Chapter 648
“Thanking others is a good virtue, it’s what elementary school teachers teach.”
Zachary had been somewhat impatient and even a bit annoyed by her incessant messages and provocations.
But since that day at the airport, he felt quite uncomfortable about their interactions.
Yet he hadn’t found the opportunity to sit down and talk with her properly.
Once Charlotte gave birth, he would need to make time for that.
“Why hasn’t she come out yet?”
Frank was pulling at his own hair in frustration.
Seeing him pull out a lighter, Alan quickly stopped him.
“Frank, your sister–in–law hasn’t been inside for long. Giving birth isn’t like buying something, be patient. Ms. Jackson is in there with her, so she’ll be fine. Don’t scare yourself.”
“If the baby comes out and you smell like smoke, you’ll choke her.”
Frank hadn’t caught much of what was said earlier, but he did hear that last part.
He tossed the lighter into his pocket and found a reflective surface to tidy up his hair and collar.
But as time passed, he had no mind to worry about such things.
No matter how much Alan tried to persuade him, it was useless.
“Mr. Smith, congratulations!”
Fortunately, just as Frank was about to lose it, the doctor came out of the delivery room to announce, The mother and baby are safe!”
Frank finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Where’s my wife?”
“She’s coming out.”
Yasmin emerged with the bed and said, “She’s too tired and fell asleep.”
Frank took over the portable hospital bed.
Yasmin looked at him. “Did you see the baby?”
Frank hadn’t thought of it until Yasmin reminded him to check.
Jane had already gone over to the nurse holding the baby.
“Why does she look a bit ugly?”
Frank was displeased, but when he walked over to look, he had to admit it was true…
But he naturally wouldn’t admit it. “How could my daughter possibly be ugly?”
Jane wouldn’t argue with him on this. “Of course, your and Charlotte’s child is the most beautiful in the

world.”
Frank felt satisfied. He said to Yasmin, “Mom, you watch the baby. I’ll take Charlotte to the ward to rest.”
After Yasmin returned, Frank naturally changed his words.
When he asked, he found out that Charlotte had proposed to him.
She looked just like a peacock spreading its tail.
Seeing them happy together, she let it be.
“Okay.”
When I woke up, my first instinct was to touch my belly.
This had become a habit during this time.
Especially since this child had been through so much with me.
I always needed to confirm that she was still there.
But today, my belly felt flat, and I was startled upright. “My child!”
