The three kids got along well all afternoon.
The only thing that was not harmonious was that Stella was forcibly carried back to the ward by Clarence.
She muttered in annoyance, "What are you doing?"
"The doctor said that you should lie down and rest."
The words Stella had heard him say the most in the past few days was, "The doctor said."
After being placed on the bed, she said, "I haven't seen you so obedient to the doctor before."
Clarence raised his eyebrows, "It depends on the situation."
At this time, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and went out of the ward.
Stella was half leaning on the bed, bored with her book.
Not long after, her phone also vibrated.
It was William.
Stella picked up, "Dad."
"How are you recovering?"
It was always Clarence who answered William's call.
This was the first time they had talked on the phone since she had given birth.
"Quite well. I've been able to get out of bed today."
"I bought you some nutritional food. It will be delivered tomorrow."
William had said he would come back earlier, but Stella stopped him.
Many people took care of her, whereas he had only Chan by his side.
Stella nodded gently and said tentatively, "Are you okay with Chan?"
William smiled, "The same as usual, spending more time at school. Don't worry. He's doing well, and his tutors value him."
Stella showed a smile.
William added, " I'm sorry I can't be with you. Tell me if there's anything you need."
"I'm fine, dad. I have Clarence, his mother, and Sherry around me. I'm happy. I will be here, waiting for you and Chan to come back together."
It was her only wish now.
When Clarence returned, Stella hung up just in time.
He walked over, "Who called?"
"My dad." Stella looked at him, "I just checked the call log. Did Chan call me too?"
"Yes. He called you when you were in the operating room and another when you were sleeping the day before yesterday."
Although Stella hadn't done anything these days, she felt busy and dizzy. She was about to dial Channing back when Clarence said, "Wait, let me tell you something first."
"Go ahead."
"Tomorrow, we'll be discharged and go to the post-pregnancy center."
Stella frowned, " We agreed not to go."
They hadn't been unified about it since before they had the baby.
Stella wanted to stay here with Noah, but Clarence wanted her to go to the post-pregnancy center to get comprehensive care and nutrition.
Clarence whispered, "I'm here."
"You have to go to the company, and then you'll have to rush about to the center and hospital. It will be very tiring."
Clarence laughed silently, "Make it up to me since you know I'm tired."
Stella felt speechless.
He always could deflect the subject.
There was a knock when Stella wanted to say something else.
"It's decided."
