Serenity walked over and sat down. “I asked Duncan about it. He said Sonny’s grandparents brought him to eat fried chicken, fries, and chips when he was with them last Saturday. Eating too much of those makes the throat inflamed easily.”Before getting married, Serenity would eat some fried chicken occasionally. Her favorite was chicken wings. However, she would always drink lots of hot tea with honey and lemon afterward. Otherwise, she would get a sore throat within two days. That was why most people in Wiltspoon maintained a light diet; it could not be helped.“Is Camryn’s condition improving?”Serenity was concerned about Camryn. Camryn was nursing her body back to health. She had to do it so she could conceive and be a mother.Lilian lifted the cup of hot tea before her and took a few sips. She said, “It’s getting better. She can stop her medications at the end of this year and start trying for a baby six months after that.”By the time Camryn could get pregnant, she wou
“Caroline wants to leave Jensburg, so she wants to finish the handover as soon as possible. She’ll leave once my sister is more familiar with everything. Since Fisher Enterprise resumes operations earlier than most, Liberty had to go to Jensburg earlier.“She’s about to be the Fisher’s matriarch, so she has to communicate with the family’s elders and show concern for them. There are just too many things to handle.”Serenity caressed her bump. “I could’ve helped Liberty if I wasn’t pregnant. She’s on her own now.”Audrey was getting older. While she would go over to Jensburg to see how things were going from time to time, she thought it was best for Liberty, the incoming matriarch, to handle everything herself. It was a test and a chance to establish her influence.Since Duncan was still in recovery, he could not go over with Liberty. It was to prevent her from being distracted. Liberty was truly single-handedly doing everything.Lilian said, “Even if you aren’t pregnant, you can
Serenity had some child-care experience from raising Sonny.She liked children, especially those who were a few months old. She thought they were the cutest.Lilian said, “I can’t take it when Oliver keeps crying. Although I know all babies act that way, I still can’t take it. Being a mom isn’t easy. However, ever since I became a mom, I’ve had a deeper appreciation for my teacher. He never got married or became a dad before, but he learned how to raise a child because he found me.“He raised and nurtured me into a capable person. He taught me everything he knew about medicine. Although he isn’t my biological dad, he feels like one. I’m greatly indebted to him. I’ve decided that I’d be utterly filial to him in the future.“Now, he’s even helping me to take care of my baby and student. Laurence is mostly taught by Doc. Doc said my student is also his student.”Lilian would teach Laurence whenever she had free time.Usually, Laurence lived with Doc and the other masters. They were
Sonny waited for Serenity to lift him. He was especially clingy because he was sick. “I want to have oatmeal porridge, Aunt Ser.”Sonny had already lost his appetite when he was at preschool earlier. Now that his fever was gone, he felt hungry but only wanted oatmeal porridge.Serenity lifted him and touched his forehead. His temperature seemed to have returned to normal. She brought him downstairs and measured his temperature with a thermometer.After asking the kitchen to prepare the order for Sonny, she said, “I didn’t get the kitchen to prepare oatmeal porridge beforehand, so you’ll have to wait.”Sonny was all snuggled up in her embrace. He said softly, “But I’m hungry, Aunt Ser. Can I have some snacks?”Serenity looked toward Lilian. She asked, “Can Sonny have snacks after having a fever, Dr. Carden?”“Not too much. He might not have the appetite to have a proper meal later,” said Lilian.Therefore, Serenity brought a small piece of snack for Sonny.“I want you to fee
“Why is our weather here not suitable, Aunt Ser?”“We have particularly long summers, where the weather is hot. Even if it’s winter, the temperature doesn’t go very low. It’s better to avoid eating fried food in such weather.”Most people from other countries thought Wiltspoonians did not eat greasy food. However, it was not because they disliked it, but because they could not take it.Sonny was still a little confused, but Serenity never explained further. He was still young. Even if she were to give a proper explanation, he would not understand her. “Has Sonny’s fever subsided, Serenity?”Duncan was walking up the stairs with the help of his bodyguards. He spoke as soon as he arrived at the door. Serenity put Sonny down. “Dunc.”Sonny immediately ran toward Duncan. Duncan lifted him as his bodyguards brought his wheelchair over. He sat on the wheelchair and patted Sonny’s head. After a moment, he muttered to himself, “I think there’s still a low fever.”Serenity walked
Lilian thought of her teacher and smiled. “The elderly are like that. My teacher does this too. If he didn’t see baby Oliver for three days, he’d say that Oliver got thinner and that we didn’t take good care of Oliver. He even suspected that I wasn’t feeding Oliver.“That’s the baby I gave birth to after months of pregnancy. Although Oliver is a crybaby and pretty annoying, my love for him isn’t less than my teacher’s. How could I have abused my own son?“The elderly love exaggerating things. They’re closer to their grandchildren. My teacher was very strict with me. If I didn’t complete the homework he assigned, he wouldn’t even let me eat. I didn’t see him worry about me getting thinner from hunger back then.”Serenity laughed as well. “You’re right. Our parents are usually closer to our children. Jane said her family used to adore her the most whenever she visited them. However, after she had children, her mom wouldn’t be as welcoming if she didn’t bring her children along for vis
Zachary held Serenity’s hand. “Let’s go. I’ll go with you to your prenatal checkup first.”He would not be going to the company in the morning because of that. When they turned to leave, they met Carrie. She was holding a little girl’s hand, talking to the girl as she walked. However, the little girl did not seem bothered to listen to Carrie. “Mr. and Mrs. York, you must be here to drop Sonny off.”When Carrie saw Zachary and Serenity, Carrie stopped and greeted them with a smile. Her gaze landed on Zachary, then Serenity. Serenity was twenty-eight weeks pregnant. Jasmine was a month ahead of her and already at thirty-two weeks. Josh did not really want Jasmine to go to the bookstore anymore, but Jasmine refused to stay home because she was too bored. Jasmine said she would look after the bookstore for another month before staying home to prepare for labor and delivery. Josh had no choice but to follow her wishes. The Bucham family’s bodyguards were following her all th
If they could do more, oppressing the Longbottoms’ family businesses in Havenmill would help Laurence greatly.However, Zachary had told Serenity that even though Laurence’s enemy had taken over the family business after killing Laurence’s family, the man was unable to make it his own or mobilize the elites of the Longbottom family. That was because Mr. Longbottom did not have the family totem and seal, as well as the family head’s token. Those items were with Doc. Jane had given them to Doc, hoping he would keep them safe for Laurence. The legendary masters were pioneers of the Imperial Force. Since they were inactive, not many people remembered them, much less their hideout. Therefore, leaving the items in Doc’s care was safer than putting them in FC Manor. Meanwhile, the Longbottom family’s totem was carved on Laurence’s back.When Serenity saw it, she thought the totem was not only a representation of his identity, but also carried secrets of the Longbottom family. However,
