Chapter 954
Cornelia was still a bit on edge, âI need to wait for Natalia to wake up. If she wakes up not knowing where she is, sheâd surely freak out.â
Marcus said seriously, âIâll have someone take care of her. You need to rest first.
Because of Marcusâs firm attitude, Cornelia had no choice but to take his advice. She drank some glucose water and went back to her room to rest.
Not having slept for two straight nights, as soon as she laid down, Cornelia fell asleep almost immediately. But her sleep was anything but peaceful
She dreamt of her grandma again. In the dream, her grandma was wearing reading glasses, needle in one hand and thread in the other, trying to thread the needle. But her hand was shaking so badly that she just couldnât do it.
Cornelia moved closer to her grandma and said, âGrandma, let me thread the needle for you.â
But it was like her grandma couldnât hear her at all. She rearranged the thread and tried to thread the needle again, but her hand was shaking even more.
F
Looking helpless, her grandma looked up and said, âHawthorne, my hands are shaking too much, can you come help me thread the needle?â
Following her grandmaâs gaze, Cornelia saw her dear father. Her father smiled at her grandma and said, âMom, just give me a minute. I need to help Clair
turn over.â
Cornelia noticed a woman laying next to her father. She tried hard to see the womanâs face clearly, but no matter what, she just couldnât.
The womanâs stomach was very big.
Her grandma said, âClairâs only been pregnant for a few months and her bellyâs already this big. Take her to the hospital tomorrow for a checkâup, see if sheâs overeating and the baby is too big. If the babyâs too large, itâll be painful for Clair when she gives birthâ
The woman said gently, âMom, Iâve been going for regular prenatal checkâups, the babyâs development is normal, heâs not particularly large. Itâs probably because Iâm so thin that my belly looks so big.
The woman was indeed very thin, her collarbone was quite prominent. As Cornelia looked back at the womanâs belly, it seemed to have grown a lot bigger and was still expanding. It was getting bigger and bigger, like an inflating balloon.
Suddenly there was a loud noise and the womanâs stomach burst open, a baby popped out. Cornelia was startled, instinctively reaching out to catch the baby, but her father beat her to it.
Her father cradled the newborn in his arms and said with a smile, âClair, look, itâs a girl, our child.â
The woman said, âYou should give her a name.â
When Cornelia looked back at the woman, her belly was back to its normal size.
Her father said, âWeâve already thought of a name. If itâs a girl, weâll call her Corneliaâ
-The woman said, âCornelia. Itâs a pretty name and easy to remember.â
Her grandma also came over, âMy granddaughter is born. Let me hold her.â
Her father quickly passed the baby to her grandma. Her grandma was overjoyed as she took the baby, looking at her over and over again, âSheâs beautiful! Our Nelly is so beautiful!â
Cornelia watched as the baby in her grandmaâs arms grew up in an instant, looking like a oneâyearâold.
