Sunny rushed over to Sophie, his heart aching at the sight of her frail appearance.
“Sophie, giving birth must have been so tough on you. Are you feeling exhausted?” he asked with genuine concern.
Sophie let out a soft chuckle. It was true that giving birth had been an exhausting and painful experience, but amidst it all, she felt an overwhelming sense of bliss.
“Sunny, I feel incredibly blissful at this moment,” she shared. The sight of her chubby son filled her heart with the profound belief that every sacrifice she had made was undeniably worth it.
“Mm. Sophic, you’ll be a great mother, Sunny agreed. He knew she would do a great job.
After a while, William arrived with an array of carefully prepared food that he had requested the housekeeper to make for Sophie.
These specially chosen dishes were known to be beneficial in increasing breast milk production. Sophie didn’t have a mother-in-law, but William was determined to fill that role as well.
“Sophic, Tristan’s mother passed away when he was young, leaving you without help and support during your pregnancy. But I promise you, I will do my utmost to offer you the same level of care and support that a devoted mother-in-law would,” William vowed, his eyes welling up with tears. He knew that if his wife were still alive, she would be overjoyed to see their grandchild.
“Dad, you don’t have to go through all this trouble. Tristan and Sarah are already taking good care of me. Besides, you’re not young anymore, so it would be better for you to stay at home instead of making the long journey to the hospital.”
“It’s fine. I want to visit my grandson, anyway.” It had been a while since the Lombard family last welcomed a new life.
“Okay. You should go take a look at him,” Sophie told him. After reaching the ward, William made his way directly to Sophie’s side, so he had yet to lay eyes on the baby.
Sarah helped William over to the crib.
“Dad, look! The baby resembles Tristan when he was young. They truly are like two peas in a pod!” Sarah exclaimed with excitement.
William shifted his gaze toward the baby, who happened to be awake. The baby’s eyes bore a remarkable resemblance to Tristan’s.
A gentle smile adorned William’s lips as he gazed at the baby with deep affection.
This is the newest member of our family. As the youngest addition to our family, everyone will surely shower him with love and affection.
“Have you given any thought to his name?” William inquired. He wanted to ensure that they selected a name that would be fitting and meaningful for their newest family member.
“Dad, you should name the baby. You’re his grandpa, so it’s only appropriate for you to give him a name,” Sophie responded. She knew William had been eager to welcome the baby, so it felt right to have him take on the responsibility of naming their newest family member.
“Me?” William gazed at Tristan in surprise. He assumed the parents would want to name their baby themselves.
“Yeah, Dad. You’ll do a great job!” Tristan chimed in. He was too lazy to figure out a name for his son as it was a complicated process.
“Okay, since you want me to name the boy, I’ll go through the dictionary when I get back home,” William agreed.
He had already brainstormed a few names prior to this, but none of them felt quite perfect.
Nevertheless, he was determined to find an exceptional name for his grandson.
“Sure.”
Sophie recognized the significance of keeping older individuals engaged and active as a means to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
Right then, the baby began to sob. Sarah picked him up and brought him to Sophie so she could breastfeed the baby.
William, Mark, and the other men left the ward so Sophie could breastfeed in peace.
