Old Lady Mrs. Knox placed the invitation in Aria Richardson’s hand.
Aria Richardson glanced at it, "Grandma Knox, this isn’t necessary."
"Don’t stay cooped up at ho if you’re in a bad mood. Get out and about, and you’ll naturally feel better," Old Lady Mrs. Knox advised.
Miac Richardson nodded in agreent, "Old Lady Mrs. Knox is right, you should keep it."
Aria Richardson couldn’t refuse further, so she accepted it for now.
"I ca today just to say this." Old Lady Mrs. Knox patted Aria Richardson’s hand, "Aria, Grandma truly likes you very much. If there’s still room for reconciliation between you and Alexander, Grandma hopes you could beco her granddaughter-in-law. Please consider it carefully."
Old Lady Mrs. Knox reiterated this sentint, gazing at Aria Richardson with love and sincerity in her eyes.
After speaking, Old Lady Mrs. Knox waved to the servant accompanying her, who then ca to the back of her wheelchair.
Old Lady Mrs. Knox said, "Alright, I’ll be leaving now."
Aria Richardson and the others stood up as well, Isla Sue said, "It’s late, we won’t keep you. Be careful on your way back."
"Yes, no need to see off. You all should go back soon."
Miac Richardson withdrew his gaze and looked at Aria Richardson, "Aria..."
Just as Miac Richardson spoke, Aria Richardson ignored him and directly turned to go upstairs.
Miac Richardson’s face darkened, he then looked at Isla Sue, who similarly did not want to engage with him and turned away.
Miac Richardson stood there, opened his mouth, but couldn’t say a single word.
Lewis Family.
Hope Williams returned ho to find Alitzel Williams holding Baby in the living room. Luke and Willow were lying nearby, watching Baby. They occasionally touched Baby’s little face, fearing they’d hurt him, thus being extra cautious. Hope Williams watched this warm scene, feeling a glow in her heart.
Hope Williams previously feared that because Baby was young, the family’s attention would shift more towards Baby, creating a sense of disparity for Luke and Willow.
But now she found her concerns were unfounded. Despite everyone’s adoration for Baby, their love for Luke and Willow had not diminished at all, and Luke and Willow also showed great affection for their new little brother.
Hope Williams smiled and walked over, "Mom."
"Little Hope, you’re back."
Luke and Willow happily rushed towards Hope Williams, "Mommy, you’re back, work must have been tiring."
Hope Williams bent down and patted Luke and Willow’s little heads, giving each a kiss, "With these words from Luke and Willow, Mommy doesn’t feel tired at all."
Hope Williams leaned over to glance at Baby, then took off her coat and reached out to hold Baby, "Mom, let hold him."
"Alright."
Hope Williams took Baby with a gentle smile, "Baby, Mommy’s holding you."
Baby lifted his small hand, slowly grabbing Hope Williams’s hair, giggling at her.
Watching this made Hope Williams feel her heart lt.
Such a small baby changes daily, especially Baby, who under everyone’s careful nurturing, had a round, plump little face, irresistibly charming enough to kiss.
A maid ca to remind them that dinner could be served. Hope Williams looked at the clock, noting it was nearly six o’clock, but Waylon Lewis hadn’t returned yet.
Usually, he ca back by five at the latest. Hope Williams placed Baby in a cradle, gently rocking it with one hand while dialing Waylon Lewis’s number on her phone with the other.
There was no answer, and despite redialing twice, there was still no response, so she had to call Thomas Hughes.
Thomas Hughes answered quickly, "Madam."
"Assistant Hughes, is Waylon Lewis still at the company?"
Thomas Hughes paused for two seconds, seemingly considering how to respond to Hope Williams’s question. Just as Hope Williams was puzzled, Thomas Hughes replied, "The Boss is busy."
Hope Williams raised an eyebrow, sensing Thomas Hughes’s voice was oddly peculiar, and the background noise was exceptionally loud, "Assistant Hughes, is everything okay?"
"I’m fine, Madam. Do you have anything else? If not, I’ll hang up now."
