Because they didn't want Jimmy to return home without seeing her mom and dad and without a welcome from them.
Even though Jimmy might not know anything, they should care about that.
That was why Jimmy was told to delay his return.
As for how long the delay would be, Violet and Stanley didn't discuss it specifically at that time.
Unexpectedly, Stanley gave her a surprise and had already arranged for Jimmy to return.
Thinking of this, Violet held the formalities, her eyes were red, and she could not hide her excitement as she looked at the man, "Honey, when did you ......"
Knowing what she wanted to ask, Stanley gently hugged her back, "Yesterday morning, I asked the foreign side to send Jimmy back, and at four o'clock this afternoon, Jimmy arrived, and when he arrived, he was transferred here in time, because Jimmy still can't get out of the incubator right now."
"So that's how it is." Violet nodded her head, indicating that she knew.
Arrangements were made yesterday for Jimmy to return home, and she arrived today.
He had really kept it tightly under wraps and hadn't even told her.
Seeming to see the thoughts in Violet's heart, Stanley raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears, "I'm sorry, I wanted to give you a surprise."
"It is indeed a surprise." Violet broke into a smile, "Jimmy's return is what makes me the happiest and most joyful, thank you."
She flung herself into the man's arms and hugged him tightly.
The man also wrapped his arms around her waist and stroked her hair, gently soothing her, "No need to thank me, Jimmy is my child too, these are the things I should do."
Next to them, the two children saw their daddy and mommy hugging each other and heard what was going on.
Arya shouted and looked at Calvin and asked in a small voice, "Brother, do Daddy and Mommy mean that brother is back?"
Calvin nodded heavily, and his two little hands clasped together, his face hard to hide his happiness, "Yes, brother is back, right inside."
When Daddy picked them up at the casual gym, he said he was going to take them somewhere and surprise them and Mommy.
At that moment, he guessed it must have something to do with Jimmy.
Because the only thing that qualified as a surprise to Mommy was Jimmy.
"Great." Arya clapped her hands and jumped for joy when she heard Calvin's answer, "Brother is back, I can see brother now."
"Yeah." Calvin nodded.
Violet and Stanley heard the two children's words and let go of each other.
Violet backed out of Stanley's arms and looked up at him, "Honey, let's go inside, I want to see Jimmy too."
She had only seen Jimmy in person once since he was born and rushed back to the country to find Stanley.
She hadn't seen Jimmy in person since then, only from cell phone videos.
But seeing him on video was ultimately not as exciting as seeing him in person.
So now, all she wanted was to see Jimmy soon, the little boy she was most sorry for.
"Go." Stanley took her hand and nodded before leading her towards the hospital's main entrance.
The two children also followed hand in hand.
Soon the family of four met with a doctor.
That doctor Violet had seen and was familiar with was the one Stanley had arranged to be in charge of her maternity checkups abroad when she was pregnant with Jimmy.
After giving birth to Jimmy, this doctor, naturally, became Jimmy's primary doctor, who had been taking care of Jimmy abroad, and usually when she saw Jimmy by video, it was this doctor who sent it.
