Chapter 1380

Grandpa Augustine pointed at Cornelia and said. “This guy wasn’t there for you during your entire pregnancy, but the kid inherits his genes. That’s just not fair.”

Cornelia responded, “Grandpa.”

Grandpa Augustine continued, “He should’ve been there for you. Am I wrong for saying this?”

Frowning, Cornelia said seriously, “Grandpa, he’s my man, the one I love, and the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. Now he’s also the father of my child, and I don’t want my family to badmouth him.”

Grandpa Augustine had seen Cornelia defend her man more than once. But every time she did it, he just worried more. “Jeremy, did you hear that? Cornelia is defending you like that. You better take care of yourself and don’t make her or the kid worry anymore.”

“I know.” Jeremy slightly turned to look at Cornelia, seeing her determination to protect him. Even though Cornelia was still weak physically, her voice was strong and clear when defending him, just like a female warrior. He remembered this scene, deeply etched in his heart.

Cornelia looked up and met his eyes. She smiled and said, “You stayed up all night with me last night. Now that grandpa’s here, you can go rest a bit.”

“Ok.” Although Jeremy was reluctant to leave Cornelia and their baby, her firmness surprised him. He needed some time to calm down. He also knew that he had to take care of his health. He couldn’t be stubborn anymore. He had to listen to Dr. Lester and rest properly, so he could recover and take better care of them.

After Jeremy left. Grandpa Augustine stayed with Cornelia. He wanted Cornelia to rest as well, but then she asked, “Grandpa, did you see Jeremy just now?”

Grandpa Augustine was surprised. “Cornelia, what’s wrong?”

Tears welled up in Cornelia’s eyes. “Grandpa, tell me the truth. Don’t lie to me. Did you see Jeremy?”

Grandpa Augustine quickly replied. “Of course I saw him. Before I came, he was here with you. I heard that you felt unwell last night. He immediately took you to the hospital, and that’s why you could give birth safely. He’s been with you guys. He only left because you told him to rest.”

Wiping away her tears, Cornelia laughed, her eyes full of tears. “So it’s not a dream this time. He really showed up, didn’t he?”

Grandpa Augustine immediately held Cornelia’s hand and comforted her, “Of course it’s real. And judging from his condition, he’s recovered well. He won’t leave you guys again.”

How much pain had Cornelia endured alone? How many times had she dreamt of Jeremy? So much so that when Jeremy really showed up, she couldn’t believe it.

Seeing her like this, Grandpa Augustine felt deeply saddened. If he had known how much she missed Jeremy, he wouldn’t have acted alongside someone else to keep her in the dark.

“That’s great. That’s great.” Cornelia’s voice trembled, her eyes reddening as she slowly closed her eyes.

Before, she was afraid that all this was a dream. She didn’t dare sleep. But once she confirmed that Jeremy was real, she relaxed and immediately fell asleep. When she woke up again, even before opening her eyes, she heard a familiar and pleasant male voice, “Are you awake?”
