Timothy almost burst into tears when he saw that Chelsey was unharmed."It has been hard on you, Chels," he said. Chelsey knew Timothy cared more about her than she did herself.Despite the pain, she still flashed a smile to reassure him. "Tim, I'm okay. Look at me—perfectly fine. I didn't even lose a single strand of hair."Although Timothy did not witness Chelsey giving birth, he could still imagine the pain and struggle she went through. While she was in labour, he stayed home with his parents. His grandmother's sudden death disrupted his plans.Timothy did not even have time to visit Chelsey. He walked toward the incubator and grew excited upon seeing the baby. With his gaze fixed on the child, Timothy commented, "He's so tiny and cute. He looks a lot like you." Chelsey sat on the bed and turned her head to look at Timothy and her baby.The doctor said that although the baby was slightly underweight, all his organs had developed well.They could be discharged as l
Timothy had a strong desire to tell Lucas that it wasn't because of his family's disapproval that he did not marry Chelsey.Instead, it was because Chelsey did not want to marry him. Chelsey only saw Timothy as her childhood friend and senior. She was not in love with him. So, Timothy could only care for and look after her as her senior. He looked up and slowly said, "You don't need to worry about us.""You can trust that I'll take good care of Chelsey and the baby," Lucas responded. He had already made up his mind. Lucas still had a chance as long as Chelsey did not marry Timothy.He was willing to spend a year waiting.He would extend his wait to two or three more years if there were no progress after that. Lucas would continue pursuing Chelsey for ten years even if nothing happened in three years. After all, Chelsey had loved him for ten years. Lucas had decided to adore her even more to make up for those ten years of regret. Timothy, on the other hand, knew that
Dianne had a traditional way of seeing the world. She'd been thinking about this for the past few days. Although the Jenson family had no problem caring for Chelsey and her baby, people would still look down on the baby when they learned he didn't have a father. "Chels, I think Lucas has repented for his mistakes," said Dianne. "If you two marry again, your baby will be raised in a complete family. Just give it some thought, alright?"Chelsey recalled the time Lucas hugged her tightly to protect her from the truck that was headed her way and felt her heart shatter at the thought. She didn't want to discuss it anymore, so she changed the topic. "Grandma, have you and Grandpa gotten used to living in the hills?" "Yes. Your grandfather and I went for a walk in the morning. We'd have lunch and head to the church to pray in the evening. I feel so calm nowadays," Dianne said. "You can bring your baby and stay here temporarily when he's older. I'm sure you'll like this place."
Lucas started helping Chelsey to clear the blockage. Out of embarrassment, she covered her face with a hand. She couldn't make herself to look at him. Clara went to wet a towel with warm water and handed it to Chelsey to cover her breasts with it. Later, Clara even gave Lucas advice on how he should do it. "What are your hands for?" she asked. "Yes. You do it just like that. Harder. Do it the way you usually do it. I'm leaving now so that you two would stop being shy." The tips of Lucas' ears were red already. He had no experience in something like this, but he couldn't ask Timothy to do it. So, he had to bear with it and finish the job. "You two have a baby already," Clara mumbled as she opened the door to leave. "What's there to be shy of?" Lucas seemed to be a whole lot more relaxed after Clara left. He and Chelsey seemed to cooperate better now. He could taste a hint of saltiness. He'd always assumed that breast milk was sweet. He never expected it to have a tin
Timothy left at 10:00 pm. Lucas was secretly overjoyed when Timothy left. No matter what, he thought that Timothy didn't deserve Chelsey. After all, she'd just give birth to Timothy's child. How could Timothy not stay and keep her company? Moreover, Timothy's family hadn't visited her. They didn't even think of sparing the baby a glance. It was as clear as day that his family didn't want to accept her and the baby. Lucas looked at the baby, who was fast asleep in the crib and thought to himself, "Daddy's here. Daddy will protect you and Mommy!" After feeding the baby and changing his diapers, it appeared that Lucas had taken on the role of a father.The baby was so small that Lucas had to be slow and extremely gentle when he changed the baby's diapers for fear he hurt the baby. Chelsey watched as Lucas took great care of the baby. She couldn't find it in her to ask Lucas to leave. She decided she'd let him look after his baby for a while longer. Once they leave the hos
"You've got poop on your hands," Chelsey reminded Lucas when she saw his hands smudged with the baby's feces."It's fine," said Lucas. "It's not that foul-smelling." His face practically lit up with satisfaction when he said that, which rendered Chelsey speechless. She stared at Lucas, not knowing what to say. She wondered if he had perhaps learned that the baby was his.However, Lucas' following words cleared her doubts. "The next time Timothy visits, we should make him change the baby's diapers," said Lucas. "We can't let him off the hook so easily." It seemed that Lucas still thought that Timothy was the baby's father. Chelsey laughed briefly at that realisation. It wouldn't be wise to call him an idiot since Yates Group was one of the world's top 100 most affluent companies. Still, it wasn't right to call him smart either since he couldn't recognise his flesh and blood. Everyone knew that he was the baby's father. Everyone but him. Chelsey watched as Lucas grabb
Lucas acted like he didn't hear what Clara said. He sat on the couch and stared at his phone. However, his ears gave him away because they were as red as they could be from blushing. He'd spent every ounce of strength in his body to restrain himself when he helped Chelsey with the blockage in her breasts yesterday. He kept on telling himself that he shouldn't harbor any inappropriate thoughts toward a woman who'd just given birth. Still, he couldn't prevent his thoughts from straying. Chelsey texted Sandra to check in on her. Sandra was busy with work overseas, and Chelsey didn't want to disturb her. That was why Chelsey didn't tell Sandra that she'd given birth. Meanwhile, Sandra counted the days when she would finally finish all her work and return to Westine to be present when Chelsey gave birth. The two of them chatted online for a long time. When Clara entered the ward, she reminded Chelsey not to be on her phone too long because it would harm her eyes. After all, Chel
The baby was almost 11 pounds already. The doctor said he was developing so well that he'd gain weight and reach 11 pounds in just a few days. When Chelsey reached home, Dianne and Edward had only just arrived too. When they noticed how flat Chelsey's tummy had become, Dianne was so shocked that she immediately asked, "Chels, what happened to your baby?"To calm her down, Chelsey quickly explained, "Don't worry, Grandma. I gave birth to him a few days ago. I was just discharged from the hospital. The baby's in the incubator in the hospital. He'll be back in a few days."She continued, "I'm sorry for not informing you and Grandpa. I was afraid that you'd worry about me. My baby and I are fine, so please don't worry!" Tears streaked Dianne's cheeks as she ranted, "How could you not tell us sooner? How could you hide this from us? Don't do this again! You have to tell us right away no matter what happens!" "Okay, Grandma," said Chelsey, patting Dianne's back to calm her down.
