Petra's countenance was much better than before, but the teardrops on her face had not stopped falling since
this morning.
| could understand because too many unexpected things had happened today.
She held my hands tightly. "Child, the doctor said that your body is weaker and you haven't recovered from the
last miscarriage very well. You're blessed to be able to conceive this time. Don't worry about Munchkin. We'll do
everything we can to save him. You must not get too anxious and harm your body at this time."
Petra patted my hand while comfortingover and over again. | knew just how much the elderly wanted this
child to stay.
‘Don't worry, Mom. I'm okay." | forced back my tears and comforted her, but | did not feel happy at all.
"You've been here the whole day and should go back and get srest. I'll be fine with Theo here to stay with
me."

"Yeah, Petra. You should go home. I'll be here," Grayson persuaded her as well.
"Why don't you take Mom home? I'll be fine after getting enough rest. | don't need to be watched all the time.
You can cback and visittomorrow."
| was only saying so on purpose because | knew they were worried.
Before Petra could answer, Theo said first," No way, you should focus on recuperating right now. Lie down and
don't go anywhere."
He then looked at Grayson. "Don't worry about us. I'll be here. | can call someone to cover if | can't handle
it."
Petra quickly waved her hands and said." No, no. How can outsiders take care of her better than her own family?
I'll stay here. You should all go home." Petra tried to suppress the young ones using her authority as the elder.
Theo was clearly unwilling, what more Grayson.
"Do you know how old you are now? If you get sick, then do you think you'll be the one taking care of Wanda or
will Wanda be the one taking care of you instead?" Grayson looked in my direction as he said that, trying to tell
Petra that | could only lay on the bed now. | would not be able to get up to take care of her.
"Just go home, rest, then ctomorrow morning and bring a pot of soup with you. That's better don't you

Petra was reluctant and looked at me, not wanting to part with me. However, | was much more resolute than
them.
"I miss your soup, Mom. Go hand get a good rest tonight, then bringsoup tomorrow, okay?"
"Fine." Petra knew there was no use persuading me. "But you must promisethat you won't get anxious."
I nodded, then watched Grayson walk Petra outside.
Theo sat by my bed with a faint smile on his face. "It must be hard on you. Blme for being so careless. How

He even sank into immense guilt.
"Don't worry. From now on, leave everything toand just focus on recuperating in the hospital with peace of
mind. I'll ask the doctor to move you next to Munchkin so you can watch out for each other. When Munchkin's
condition is stable, we'll take him hso you'll both be comfortable."
Theo seemed to have figured it all out. | was grateful for him, but | could not bring myself to do so. At the
thought of this, my tears rolled out first.
"What's wrong, Wanda?" Theo looked atin a panic.
"I need to discuss something with you, Theo." When | stopped crying, | slowly raised my head. It sounded more
like a plea than a discussion.
"What is it? If it's within my scope of capability, then I'll agree to whatever request you have."
If I desired something, he would never refuse me. Only this time, | was truly worried.
