Rose's health wasn't the best and she needed someone by her side to take care of her.
Knowing Sonia's concern, Mary was about to say something when Toby beat her to it. "Don't worry, I'll ask Olivia to take care of Grandma while Madam Mary stays here to take care of you. This makes me more assured."
Mary nodded in agreement. "Yes, Young Mistress Sonia, that's what's on my mind as well. Olivia is also at the mansion, anyway. Although she's usually only working in the kitchen, she used to take care of Old Mrs. Fuller together with me in the past. But because she's a good cook, she asked to work in the kitchen to specially cook for Old Mrs. Fuller. She still has what it takes to take care of Old Mrs. Fuller, no doubt. So, there's nothing to worry about."
Hearing that from both of them, Sonia felt more relaxed and smiled at Mary. "Okay, I'll have to trouble you after this, Madam Mary."
"Don't mention it." Chuckling, Mary said, "All of us wish for you to be well and have a smooth delivery. Alright, I'm going to tell this to Old Mrs. Fuller first."
"Let me do it." Toby took out his cell phone. "For something like this, it's better for me as the husband to do it. Please prepare something that Little Leaf can eat during this period, Madam Mary. She hasn't eaten much yet today."
He had prepared a lot of food for her and used all sorts of tricks and methods just to make her eat something. However, every time she ate, she would feel uneasy, so she hadn't eaten much until now, not to mention that she had thrown up all that she ate.
It pained him to see her like this, but there was nothing he could do.
While she was a first-time mother, he was also a father for the first time.
The new parents didn't know a lot of things. Even if Mary didn't come over and offered to take care of her, he had planned to look for an experienced nanny to do the job.
With a professional around, all of them could sleep better at night.
But compared to outsiders, Toby preferred to have Mary at her side to take care of her. This way, he was more assured.
Upon hearing that Sonia hadn't eaten much, Mary became anxious and hurriedly answered, "Okay, okay, right away."
Then, she started to get busy, whereas Toby took a seat next to Sonia. Gently, he held her in his arms, dialed Rose's number, and told her about Mary staying behind to take care of Sonia.
When Rose found out that Sonia's condition was bad, she was very heartbroken, and upon learning that they would like to have Mary as help, she agreed without hesitation and even said that she wanted to send Olivia over as well, but Toby and Sonia turned her down in the end.
Mary was rich in experience. With both of them—her and Toby, who would visit frequently—that was more than enough to take care of Sonia.
Wouldn't it be a waste of talent if Olivia came over as well?
Moreover, there would be no one to take care of Rose if Olivia came over, which would worry Toby and Sonia.
In conclusion, one helper at each place was the best.
Seeing how determined the young couple was, Rose could only give up on her idea to send Olivia over. "If you need help, you must tell me, and don't hide it from me," she said afterward.
The couple didn't reject her this time and gave her their word.
After that, Rose shared a lot of information regarding pregnancy with Sonia, and from a person who knew nothing, she became a first-time mother with a little bit of knowledge.
At the same time, Toby also transformed.
Not only did he listen intently, but he also prepared a notebook, making notes while listening to Rose. Although the sight was amusing to Sonia, she felt warm in her chest.
But that wasn't the only thing that he did. Before Mary arrived, he had sent Tom to buy lots of books for a first-time father and pregnancy, all because he would like to prepare himself and be a good husband who could take care of his pregnant wife for the months when she was pregnant. Once the baby was born, he would like to be a good father who could take care of his child.
Truth be told, not many men could do this, and there were even more who couldn't care much from the beginning until the end.
