On the contrary, Amber was speechless to see all the gifts she had hidden away being brought out. Tessa’s hesitant voice entered her ears, “What are these?”
“I heard that you just gave birth. Since there are no other elders in the Reinhart Family, these gifts are to represent the Reinhart Family’s goodwill toward the children.” After a brief pause, she eventually decided to face Tessa and come clean about the reason for her visit. She inhaled deeply, then continued, “I know you think nothing of these gifts. If you don’t like them, you can throw them away. In any case, I have always been nothing more than a hateful old woman in your eyes.”
Once she said that, she immediately turned around and left the hospital ward without waiting to see the expression on Tessa’s face.
Tessa stared at Amber’s departing figure in a daze. When the reality of the situation finally sank in, she was struck by a growing mixture of astonishment and confusion. That was because the fact that the old lady would prepare gifts for the children had never even occurred to her.
At this moment, she was at such a loss for words that she instinctively glanced at Nicholas. He was holding a gold bracelet in his hands, but the situation had surprised him just as it did her.
Meanwhile, Gregory stood by the side of the room. Although his eyes were darting around the room curiously, he remained well-behaved and quiet the entire time.
A blanket of silence abruptly fell over the hospital room. It was not until Timothy and Kieran entered the ward that the silence was broken.
Timothy had initially planned to return to work, but he received a phone call from Kieran on the way back. In the end, he was forcefully dragged to the hospital again..
In Kieran’s words, he refused to visit the hospital on his lonesome and had to suffer watching the couple’s lovey-dovey interactions all on his own. Therefore, he needed to bring a companion with him..
When the two men entered the hospital ward, they immediately sensed the strange atmosphere in the air.
“Nicholas, Tessa. Why are you in such a daze? Did something happen?” Kieran swept a questioning glance at Nicholas and Tessa. Then, his gaze landed on the gold bracelet in Nicholas’ hand. His eyes immediately lit up at the sight. “Wow! Is that a custom-made bracelet for my little nephew? It’s so pretty!”
Timothy took a look at the gold bracelet and nodded in agreement. “It’s beautiful. Speaking of which, I have yet to prepare a welcoming gift for Gordon even though I am his uncle.”
