“Annabeth,” Sharon Lindt paused, watching Annabeth Cates with an affectionate look on her face.
“Yes, Mom, go on,” Annabeth said curiously.
“Thank you for giving us such an adorable granddaughter. You’ve contributed a lot to our family,” she went on earnestly.
Perhaps she had too many sons herself, hence she'd always preferred girls.
She was very happy to have so many granddaughters now.
“Mom, your family has been so good to me. It’s only right that I offer you grandchildren in return,” Annabeth told her.
“We’ve all witnessed how much you've suffered. We’ll treat you even better from now on,” she stated.
“You’ve already been good enough to me. I don't think you have to do more.”
“That won’t do. We can always do more,” she insisted, making Annabeth laugh.
Shortly after, Josh Batton finished preparing the bottle for Candice Batton, so he went to carry her into his arms and started to feed her on the couch.
Meanwhile, Sharon went to get some water to wipe Annabeth’s face and body before helping to brush her teeth and into a change of clothes.
After making sure that the young mother was comfortable, she entered the bathroom to refresh herself.
Then, she returned to Annabeth’s side and started chatting with her.
On the other side, Josh was carefully feeding his daughter.
She must have been hungry, as she drank very quickly.
