he was apparently not focusing at the moment. She was confused and
thought, ''What is wrong with Samuel today?''
Eventually it was Jerry''s crying sound that pulled Samuel back to the reality.
Jenny patted the baby for a while but he just wouldn''t stop crying "He must be hungry!" Melody
reminded them.
This made Jenny aware of the situation and she quickly put the baby next to E. Richard took a
cigarette out of his pocket and walked out the ward with Vincent as they were chatting.
E looked at her crying son and was at loss for a while. She looked awkwardly at her mother and
grandma. ·
Melody briskly walked up and said, "Let the boy eat something."
This remark made E blush. Was she going to breast feed the baby? But Samuel was standing there
looking at her...
Melody looked at red-faced E impatiently and said, "Do you need grandma to teach you how to feed
the baby?" Shepletely ignored Samuel''s existence.
Jenny walked over as well. She knew that this was the first time for her daughter to be a mother. She
was sure she did not understand everything about motherhood.
"Now you need to feed the baby well. Even if you do not have milk yet, you still need to let him suckle.
Eventually the milk wille." She patiently imparted her experience to E. ·
E sure knew all this. But Samuel was still there. She was now quite embarrassed. Samuel was
As her mother and grandmother were both looking at her expectantly, E braced herself and lifted up
her clothes.
The baby immediately found his food and stopped crying. Jenny and Melody were quite relieved. ·
Samuel saw all these and his body froze. He almost forgot that was how babies eat.
He looked up at E''s red face and realized why she was so embarrassed.
Samuel felt awkward and coughed a little. He picked up his cigarette packet and walked towards the
ward door.
This time, Vi who was sitting on the sofa called out to him and said, "Samuel, now that you have a
child, you should cut down on the smoking. Especially when the baby is present, you should not smoke
at all!"
Samuel heard the remark and nodded. He thought to himself, ''I will pay more attention for the sake of
the child.''
E was quite relieved as Samuel walked out. It was indeed very awkward just now.
When the night fell, Samuel brought hisputer to the ward and looked after the mother and the
child. E was sleeping most of the time like her son as she was exhausted from thebor.
When it was about eight or nine o''clock in the evening, E woke up due to hunger. She opened her
eyes and saw the dim light. She realized that she was still in the hospital.
She lifted up her head with effort and saw her son soundly sleeping. Then she vaguely saw Samuel
who was working on hisputer on the sofa.
