Arya did feel tired, so she closed her eyes when Xavier put her on the bed.
Xavier sat by the bed and patted her on the back, "Are you tired?"
Arya didn't open her eyes and gave a slight yes.
"Go to sleep."
After a while, Arya fell into a deep sleep. Just then, the phone in Xavier's pocket rang. Xavier immediately took it out, he hung it up when seeing the caller ID.
Arya heard the noise and moved, but she didn't open her eyes. Xavier patted her gently, "It's okay. You go back to sleep."
After a while, Arya fell asleep again.
Xavier tucked her in, got up, and left the room.
He walked out the door, took out his cell phone, and dialed back.
Daisy seemed to know that Xavier would call back and had been waiting by the phone.
"Xavier, you have to come back." Daisy held the phone.
Xavier answered, "I see." Then he hung up the phone.
Just as he was about to enter the room, Bridget came back.
"Brother..."
Xavier glanced at her, "Take care of her for me. I'll go back now."
Bridget nodded, "OK. I can look after her here."
After Xavier left, Bridget put a chair beside the baby's bed and looked at the baby lying on the bed, with both hands propping up her cheeks.
In the evening, Arya still didn't wake up. Nanny Joy made the food. Bridget asked Nanny Joy to keep it warm until Arya woke up.
Arya was woken up by the sound of the baby crying.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Bridget changing the baby's diaper. She didn't know if the baby was uncomfortable or not, but the baby was crying very hard.
Arya lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She walked to Bridget and said, "Give it to me. I'll change it."
Bridget handed Arya the clean diaper in her hand, "I'll go get some warm water."
Arya took off the baby's wet diaper and washed her butt with the warm water Bridget had brought her. Perhaps the baby was more comfortable now as she cried less. After changing the clean diaper, Arya held her in her arms and shook her gently.
Bridget poured the water and walked over, "Sister-in-law, let me carry her. You're still in confinement. You need more rest."
Arya shook her head and said, "No, it's okay. I'll make her stop crying."
Bridget could only stay and watch. After a while, the baby stopped crying, began to sob, and finally fell asleep slowly.
Apart from crying when she was hungry and when her diaper was wet, she was usually sleeping.
When the baby was asleep, Arya put her back in the crib.
"Sister-in-law, please eat something. I'll bring it in for you."
Arya said, "I'm going out to eat."
Bridget asked Nanny Joy to bring the food to the table. Arya looked at her and asked, "You don't want to eat?"
"I'm full now." Bridget sat on the sofa beside, looking not very energetic.
Arya drank the soup that Nanny Joy cooked for her. Looking at Bridget, she hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Do you know that Edward is leaving?"
