Chapter 265
The Contract Marriage
âI heard it will take about a week. Let me ask first today.â
âThen Iâll send you to the company first. Do this for me today. You must do it as soon as possible. Your grandmother is old and canât wait anymore, understand?â
Jasmine immediately nodded, âGrandma, I know! Donât worry!â
Because Christian came back, Daphne seemed to have a backbone in her heart. Adding on the fact that she had rested for the entire afternoon yesterday, her body and spirit were much better.
After breakfast the next day, she took a car to the hospital. She first went to the ICU to take a look at her husband before going to Vivianâs delivery room.
When Daphne walked in, she happened to see Mrs. Holmes holding her grandson in one hand and preparing to feed the child with milk powder in the other.
They did not know what was going on with this little guy today. But he did not drink the milk power and spat out the moment it was fed to his mouth.
Seeing Daphne walk in, Mrs. Holmes was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat.
âMrs. Holmes, Vivian is fine now. Why are you still letting the child drink milk power? Which child isnât being breastfed now? No! We canât let him drink this!â
Daphne saw and immediately reached out to carry her grandson from Mrs. Holmesâs embrace. She looked at Mrs. Holmes and said, âDidnât you watch those children on television who only drank milk powder? All of them had problems in their health. Vivian doesnât go to work, so she should breastfeed at home. It is also the best for the child.â
When Vivian heard Daphneâs words, she immediately explained for her mother, âMom, milk powder are all imported from abroad. Itâs not like, itâs domestic. Itâs fine. Besides, my milk is not very good and this child also does not like to eat it.â
Daphne listened to her daughter-in-lawâs words and carried the child to sit beside the bed. âYou are too young. You donât understand this. You have only given birth to him for a few days, so you probably did not feed him, right? The more he eats, the more milk there is. I am telling you, Vivian. You canât be like other peopleâs daughter-in-law, thinking about maintaining your figure and not feeding the child. That kind of mother is too irresponsible. Do you know that?â
As she spoke, she carried the child to Vivianâs side and looked at her. âCome on. From now on, you have to learn to feed him!â
Vivian looked at her mother with a little difficulty and then looked at mother-in-law. She did not know how to refute and could only lift up the hem of her clothes and put her breast close to the childâs mouth.
Stephen, who was still quiet just now, once again cried loudly as soon as he touched Vivianâs body. The sound of crying shook the sky. His small face turned red in no time.
Daphne saw that her grandson was crying and immediately picked him up with heartache. While coaxing, she said in puzzlement, âThis is really strange. Why is this child different from other children?
Oh right, Vivian. Donât tell me you smeared something on his head?â
Daphne felt that this matter was somewhat incomprehensible. She looked at Vivian and frowned as she replied.
âAiya, Mom, what do you think of me?â Vivian placed her clothes properly and looked at Daphne with a bit of grievance.
When Mrs. Holmes heard Daphneâs words, she immediately opened her mouth and said, âMrs. Cooper, look at what you said. No matter what, Vivian is the mother of the child. She just fed the child milk and Stephen said that he would not eat anything. Vivian was so anxious that she kept crying. I also had no choice but to feed the child some milk. Donât you feel even worse when you say that to her?â
Hearing Mrs. Holmes say that, Daphne nodded. âYes, Vivian. When I saw Stephen, I was so anxious that I was confused. It seems that this matter cannot be rushed. Take it slow. When you are discharged from the hospital and return home, we will take a look.â
Daphne still did not want to give up.
Vivian replied rather readily, âMom, I will listen to you.â
Stephen, who was in her arms, was crying. No matter how Daphne coaxed him, she could not coax him. So she could only give him back to Mrs. Holmes.
Mrs. Holmes took the milk bottle back. However, Stephen did not drink and kept crying. Seeing this, Daphne was very anxious, âIf this continues, it will not be a solution. I will go to Sarahâs room to take a look!â
Daphne said as she walked out of Vivianâs delivery room.
The moment she closed the door to the delivery room, Vivian anxiously looked at her mother, âMom, Did this child pee, thatâs why he kept crying?â
Mrs. Holmes heard her daughterâs words and immediately put down the milk bottle. She put Stephen on the baby bed to check again and found that the childâs body was clean. There was nothing, so she could only wrap Stephen up again.
Mrs. Holmes put the milk bottle back to his mouth and wanted to coax him to drink some milk powder.
But they did not know what happened to the little guy today. He didnât cooperate at all, and cried at the top of his lungs, causing the mountains to collapse and the earth to collapse.
Vivian felt that her head was about to explode from crying.
âWhat kind of child is this? The entire Demon King One-Bull! He came specifically to torture me!â Vivian was extremely angry when she heard Stephenâs cries.
Mrs. Holmes nervously looked at her daughter. âSpeak softly. How can a mother say that about her son?â
âHe is not my son!â Vivian retorted.
âYou want to court death, right?â Mrs. Holmes heard her daughterâs words and immediately walked over to pat her.
