Chapter 609 Intolerability
The next day, after saying goodbye to Lucia, Esmae took Helena back to the USA, and the building became quiet. Lucia was lighter, but she had a sweet burden. Even though the paramedics were taking care of the baby, Lucia still liked to be hands-on because that was what it felt like to be a mother.
Every day, Victor would take many pictures of her and the baby, and Lucia was used to it.
On the fifth day, Edwin and Sophie were taking Theodore back to the states, where he was being cared for by a team of professionals in New York. So, they had to go back for his recovery.
Before leaving, Theodore naturally had to see his mother and sister again. Edwin and Sophie were generous enough to bring him to visit. Spencer couldn't stop them but had to allow Ewan to let them in. They hadn't seen each other a few days. The baby's appearance had changed a lot. Although the truth hadn't been told, when Sophie saw the baby, she knew she must be Arthur's daughter.
Although the baby girl was only six days old, she was so beautiful that she can boast she was probably the most beautiful baby in the world. Her eyebrows resembled Lucia's, which were very delicate. A pair of big eyes was extremely attractive. Most importantly, there was also a faint purple circle around her pupils. She was dreamily like a little fairy, and her little lips were extremely pink. She will grow up to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
As a baby, she looked at the world with wide-open eyes. The newborn could only see about thirty centimeters. Lucia told Theodore to lie down in front of the baby so that she could see him. Pressing his face with the baby girl's, Theodore said to his sister,
"My little sister, you must remember my appearance. I go back to cure mu disease now. Wait a bit better. I'll come to see you right away."
The baby and Theodore were descended from the same family, and even though she knew she didn't understand what Theodore was saying, she let out a soft moan as if she agreed with him, much to Theodore's surprise.
"Mommy! My sister promised me!" Theodore said excitedly to Lucia.
"Hmm." Lucia gently kissed Theodore's forehead and smiled gently.
"Lucia, take good care of yourself. Don't let yourself be wronged. If you really can't, I will come back to protect you as long as you make a phone call." Seeing that Lucia was at peace, Sophie felt relieved. And she didn't forget to tell her discontinuous concern about her.
"Thank you, Sophie." Lucia thanked her from the bottom of her heart.
"You don't have to worry about Teddy. We'll take good care of him," Edwin said, staring straight at the baby on the bed, his lovely granddaughter...
She smiled and nodded. Seeing that Edwin was looking at the baby, she picked her up and walked over to him,
"Edwin, do you want to hold her?"
"Huh?" Edwin paused.
Sophie giggled, carefully taking the baby and posing for her husband to hold the cute little angel with her. She smiled and said,
"Edwin, take a good look. This is our granddaughter."
Hearing Sophie's words, Lucia's eyes moved but she didn't say a word.
Edwin looked at the baby in his arms. As they hurried away that night, he hadn't seen enough of the little cutie, so he held her hand and touched her cheek. Edwin's heart was melted by her cuteness.
The reunion was short, and they had to part. Although Theodore was reluctant to part, he still said goodbye to his mother. He kept kissing his sister's soft cheek over and over again, and finally, with tears in his eyes, he left with his grandparents.
At this moment, Lucia really seemed to be walking with them to return to Arthur's side. However, her remaining rationality told her that she could not let her efforts go to waste, so she could only endure and suffer.
Sophie and Edwin took Theodore back to the USA, but Lucia still had a delicious soup every day, morning, noon, and night. Constantly tasting the rich soup in her mouth, Lucia would occasionally get dazed and her eyes would slowly turn red. At this point, the baby's moaning would pull her out of her thoughts.
"Baby, Mommy's going to keep going, and you're going to grow up healthy."
Whenever this time, gently holding her daughter's hand, Lucia will be gentle and firm.
Lucia enjoyed a temporary peace of mind, but speculation about her had never stopped.
Lucia would have given birth long ago, but the reporters at the hospitals never heard anything. And Cloudwork and Webbex Group did not mention it. Some reporters were eager to find Spencer for interview, but Spencer only gave an nonchalant answer.
The curiosity about whether Lucia will give birth to a child, a daughter or a son, had become something of a topic of conversation.
Speculation continued to heat up, and Spencer grew increasingly agitated when he saw that the situation was so favorable to him but he could not take advantage of it.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Mr. Davies, the situation is in our favor. Now, if we announce that Lucia has given birth to a child, we can use the media to enhance our family's reputation and influence. We can't miss this opportunity." Ewan was anxious for Spencer.
"Do you think I don't want to?" Spencer scratched her hair in annoyance and said impatiently, "But that bitch Esmae only cares about Lucia. She doesn't want me to use the child at all. What do you want me to do now?"
"Mr. Davies.." Ewan didn't think so. He approached Spencer and said matter-of-factly,
"No matter how tough Esmae is, she can't control your behavior. It's such a happy event when there's a newborn baby. Keeping it a secret will only lead to rumors. If everyone guesses what you do to Lucia, wouldn't it be a huge loss of reputation for us? Therefore, we must make use of it when we can. We must not miss the opportunity. If you're afraid that Esmae will blame you, you might as well inform Lucia first. I believe that she won't be able to refuse."
Spencer's eyes lit up. He stood up and said, "That's right. Esmae won't let me do it, so I'm going to force Lucia to announce it, and then it won't be my fault."
Spencer will never be the one to lose!
Ewan nodded, and they rushed to the small building. It was dinnertime, and Lucia was eating in the dining room. The baby was being looked after upstairs by the paramedics, and Jack and other people were accompanied by her to eat together.
Arthur specifically told them that Lucia was weak after giving birth to the baby, so the four of them must be at her side at all times. Of course, Lucia did not know it.
