It was certainly strange.
Sharon Lindt finally turned away after the doctor had adjusted the needle on the back of Annabeth Cates’ hand, taking the bottle of milk from the nurse to feed the baby.
Seeing how adorable her new grandaughter looked, she felt her heart melting again.
Xyla Quest and Wilson Batton soon walked over to her and helped her out, while Josh Batton silently went to get some water and began to wipe the sweat off Annabeth’s skin.
She was all he could think about at that moment.
‘#Annabeth Cates gave birth to a baby girl#’ suddenly appeared on the number one spot in the list of hot topics.
Many people, claiming to be nurses at Municipal Hospital, had published posts on Weibo about Annabeth's safe delivery of her baby girl of six pounds in weight.
In the posts, they commented that the Batton family was unlike any of the in-laws they’d ever seen. After the birth of the baby, the family was focused entirely on the mother instead of the newborn.
Soon, netizens began discussing excitedly—
“The Batton family is wonderful. People who are unfamiliar with them might think Annabeth’s parents-in-law are her birth parents instead.”
“I can already imagine how the baby was completely neglected. I feel bad for the baby.”
“Everyone in the Batton family loves Annabeth with all their heart. One can indeed see how parents-in-law are when a woman gives birth to their grandchildren.”
“You’re all envious of Annabeth, but I’m also envious of her baby. She is born into a great family.”
“I’m envious of the baby, too. Her father, Josh Batton, is a top-notch celebrity, Stanley Batton, her uncle, is the wealthy tycoon, and her aunt, Xyla Quest, also comes from a wealthy family. Oh my god! How lucky!”
At the thought of her baby, she instantly peered around.
Upon seeing her baby in the cradle next to her bed, she suddenly felt that everything she suffered was worth it.
She scrambled to sit upright, gazing at her husband. "Honey, will you bring my baby to me? Let me have a look.”
Right then, Sharon, Xyla, and Wilson, who were standing around the baby, instantly turned to study her face with concerned expressions.
Sharon carried the baby and handed the baby over to her. “You have to start postpartum recovery now, so you shouldn’t carry the baby for too long. Otherwise, your arms and shoulders will be sore after the period. You can only hold her for a short while, understand?” she told her with a smile.
Annabeth could feel how small and soft her baby was.
She was at a loss at what to do, afraid that she might end up hurting her baby.
