Female Novel
Chapter 2007
“Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence! I’m not a competent father, and I’ve caused irreparable harm toRosalie. You both are truly her second parents. In the future, I’ll have to trouble you to…”
After that last visit, Gordon’s last words burned in Benedict’s and Melody’s minds.
Melody felt deeply conflicted inside.
She dared not acknowledge herself as Rosalie’s second parent, like how Gordon claimed her to be.She had wronged Rosalie in so many ways before. She was just spending this time to atone for hermistakes.
Fortunately, she still had a chance; unlike Gordon, who only realized it when he was dying.
Next, the three little kids paid a visit to their grandpa.
Of course, the adults did not tell the kids about his actual illness but only said that he was sick. In theeyes of the kids, he must be having a terrible cold.
Hence, the three little kids gave their grandpa some encouragement. They asked him to rest well anddrink plenty of water, and that he would be fine soon.novelbin
Gordon burst into tears. His eyes were full of remorse and deep nostalgia.
In the end, however, he was content.
That night, Byron and Rosalie found a professional nursing vehicle and transferred Gordon to theJacobs’ old residence.
The old house was Rosalie’s wedding gift from Mary. However, Rosalie had always been too afraid togo back. She thought her old home might remind her of her mother.
When Rosalie walked into her childhood home again after so many years, countless memories surgedin her mind.
The surrounding area had always been clean as Rosalie had hired cleaners.
After Gordon was assisted into the old house, his expression suddenly became much more stable.
“Byron, Rosalie, thank you! It’s a blessing for me to die in this house.”
“Father-in-law, you can stay here. I’ll arrange for two servants to take care of your food and dailyneeds. You must take your medicine on time. Rosalie and I will still come to see you.”
Byron changed his words abruptly, causing Gordon to be astonished.
Rosalie also nodded and hurriedly left the old house with her husband.
She could not stay too long. It would easily bring back memories, and she would miss her mother.
That would deeply sadden her.
Sadness was not a good thing for the baby in the womb.
The next day, the weather was fine.
When Rosalie woke up, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Byron saw it and asked, “What lovely dreams did you have?”
“I dreamed about my mom. She said I did the right thing. My mother also told me that Gordon hadalready knelt and apologized to her.”
Byron immediately responded with a smile. “Yes, you did the right thing. However, you don’t need tothink about that now.
The most important thing now is for our family to be happy.”
Rosalie nodded and threw herself into the man’s warm embrace.
Byron hugged her tightly in return and could not help but put a light kiss on her forehead.
They heard the chatters of the three little kids while brushing their teeth. Benedict and Melody werereminding them to bring their textbooks and other school items.
This ordinary but peaceful feeling was truly blissful.
“Come with me to the hospital for my prenatal check-up today.” The woman’s voice was tender.
Byron immediately nodded in agreement and said with a smile, “That’s for sure. I’d have to go for mylesson even if you didn’t have to go for a check-up. My caretaking course is about to finish.”
“Really? Why have I not seen you practicing anything recently? What have you learned?” Rosalieteased and laughed.
“I learned a lot. Of course, you’ve seen it! Didn’t I remind you to take folic acid last time? Also, there areother things, such as…”
