“But the babies still need to stay in the incubator for the time being,” added Xante.
Corinne immediately frowned when she heard she would have to leave the babies in the hospital. “In that case, I’ll stay here too.”
“Boss, you won’t be able to stay with the babies even if you continue to stay here; they need to be in the incubator. It’s better for
you to go home so you can nurse your body back to health. Aaron and I, along with Mister Lucas and the nurses will take turns
to look after the baby. Rest assured that they’ll be well taken care of,” advised Xante.
Even if she could not spend every second with her babies, Corinne still could not bear to leave them all alone in the hospital.
“I’ll go home when the babies go home.”
“But Boss, you’ve just given birth, and the first month is important for getting your body back to tip-top condition. Otherwise, it’ll
be easier for you to fall sick in the future. Of course, it’ll be more comfortable for you to stay at home than at the hospital,”
advised Xante again.
“This girl is right!” said Pamela from the door before Corinne could say anything.
Everyone in the room turned to look at her.
Pamela came walking in with the help of Francine. The old woman’s expression was filled with worry and concern.
“Corinne, didn’t you promise you’d call me if anything happened? Why didn’t giving birth so I could be there with you?”
Corinne immediately thought of Jeremy when she saw Pamela.
Xante frowned and threw Francine a reproachful look when she saw Pamela.
Seeing this, Francine whispered helplessly, “Why are you looking at me like that? I wasn’t the one who told her. She found out
about this herself.”
Jason greeted Pamela with a smile before stepping off into a corner to let the women talk among themselves.
Francine helped Pamela to the chair beside Corinne’s bed. The old woman looked at her with a pained expression on her face
and asked, “Corinne, how do you feel right now? Does your body still hurt?”
Corinne shook her head. “Don’t worry, Grandma. The birth went smoothly, and I’m recovering well.”
Pamela felt more at ease when she saw how relatively healthy Corinne looked. She then sighed deeply and said, “Corinne, I feel
like I have no right to face you since none of us Holdens were there when you were giving birth.”
Corinne’s face fell. The only Holden she really wanted with her when she was giving birth was Jeremy—not Pamela, Francine, or
Greg.
Not wanting to pretend anymore, she asked her, “Grandma, where’s Jeremy?”
Pamela’s face contorted unnaturally at the question, but she quickly said, “He’s still at Molomia. Something really serious
happened to our company there, so he had no choice but to stay behind. But don’t you worry. I’m going to make him get on his
knees and beg for your forgiveness the moment he’s back in the city.”
Corinne was no fool. She could tell Pamela was lying. “Grandma, how did you manage to get in contact with him? Did he tell you
himself that something really serious happened at the company over there?” she asked with a frown.
Pamela was instantly stumped by her questions.