When Vivian heard the childâs cry again, she felt so annoyed that she wanted to die. She looked at her mother and said, âMom, carry him out for a walk. I am going to die from his mess!â
âOkay, okay, okay! I will carry him out for a walk. . .â Mrs. Holmes saw her daughterâs depressed expression and knew that she was in a bad mood. She could only carry the crying Stephen out of the delivery room.
The moment Daphne came out of Vivianâs delivery room, she went straight to Sarahâs room. When she opened the door and walked in, she saw Christian carrying the child to Sarahâs side to feed the child.
Daphne greeted Samantha and walked to Sarahâs bedside. Seeing that the child beside Sarah ate very well, she said somewhat enviously, âSarahâs milk seems to be not bad. Is the child enough to eat?â
Samantha heard her words and smiled, âIt is enough to eat. This childâs appetite is small. She eats for a few minutes before she is full.â
âIs that so? That is great! Sigh. . . Vivianâs milk was not enough. Stephen, that child, kept crying the moment he touched Vivian. I really donât know what is going on.â
âIsnât that child hungry?â Samantha asked worriedly when she heard that.
âYes! The child is so hungry that he is crying. Now he doesnât even drink the milk powder. That. . .
Sarah, look at your milk, it is so good. Simona is already full. Can you let Stephen eat some of your milk for the time being?â
Daphne also saw that her grandson was crying too hard. That was why she came here to take a look.
She did not expect Sarahâs milk to be especially good. Her heart ached for her grandson as he kept crying. Only then did he bite the bullet and open her mouth.
When Sarah heard Daphneâs words, she was stunned. She really did not have a good impression of when she thought that it was Julianâs son, she nodded. âAunt Daphne, bring Stephen over. . .â
Daphne immediately smiled and nodded when she heard that. âOkay! I will go right away!â
After saying that, she quickly walked out of the room.
Christian looked up at his wife and did not say anything.
Samantha sighed softly beside him. âNo matter what, he is Julianâs son. Since you have so much milk, feed him. That child looks very cute. . .â
After Samantha finished speaking, she could vaguely hear the cries of the child in the corridor. It was a little hysterical.
Sarah did not know why but when she heard the crying, Sarah felt her heart unconsciously hurt. part of her heart out. Her breathing became rapid, making her uncomfortable.
She looked up at her mother and said, âMom, this canât be Stephen crying, right?â
âProbably. . .â
When Daphne came out of Sarahâs hospital room, she saw Mrs. Holmes holding Stephen and walking back and forth in the corridor. But no matter how she tried to coax him, she could not.
Stephenâs crying could be heard throughout the entire corridor.
Daphne immediately walked over with heartache. Seeing Mrs. Holmesâs helpless expression, she reached out and took Stephen over. âMrs. Holmes, you go back first. I will carry Stephen to Sarahâs room. Her milk is enough. I will go and try if Stephen wants to eat it.â
After she finished speaking, she walked away without looking back.
Mrs. Holmes opened her mouth and wanted to stop Daphne, but when she heard the child crying, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.
Mrs. Holmes thought that it would be good to try it this way. If Stephen did not even eat Sarahâs milk, then it would be easier for her daughter to talk to in front of Daphne in the future. Looking at Daphneâs back, she turned around and entered her daughterâs delivery room.
âMom, where is the child?â Seeing her mother come in alone, Vivian asked puzzledly.
âOh, that mother-in-law of yours said Sarahâs milk is good and carried Stephen over. She wants to see if this child wants to eat Sarahâs milk or not.â
âWhat did you say?â Vivian suddenly sat up straight when she heard that.
Mrs. Holmes saw her daughterâs expression and immediately reached out to close the door. She walked to the bed side and sat down beside her and said in a low voice.
âVivian, this child has been crying outside. Daphne came over to take him and leave. She said she wants to see if Stephen would eat Sarahâs milk. She thought since Stephen didnât eat your milk, let him try it. Didnât you see how anxious your mother-in-law looked just now? She even thought that you deliberately didnât feed Stephen. I think if that child doesnât even recognize Sarah, your mother-in-law, wonât say anything about you.â
Vivian looked at her mother speechlessly. âMom, no matter whether he eats it or not, you cannot let her carry the child away. What if he eats it? After getting addicted to eating, he wonât even drink milk powder. At that time, wonât the child become Sarahâs again?â
Mrs. Holmes heard her daughterâs words and was a little unhappy as she said, âThen what should we do? I will go and carry the child back right now?â
âForget it. Since Daphne has already carried the child away, whatâs the use of carrying him back now?
In any case, no matter what, I canât let her feed the child in the future!â
Mrs. Holmes immediately nodded her head. âI hope that child doesnât eat her milk!â
Daphne carried Stephen along the way and quickly entered Sarahâs room. She saw that the child was crying so hard that he could not even catch his breath.
Daphne looked at it and felt an indescribable heartache.
Before they reached the door, the door of the room opened. Daphne immediately carried the child into the room and quickly walked to Sarahâs bedside, âSarah, ah. Look how hard this child is crying. If he doesnât even eat your milk, then let the doctor see what is going on.â
Daphne carried the child to Sarahâs side as she spoke.
âAunt Daphne, let me do it.â Christian walked over. Sarahâs wound was now in pain. Just a slight movement would cause severe pain.