Hope Williams pursed her lips, realizing she couldn’t extract more information from Thomas Hughes, so she gave up, "Nothing else, just tell Waylon to co ho early."
"Alright, Madam, I will certainly convey your ssage."
Hope Williams hung up the phone, not knowing what they were up to, so she went to have dinner first.
Luke and Willow supported Wyatt Lewis on each side, helping him downstairs for dinner.
Normally, Wyatt Lewis adored the two of them so much. Now they took great care of Wyatt Lewis, pushing their chairs next to his and standing on them, holding their little bowls to feed him bite by bite.
However, their love was so overwhelming that Wyatt Lewis struggled to keep up, his mouth never stopping.
Mr. Lewis watched this scene and laughed heartily.
Around nine o’clock, Hope Williams put Luke and Willow to sleep and carried the equally sleeping Baby back to his room, soothing him with gentle pats.
Since detoxifying, while Hope Williams claid her health hadn’t changed much, it was just a facade—her physical condition deteriorated significantly. She was especially prone to sleeping, frequently feeling drowsy, seemingly able to sleep even more than Baby.
At that mont, the door was softly pushed open, and a tall, slender figure quietly entered.
With the night light on, Waylon Lewis saw Hope Williams and Baby already asleep on the bed, his gaze softened.
He tossed his coat aside and went over to tuck them in. Originally intending to kiss Hope Williams, he considered his sweaty state today and headed to the bathroom for a shower first.
After showering, Waylon Lewis bent down, gently picked up the sleeping Baby, and placed him in the crib beside them.
Noticing the movent nearby, Hope Williams slowly opened her eyes, seeing a figure climb into the bed.
Slling a familiar scent, Hope Williams instinctively snuggled into his embrace.
Waylon Lewis lowered his eyes, looking at the person in his arms, and whispered, "Did I wake you?"
Hope Williams shook her head, "Where did you go today?"
Waylon Lewis paused, his husky voice replied, "Busy at the company with etings."
Hope Williams was sowhat skeptical about the truth of this statent, "Then why was your phone unreachable?"
Usually Waylon Lewis would never miss her calls, no matter how busy.
"The phone wasn’t with , sorry."
Hope Williams pursed her lips, reluctantly accepting this explanation.
Waylon Lewis lightly ruffled her hair, "Is the surgery tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Then let’s sleep early."
Hope Williams moved slightly and nodded.
The next day.
Old Lady Taylor’s surgery was scheduled for eight in the morning, so Hope Williams had to get up early to go to the hospital.
Alitzel Williams knew Hope Williams and Waylon Lewis were busy and had never let them worry about Baby’s care.
Outside the operating room.
Anthony Taylor had a serious expression as he looked at Hope Williams, "I’ll leave my grandmother to you."
Hope Williams nodded, "Don’t worry."
After speaking, Hope Williams entered the operating room.
Anthony Taylor and Daniel Johnson stood at the operating room door, Daniel Johnson sighed anxiously.
Anthony Taylor, feeling confused by him, glanced over, "My grandma just went in, why are you sighing?"
Daniel Johnson gazed at the closed operating room door, "I’m nervous."
Anthony Taylor chuckled, "Previously, didn’t you say she’s absolutely a miracle worker in heart issues? Why are you nervous with her around?"
Daniel Johnson said, "Yes, I’m nervous about her. It’s a major operation, exhausting, I wonder if her body can sustain it."
Anthony Taylor furrowed his brows in concern, "What do you an?"
Daniel Johnson frowned, "I told you before, her body suffered severely from poisoning. She simply can’t endure fatigue. Do you think I was joking with you before?"
Anthony Taylor’s eyes darkened, his tone deepened slightly, "Why didn’t you ntion this earlier? The surgery has started, and now you’re playing dumb?"
Daniel Johnson pouted, feeling aggrieved, he was almost ready to hang around them telling this.
Daniel Johnson stood pitifully to one side, recalling sothing and asked, "By the way, did you later send soone to find that elder I ntioned before? He might have a way to heal Miss Williams."
Anthony Taylor felt a bit troubled now, "We searched."
Daniel Johnson’s eyes brightened, "What was the result?"
