Chapter 261
The Contract Marriage
âShe is Ruby?â Christian heard his brotherâs words and looked at Ruby. He looked at her carefully a few times and found that this girl was a bit introverted. She was still nervously twisting her fingers, and her face was slightly red.
âYes! She is Ruby. She is now in charge of my life.â
Christian nodded and looked at Ruby beside him. He slowly asked, âHow long has Ruby been here?â
Ruby immediately answered nervously when she heard Christian ask her. âTwo. . . Three months. . .â
Julian smiled when he heard her. âBrother, she is a little introverted. In fact, she is the younger sister of Vivian from her uncleâs family. Vivian was the one who brought Ruby here to take care of her delivery.
Later, I lost my sight, so she took care of me.â
After saying that, Julian looked in the direction of Ruby, âRuby, this is my Big Brother. You donât have to be nervous. Although he is commander, he is also reasonable.â
âYes. . .â Ruby nodded and looked up. When she saw Christianâs sharp eyes, she nervously lowered her head again.
âVivianâs cousin?â This situation made Christian slightly frown. He had never had a good impression of Vivian. Once he heard that Ruby was her cousin, he immediately looked at Ruby.
âEn, Big Brother, I will explain to you about her in the future. Right. How long can you stay this time?â
Afraid of scaring Ruby, Julian changed the topic.
âBefore I came, I only heard my mother-in-law talk about Sarahâs pregnancy. I didnât expect my father to be sick and hospitalized. Depends on the situation, I will try to stay a few more days!â
âYes. After you come back, our family finally has someone to rely on. I hope Dad can survive this!â
Julian sighed as he spoke.
Christian patted his brotherâs shoulder and stood up. âYou definitely didnât sleep well last night. Rest for a while. Iâll go down and take a look.â
âOkay. . .â Julian did not refuse. In fact, he had not slept the whole night last night. He was indeed a little tired.
When Christian walked to the door of the room, he turned around and saw Ruby as she helped Julian to lie down on the bed and affectionately covered him with a blanket.
This room was only a guest room. Julian sleeping in this room made him somewhat puzzled just now.
Although he was a man, he also felt that between his little brother and this little maid. . . There was an unusual ambiguous atmosphere.
But now was not the time to ask about these things. He gently closed the door of the room. Christian lifted his foot and went downstairs.
Because of Christianâs arrival, during the lunch time, all the young and old people of the Cooper Family felt a lot better. During the meal, Daphne was still unable to control her emotions. She looked at her blind son at the table and then thought about her husband who was in a coma again in the hospital.
Her tears could not stop falling.
Ruby immediately took a tissue and handed it over. Daphne picked it up and wiped her tears.
Old Master Cooper looked at his daughter-in-law who was crying sadly and comforted her slowly, âDaphne, I have also lived for so long. I had all seen through life, age, illness, and death. Ethan was able to break through last night. This means that his catastrophe has not arrived yet, so you can be rest assured a little. It was not a big deal. Maybe Ethan had passed a tribulation. It will be a smooth sailing in the future, donât you agree?â
Daphne forcefully suppressed the grief in her heart and nodded. âDad, I understand. . .â
âLetâs eat! If Ethan knew you were like this, he wouldnât be happy either. . .â After saying that, Old Master Cooper picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.
Daphne nodded and endured the pain in her heart and started to eat.
Christian held the chopsticks and was about to eat, when he saw Ruby who was sitting opposite him.
She first took the chopsticks and helped Julian pick up some vegetables and put them in the bowl in front of Julian. She took Julianâs hand and put the bowl and chopsticks into his hand. She then carried a bowl of soup to the side and blew on it with her lips. She then handed the bowl to Julian and whispered something to him.
Julian felt the bowl by his lips. He opened his mouth and drank some soup. Only then did he pick up the chopsticks and pick up the bowl to eat. When there was food on the corner of his mouth, Ruby would even use a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth.
Christian saw all of this and his eyes flashed slightly. But he carefully observed this little girl. Although she was Vivianâs cousin, her eyes did not have so many complicated things like Vivian had. She looked very simple and kind.
Christian did not say anything and began to eat his lunch quietly.
Because Christian came back, he did not let Daphne and Julian go to the hospital. He let them have a good rest and drove to the hospital himself.
After the car drove a distance from the villa, Christian took out his phone and called his wife. He only relaxed when he found out that she had just had lunch.
Christian soon arrived at the hospital. He first went to see his father. Then he went to his wifeâs delivery room.
When Christian walked in, he saw his wife preparing to feed her daughter. Because this was the first time Sarah had become a mother, she had no experience and did not even know how to feed her daughter the milk.
After struggling with for a long time, Christian just happened to walk in.
Hearing his daughter cry so anxiously, Christian immediately walked to the bedside and picked her up.
His body shook slightly. âBaby, whatâs wrong with you? Do you miss your father? Look. Isnât Dad here?â
Christian teased his daughter as he spoke. The little girl was really strange. When she heard his fatherâs voice, she stopped crying and looked at Christian with her pitch-black eyes.
