Henry Armstrong’s mother scratched her head with a troubled expression. “Hmm, I think he said Georgie worked too hard during her pregnancy. Maybe that’s why this happened.”
She frowned slightly. “She still couldn't stay away from work despite becoming pregnant. It’s admirable for young people to want to work hard, but she really should have cut back after becoming pregnant. I remember Henry telling me that her job wasn’t all that difficult.”
“He must’ve lied to us so that we wouldn’t worry,” her husband told her, both feeling uneasy as they discussed it.
It wasn’t because their son lied to them, but rather because they felt sorry for Georgie Clementine.
Neither of them approved of Georgie at first and would always hope they would split up. But then they began to understand her better after spending more time with her.
They gradually discovered what a great person she was, by being a capable, pretty, ambitious, and humble woman.
Georgie never had ulterior motives by being with Henry, and she never wanted anything from the Armstrong family.
She was a genuine person despite being slightly quick-tempered. Besides, she also treated them well.
“I must have a proper conversation with Georgie tonight. She mustn’t work so hard in the future,” Henry’s father said with a stern expression.
His wife nodded. “Let’s go. Let's not talk about this now and get to the hospital first.”
Later, they packed some food and fruits for their son and daughter-in-law before heading out.
The younger couple were chatting when they arrived at the ward, with Georgie leaning against the head of the bed as she munched on an apple.
She instantly clambered to get out of bed when she saw his parents, prompting his mother to step forward to stop her.
“What are you doing? You’re not supposed to be out of bed at a time like this.”
