Hearing the footsteps, Violet knew that Stanley had come in. She hurriedly turned around with Jimmy in her arms, saying to Stanley excitedly.
Stanley walked over, stood with her, looked down at Jimmy in her arms, and said softly, "I see, Jimmy did smile."
"Mommy, Mommy." Arya jumped twice at Stanley's feet, then raised her little hand and said, "Mommy, I also know that my brother can smile. When we came here just now, my brother smiled in the car."
"It's true. I also saw it." Arya nodded and agreed.
Stanley stretched out his hand and tapped Jimmy's little face with his index finger, "Yeah. When we first got here, Jimmy woke up in my arms and smiled. I thought that he might know you were here, so he woke up specially to see you and smile at you."
"Well, Jimmy, you are so kind. I love you." Violet looked at Jimmy with more surprise and joy after listening to the words of the two children. Then she lowered her head and kissed Jimmy again.
Jimmy laughed again, giggling.
The baby's tender laughter resounded in the room, making the atmosphere of the room extra warm.
Stanley poked Jimmy's face again.
The skin of the child was tender. His face was soft.
Therefore, in the past two days, Stanley poked him from time to time.
Jimmy seemed a little impatient to be poked by Stanley, and actually moved a small hand to hold his index finger.
The baby's soft and warm little hand wrapped Stanley's index finger, which made him feel so surprised. At the same time, it softened his heart even more.
"Jimmy is holding my finger." Stanley looked at Violet and said with a smile.
Violet nodded, "Yeah, Jimmy likes Daddy. That's why he held Daddy's finger, right?"
Jimmy couldn't understand what the adults were saying. He could only spit bubbles twice, as if responding.
Seeing this, Violet and Stanley looked at each other and smiled again.
At this time, the two children beside the crib pulled Violet's clothes, "Mommy, Mommy, take Jimmy down a little bit. We also want to see him. You are too tall. I can't even see him."
"Yes, Mommy." Calvin also agreed.
Violet chuckled, "Okay, just hold Jimmy down a little bit."
Seeing the two children liked Jimmy so much, Violet was happy.
As long as the two children liked Jimmy, Violet didn't have to worry that there would be conflicts between the three children.
To put it selfishly, Jimmy was not in good health, so she would definitely spend more time on Jimmy in the future than her two other children.
Of course, she would make this point clear to the two children, so that they could understand it.
Only when the two children understood, she didn't have to worry that they would lose their temper and dislike Jimmy because she spent more time on Jimmy.
Violet bent down a little so that the two children could see Jimmy.
The two children lowered their heads, looked at the swaddling baby, and laughed happily.
"Mommy, my brother is spitting bubbles. He’s so cute." Arya said while touching Jimmy's little face.
Calvin also nodded quickly, "Yes, and my brother doesn't cry or make trouble. He’s a good boy. Tommy is two years old, but he still cries all day long. It's not pleasing at all. I don't like crying children. I like my brother.”
Saying that, he held Jimmy's little hand and shook hands with Jimmy.
Of course, Violet understood what he meant. She rolled her eyes and poked him with her elbow. "The children are still here. What are you talking about?"
"My voice is so low that they can't hear me." Stanley took her hand and looked at her elbow. "Does it hurt?"
Seeing that he cared about her, Violet was speechless, "Of course I don't hurt, what about you? Did I hurt you?"
"No." Stanley shook his head.
He was a man. Of course he could endure this pain.
Besides, it was his wife's love for him. He must bear it.
"Okay, at night, I can satisfy you with whatever you want, okay?" Violet looked at the three children. Seeing that the three children were really not paying attention to her, she stood on tiptoe and said in his ears.
Stanley's eyes brightened up instantly. He cleared his throat lightly. His voice was much hoarse, "Okay, deal."
"Yes." Violet nodded, "You brought Jimmy here and gave me such a big surprise. This is my reward for you."
Stanley's Adam's apple slipped and his voice became hoarse, "Violet, you are so kind."
"Okay, you'd better answer me first. Isn't Jimmy going to be discharged from the hospital next month? Why did he leave the hospital so long in advance?" Violet frowned and wondered, "Was it the arrangement of the hospital or your idea that Jimmy left the hospital so early?"
"Of course it's the hospital." Stanley put his arm around her shoulder and answered her, "Don't worry. It's about the health of the child. Of course I won't mess around."
Violet breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine. But is it really okay for Jimmy to leave the hospital so early?"
She was a little worried.
