Chapter 1871

[ 691 words ]

“I got into a minor car accident and I’m at the hospital recovering from the shock.”

Claire said it casually.

Edison remained silent.

Jenny remembered something. “The last time you were at the hospital recovering from shock, it was because you were kidnapped, right?”

“Don’t tell me this car crash was orchestrated too?”

Jenny’s guess was spot on. Having known each other for years and sharing a mutual respect, they truly understood one another.

The more Claire downplayed it, the more serious the situation likely was.

“Orchestrated or not, all that matters is that I’m fine now.”

Claire didn’t want to elaborate.

Edison seemed to realize something and didn’t press further.

“You need to pay attention to your own safety. It’s best if you stay on campus, and move into your grandfather’s house during the holidays.”

“It’s safer at your grandfather’s place.”

“Pandora went to Cabinda too, so you could stay with her.”

Although The James Family wasn’t based in Cabinda and didn’t have deep roots

there, Pandora had brought two bodyguards along.

They were top-tier experts trained by the family. The two of them could easily handle seven or eight attackers without breaking a sweat.

In a critical moment, they could risk their lives to save her.

Of course, Edison didn’t actually want the younger generation of the family risking their lives for the head of the household. His main goal was simply to add an extra layer of protection for Claire.

Claire acknowledged his advice. “You two hurry up and get ready for the delivery. Don’t worry about me.”

“Send a picture to let me know everything is safe after the baby is born.”

Alright then. A nurse outside was calling Jenny’s name, telling her to head to the delivery room.

Jenny didn’t have time to keep video chatting with Claire and hung up.

Edison’s grandmother was too old to come to the hospital. Accompanying them were Patti and an auntie from the village who worked as a maternity nurse.

This auntie had been working as a maternity nurse for five or six years, doing a stellar job with a great reputation. She had clients booked solid all year round.

She only insisted on not taking jobs during the holidays so she could go home, otherwise she might have worked 365 days a year.

Edison had made an agreement with her when he first got married, hiring her to take care of his wife postpartum, which was why she had specifically cleared her schedule for this time.

She had blocked out three whole months, terrified that Edison’s wife wouldn’t recover well.

As for Patti, being a senior family member, she was more than willing to help take care of the younger wife.

After all, Edison was the youngest. When she married into the family Edison was still a child. Now that he was finally willing to get married and have kids, Patti was thrilled.

Besides, her own son refused to settle down, so she figured she might as well practice by taking care of Edison’s wife first.

Jenny went into the delivery room, and Edison went in to support her during the birth.

Patti and the auntie chatted outside.

“Edison’s wife is mixed-race, so the baby they have will probably be gorgeous.”

“I bet this baby will be the most beautiful one I’ve taken care of in years.”

The auntie was highly experienced. Just looking at Jenny and Edison’s features, she knew their child would be stunning.

“Edison’s hands were shaking when

he went in just now. That guy has been excellent at everything, since he was little, but I never expected him to get so nervous over his wife giving birth.”

Patti didn’t really care how the baby looked; health was all that mattered.

But when the baby was finally brought out, the little guy instantly melted her heart.

Curly hair, luminous skin, chubby little cheeks, weighing seven pounds, and eyes just like his mother’s-sparkling like gemstones, absolutely beautiful.

Edison took a picture and sent it to the family group chat, immediately receiving a wave of congratulations.

He also sent one privately to Claire.

Claire transferred a massive sum of money, a tens of thousands of dollars nest egg, wishing the little girl all the best.

“It’s a girl, right?” Being so beautiful, it had to be a girl.

The smile on Edison’s face froze, and he replied-It’s Elias.
