To the Love of My Life

Chapter 709: Chapter 709: Chaotic Baby-Making (29)
 

About half a month later, aside from the occasional faint pain in her abdomen, she didn’t experience any other discomforts.

Although Steve Burton was not in the hospital 24/7, he was definitely there whenever Lady Gregory was absent.

Before she knew it, Ruby Gregory had already spent half a month in the hospital, but she never once ran into Edric Reat.

She didn’t know whether it was because she constantly thought about why Edric hadn’t visited the hospital, or what had happened between him and Ruby, but finally, on the 16th day of Ruby’s hospital stay, Edric appeared at the hospital.

It was an afternoon, and Lady Gregory, who had arrived early in the morning to visit her daughter and three grandchildren, had just left. Steve Burton appeared in the ward soon after her departure.

It was the hottest time of the summer, and the sun outside the window was so bright that it was dazzling. Ruby, who had just finished drinking the nutritious soup brought by Lady Gregory, didn’t feel the slightest drowsiness, so she suggested going to the nursery to see The Triplets.

The half-month-old triplets had pink, tender skin and looked much cuter than when they were first born.

When Steve and Ruby entered the nursery, First-born Chise was sleeping with her eyes closed, Second-born Candice was drinking milk from a bottle under the special care of a nurse, and Third-born was looking at them with wide, shiny black eyes. Upon their arrival, she broke into a smile.

Ruby approached and reached out to touch Third-born’s little face. The next second, the previously sleeping Chise suddenly burst into tears.

Ruby hurriedly went to Chise’s side. Although she hadn’t yet started actually taking care of The Triplets, she knew that newborn babies’ main task was to sleep. If they cried, it meant their diaper was wet or they were hungry. So Ruby reached out to feel Chise’s diaper, which was indeed bulging.

Ruby hadn’t changed The Triplets’ diapers since they were born, so she asked the special care nurse for a diaper and prepared to change Chise’s.

Ruby had learned how to change diapers during her Mom’s Training Class. Although she had practiced on a fake baby doll at the time, she was able to successfully change Chise’s diaper under the nurse’s guidance.

Ruby then looked at Steve with a sense of accomplishment and asked, “How was that?”

It was just changing a diaper, what was the big deal… Although Steve thought this way, he still nodded and praised her according to Ruby’s wishes, “Impressive.”

As soon as Steve finished speaking, a nurse walked into the nursery room, “Ms. Gregory, someone is here to see you at the hospital.”

Steve was the first to turn his head. He saw Edric standing behind the nurse, and his lips tightened slightly as he thought to himself, the babies’ real biological father has finally appeared. Does this mean it’s time for him to leave the stage?

Ruby calmly adjusted Chise’s diaper before raising her head. She first glanced at Edric standing at the door and then looked at Steve. “You stay here with The Triplets for a while; I’ll be back soon,” she said.

Steve was momentarily stunned; he swallowed back the words he was about to say, bidding farewell, and nodded gently to Ruby.

Only then did Ruby brush past Steve and walk toward the door of the nursery room.
