Chapter 400
Isabella saw Cynthia like a beacon of hope, and she jumped up to pull her to the bedside, her voice brimming with excitement as she said,” Anthony’s fingers just twitched again.”
Hearing this, Cynthia quickly bent down to check. She hadn’t noticed when she first came in, but now, as she bent over and pulled back the blanket, she saw the little one sleeping in the bed.
Theodore was fast asleep, with chubby checks that looked rosy and adorable.
Cynthia was so charmed by the cuteness that she momentarily forgot about examining Anthony and gently pinched Theodore’s cheek.
Then she turned her head and whispered. “Is this your child with him?”
Cynthia had heard Isabella mention the child before, but she had never seen them. Seeing the little one now, she indeed was incredibly adorable. with features that combined the best of the parents‘ genes.
Isabella nodded and replied softly, “Yes, his full name is Theodore Hart, but we call him Theo”
“The Hart sumame Cynthia asked, puzzled.
“It’s a long story,” Isabella explained. “I wanted to cut ties with my past completely, so I gave myself the name Amy Hart. At that time. Theodore also took my sumame.”
Hearing Isabella’s explanation. Cynthia nodded in understanding. “Aren’t you planning to change it now!”
Isabella said, “We’ll see what Anthony thinks when he wakes up. The elderly couple who adopted me also have the surname Hart. Their only daughter died in an accident. I was thinking of letting Theodors keep this sumame to take care of them in their old age, as a way to repay them for taking us in.”
Pausing for a moment, she continued, “But in the end, we must respect Anthony’s opinion. After all, his grandfather has traditional views and may
not agree.
Cynthia also nodded in agreement
William, for the sake of this kid, was able to break his own concepts and hand over the company to Isabella, which showed how much he valued the little one.
But this kind of matter was a family affair, and as an outsider, she should not interfere.
Just then, Theodore was awakened by the conversation between the two. He was groggy and climbed onto Anthony’s body.
Seeing this, Cynthia unceremoniously picked up the little one. For a moment, an intoxicating baby scent filled the air.
Cynthia, acting like a total fangirl, took a deep breath at Theodore’s neck and murmured. “Little buddy, you smell so good. I could just gobble you up” Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Theodore rubbed his eyes and stared blankly at Cynthia. With big eyes blinking and two rosy cheeks, he looked incredibly cute.
He stared at Cynthia for a long time and then called out softly, “Mommy.”
This made both Cynthia and Isabella freeze.
Regardless of whether the kid could understand, Cynthia quickly explained, “Even though I look a lot like your moms, I’m not her. You can call me Cynthia
Theodore seemed not to understand, pouting and staring blankly,
Isabella, amused, held the child in her arms and pulled down her mask. “Look closely, I’m your mommy”
Theodore was stunned for a moment, looking back and forth between Cynthia and Isabella, and then burst into tears with a pout,
Isabella hurriedly comforted the child.
After she finally calmed him down, Cynthia joked, “Do you think I’m really the daughter of the Davis family that was lost?”
It was because they looked so alike that anyone would be confused.
Tabella responded with a smile, “I wish you were. In that case, I would have another family member. But I don’t seem to have heard about a child
from the Davis family being lost back then.”
Cynthia knew that the Davis family’s affairs were a sensitive topic for Isabella, so she quickly changed the subject to avoid upsetting Isabella. “I was just kidding. I remember when my mom passed away, and even though my biological father isn’t Mason, I’ve gathered that he’s basically a deadbeat. No way is he the head of the Davis family.”
“Ms. Larson, those things are all in the past, We, who are alive, shouldn’t dwell on the sad stuff but look forward. Since fate has given us such a connection, then let’s be family from now on, if that’s okay with you, Isabella suggested gently.
Cynthia was pleasantly surprised. She already liked Isabella and was naturally very happy about the idea.
“I’m totally cool with it,” Cynthia said, shaking her head quickly to show she had no objections.
The two girls shared a warm smile in the hospital room.
Afterward, Cynthia checked on Anthony and noticed his condition was getting better. She thought he might wake up within the month.
Cynthia was really happy for Isabella.
Feeling cheerful, Cynthia wanted to invite Isabella to dinner as she was leaving. But Theodore was crying non–stop, so Isabella had to turn her down gently
Cynthia didn’t insist and left with a fond squeeze of Theodore’s cheeks.
After leaving the ward, as she turned a corner, Cynthia spotted two familiar figures acting sneaky out of the comer of her eye.
She looked up and saw they were near the gynecology clinic,
When she saw the sign, Cynthia’s mind filled with all sorts of scenarios.
She strode forward, grabbed Hallet’s ear in a swift move, and asked seriously, “What are you two doing at the gynecology department?”
Hallet and Queena were startled and stood at attention right away.
Seeing their guilty looks, Cynthia was sure something was up. She let go of Haller’s ear and said sternly, “Come on, tell me what’s going on”
“Ouch” Hallet winced, holding his ear, his face all scrunched up. “Could you be a bit gentler next time? It’s Queena. She’s been feeling off, so I came along to support her.”
“Feeling off in a gynecological way?” Cynthia looked at Queena’s flushed cheeks, her suspicion growing
She wondered, “Did you two…
Cynthia’s question was cut off by Queena, who interrupted her, speaking sofily and embarrassed, “It’s just that since that last incident, my period has been all over the place. It just left and now it’s back after only two days, so I thought I’d check if it’s because of something I took”
Cynthia thought for a moment and then realized Queena was referring to the drugging incident in Fruycia. She let our a quiet, exasperated chuckle. There’s no need to be embarrassed about it, and sneaking around just makes it more suspicious.
Queena hung her head, pouting. I’m a young lady. How can I be comfortable talking about such things after what happened?”
Cynthia was both amused and frustrated by Queena’s way of thinking. She gently patted her shoulder.
“Next time, just come to me with this kind of issue Cynthia then looked at Hallet with a hint of disdain, shaking her head. “You bringing him along to a gynecologist’s visit just adds to the gossip.”
Then, Cynthia led Queena to an empty seat, checked her pulse, and asked her some questions.
A few minutes later, she concluded, “You’re in great shape, no need for tests or meds. The issue with your cycle is probably from that drug; it should be back to normal next month”
Hearing Cynthia’s words, Queena felt relieved, a smile finally appearing on her previously worried face.
She hugged Cynthia’s arm, gushing, “Cynthia, you’re the best.”
g to Hallet with a frown, she added, “We were raised by the same master, why are you only good for eating and… you know.”
Then, turning to
“Pash” Before Hallet could respond, Cynthia couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Hallet, with a stern face, thought for a long time before grumbling out, “I’ll be the bigger person,”
