Chapter 876 Smart Kids!
"Just fed him, putting him back in the nursery," Natalie said with a smile.
Nathan was considered a premature baby, because being Oliver's son, the hospital paid special attention. Apart from feeding by Natalie, he was looked after by specified nurses most of the time.
Jane and Flora didn't rush to see the baby, instead they chatted with Natalie.
In the world of women, men couldn't really join the conversation.
Jane, Flora, and Natalie chatted and laughed, while Oliver, not only able to grasp their jokes, but also couldn't even understand their topics of discussion.
Lucas gave Oliver a smug look from a distance, seemingly saying,” If you're not happy to see me, I can introduce you to more unhappy people!"
As long as Natalie was happy!
Oliver looked indifferent at Lucas.
‘He really wanted to throw this guy out!’ Oliver pondered.
"Natalie!"
The ward door was left open, and after a while, the joyful sound of a baby's cooing could be heard from outside, accompanied by the sound of little shoes tapping on the floor.
"Allison, slow down!"
—It was Arthur's voice.
Natalie and Jane instinctively looked at Flora, who seemed fine, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Arthur finished speaking, a soft little figure rushed in, quickly running towards Natalie's bed.
"Natalie, baby brother Nathan!" Tina, being too small, stood on her tiptoes, trying to reach the bed, jumping up in excitement.
Natalie gently ruffled Tina's hair, praising her, "That's right, Tina, you're so good, indeed baby brother Nathan!"
Tina proudly lifted her chin.
“Of course! Tina said it was a boy!” She said.
Oliver glanced coldly at Tina, not pleased!
"Tina, now that Nathan's here, you're not looking at me?" Flora pretended to be sad.
Tina giggled, then twisted her body to Flora, skillfully acting cute, "This is the first time when I visit the brother, but mom you are always here!"
“Nathan was the new baby brother, so he needed to be greeted first. Mom has always been here, And Mom won't run away, I've seen Mom!” She spoke.
"Smart kid!" Flora kissed Tina's cheek twice.
Tina, surprised, held her own face, whispering, "Arthur also kissed me just now, which meant that Arthur indirectly kissed Flora! Great!"
Flora froze for a moment, subconsciously turned her head, and met Arthur's eyes, which were gentle, deep, refined, and mysterious.
Like a leopard patiently looking at its prey.
Flora quickly turned away, affectionately patting her daughter's head, pretending not to have heard what her daughter just said.
Natalie and Jane caught this scene in their eyes, exchanging a quick glance.
"Congratulations, Natalie, Oliver!" Arthur said.
Oliver, looking at the sweet and affectionate Allison, then thinking of his own son, found Arthur even more displeasing.
Oliver didn't want to engage with Arthur.
Arthur knew very well, and with a lack of courtesy, found a seat and continued, "Congratulations, Oliver, on having Nathan. Emma says Nathan resembles you a lot."
"You don't want to stay longer?" Oliver asked.
Arthur's smile deepened, relishing the rare opportunity to tease Oliver!
Newborns have strong digestive systems and need to be fed every two to three hours.
When it was time, the nurse brought Nathan over. The wrinkled Nathan, even when hungry, didn't cry, just kept smacking his lips and moving his head around.
"Wow, such a tiny baby!" Jane was amazed at seeing a newborn who had just been born.
"Nathan!" Tina jumped up in excitement.
However, Tina was too short and small, even when she jumped, she couldn't see Nathan being held by the nurse until the nurse kindly crouched down.
Tina was full of joy and excitement, wanting to touch Nathan but hesitating, looking extremely cute and careful.
"Tina, don't you think Nathan is ugly?" Natalie couldn't help teasing Tina.
Although Nathan was considered a cute newborn, Natalie, as his mother, found him a bit unattractive at first sight.
Babies who have just been born are all a bit ugly.
"Nathan is handsome!" Tina earnestly corrected, "All babies are like this, they'll be beautiful next month! Nathan is not ugly!"
Everyone present, except Tina's parents, was taken aback.
A four-year-old child who knows so much?
"Tina learned it herself," Arthur shrugged, indicating he didn't push knowledge onto his daughter.
Natalie remembered that when Tina was at the Rosewood Estate, she was very interested in medicine. At that time, Arthur even specially made a set of simulated human bones for Tina to play with.
The accompanying nurse looked at Tina with great anticipation, as if she could already expect that she could receive integrated bachelor’s-master’s-doctor’s degree, leading the field of medicine in the future.
Arthur was also drawn to Nathan, looking at the tiny infant, then his gaze shifted to Flora's face. ‘was Tina also this small when she was born? Was there someone with Flora at that time?’ He thought.
During his university days, Arthur interned at a hospital to hone his medical skills, choosing a public hospital over a high-end private one to see a wide range of cases. There, he encountered many patients who were alone without anyone to accompany them, and many who were struggling in life.
When Flora gave birth, she was abroad.
At that time, Flora went abroad alone, and Arthur even remembered that the former Flora, although her foreign language skills were good, but her spoken language was not fluent, with awkward pronunciation and grammar.
At that time, Flora might not only have been without money or the company of relatives and friends, but she might have also faced discrimination and sarcasm from others.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Tina looked at Arthur in confusion.
Everyone's gaze shifted from Nathan to Arthur.
"Nothing." Arthur withdrew his gaze from Flora, feeling a pang in his heart with dry eye.
Flora seemed to sense something, but pretended not to notice anything and averted her gaze.
Natalie needed to feed Nathan, so Oliver waited for the others to leave the ward.
Unexpectedly, after Natalie held Nathan, she said, "Oliver, Flora and Jane can stay with me."
What he meant was he wanted the others to leave too.
Oliver stared at Natalie, not pleased.
Natalie blinked innocently at him.
Oliver, feeling helpless, left with the others with a stern face.
Lucas struggled to hold back his laughter on the side.
"What's so funny? Don't want to marry Lilian anymore?" Oliver asked Lucas sideways.
Lucas's smile froze suddenly.
He couldn't laugh anymore.
He had forgotten that with the level of trust Lilian's parents had in Oliver, this person could definitely become an obstacle on his path to marriage!
