Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 897

Chapter 897 She's the One who cannot Escape the Blame

Due to Casey's premature birth, the Hayden family was caught off guard. She had planned to go to a postpartum center but ended up giving birth and recovering at home. The baby was a girl, skinny and only weighed three pounds and seven ounces. When she was born, she didn't even cry, which scared everyone.
Fortunately, during the delivery, Averi and Matilda contacted Tony who brought everything they needed over right away. The baby was immediately placed in an incubator.
Casey's condition wasn't good. She had excessive bleeding and fainted during labor. After more than 20 hours of chaos, the Hayden family finally regained its composure.
Aimee collapsed from exhaustion this time for real. Patrick stayed with Aimee while Kelvin watched over Casey and the baby. Others were busy handling Camdyn's affairs.
Everyone was too busy dealing with unexpected events that they couldn't spare any emotions for mourning or joyfulness. They were all handling various emergencies while keeping the lights on in the house.
Aimee slept for two hours but woke up frequently worrying about Casey and her child. Patrick felt heartbroken but also worried at this moment. He couldn't help it.
Aimee went into Casey's room where Kelvin was watching over them both. "Kelvin, you should take a nap too so you can recharge your energy. I'll watch over here."
This time Kelvin didn't argue with Aimee because he knew neither of them could afford to fall down right now. "Okay," he nodded his head before saying, "I'll leave it to you."
"Don't worry," said Aimee reassuringly as she added, "I'm feeling better now."
When dawn broke out, Casey woke up from her sleep after having undergone cesarean section surgery. That left her feeling sore all over her body due to being cut open by a knife blade.
As soon as Casey saw Aimee sitting beside her bed, she began sobbing uncontrollably herself as if blaming herself for causing Grandpa's death due to giving birth to the baby...
"Don't say such things!" scolded Aimee sternly. She knew full well that it wasn't true what Casey thought about herself taking responsibility when there really wasn't any need for self-blame here!
"It's just a coincidence," continued Aimee, trying hard not let things get worse than they already were before adding firmly, "You're just too sad right now, which is why you gave birth prematurely. Don't blame yourself!"
"But Aimee," Casey's eyes went red, "I'm afraid the baby will grow up and they'll call her a bane."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Aimee pretended to be angry, "Who dares!"
Casey whimpered. It wasn't her own thought, but something she had just dreamed about.
In her dram, no one welcomed the birth of her child, and no one was happy when her child was born. They all said that it was because of this child that her grandfather died.
Aimee said, "Casey, listen to me, what happened to grandpa is something we don't want to, but grandpa is old, you know?"
Casey nodded, still crying.
There was a voice in her head tearing at her, making it impossible for her not to care about it at all.
Aimee added, "The baby was born at this time. It is a gift from grandpa. Casey, we should all thank grandpa, right?"
"Is that so?" Casey looked at Aimee with teary eyes, not sure if she should accept this statement.
Aimee said, "That's it, Casey. Don't be too sad, and don't take the responsibility on yourself."
What Aimee didn't say was that she was the one who needed to take responsibility herself.
It was because of the rumors about her that grandpa was so angry and fell down the stairs, which caused today's tragedy.
If she was to be held accountable, she was the one who could hardly escape the blame.
