Chapter 267

“Thank you! Doctor! Thank you so much!” Christian immediately expressed his gratitude.

Daphne covered her mouth in excitement, tears welling up in her eyes.

The attending physician looked at Daphne and said slowly, “He has already tried very hard. Although
he hasn’t woken up yet, the patient’s survival instinct is also very helpful to the condition. He hasn’t
even given up himself, so you have to persist even more!”

“Doctor, don’t worry. We won’t give up!”

The attending physician nodded in satisfaction after hearing Christian’s words. He waved at the two of
them and then left with the nurse and doctor.

Daphne watched the attending physician walk away. Through the window, she looked at her husband
who was lying on the bed. There was a gratified expression on her face. “Christian, your father is finally
safe, right?”

Christian nodded. “I believe that my father will wake up soon. He will definitely wake up!”

“Yes, he will wake up. . .” Daphne looked at her husband through the glass window. “Ethan, you have
to get better quickly. We have grandchildren now. Don’t you like children? Get better quickly. When you
get better, you will be able to see them, understand?”

When Christian heard Daphne’s words, his heart ached. He gently held Daphne’s shoulder and
comforted her. “Aunt Daphne, my father’s condition has improved a lot. Don’t worry too much. If you
are tired, go home and rest. My dad doesn’t need anyone to take care of him now. When he leaves the
ICU, you won’t have much time to rest. “

Daphne heard his words and nodded. “Then I will go and take a look at the child before leaving.”



“Okay. Then you go first. I will go and ask the doctor about my father’s condition. . .” He still had some
doubts in his heart. He did not feel good to speak in front of Daphne just now.

“Okay. . . Then I will go first. . .” Daphne did not say anything else and turned around to walk towards
the elevator.

Seeing Daphne walk away, Christian then walked towards the office of the attending physician just
now. He stood at the door and knocked on the door. After getting permission, he walked in.

The doctor saw that it was Christian and looked at him in confusion. “What’s the matter?”

“Doctor, I want to ask you something.” Christian sat on a stool by the doctor’s desk as he spoke.

“Okay, tell me.”

“I want to ask about my father’s illness. Did you take over when he came that night?”

“Oh, that’s not it. Because your dad fell ill at night, there was only the doctor on duty at that time. But
his condition was a sudden heart attack, and your father had a history of cerebral hemorrhage before.
Although he recovered quite well last time, you know. . . Once that illness relapsed, the patient would
be in danger. To be honest, it’s already a miracle that he can be saved this time.”

“Then do you think that other than overworking, this disease has something to do with other aspects?
For example, his diet. . .”

“This should be related. It’s not a big deal. Of course, if you eat fish, meat, or if your lifestyle is irregular,
these will cause the illness. However, it seems that your father’s condition is mainly due to
overexhaustion. Adding on the root cause of the illness from before, the mental pressure will be
greater. That’s why he suddenly fell ill.”

“Oh. . .” Christian nodded, then stood up and said gratefully: “Thank you.”



“You are welcome. Your father has a good relationship with the dean. We can be considered to know
each other, so we are doing our best to treat his illness. From the current situation, I think his condition
will get better and better. You don’t have to worry too much.”

“Okay, thank you.”

After Christian thanked the doctor, he went back to Sarah’s delivery room.

After Stephen ate milk from Sarah, he went back and soon fell asleep. He slept until almost noon,
before the little guy woke up again.

Mrs. Holmes walked over to check his body. After changing him into a new diaper, she carried him up.

The little guy did not cry. He blinked his eyes and played for a while. Probably because he realized no
one gave him anything to eat, he started to twitch his mouth and wanted to cry.

When Mrs. Holmes saw this, she quickly put him back on the bed and ran to wash the milk powder.
Before the milk powder was ready, the little guy started to cry.

Mrs. Holmes looked at Vivian while making the milk and said, “I think we should tell your mother-in-law
to send a maid over. I will take care of him alone now but I definitely can’t do it at night.”

The reason why they did not dare to find a servant and also did not dare to invite Maternity Matron was
because the mother and daughter pair had ulterior motives and were afraid that someone would
accidentally leak the information.

But now Mrs. Holmes felt that she could not handle it by herself.

“Then let her call Hannah over.” Vivian heard her mother’s words and picked up her phone to call
Daphne.



Mrs. Holmes felt that the temperature of the milk powder was about right and of the baby. She handed
the milk to Stephen’s mouth.

The little fellow was also hungry. He opened his little mouth and swallowed the milk to eat.

Seeing this, Mrs. Holmes’s face lit up. She smiled and said, “This child will finally drink milk powder
now. . .”

But before she could finish her words, Stephen spat out the milk from his mouth. He opened his mouth
and cried. The little guy was born with a loud voice. When he cried, it was like he was shouting at the
top of his lungs. Then, the whole room was filled with his cries.

