Chapter 877 Mine
"Flora, you and Arthur now..." as the ward door closed, Natalie fed Nathan while asking Flora, unsure how to describe the situation.
Jane nodded beside her, sensing that Flora's attitude towards Arthur was less resistant than when she first returned.
Flora looked down with a bitter smile.
"A few days ago, a doctor named Rosy found me. Rosy was Arthur's former college classmate."
"Rosy told me that when I fell into the sea back then, Arthur's hand was disabled while searching for me."
Flora had always been clear that related to the emotional struggles between them in the past, Arthur wasn't entirely at fault.
The one who harmed Arthur was Susan, along with herself.
It was her own confusion that led her to fall in love with a man like Arthur, whom she felt unworthy of.
"I knew from the moment I met Arthur that he was a shining star in this generation of medicine, exceptionally talented, sought after by several medical doctors who wanted to groom him as their successor." Tina, interested and gifted in medicine, was probably inheriting from Arthur.
Flora said, "I've always been curious, Arthur loved medicine so much, enjoyed the feeling of being on the operating table, how could such an outstanding surgeon give up medicine for business. It turned out, his hand was disabled."
Given this price, how could Flora still harbor resentment peacefully?
There were no secrets in the information age.
The news of Natalie's childbirth spread like wildfire in the upper echelons of Paykston society.
Oliver and Natalie received blessings from all directions.
Lilian used to have a super healthy lifestyle, but after living in the country for two years, she picked up the most common habit among modern young people: staying up late and waking up late.
Lilian woke up to see the message Lucas sent her and rushed to the hospital, already past noon.
After seeing the baby, Lilian smiled brightly, exuding the joyful aura of becoming a wealthy woman.
"Lilian, why so happy?" Natalie asked.
Lilian giggled, excitedly saying, "Natalie, I'm going to be a little rich woman!"
Natalie couldn't help but remind her, "You were already quite wealthy."
Apart from the various financial arrangements made by the Norton family for Lilian, just owning 15% of the Norton family group's shares provided enough dividends for Lilian to spend freely.
"That's different, this time I earned the money myself!" Lilian said, "I was guessing whether you and Oliver were having a boy or a girl, I guessed a boy. but many others guessed a girl. Then, I hit the jackpot!"
Oliver stared coldly at Lilian, wondering why this naive Lilian would guess a boy?
‘Not a good omen at all!’ He thought.
"Why did so many people think I would have a daughter?"
Natalie was puzzled ,saying “ this should have been a fifty-fifty chance, shouldn't the bets be split evenly between a boy and a girl?’She thought.
"Because everyone heard that Oliver bought a lot of pink baby items, even bought little dresses, they thought Oliver had already checked the baby's gender." Lilian whispered mysteriously, "But Emma told me, those baby girl items were all Oliver's wishful thinking."
Natalie glanced at Oliver, who had been wishfully thinking for months. He had a cold expression of him, looking like he had been deceived.
It was oddly pitiful.
Lucas looked disdainfully at Oliver, he had guessed wrong because of Oliver's misleading, guessing a girl!
That night, many of Paykston's second-generation wealthy offspring suffered heavy losses in pocket money.
For example, Barrett, who bet his limited-edition luxury supercar on having a baby girl, lost his beloved car overnight, losing tens of millions.
After a week in the hospital, both Natalie and Nathan were in excellent condition and were discharged smoothly.
Back at the Rosewood Estate.
"Natalie, there's a gift here." Mr. Liam presented a large brocade box.
The box had some weight, carried by a younger servant.
Natalie opened it, finding a complete set of children's silver tableware, along with a small silver lock and bracelet.
The inside of the silver lock was engraved with "Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and health."
The inside of the silver bracelet was engraved with the baby's name: Nathan Windsor Nathan.
Such gifts were usually given by elders.
Before Natalie could ask, Mr. Liam said, "The gift was sent by Samuel, since I see you have a good relationship with Samuel, I accepted it. Samuel also sent a pine tree seedling, planted in the yard for Nathan. Samuel said he originally wanted to send a cypress tree, but he'll have to wait until you have a daughter next time."
The Hastings family also sent gifts, all of which were declined.
Cypress trees generally symbolized femininity.
Natalie couldn't help but glance at Oliver, seemingly saying, “do all men like daughters?”
Oliver was very satisfied with the cypress tree that hadn't been sent out yet.
"Thank you, Uncle Liam!" Natalie expressed her gratitude.
"Natalie, don't mention it, you've been through a lot during this time!"
Nathan was sleeping in the baby carriage.
Natalie turned to look at the small pine tree seedling outside.
This was no ordinary pine tree, but the best quality in the pine tree family, unlike other pines, this small pine seedling could grow up to sixteen meters tall.
Samuel wanted to give the baby a "companion" to grow up with.

It was well known that the Rosewood Estate did not welcome guests.
During Natalie's postpartum period, it was not suitable to entertain guests. Although Oliver could, he didn't like it!
So, during the month of postpartum, Natalie lived a very leisurely and comfortable life.
Every day, besides feeding Nathan, she actively worked on her body's recovery and postpartum nutrition.
When it was time, the nanny brought Nathan to the master bedroom for Natalie to feed.
Natalie took the child and sat on the sofa to feed.
The little one was tiny all over, with small hands and a small mouth, but when it came to nursing, he was particularly diligent, drinking milk with single-minded focus.
The sound of nursing was loud and clear.
Oliver came out of the study and saw Nathan was suckling on Natalie's breast, with his little hand still on Natalie's snowy white breast. So he furrowed his brow.
"Just eat, but you're quite active." He said, removing Nathan's hand.
In less than two seconds, Nathan's little hand went back to its place, as if protecting his food.
Oliver reluctantly pulled it away again.
Nathan put it back.
Since repeated two or three times, the little baby who was nursing peacefully, making struggling sounds as if accusing, usually fall asleep while feeding.
When Nathan's little hand went back, he started to focus on nursing again.
Nathan was very well-behaved, not crying even when being teased by Oliver, saving Natalie and the nannies a lot of energy.
When Oliver tried to grab Nathan's hand again, Natalie stopped him.
"What are you doing? Don't disturb Nathan." Natalie lowered her voice, so as not to disturb Nathan.
Oliver who was displeased, pointed at Natalie's breast, very domineering and assertive, saying, "Mine."
