Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Rachel grasped the meaning behind Juana’s words but decided to remain silent, offering only a subtle smile. Once the group had visited the children, they departed quietly. Meanwhile, the maids within the room remained an unseen presence, watching but not intervening.

Outside the room, Joy told her son, “Let’s go home and make creamy potato soup. You keep an eye on Sherri, eh? If she isn’t taken care of properly, you’ll see me unleash my wrath”

Hackett replied, “Alright, you should hurry and leave; otherwise, Sherri won’t get to have creamy potato soup.”

After the trio had departed, Hackett began to suspect that Trevon might have hidden intentions concerning his daughter. To alleviate his worries, he persuaded Ruby to return home with him by explaining that her younger brother was searching for

her.

It was highly unlikely that a newborn baby who had only arrived a few days ago would be searching for Ruby, but Hackett devised this explanation nonetheless,

Then, Natalie stayed in the hospital for several days, and Sherri also stayed a few extra days, just to be together with her best friend. Meanwhile, visitors from the two wards could visit each other.

If Natalie and Sherri went through their postpartum recovery separately, they would not be able to see each other for two

months. It was worth noting that, since they first niet, they had never been separated for more than a week.

Upon seeing Jasper sleeping in the ward, Ruby resolved not to depart. She was resolute in her decision to remain at the heispital, and Hackett could only grant her permission to stay.

Rose and Edward visited Natale and Sherri as soon as they finished work. Since the last conversation between Bone and Fdward, Ethward would now sit down for a few minutes to chat with Trevon before leaving

The children’s room at the Wilson’s residence had been set up well in advance during Natalie’s pregnancy, but it had remained untouched. This was because Trevon had voiced his preference for the baby to sleep in the same room, allowing him to be involved in feeding, changing diapers, and nighttime care.

Theo was delighted with his grandson’s choice and gave his wholehearted approval. It was evident that he empathized wit the challenges Natalie had experienced, and without delay, he directed servants to relocate the couch from Trevor’s room and arrange two cradles in the same space.

The room’s door swung open, and it was not the maids or Trevon but Natalie’s godmother, Lena. “Natalie

Natalie, who was breastfeeding on the bed, was taken aback. “Lena?”

Ever since Mel had left. Lena had been staying alone at the Foster’s residence. Natalie had suggested several times during her stay there for Lena to move in with her at Phoenix Manor, but Lena was adamant about staying at the Foster’s residence. She even refused Natalie’s offer to hire a caregiver for her.

Natalie chose not to inform Lena about her childbirth during her hospital stay because Lena had theumatoid arthritis in ber legs. Her intention was not only to spare her godmother from the inconvenience of frequent trips but also to shield Lena from witnessing her immediately after surgery to prevent any unnecessary worry.

Natalie had planned for Trevon to pick up Lena when they returned home after giving birth. However, it had been less than an hour since they arrived home, and Lena was already at the Wilson’s residence.

Lena approached the bedside, casting a glance at the baby cradled in Natalie’s arms and then at the child in the crib. She scolded gently, “You, my dear, how could you keep something as significant as childbirth a secret from me? Do you still consider me your godmother?”

Tears welled up in Lena’s eyes as she spoke. After all, she had witnessed Natalie’s growth from a young age and had played a role in raising her. In essence, Natalie was like a daughter to her, and no mother should be kept in the dark when her daughter gives birth. The thought weighed heavily on her heart, and she could not help but blame her own troublesome legs.

Natalie reached out to wipe away Lena’s tears, saying. “Lena, I’m sorry. I just didn’t want too many people worrying But, look, isn’t everything fine? Take a look at your granddaughter. Isn’t she adorable

Natalie tried to play good. Hearing that, Lena wiped away her tears, leaning in for another look at the baby “She’s beautiful. Your grandfather and Jenny will be delighted when they find out.”

‘Lena, let’s live together from now on. I’m really worried about you living alone.”

Lena responded, “Okay, I will listen to you this time. You know, Theo is a kind man. He fetched me to stay here while you were in the hospital, saying he didn’t want you to be concerned. He assured me that I could leave whenever you decided to leave the Wilson’s residence. Are you feeling reassured now?”

Lena’s voice quivered with emotion. Indeed, living at Phoenix Manor had been Theo’s idea as well. He had mentioned that Natalie enjoyed the sense of home there, and for elderly individuals like them, it was wiser to reside under the watchful eyes of the younger generation. This way, the younger ones could take care of them, and everyone could find happiness and peace

Hearing Lena’s words, Natalie was certainly delighted

At the moment, the person Natalie was most worried about was indeed Lena, and she could not help but marvel at how observant Theo was

At night.

A group of people entered the room energetically, prompting those in the living room to swiftly rise and greet them

Even Theo got up, leaning on his cane as he hurried over to greet them ‘Oh my, why didn’t any of you call Trevon to pack you up

Daniel walked briskly to Theo, holding the old man’s wrinkly ham! “We all know the way here, and we can manage on out own. There’s no need to trouble Trevon Besides, Natalie just gave birth, and I’ve heard she has to wake up wveral tas at right”

Theo was quite pleased with this, though he did not openly praise it in front of his in–laws. “That’s what her should be doing You see, Natalie deserves to be taken care of If he doesn’t get up and feed the baby, what che a hr upposed to da
