Not long after, the nurse walked out holding the baby.
"It’s a boy." The nurse smiled.
Mrs. Yorks ecstatically hugged the child over and wept with joy. "The gender doesn't matter. He's my perfect little grandbaby."
When Angeline noticed that Sis Shirley had not come out, she agitatedly grabbed the nurse’s hand. "Where's my sister? How is she?"
The nurse smiled and said, "Don’t worry. The mother i s fine. She's just inside for a couple more examinations."
Angeline was then relieved, and she turned her attention to the child. Inside the thick swaddle blanket, a small head was exposed. His hair was thick, black, and shiny, and his face was slightly on the long side. He had long and narrow eyes that were somewhat slanting upward.
Angeline pouted and said in disappointment, "Mrs. Yorks, the baby looks too much like Cole. He doesn't have my sister's features at all."
Mrs. Yorks chuckled. "Angeline, since the baby looks like Cole, he'll look more and more handsome in the future. And don't you worry, if my Cole gives Shirley a
hard time, I won't let him off the hook so easily."
Angeline smiled and placed her arm around Mrs. Yorks’ neck. "I've always known that Aunt Crystal is the fairest and most reasonable person."
Half an hour later.
The nurse pushed Shirley out in a wheelchair.
In the blink of an eye, they suddenly had a lot of work t o do.
The baby needed to take a bath, get breastfed, change his diapers...
Shirley’s body was frail from the start, and she got weaker after giving birth. She barely had the strength t o breastfeed the baby.
Angeline still worked hard to help out in her sickly state. When Mrs. Yorks looked at the seemingly tireless Angeline, she smiled and said to Sis Shirley, "I finally understand why the people around Angeline treat her kindly. It's because she treats the people around her even better."
Sis Shirley nodded tearfully. She felt her heart aching. "But my little sister somewhat lacks in the luck department and just so happened to stumble upon a vicious mother-in-law."
