Chapter 408 - Congratulations (1/2)

Halia opened her eyes. She had been sleeping for some time but she still felt exhausted. Although her delivery was surprisingly quick and smooth, it was still very painful and tiring.

Jackson noticed his wife wake up and quickly walked to her side.

”Where's our baby?” Halia asked as she tried to look around.

Jackson smiled. ”The nurses are taking care of her in the nursery so you can get a bit of sleep. When you're ready, I can ask them to bring her. You have a crib in your room for her to sleep in,” he said as he pointed to a little crib next to Halia's bed.

Halia nodded her head excitedly. She had been waiting for the baby to arrive for so long. All she wanted to do now was stare at its face all day long and hold it in her arms.

Jackson also nodded and stepped outside to speak to the nurses.

Soon, a little newborn baby was carried into Halia's room and placed in her arms. Halia looked at the precious little creature and felt her heart melt. Apart from holding her for a brief moment in the labor ward, this was her second time holding her daughter in her arms, but for some reason, she already felt so in love with her that she was ready to risk her life for her at any moment. This was the love of a mother. The feelings came naturally and Halia did not resist it.

Jackson also felt the same way. If anyone dared to pick on his precious little daughter, they were dead!

Seeing that Halia was now awake and her husband was beside her, the nurse began to teach the new parents some basics, including how to carry the baby properly, what signs to look out for, how to b.r.e.a.s.tfeed, how often to feed, how to change the baby's nappy, and how to bathe her. Halia had read some books and watched some videos beforehand so she already knew some of the things that the nurse taught, but it was still different to actually put the theory to practice on her own baby.

After the nurse finished teaching them and the baby settled into her crib, there was suddenly a knock on the door.

Jackson walked over to see who it was and was surprised to see his brother and Avaleigh outside. But even more surprising was the fact that Avaleigh was in a wheelchair.

Avaleigh didn't want her friends and family to worry about her, so she had told Emerson not to tell anyone about her condition until her surgery was over and things looked positive.

Halia saw Avaleigh and her eyes opened wide in shock. She had seen the article about Avaleigh and heard how she quit her show. She also read the rumors about her breaking up with Emerson. But Halia knew better. She knew how much Emerson loved Avaleigh and knew there was more to the story. Now that she saw Avaleigh in this state, she began to realize what the real reason was.

”Are you OK, Avaleigh? What happened?” Halia asked in concern. She really liked Avaleigh so she was genuinely worried about her.

Avaleigh looked pale and weak, and it appeared as though she had lost a bit of weight.