Vivian had just answered Daphne’s phone and before she could finish speaking, she heard the child
cry. She immediately frowned and covered her phone as she looked at her mother and said, “Mom,
please coax him. My mother-in-law will definitely come again if she hears it. . .”

Mrs. Holmes immediately nodded her head and reached out to carry Stephen out of the door and into
the corridor outside.

Seeing that the door of the room was closed, Vivian then put the phone by her ear again, “Mom. . .”

“Vivian, why is Stephen crying? Is he hungry again?” Daphne had just returned home not long ago and
when she received the call from Vivian, she heard the sound of her grandson crying and immediately
asked nervously.

“Mom, he just peed. My mom changed his diaper and he is fine now.”

“Really?” Daphne did not believe it.

“Of course it is true! Why would I lie to you? Oh right, Mom. My mom is a little busy by herself and still
needs to take care of me. You should ask Hannah to come to the hospital to help.”



“Okay. Then I will let Hannah go right away. Is that alright?” Daphne immediately agreed when she
heard that.

“Vivian, if Stephen still doesn’t drink milk powder, you must mother carry Stephen to Sarah’s place,
understand?”

“Yes, Mom, don’t worry. I won’t let Stephen starve.” Vivian’s gritted her teeth and said.

“That’s good!”

Vivian closed the line and heard Stephen crying in the corridor. After a while, Mrs. Holmes carried
Stephen into the room. She looked at her daughter anxiously and said, “Why doesn’t this child drink
milk powder? What should we do?”

Vivian was somewhat irritated by this child’s crying, but she also understood that this was going to
continue. It was definitely not a solution. She looked at her mother helplessly and said, “Mom, why
don’t you carry him over and I will try again.”

“Will it work?” Mrs. Holmes put the milk bottle aside and carried Stephen to Vivian’s bedside. She put
Stephen on the bed beside Vivian and wanted her to eat Vivian’s milk again.

She did not know if it was because Vivian made him out of his breath last time, but this time when Mrs.
Holmes put him beside her, the little guy cried even harder. His little hands were dancing in the air and
his calves also kicked Vivian with force.

Vivian was depressed again when she heard him cry. She looked at Stephen who was beside her and
waved his hand in disdain. “Mom, quickly take him away! I’m really going to be annoyed to death by
him. What child? He only knows how to cry and scream, the same as his mother!”



Mrs. Holmes hurriedly carried Stephen up and looked at Stephen who was crying with his mouth wide
open and sighed, “This child is crying like this. He doesn’t drink milk powder and you don’t feed him
either. Don’t tell me you really want me to carry him back to Sarah’s place?”

“No! He will have to drink milk power when he is hungry! I don’t believe that he can be so stubborn
when he’s just a child the size of a fart.” Vivian looked at the child in her mother’s arms and said
hatefully.

“Then what should we do if he keeps crying?”

“Aiya, Mom. Can’t you think of something? If I can get off the bed, I’ll come by myself.” Vivian was
upset by the child’s crying. She took the toilet paper from the bed and kneaded two pieces of paper and
stuffed them into her ears.

However, Stephen’s crying continued. In the end, she could not take it anymore and simply took the
paper out. She looked at her mother and said gloomily, “Mom, Hurry up and carry him out! I’m really
annoyed by him.”

Mrs. Holmes sighed. Seeing her daughter’s expression, she knew that she was in a bad mood. She
could only carry the crying Stephen out of the room door and carry him back and forth in the corridor.

Vivian laid on the bed for a while. Although her mother closed the door, Stephen’s heaven-shaking cry
still kept coming in, making her feel indescribably irritated.

Stephen’s cries were louder and louder. Not long after Mrs. Holmes walked in the corridor, Samantha
heard the crying of the child. She opened the door and looked down the corridor. She just happened to
see Mrs. Holmes carrying Stephen in the corridor and kept walking.

Samantha turned around and closed the door of the room.



“Mom, is it the cry of Julian’s child?” When her mother opened the door, Stephen’s cry came from the
door. Sarah’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at her mother nervously asking.

Samantha nodded her head. “It looks like he should be hungry by now. He probably just woke up. Why
is this child crying so anxiously?”

Sarah looked at her daughter who was still sleeping and then looked at Christian who was making
lunch in the kitchen. She looked at her mother and said, “Mom, you go and see Stephen. If you really
can’t do it, bring him over and I will feed him. . .”

Samantha also could not bear to listen and looked at her daughter and nodded. “Okay! We will not
bother about the adults’ matters. This child’s crying is too heartbreaking. You wait. I will go and take a
look!”

After Samantha finished speaking, she went out the door and quickly walked towards the other end of
the corridor.

When Mrs. Holmes carried Stephen back, she just happened to see Samantha walking towards her.
She did not want to greet Samantha and pretended not to see her. Mrs. Holmes carried Stephen into
her daughter’s delivery room and slammed the door shut.

Samantha looked at the scene in front of her and was stunned for a moment. She stood on the spot
and thought for a moment before returning to Sarah’s delivery room.
