Chapter 552
The Woman From Hell
Jerome waved the milk bottle in front of Nimue and said with a grin, "Itâs nice that he's not afraid of
strangers."
I nodded and reached out in an attempt to touch the childâs face but retracted my hand again.
Jerome smiled and grabbed my wrist, extending it toward the childâs face. The little guy grabbed my
thumb whilst chuckling.
My heart instantly melted.
"Take this." Jerome handed the milk bottle to me." Feed him. I'll go set out the plates and cutleries."
He went out before I could refuse. I looked helplessly a t the little guy in front of me, thinking about
the things I should take note of when feeding a baby milk.
Fortunately, I had read a lot of parenting books when I was pregnant back then. I could still
remember some o fit.
Nimue held the bottle and drank from the bottle joyously. I felt a lump in my throat.
How wonderful would it be if Cecilia and my child were still alive? We could have gone for an outing
together with our children. Both of us would sit on one side watching our children play together. That
would b
e such a wonderful scene to see.
When Xander walked in, I quickly lowered my head and wiped away my tears. He patted my
shoulder and sighed. "Nimue will be your child from now on. Treat him well."
I nodded. "Don't worry."
Xander sat on the chair and said, "Nimue is a premature baby and was never breastfed since birth,
s o he's developing much slower and looks a lot smaller than others his age."
Breastmilk...
I looked at Xander. "I'm not sure if I still have any breastmilk left."
Xander frowned. "You're saying..."
I obviously had breast milk when I was pregnant back then, but after my child was removed, I did
not need to stimulate lactation since breast milk was not needed.
I was unsure if I still had any breast milk left. I might need to make a trip to the hospital to have the
obstetrician and gynecologists look at it.
"Make a trip to the hospital with me tomorrow." I smiled at Nimue. "If the doctor says that I still have
breast milk left after stimulating lactation, then I'll breastfeed him. Nimue is still young and can't go
without breast milk."
Xander looked a little uneasy. "Wandy, are you not treating me as a man?â
I was stunned. "Why would you say that?"
He brushed his nose. "I don't think it's appropriate for you to discuss stuff like that with a man like
me."
"Whatâs not appropriate about that?" I laughed. "Iâm already a married woman who has given birth
once. Plus, would you still be interested in me? Besides, now that you've gotten together with
Jerome, you're considered my sister as well."
Xander widened his eyes. "What sister?!"
"No, hold on.â He seemed to have just realized something. "Y-You know about Jerome and m-my...
Our..."
"Yes." I looked at him with a blank expression. "I know.â
Why else would they live together?
Also, anyone could tell that they shared an unusual relationship from the way they looked at each
other.
I would be a fool if I still could not tell!
Xander was silent for a very long time before saying slowly, "You probably think this is strange,
right?"
