Jane consoled Serenity, “You don’t have to worry too much, Seren. I believe Ms. Newman’s eyes can be treated as long as Lilian’s willing to help. She’s the disciple of the miracle healer. She might even outperform him.”Serenity said, “Mm, we all trust Dr. Carden.”Dr. Carden also promised Callum that she would fly to Wiltspoon to treat Camryn’s eyes once she resumed visiting patients. “How are Remy and Elisa doing? He doesn’t tell us much about himself, even when we ask him about it. My in-laws hope he and Elisa can be together soon.”Jane changed the topic and asked about her brother-in-law’s love life. “My in-laws wanted to go to Wiltspoon several times, but Remy didn’t allow it. He said it wasn’t time to meet each other’s parents yet. He also hasn’t gotten Mrs. Stone’s recognition. Therefore, we have no choice but to wait anxiously as there’s nothing we can help with.”Upon the mention of Remy and Elisa, Serenity looked frustrated too. She said, “Remy and Elisa’s relationsh
“There’s a famous saying that if women want to live a good life after marriage, they should be capable people or have a strong family behind them. “I only have one daughter now too. If Clo-clo were to move to a distant place after marriage, I definitely wouldn’t be able to bear it, let alone Ben. His daughter is like a rare gem to him. He loves her so much that he’s already guarding her against Laurence and Mr. Ormond’s son.”Serenity could not help but laugh. “Laurence is only three years old. What does he know? Iris’s son is the same age as your two children and only knows how to eat and sleep.”“Ben still protects Clo-clo regardless. He said that he finally has a daughter and would pay extra attention to her. If anyone’s son is suspected of showing interest in his daughter, he’ll nip those feelings in the bud. He won’t let them have those thoughts.”Ben was most wary of their adopted son, Laurence. Laurence was very clever. Even the legendary doctor said he had great potentia
“I’m quite interested in Mr. and Mrs. Lafayette’s story.”Serenity whispered, “Zachary would sometimes tell me a small part of it. Although he didn’t go into the details, it always made me curious.”Jane smiled and said, “I’m only familiar with the latter part of my parents’ story. I’m not clear about their past. Whenever I asked my dad about it, he wouldn’t say anything. My mom would smile and say she didn’t want to talk about it as it was a thing of the past.“No matter what happened to them in the past, it’s great that they have a good relationship now.”Jane knew her mother was unwilling to recall past events as her period of disappearance had been her mother’s most painful days. Her mother had gone crazy for over twenty years because of that. Although her biological father seemed cold, he had been holding himself back. Anyway, her mother suffered a lot, and her father was not doing well either. However, all the hardships had ended. The Lafayette family had a bright fut
It all happened in a blink of an eye. Mrs. Lafayette had Chloe in her arms already. Jane’s adoptive mother, Fiona, carried Connor. The Johnson family’s elders did not even have the chance to move. Jane whispered into Serenity’s ear, “See? I’ve already fallen out of favor. There’s a saying that grandparents are closer to their grandchildren than their children. My parents only love the two babies now. If I didn’t bring them back whenever I visited my family, my mom would ask me why I bothered returning.”Serenity understood that feeling. The same would happen if she did not bring Sonny back to Wildridge Manor. Her in-laws would be unhappy. Zachary, who was being entertained by Ben and the other men, could not resist staring at the baby girl when Mrs. Lafayette returned to the sofas with the baby. Laurent said, “You can stop looking, Mr. York. You won’t have the chance to carry my niece. Even I, her uncle, rarely get to hold her.”However, Suzy had been able to snatch a f
After a moment of silence, Zachary said, “I’m not in a rush, but Seren is. She’s been immersing herself in work to avoid thinking about having children.”He knew everything.He felt sorry for her. Sometimes, Zachary also blamed himself for pulling Serenity into a stressful environment, which made her feel pressured. He and his family never urged her to get pregnant soon. However, Serenity was his wife. As the York family’s missus, the pressure would come naturally to her and swallow her whole. Ben patted Zachary’s shoulder. “You can wait until the genius doctor’s here if you want to, and let him conduct a checkup on you and your wife.”Zachary did not say a word. He firmly believed that he and Serenity did not have issues.He also feared that having the doctor examine them would indirectly stress Serenity out more.She had been drowsy lately because of the tremendous pressure she felt. It affected her sleep, which made her feel tired.“If not, you can hold it off. If
Serenity was stunned. She said, “It can’t be. I think… Jane, I think I haven’t gotten my period this month.”Was she really pregnant?“My periods have been irregular recently. It was late sometimes, so I didn’t pay much attention. However, it usually comes a few days later.”“You’re definitely pregnant.”Jane smiled. “Some people do get morning sickness after just getting pregnant.“Congratulations, Seren!”Serenity grinned too. “I don’t know whether I’m pregnant or I’ve eaten something bad yet, Jane. Don’t congratulate me just yet. It might be a false alarm.”“From my experience and instinct, you must be pregnant. Lilian’s a doctor. We’ll find out once she checks on you.”After speaking, Jane pulled Serenity out. She requested a maid to look for Lilian too. Next, Jane forced Serenity to sit on the sofa. Everyone was concerned about what had happened to Serenity. Jane said with a smile, “Seren may be pregnant. Her period hasn’t arrived, but she never thought of this pos
Serenity said, “It’s not confirmed yet. I vomited because I felt nauseous after smelling milk on Clo-clo when I carried her. “Jane and the rest said I’m most probably experiencing morning sickness.“We’re waiting for Dr. Carden to come over and examine me. However, you came before she arrived. Don’t worry. I’m fine.”Although it was not confirmed that they were pregnant, Zachary could not contain his smile anymore. He held Serenity’s hand and grinned. He said, “They’ve been through the same process and are experienced. If they say you’re pregnant, then you are.“Where’s Dr. Carden? Is she here?” Zachary stood up and asked. He was desperate to lift Dr. Carden over immediately. Oh, that would be inappropriate. He would have to invite her over as if he were inviting a VIP. He could not offend Dr. Carden. Jane said, “You’re too fast, Mr. York. Lilian couldn’t keep up with you.”Iris teased, “Mr. York must’ve sped up the stairs once he heard Seren had vomited. Dr. Carden mig
Zachary said anxiously, “Please let Dr. Carden examine Seren now, Mrs. Young-Johnson. I’m dying to find out.”The women were still in the mood to have a pleasant chat. They were clueless about how anxious he was. Jane smiled at Lilian and said, “Lilian, please conduct a checkup on Seren now and see whether she’s pregnant. She was vomiting severely just now. I think it’s morning sickness.”Serenity’s face was red. Her husband’s panicked expression made her blush from embarrassment. The people present in the children’s room were young wives with noble identities. Everyone stayed silent when Lilian took Serenity’s pulse. Zachary was a nervous wreck. Serenity was smiling, but she was nervous too. She would be sad if they got excited over nothing. Lilian told Zachary and Serenity a moment later with a smile, “You’re pregnant. If you think my pulse-taking is inaccurate, you can confirm it at a hospital.”Upon hearing that, Serenity nodded continuously while grinning. She s
