Chapter 841
The pendant consisted of a detailed engraving of a deity that was made of gold. One could easily determine that it was a priceless item. "Aunt Jocelyn, I don't think I deserve something as expensive as this." "We're family, so this is nothing. Besides, this used to belong to your mother, so aren't you the person who is most deserving of this heirloom?" With that, Jocelyn tucked the pendant into her hand. Pierre already booked a spot for Selena at the best postnatal care center before the baby was even born. Therefore, the entire Fowler Family practically moved into the place after Selena was discharged from the hospital.
On the other hand, Charles, who had no experience in postnatal care, followed Pierre's every advice, including booking a spot in the care center. As a result, Jude and him also moved into the place after she was discharged.
Postnatal care centers were friendly to both women and men; not only would the babies be cared for, but the mothers would also be cared for exclusively. With the weight off his shoulders, Charles was finally able to partially resume working.
After the Zephyr Organization was dissolved, he left some money for Jude, and then proceeded to spend the rest on helping the other members of the organization to settle down. He even bought a tech company so that he could start earning money.
Some time later, Hades, who began going by the name of Hogan Raffles, came to visit Jude. Because she was sleeping, he could only pop in to take a look at the baby before going to his brother for a chat. "Charles, my nephew sure looks like Jude." A newborn baby would always bring hope.
"Yeah. Fortunately, Jude is beautiful." As the baby grew to be prettier by the day, Charles had received a lot of comments stating that the baby looked like Jude, which was a delight to him.
"Now that you're a father, you need to work hard to earn money," Hogan said jokingly. "You can no longer squander money like how you used to." Back in the days, Zephyr Organization made more than enough money, so the brothers got to lead a luxurious lifestyle. If they had known it would come to this, they would have saved up.
"Enough with that. What about you? Shouldn't you also get married now that I am already a father?" Charles glanced at Hogan. As the only remaining family member tied to him by blood, Charles would of course care about Hogan,
"Me? I'm good. I don't want to go through all that sh*t." Hogan heaved a sigh. "Freedom is the best."
Charles let out a chuckle. "It won't be up to you when you meet the love of your life."
Despite what Charles told him, Hogan shrugged without giving a reply. "Alright, I won't be in your way. I'll leave now. See you later."
When Charles checked the time, he noted that Jude had slept for an hour, so it was about time that she woke up. Therefore, he tucked his laptop away before heading to her room, only to find that she was crying.
"What's the matter?" Charles sat
down beside her, but her weeping only intensified. Meanwhile, the nurse who was in charge of looking after the baby was at a loss of what to do. She only came to drop the baby off to be breastfed, which somehow made Jude cry. With a wave of his hand, Charles dismissed the nurse. "Leave, and bring the baby with you."
The nurse obeyed him, after which he tried to soothe Jude. "Don't cry. Didn't the doctor say crying would do harm to your eyes during the postnatal care? Come on, be a good girl and stop crying." "Darling, it hurts." Jude pointed at her chest. "It hurts so much. It's bleeding."Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
When Charles lifted her clothes to see the gruesome mess underneath it, he felt sorry for her. "How did it come to this? I'll get a doctor."
An obstetrics specialist was
stationed in the care center. Soon, the specialist arrived to check on Jude's condition. "This is a common occurrence. Womens' breasts are fragile, so the infants' repeated suckling would undoubtedly hurt."
