Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1602 The C-Section (Part Three)

"Oh, He said that he would come back soon and he asked me to take care of you for the moment.

Don't worry. He would be here soon." Leena sat beside her and beamed, delight written across her

face.

"Where is the baby?" Patricia still couldn't move because she had undergone the C-section. Unlike

other moms who went through natural labor, she couldn't hold her baby freely and kiss him all over or

even feed him immediately after her baby was born.

"Tom said the baby is now receiving the blue light treatment. He would be sent back to you 24 hours

later. Don't worry," Leena explained in a gentle voice and tried to reassure her that everything was fine.

"Blue light? What's that?" Since her husband Tom was a doctor, she cared little about medical things

because even if the sky fell, Tom was there to solve everything for her.

"It is said that blue light is a kind of therapy to cure Neonatal Jaundice. But I don't know much about it."

Leena only heard the doctor mention this kind of condition when she went to do the prenatal check

before. Although Tom also mentioned it just a while ago, he didn't really explain what it was. It was

beyond Leena's knowledge to explain such medical terms to Patricia.

"Okay. As long as Tom didn't say anything bad, then the baby is okay. Leena, thank you!" Patricia said

in a faint voice. Leena was dumbfounded to hear her friend suddenly say thanks to her.

"Patricia, why did you say thanks to me? We are friends!" She said a little anxiously. She was a little

disappointed to see Patricia be so polite to her.

"I just want to apologize for what happened before. You seems to have misunderstood me." Patricia

finally spoke and mustered up the courage to show her regret. She didn't want their friendship to be

broken.

"Patricia, it's a happy day today. Let's just celebrate the arrival of the new baby. Anything else doesn't

really matter," Leena said in an attempt to hurriedly shift the topic. She didn't want any unpleasant thing

to spoil her good mood today.

"No, Leena. I must clear this up with you today. In fact, I don't really mind your relationship with Tom. I

was only being a little jealous. It is not like what you are thinking, that I don't like you two to be close."

She recently had a hard time because she felt that Leena was lukewarm towards her. They had been

friends for years and she really didn't want them to split up because of this, so she had decided to

confront the nagging issue now.

"Patricia, truthfully it's normal for you to have such thoughts, because if I were you, I probably won't be

as generous as you are now. So I think if we can consider things from the other person's perspective,

we can understand better what is on each other's mind." Leena smiled lightly. She really didn't want to

have such a disagreeable conversation with her, as Patricia just woke up from a surgery. However,

since Patricia was firm to talk it through, Leena had no choice but to show her stand.

"Leena, don't you think that we have become estranged recently?" Patricia said as her eyes reflected

the discontent in them. She was incredulous of her friend's reply as she somewhat felt that it wasn't

really what Leena thought about this matter.

"Patricia, you've thought about it too much. I just changed a little bit in the way to get along with you,

but I still feel the same towards you. Nothing in our friendship has ever changed." It was difficult for her

to explain and even more difficult to convince Patricia with her explanation. And Leena had never

thought herself as an eloquent speaker. Sometimes, she just felt that it was hard to find the right words

and string them together to express what she really wanted to say.

"Really? It's not a lie?" Patricia looked at her incredibly. She had a subconscious feeling that Leena

only said this to make her happy.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Okay, Patricia, I know what you want to say. I admit that at the beginning I really felt hurt, but soon I

came around. So please believe me. I'm fine now." To be honest, Leena really didn't mind that much

now. She had already forgotten the hurtful feelings with the passing of time.

The moment Patricia saw her son, she suddenly felt that all the hardships she had gone through were

worth it. Especially when the baby boy opened his eyes and looked at her, she felt her heart melt and

her worries go away.

"Tom, whom does he take after? Why do I think he doesn't quite take after us?" Looking at the baby

whose skin was wrinkled and saggy, Patricia wondered, 'Is this my son?'

"He is still very small and we can't really tell clearly whom he looks after. Maybe we can see better after

a few days when he grows up a little bit." Babies usually grew very fast. Although his skin was still

wrinkled, he would look positively better after a few days. As the baby put on weight, the skin would

expand to gain the normal texture. Every baby had to go through this process.

"He's so cute. Don't you think so?" It was their own baby and they couldn't see enough of him. They

also firmly held the belief that their baby was the prettiest in the world.

"Yes! Thank you, darling. Thank you for making my life perfect, with a beautiful wife and a cute boy."

Tom bent down and wrapped Patricia and the baby in his arms. From now on, he was not only a

husband, but also a father, an important mission that was bestowed on him from the moment the baby

was born.

"I also want to say thanks to you. Thank you for all this. I'm happy with everything you have done for

us." Patricia was truly and extremely happy in this moment. Although she still felt a slight stab of pain

on the spot of the incision, it was nothing compared to the overwhelming happiness her baby brought

to them.

What was home? Was it a lamp, a cup of tea, a table full of dishes, or warmness that filled the house?

No matter what, they would cherish each other, help each other, and create a happy life together.

"Will you still make chicken soup for Patricia today?" A still sleepy voice resonated within the walls of

the bedroom. The early morning rays of the sun flitted through the heavy curtains. Kevin woke up early

every day and it had been several consecutive days already for Leena to get up right after Kevin

finished dressing himself. It was still cold in the early morning and Kevin couldn't help but feel

concerned with Leena and her rigorous routines.

"Yes. Patricia's mother won't be back until the day after tomorrow, and I won't be rest assured if anyone

else handled the work. Besides, Patricia likes my soup best." Although it was a tiring work to get up

early every day and buy all the ingredients to make the soup, Leena somewhat felt that it was worth it,

because in this way, she could see the adorable little baby every day.

"But didn't you just hate going to the farmer's market before?" Kevin still remembered that Leena

couldn't stand the bad smell from the poultry in the farmer's market.

"But only the chickens from the farmer's market are the freshest, and the soup made by the fresh

chicken would be the most delicious." Leena said as she got up and walked towards him. She stood on

her tiptoes to help him fix his tie. Leena finally had the chance to do that for Kevin thanks to Patricia, for

he usually had already left for work when Leena just woke up.

"How about this? I will go to the market to buy the chicken for you now. I'm very worried about your

health and safety. You know, you are now pregnant with our baby," Kevin said as he briefly checked his

watch. He only had to drive faster later on his way to work to avoid being late.

"Nope. I don't have any problem in walking and moving around. I can still buy the grocery now. You'd

better go directly to the army base. I can do it myself," She said gently as she patted the knot of his tie

and smiled at him. She knew he was worried about her and it was really sweet and nice of him, but she

was the mother of the baby inside her. She would certainly be very cautious with everything she was

doing.
