Nathaniel gritted his teeth, enduring the sharp pain in his shoulder as he shook his head.
After a moment, he recovered and gestured toward the woman behind him, explaining, "She's a family member of a child in the regular ward downstairs. I happened to help her out yesterday, so she brought some fruit today to thank me."
Then, he glanced thoughtfully at Sheena, adding, "Nana, you might be a bit too sensitive."
Witnessing Nathaniel unexpectedly struck by Sheena, the woman holding the child was also frightened.
"Um… S-Should I not have come?"
Sheena stared at her intensely, fixating on the woman's unfamiliar face.
The woman seemed to exude fear from head to toe.
"I'm sorry for the disturbance," she said, sensing the uncomfortable atmosphere.
She cautiously stepped forward, placed the fruit on the floor, and hurriedly left.
As she departed, she gave Sheena a strange look over her shoulder.
The door to the infant ward closed behind her.
Sheena's expression remained unchanged as she questioned, "Why did you let a stranger in?"
Nathaniel appeared conflicted as he replied, "Nana, perhaps you're too anxious."
Nonetheless, he thought it was only natural that Sheena reacted in such ways after being kidnapped and witnessing someone trying to harm her child.
He carefully chose his words before suggesting, "I know you've been tired these past few days. Maybe you should rest more. I'll take care of Asher, and you have nothing to worry about."
Sheena lowered her head.
She knew her abnormal behavior stemmed from the night when she was kidnapped to Miguel's and when someone had attempted to harm Asher.
Since then, she remained constantly vigilant, always on edge.
For so many nights, that stress had taken a toll on her.
Sheena stared at the door for a while and nodded, already making up her mind.
"Alright. I'll have to trouble you with Asher for the time being. Thank you for your help."
Then, he gently wrapped his arms around her, tenderly asking for her opinion, "I'll arrange for the attending doctor to come and give Asher a full examination. Should we take Asher home together today?"
No matter how many people were guarding the hospital, its security system could never match E&S Haven's.
Sheena agreed, and in the evening, they finally arrived at the Jenkins estate with Asher in tow.
The director of Svelton General Hospital, as compensation for Asher's unexpected incidents during his hospitalization, arranged for the top-tier nurses and pediatricians to go to E&S Haven.
Of course, the National Investigation Bureau also provided dedicated vehicles for escort.
It was quite a spectacle.
E&S Haven had been quiet for so long, and it would finally regain its long-lost bustle.
As the mansion gates swung open, Freida stood at the front with the lively and adorable Adora in her arms, ready to greet them.
Seeing Sheena, she immediately walked over, smiling kindly.
"Welcome home, Mrs. Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins has already prepared a little surprise for your return. Would you like to see it?"
