Jasper Milton realized what he had done and pulled his hands back.
This brought back memories of alienation and conceit, and with them the forgotten bitterness and cold.
“There is one thing that I haven’t figured out. I hope you can tell me the truth,” Jasper asked seriously.
Stella Grace smiled tightly, “I read a book once. Apparently in our whole lifetime, we would have done three things we regretted, and three things that we are proud of. Learn to let go and stop being so stubborn. I have to go and check on your sister now. She just gave birth to a baby, I need to examine her properly.”
Stella turned around.
“Am I the reason you left the Inspection Institute and Sun City?” Jasper asked.
Stella stopped and turned back towards him, her eyes full of confidence and maturity. “I left because I wanted to be responsible for myself. It had nothing to do with anyone. Stop worrying about it, Chief.”
Jasper’s gaze darkened.
Stella entered the private room. Elsa Milton was still lying on the bed. “Are you going to feed the baby with breast milk or powdered milk?” Stella asked.
“I want to feed him with my breast milk. I’m not sure what ingredients have been added into powdered milk. Perhaps the ingredients will affect baby’s growth,” Elsa said with certainty.
Stella adjusted the seat so Elsa could sit comfortably.
She picked up Elsa’s clothes and let the baby suckle at her breast.
“Oh no, it hurts.” Elsa cried, but she felt strangely happy.
Stella smiled gently. “Have you ever heard of this theory? If the baby’s first sip of milk is from a milk bottle, then the baby will quickly adapt to using the milk bottle.”
“I’ve heard about that. Thank you, doctor,” Elsa said gratefully.
Stella put the baby on the chair next to Elsa.
The baby was asleep, and he was licking his pink lips with his tongue.
He looked adorable.
“Doctor, why don’t you take a break? You must be tired too. Thank you so much.”
“Lie down for a while until you feel that you can get out of bed and move around. It’s best not to lie down for more than 2 hours. There should be sanitary pads here. I’ll ask the flight attendant to pass some to you later.
As soon as the baby leaves your side, he would cry and make a fuss.
Also, don’t feed the baby too much. His stomach is still very small. If you feed him too much, he will throw up. Sometimes he will even choke and vomit. Try to feed him frequently but in small portions. Four or five times per night is sufficient. If he vomits out the milk he drank, hold him up straight and gently tap on his back.
If he cries, avoid hugging him instantly.
The baby will pick up the habit of crying to get attention from the parents,” Stella instructed.
“Well, doctor, you are really kind. If you were not here, I’m not sure if the delivery would have gone so smoothly. Which hospital do you work at? I’ll send you an appreciation card,” Elsa said gratefully.
Stella just smiled, “It’s alright. Have a good rest.”
She opened the door and went out. Jasper was still standing there.
Stella nodded distantly and returned to her seat to rest.
“Brother, this doctor is a really good person. When we get off the plane, you must get her contact and thank her for me,” Elsa begged.
“Alright.”
Stella went back to her private room and never came out again. After taking a nap, there was only thirty minutes left before arriving at A City.
She took the evening flight, so she would arrive at A City at around 7. 30 a. m..
Stella took some toiletries and went to the bathroom to tidy up.
She finished tidying up and put on some makeup.
Jasper stood outside the door of the bathroom.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” Stella moved aside so that he had space to enter the bathroom.
Jasper did not enter the bathroom. “I was waiting for you. My sister wants me to get your contact number and thank you properly.”
“It’s okay. Any doctor would have done the same, ” Stella said with a smile.
The plane suddenly descended.
It shook a little due to the crosswinds.
Jasper quickly held Stella’s waist.
The warmth on his palm penetrated her clothes, reaching her skin.
Her back stiffened.
She stumbled forward.
The flight attendant gently announced that they were about to reach A City and requested that the passengers return to their seats.
“Brother, did you get her phone number?” Elsa asked.
Jasper shook his head.
“Please help me. I like her very much. If there is a problem with the baby in the future, I can ask her. Brother, please, you are my dearest brother,” Elsa begged him.
“I have met her several times before. I will find someone to get her information later,” Jasper promised.
“Please, brother. You’re my best.”
The plane arrived in A City.
Jasper saw Stella carrying her luggage as she got off the plane.
She walked very fast .
It was raining in A City and the early spring morning air was fresh.
Stella Grace took a deep breath.
It was the smell of her hometown.
She went to line up for a cab.
Apparently some big shot was in town so most of the roads were blocked, making it longer for the cabs to arrive.
Stella knew that the big shot was Jasper Milton.
She patiently lined up. She then took out her mobile phone, smiled and called her best friend.
“Stella, it’s so early. What’s up?” Eli Wayne sounded very joyful.
“Guess where I am now?” Stella said with a smile.
Eli was a little surprised. “You’re not at the airport now, are you? Why didn’t you tell me? I’m going to pick you up now.”
“No, it’s fine. I’m going to see my mom now. You go to work first and I’ll treat you to some nice food for dinner.”
“Where are you staying today? Come over to my place.”
“I’m gonna stay at the hotel. Haha, you don’t even stay at your house every day. See you later.” Stella hung up with a smile.
Jasper glanced at Stella as he instructed one of his subordinates.
His subordinate ran to Stella and greeted her politely. “Chief said that we can send you home. Where are you going? We can drop you at your destination.”
“Help me to thank your Chief but I don’t need it,” Stella gracefully refused.
Jasper approached her with a stern face. “You keep declining my requests. Are you avoiding me? Are you afraid of me?”
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Stella smiled.
If she did not go with him, it would seem that she was avoiding him out of fear.
She was not afraid of him, but she really wanted to run away from him.
It was guilt, not fear, that made her avoid him.
“Okay, thank you and sorry for troubling you, Chief,” Stella nodded.
His subordinate took her luggage and put it in the car boot.
She got in the car only to find his sister was not there.
“Where’s your sister?” Stella asked casually.
“My people have sent her to the hospital. I am going back to the military area now, but I will drop you off first. Where are you going?” Jasper asked calmly, without looking at her.
“I’m sorry to trouble you. I’m going to the Harmony Nursing Home,” Stella said politely.
Jasper looked her in the eye and asked directly, “Were we in a relationship before this?”
