Silas quickly crouched down to hug them. “Connor, Sharon, is the madam all right?”
“Mommy's fine. She's been sent to the ward,” Connor replied, his eyes bloodshot.
Sharon then sniffled. “We came from Mommy's ward, hoping to see our little brother.”
“Okay. He's right there.” Silas turned around and pointed at the middlemost incubator in the room.
Connor and Sharon then placed their palms against the window as they stared at the incubator.
Sharon blinked. “Huh? Why is he so tiny? He's so much smaller than me!”
She then gestured to emphasize how tiny the baby was.
On the other hand, Connor pressed his lips into a thin line in silence.
Silas ruffled Sharon's head and smiled at her. “He was just born, so he's tiny. You were that tiny when you were born
too.”
“Really?” Sharon easily believed in his words.

Indeed, Sharon whipped her head to the side to look at her brother. “Connor, is Mr. Campbell telling the truth?”
Connor hummed out, “Mhm.”
The truth was that Connor knew Silas was lying to Sharon. However, he also knew Silas was lying because he did
not want Sharon to be upset.
After all, the baby was really small. No one could be certain that the baby would survive.
If they were to tell Sharon that her little brother might not survive, Sharon was sure to break down in tears.
Silas let out a relieved sigh when he saw that Connor understood the look he had given him.
No wonder he's Mr. Shane's child. He's indeed a smart boy.
“That's great!” Sharon stopped being suspicious of Silas' words after hearing Connor's confirmation, thinking that all
newborn babies were the size of her little brother.
Sharon then placed her palms against the window again to look at the baby in the incubator with bright eyes.
Happily, she cooed, “My dear little brother, you have to come out of the box soon. I'm waiting to play with you, and
I have tons of gifts to give you. Connor's the same, right?”
Sharon turned to look at Connor, who nodded. “That's right.”
Sharon beamed.
She was the only one among the ones outside the neonatal intensive care unit to not know the true nature of the
baby's condition. Therefore, the others' hearts sank when they heard the girl's sincere wishes.
After a long time, they finally returned to Natalie's ward.
Natalie had yet to wake; she was still unconscious on the hospital bed.
Her face was as white as a sheet, and they could almost see the veins under her skin. It felt as if she was going
blend in with the hospital bed and disappear in the next second.
“Lina, why don't you go home first? I'll stay here and keep Nat company,” Sally said to Lina as she looked at Natalie.
Instinctively, Lina opened her mouth to reject her, for she wanted to stay by Natalie's side as well.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Sally said, “Nat will have to stay in the hospital for a while longer. I was thinking that you should go back
to pack up some of her daily necessities, as well as her design notes.”
“All right, I got it,” Lina agreed at that.
“I'll stay here too, to take care of Connor and Sharon. I'm sure the two kids won't leave the madam's side,” Silas
said as he patted the children's heads. As he expected, the two children nodded in agreement.
Once the adults were done with their planning, Lina left, and the others stayed.
The next day afternoon, Natalie finally woke up.
The white ceiling was the sight that greeted her, and the smell of disinfectants was the scent that wafted across her
nose. Immediately, she realized where she was.
When she thought about how she had been sent to the hospital from the severe stomach cramps she had after
hearing Shane's news, Natalie shot out her arm to touch her stomach.
It was then she realized her stomach was flat unlike before. A nameless dread engulfed her, and her heart sank
into the abyss.
“Where's my baby? Where's my baby?” Natalie scrambled upright.
The abrupt movement caused pain to flare in her stomach, and she cried out in agony.
That pain was what told her that her child was no longer in her stomach.