Sarah could not help but laugh as she looked at the father and daughter pair. âIt seems that she really knows you. She has been crying for almost half an hour. I canât coax her no matter what. When you came, she stopped crying. Iâm her biological mother, alright?â
Christian heard his wifeâs words and smiled. âDid you see it? This is blood relations. Blood is thicker than water, isnât it, my daughter?â
After saying that, Christian looked at his daughter in his arms and said with a smile, âMy daughter gave me a lot of face. She is so obedient at such a young age. Baby, why donât you join the army with Dad?â
Sarah heard his words and burst into laughter. âCome on. You said you wanted to join the army when I give birth to a son. Now that I have given birth to a daughter, you still want her to join the army. I donât agree with it anyway.â
Christian hugged his daughter and sat down beside his wife. âWife, if my daughter is a soldier, she will definitely be better than me!â
âWhy? You still expect her to be a commander for you?â Sarah smiled and asked him back.
âWhat is a commander? No matter what, she has to be a level higher than the commander!â
âTsk, tsk. A level higher than the Commanding Officer? Your expectations are too high.â
Christian laughed. âIsnât that simple? Isnât it enough to be the wife of the commander?â
Pffft!
Sarah and Samantha couldnât help but laugh when they heard his words!
Knowing that her son-in-law had finally returned, Samantha used the excuse of going out for a stroll and left in a short while. Sarah watched her mother leave and then looked at Christian who was beside her and asked, âAre you disappointed?â
Christian was stunned by the question and looked at Sarah and asked back, âDisappointed about what?â
Sarah pouted and replied, âYou have always thought that I would definitely give birth to a son. Now that I gave birth to a daughter, I must be disappointed. . .â
Christian listened to his wifeâs words and held his daughter with one hand. He reached out and picked up Sarahâs hand and kissed her heavily. âSilly, no matter if it is a son or daughter, I am really very happy. I have been imagining things on the way here. How does my daughter look like? On the way back to the villa in this morning, her face kept flashing in front of my eyes. She looked so cute. How can I be disappointed?â
âYou, on the other hand, went into the operating room alone last night. No one was by your side.
Something like that happened to my dad again, and Iâm not by your side. Wife, Iâm really sorry. . .â
Sarah heard his words and smiled. âAm I not doing pretty well now? Itâs not like anything big happened.
Dad is also very important to me. So you donât have to apologize to me, understand?â
Christian kissed his wifeâs hand again. âBaby, thank you!â
Christian must have felt very uncomfortable knowing what happened at home. Sarah looked at him playfully and deliberately said to make him happy. âMilitary Commander Cooper is starting to feel sorry again. Be careful that your daughter hears it!â
Christian was amused by his wifeâs words. âShe was born less than 24 hours ago. She wonât understand!â
Sarah could not help but laugh. âDidnât you say she is a prodigy?â
âA prodigyâs life is too pitiful. My daughter isnât a prodigy, but she knows me!â After saying that, Christian looked at his daughter and said, âIsnât that right, baby?â
But this time, for some unknown reason, just as Christian finished speaking, the little girl cried in her fatherâs arms.
âWife, what happened to her?â
âSheâs hungry! I was unconscious when she was born, so my mother fed her some milk power. When you first came, I wanted to feed her milk, but my wound was hurting, so I couldnât carry her and feed no matter what. . . â
âThis matter is easy to deal with. Look at me.â Christian heard Sarahâs words and immediately stood up with his daughter in his arms. His arms were strong and he directly carried his daughter to his wifeâs side.
Sarah smiled and looked at him. She lifted the hem of her clothes and put her nipple into her daughterâs mouth. The little girl opened her mouth and swallowed it with force.
Christian saw it and then smiled. âThis little girl is too smart. You see, we donât need to explain to her what that is. . .â
Puff!
Sarah was amused by his words, âThis is human instinct, okay? You were like this when you were born!â
âReally? But why do I feel that my daughter is very smart. . .â Christian looked at the excited look on his daughterâs face. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.
However, after the little girl ate for a short time, they didnât know why, but she spat out the milk from her mouth and started crying again. Her little face turned red due to crying.
Christianâs heart ached when he saw it. He held his daughter up and coaxed her for a long time, but the little girl did not stop crying.
Christian looked at Sarah and asked, âWife, What happened to her?â
Sarah was also confused. It was the first time she became a mother. Seeing her daughter crying loudly, she looked at Christian, a little at a loss. âDoes she like to drink milk powder?â
âImpossible! No matter how good the milk powder is, it is not as good as breast milk. Come! Let her try again!â Christian said as he handed his daughter to Sarah.
The little girl touched her motherâs breast and opened her mouth, then put it back into her mouth. But after eating for a short time, she again started to cry. Then, her little face turned red from crying.
Seeing her crying again, Christian hurriedly picked up his daughter again and kept walking in the room.
The nurse on duty happened to be here for the ward round. Christian quickly carried his daughter and opened the door. He told the nurse that his daughter did not drink milk.
