The mood in the ward suddenly became tense after the family discussion. They might have a solution for now, but it was still unsettling to know the baby had this particular blood type.
“All right, let’s not talk about this," Henry Armstrong's mother said. "What’s the child’s name? Have you thought of one?”
“I have a decent name in mind,” her husband told them, drawing the younger couple's curious gazes.
Henry and Georgie Clementine had come up with the baby’s name long ago, but they still wanted to hear his suggestion if he had one.
It would be meaningful to use his suggested name if they all liked it. He would surely be happy with that.
“What do you think about the name Landon Armstrong?”
“Not bad," Henry's mother said thoughtfully. "If they have a daughter in the future, we can call her Melinda. Landon and Melinda are such beautiful names.”
Georgie and Henry both liked the name more than their initial choice.
“Okay, I like it. Let’s go with Landon,” Georgie instantly said after hearing the suggestion.
Her husband nodded, too. “I agree, but forget about having a granddaughter. We aren't planning to have any more children.”
“Why?” his mother instantly questioned.
“I don’t want my wife to go through such pain again,” he answered truthfully. “I don’t want her to experience the same thing twice.”
She was never against having a second child before this but now found herself resisting the idea after suffering through the labor pain once.
She was already planning to break the news to her husband after some time. She intended to stand by her decision not to have another child.
To her surprise, Henry had the same idea and turned his parents down before she could say anything.
However, the Armstrong family did such a good job that they changed their minds.
They stayed to take care of their daughter for an entire night before boarding a flight home, leaving her in the capable hands of the Armstrongs.
She was constantly in a terrific mood under their attentive care.
Soon enough, she’d spent an entire month in the hospital without realizing it.
During that month, her husband, his mother, and their hired nannies stayed by her side.
These nannies were hired to look after the baby, but since he was still in the incubator and under the hospital's care, they ended up looking after her the entire time.
She had been treated like a princess the entire month, ensuring that no harm ever came her way.
