Chapter 1667
"Whaa-"
As if Candy heard her mother's voice, she pouted and cried out, like she was responding to her mother.
Silvia was so excited that she lowered her head to kiss Candy's face twice. "Oh Candy, you are so cute. I feel like I want to put you back in my stomach to be one with you again."
"Silvia, don't kiss the child like this." Worried that Silvia might lose control, Jayden quickly took Candy away. "The doctor said that there are bacterias in an adult's mouth. It's best if you don't kiss the child like this, or she might have a skin allergy."
"I can't even kiss my child I've been carrying for ten months? Say, what do you think of that?" Silvia looked at Jayden sadly. The reason she wanted a child was to kiss and hug one. However, she was not even allowed to give her child a kiss. What a losing bargain. "Give the child back to me."
Jayden said, "This child is only a week old and her immune system is too weak. When she grows up a little bit more and becomes stronger, you can kiss her all you like."
"But I want to kiss her now." Candy's mouth couldn't be kissed and her face couldn't be touched. Silvia then looked at Candy's chubby little hand. "I can kiss her hand though, right?" "Would you like to ask the baby if she agrees to it?" Jayden gently held the little girl in his arms. Candy really was too small that he could not feel much weight. Holding her in his arms was slightly nerve-wracking, so he carefully held her in his palms and said, "Candy, Mom wants to kiss your little hand. Do you agree?"
Whether it was by coincidence or if it was because Candy could really hear the adults, she slowly blinked her eyes which still could not open fully, and let out two whimpers.
The baby's response made Silvia's heart soften. "Did you hear that? Candy agreed to let me kiss her."
Jayden gave in and gently set Candy by Silvia's side. "Candy is so young, but she already cares about her mother so much. I'll definitely take good care of her in the future."
"If she doesn't love her mother, wouldn't you love her?" Jayden was obviously putting Silvia first but she was not satisfied. "Jayden, I tell you, no matter how Candy treats me in the future, you should love her and pamper her so she can be the happiest child in the world."
Jayden said nothing.
Silvia still hadn't changed. After so many years, she still didn't know what was good for her. Did she really not know that she held an important place in his heart?
Silvia added, "Quick, promise me. If you don't promise me, I won't let go of this."
Jayden replied helplessly, "Yes, my dear wife!"
Silvia smiled in satisfaction. "As long as you treat Candy well, I'll work hard to be good to you in the future."
Once again, Jayden just stayed silent.
Ever since giving birth to the child, Silvia referred to him as "Daddy". Couldn't she realize that if he didn't work so hard, she couldn't have given birth to Candy too?
He was supposed to be the most important person in this family, but currently, he became the dispensable one.
Several times, Jayden wanted to remind Silvia that she could give Candy all of her heart, provided that he could have a little corner in hers as well. However, when he saw her eyes shining at the sight of the child, he could not bear to do so.
Since a long time ago, he had known that she liked children
Forget it. Who told him to marry her? Who told her to be his child's mother? If he didn't let her have her way, would he still expect others to do so?
One silent, tranquil night.
Early in the morning, the doctor conducted a check-up on Silvia. After confirming that she was recovering well, he agreed to discharge her.
Of course, it was impossible for the Kyle family to not attend Silvia's discharge from the hospital, it being such a big event. However, because there would be too many family members if all of them came and other patients might be bothered by it, a few representatives from the family came to pick up Silvia.
The representatives were Karen and Karen Joy. Originally, Mia also wanted to pick Silvia up from the hospital as well, but because Levi brought Monique back, Mia felt uneasy and stayed at home to watch them.
Karen was very careful. This time, in order to take good care of her daughter-in-law, she even cooked soup every day and personally sent it to the hospital for Silvia to drink. The reason Silvia's body could recover so well was not only due to Jayden's careful care, but also Karen's soup.
"Mom, although I gave birth to the baby, you're still more tired than I am. Why don't you take a rest now? Let Jayden clean it up." Karen was busy the moment she entered the house and Silvia's heart ached for her.
"I'd be happy to do something for you. How can I be tired?" Even though Kevin was also concerned about her, Karen still kept herself busy with all these matters as she was glad to help them out in any way. "Mom, but I'm concerned about you." Many people said that the relationship between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law was the most difficult one to deal with since ancient times. However, there would never be such a difficult problem in the Kyle family because Karen treated every daughter-in-law like her own kin. Naturally, they'd be filial too.
"Mom, have a rest and let me help you. Otherwise, Silvia will just be uneasy." In fact, these things could be accomplished by the housemaids but Jayden was unwilling to do so. He was like Karen, who was happy to do something for the people around her.
"Mom, if you can't help but be busy, you can hold Candy instead." Karen Joy, who was responsible for holding Candy, took her to Karen and said, "Mom, look at Candy. She opened her eyes to look at you." "Really?" Seeing that Candy really had opened her eyes fleetingly, Karen also grew excited. "Look, look, what did I say? Candy must feel that Grandma also loves her."
"Of course she can feel it." Silvia said, "Her grandma has taken care of her for so long. If she still can't feel it, then she must be a heartless little one."
"You are not allowed to say that about my granddaughter." Looking at Candy's little face, Karen simply seemed to see a young Karen Joy and her eyes were full of tenderness.
Back then, for some reason, Karen did not have a chance to see Karen Joy being swaddled, but she was absolutely sure that her daughter at that time must have been as adorable as Candy, and was concerned for her mother all the same.
Unfortunately, some opportunities only come by once. If she had missed something, then it was gone forever. She would never have a chance to see how lovely Karen Joy was being swaddled. A sad thought like that shouldn't be brought up during such a happy occasion. However, when Karen saw Candy, she couldn't help but think about it. She treated Candy as if she was Karen Joy.
"Mom, are you viewing Candy as me?" Except for Kevin, Karen Joy knew Karen the best. Seeing the weird look on Karen's face, Karen Joy had already guessed that something was amiss. She didn't wait for Karen's answer but told her instead, "Mom, no matter what we've experienced in the past, what matters is that I am now healthy and standing in front of you. The fact that you can feel my strong presence and spirit here, proves that the bad things in the past have already passed. We should enjoy our present life."
