Ella laid on the ward bed in silence. She heard what Samuel said, but she did not know how to react.
She could not hold her feelings in and a teardrop went down her cheek.
She was surely not asleep. Samuel wiped away her tear gently with his thumb.
"Ella, move in with me to my apartment when you are out of the hospital." He stroked on her cheeks with gentleness.
Ella slowly opened her eyes and looked confused. Was the man in front of her really Samuel? All these made her feel unreal.
But it was really Samuel...
What an unexpected turn of events! Samuel actually asked her to move in with him. Was it because "A son can make his mom honored?" That was all she could think of.
Samuel laughed and shook his head. "You think too much."
Ella slowly nodded her head. Now she could really be with Samuel. The thought made her smile happily.
For the moment, the unhappiness was gone and the ward ambiance was light and relaxed.
"Where is my baby?" Chuck only let her take a quick look and then the boy was taken away. The crib next to her bed was empty.
"He has been taken upstairs and is now getting a bath." The thought of his son made Samuel smile. His eyes were full of joy.
After a while, Melody came downstairs with the baby in her arms. She loved the boy so much that she had to hold him all the time.
She came to Ella directly and pushed Samuel out of the way and said cheerfully, "Look Ella, your baby son!"
Samuel looked at his grandma speechlessly. Why was he sidelined like that!
Ella looked at the baby sleeping soundly. She was glowing with motherly pride.
His little hands and his little face were just so adorable.
This was her son. Her son with Samuel. The sweet thought made her smile even happier.
Melody and Mrs.Qi were somehow no longer in the ward. The family of three were now enjoying their moment. ·
Samuel walked over and held up the other hand of the baby. His eyes were full of gentleness.
"What shall we name him?" It had never occurred to Ella till now. She was always by herself as Samuel was never there. She never thought of this question.
Now the baby was here. They must face the question now.
"Do you have anything suitable?" The baby was clinging onto Samuel's finger. His heart almost melted away. Samuel took out his cellphone and took some photos of his son.
Ella looked at Samuel as he was taking photos. At that very moment, she was truly happy.
"I don't know yet. Samuel, please name him." Their son named by him. How wonderful!
Samuel put away the cellphone and thought for while and then he said," I want him to grow up healthy and happy. Let's name him Jerry."
Jerry Shao? Ella paused a little and then she heard him saying, "Yes, Jerry Shao!"
