Chapter 723: Chapter 723 Arranged Marriage

After Eudora found out about the matter, she really did scold Harley.

“When did it happen? Why have you waited so long to tell us?! Have you ever seen us as friends?”

Harley helplessly held his forehead and apologized, “I’m sorry, I just didn’t want you all to worry.”

“I’m not worried about you. It’s Thea I’m worried about! Where is she?”

As Eudora spoke, she pushed Harley away and quickly went to the ward with Juju. With Sugar Bun in his hands, Amos raised his eyebrows helplessly at Harley.

In the ward, even before opening the door, Eudora already heard Cutie Pie’s sad cries. There was also the sound of Thea coaxing the child, and she also sounded like she was on the verge of tears.

She had known about Thea’s postpartum depression when it started.

Now hearing her sorrowful cry, she could not help but still feel a glimmer of sadness in her heart. She hurriedly pushed the door open and went in, calling, “Thea!”

Thea heard the voice and looked over. When she saw that it was Eudora, she suddenly burst into tears.

“Sister George, you’re here! I…”

“Don’t say anything. I know everything already. It’s all Harley’s fault. He didn’t tell us, and it made you sad too.”

Thea cried even more sadly, “Sister George, it’s all my fault. I caused my child to suffer like this.”

“How can you say that? The child is always a part of the mother. If something happens to the child, it’s a given that you’ll be sadder than anyone else. Don’t blame yourself!”

“Sister George…”

Eudora comforted her, and Thea felt a little better. Eudora reached out and took the child, “You should be feeling tired after a night of taking care of him, right? Let me hold Cutie Pie while you go and have a rest.”

Thea was assured of Cutie Pie’s safety with Eudora, but she refused to rest.

“I don’t want to rest. I want to look at him.”

“Listen to me! The child’s condition is alright! What you should pay attention to is your own body. Don’t ruin your health, or you’ll lose more than you gain!”

When Juju saw this, she also started to advise Thea in a childish tone.

“Auntie Thea, don’t worry. I will also help take care of Cutie Pie! You can have a good rest, rest assured!”

Comfort from a child was always the most effective. Thea reached out and stroked Juju’s head.

“Alright! I’ll listen to you!”

This ward was a suite. They went outside, while Thea slept on the sofa inside the room.

Eudora helped to close the door and then looked at Cutie Pie again.

He should be feeling unwell from the fever, so he would cry from time to time. However, he had been crying for too long, and his voice had already grown hoarse hoarse.

Eudora’s heart went out to him, and she muttered some words in a low voice.

“Don’t cry. Your handsome Uncle Granger has already found the best doctor for you. As long as we conduct the operation, soon you’ll be fine!”

However, how could Cutie Pie understand her words?

He was still crying sorrowfully.

Eudora was worried that Thea would be disturbed. It had not been easy for her to coax Thea to have a rest, so she hurriedly wanted to leave.

Juju suddenly said, “Mommy, why don’t you let me coax him?”

There was no way Eudora would dare to do that. Juju was a child herself.

“No, he is not Sugar Bun. He’s ill now, and he’s not feeling well.”

“Mom, why don’t you let me have a try? I can definitely do it!”

Eudora had no choice but to carry Cutie Pie in her arms, and brought him to Juju.

Juju looked at Cutie Pie with her round eyes. The next second, she lowered her head and kissed him on the cheek.

“Cutie Pie, I’m Sister Naomi. You’d better recover as soon as possible. I’ll take you and Sugar Bun out to play when you get better, okay?”

Eudora was amused by Juju’s serious look. Even Thea, as his mother, was not able to coax Cutie Pie to stop crying. How could Juju do it?

However, the next second, Cutie Pie, who had been crying very sadly, suddenly stopped.

He stared blankly at Juju, as if he had seen a marvelous treasure, with tears in his big eyes.

Eudora was so shocked that he had really stopped crying.

Similar to Eudora, Harley and Amos were also shocked. When they were about to come in, they had heard Cutie Pie crying.

Unexpectedly, he stopped crying as soon as they entered the room.

In the midst of the astonishment, Juju reached out and held Cutie Pie’s fingers. “Then, we’ll make a pinky promise! When you get better, let’s play together!”

Cutie Pie’s mouth was wide open, and he was actually laughing!

Juju was overjoyed and said, “Mommy, look how happy Cutie Pie is! He’s laughing!”

Due to Juju laughing happily, Cutie Pie also followed suit and laughed even more joyfully, but occasionally he would sniffle for a few seconds when he felt uncomfortable.

However, generally, he really did not cry anymore.

This was probably a kind of genuine spiritual connection between children. Eudora finally felt at ease with Juju’s assistance.

…

Thea had not slept well for a few days. She slept for the whole afternoon and did not hear a single cry from her child.

After waking up, she realized this and hurriedly sat up.

At that moment, her arm was being instantly held onto by Harley as he asked her in a low voice, “How are you feeling?”

Thea pricked up her ears and listened, “Why can’t I hear Cutie Pie’s voice?”

“He’s asleep!” Harley said, “So, you can rest longer.”

Thea couldn’t believe it, “Is there something wrong with him? Don’t lie to me! Otherwise, I’ll hate you forever!”

“He’s really asleep!” Harley sighed and said, “You’ve been pushing yourself too hard lately. If you go on like this, you won’t be able to withstand it!”

Thea still didn’t believe him and struggled to go out to have a look.

Cutie Pie was lying on his bed with his eyes closed. Next to him was Juju, who was quietly watching the child.

Thea ran over to check his breathing and to make sure that he really was asleep. Only when she was sure, she felt relieved.

Juju looked at Thea with a smile, “Auntie Thea, are you feeling better? Cutie Pie is asleep. You can rest more.”

Thea’s nose twitched. She had been in desperation for the past few days.

No matter how hard she had tried, Cutie Pie could not be soothed. For many times, she had begun to doubt herself and think whether she was qualified to be a mother.

Only now did she totally relax and hug Juju in her arms.

“Thank you, Juju. I feel much better!”

Juju breathed a sigh of relief, “Only when Auntie Thea gets better, will Cutie Pie get better! Otherwise, he’ll feel sad when he sees Auntie Thea being sorrowful every day!”

This was the first time Thea had heard such words, but she felt that they made sense.

Wasn’t it true? A child’s everything was his mother. If everything was as bright as the sun every day, naturally the child would be in a good mood too.

However, if she was full of lightning and thunder every day with the rain pouring down endlessly, how could her child be happy?

“What a wake-up call. Why didn’t I think of that?” Thinking of that, Thea could not help hugging Juju again.

Then, she wondered, “Juju is about the same age as Cutie Pie. Why don’t we arrange a marriage between them?”
