Petra's countenance was much better than before, but the teardrops on her face had not stopped falling since this morning.
I could understand because too many unexpected things had happened today.
She held my hands tightly. "Child, the doctor said that your body is weaker and you haven't recovered from the last miscarriage very well. You're blessed to be able to conceive this time. Don't worry about Munchkin. We’ll do everything we can to save him. You must not get too anxious and harm your body at this time.”
Petra patted my hand while comforting me over and over again. I knew just how much the elderly wanted this child to stay.
'Don't worry, Mom. I'm okay." I forced back my tears and comforted her, but I did not feel happy at all.
"You’ve been here the whole day and should go back and get some rest. I'll be fine with Theo here to stay with me."
They were not young anymore, so it would not be a good idea to ask them to stay in the hospital all the time. I had to make sure the elderly were not worn out again.
"Yeah, Petra. You should go home. I'll be here," Grayson persuaded her as well.
“Why don't you take Mom home? I'll be fine after getting enough rest. I don’t need to be watched all the time. You can come back and visit me tomorrow."
I was only saying so on purpose because I knew they were worried.
Before Petra could answer, Theo said first," No way, you should focus on recuperating right now. Lie down and don't go anywhere."
He then looked at Grayson. "Don't worry about us. I'll be here. I can call someone to come over if I can't handle it."
Petra quickly waved her hands and said." No, no. How can outsiders take care of her better than her own family? I'll stay here. You should all go home." Petra tried to suppress the young ones using her authority as the elder.
Theo was clearly unwilling, what more Grayson.
"Do you know how old you are now? If you get sick, then do you think you'll be the one taking care of Wanda or will Wanda be the one taking care of you instead?"
