Hearing Quincy’s cries, Luca also came upstairs.
He trotted to Abel’s room, and he saw him totally exhausted.
“Mr. Abel,” Luca almost teared up seeing him like this, and he asked, “Did you not sleep for the whole night?”
“I’m fine.” He answered shortly.
Kendra carried Quincy while she held the milk powder and milk bottle. She then put the things on the table, and then she handed Quincy to Abel. He carried the baby with one hand, and he used another to make the milk.
Kendra turned and walked down the stairs to make some soup.
Luca was taken aback, and then he opened his arms and said, “Mr. Abel, do you want me to carry the baby?”
“I can do it myself.” Abel answered calmly.
“Do you need me to make the milk?”
“You don’t know how to.”
“Then…”
“Don’t you worry,” Abel said. “I saw Emma feeding Quincy before; I know how to do it.”
Luca was about to cry. So this is how Mr. Abel is remembering Emmeline.
Luca stopped talking and stood quietly at the side.
After pouring out the warm water, Abel put in the milk powder and shook the milk bottle. And he dropped the milk on his hand to test the temperature. The temperature was just nice.
