“Cry, cry, cry. All you do is cry. Are you in mourning or something?” “You jinxes! You’re just
like your dead mother!!
bet you came here specially to jinx us!” “You b*stards don’t deserve to eat. Don’t you dare
eat any of the food in this house!” All sorts of curses and abuse constantly rang out in the
magnificent and luxurious villa.
The Reinharts even went so far as to kick Tessa and her younger brother out of the house
in the middle of winter. No matter how they had begged and pleaded, the Reinharts
remained indifferent to their plight, though.
These memories represented the past that would haunt Tessa for the rest of her life.
There was once when Timothy was ill. At the time, she had knelt outside the gates of the
Reinhart Residence and begged them to save his life. However, she almost paid for her.
naivety with her life.
Even though several years had passed since then, even though the Reinhart Family no
longer existed, the resentment still remained in her heart. This was especially so for her
resentment toward Amber.
The misfortune and poor treatment that she, her brother, and their mother suffered were
all caused by Amber.
If Amber had not helped with Lauren’s malicious scheming back then, Tessa’s mother
would not have suffered from such a disease. Amber had even gone to great lengths just
to prevent Tessa’s mother from receiving any treatment when her condition worsened
toward the end.
If not for that old hag, my mother would not have died so soon! However… The old lady is
reaching the end of her lifespan… She probably does not have long to live. So, why should
I continue to bear a grudge toward her? Not to mention, she has already been punished
for her past mistakes.
A deep and pleasant voice entered her ears just as Tessa was coming to terms with her
emotions.
“Since these words are a blessing from Old Mrs. Reinhart, we should gratefully accept
them. ‘Peace and joy’, these words suit Gordon very well indeed.” Nicholas looked straight
at her and gently decided on her behalf with a tender look in his eyes.
Although she rarely talked about the Reinhart Family throughout their relationship, he
knew that she had not stopped caring for the Reinharts. There remained a glimmer of
hope in the corner of her heart that they might change. Unfortunately, they had continued
to disappoint her over and over again.
She did not realize that he had already seen through the thoughts in her heart.
After she listened to his suggestion, she agreed that it was a reasonable choice. Ever since
she was pregnant with Gordon, she had been involved in various incidents. Even Gordon’s
birth had been perilous.
Therefore, the blessing of peace and joy’ could indeed be said to be very suitable for the
baby. With that thought in mind, she finally nodded in agreement.
In the following days, peace and tranquility returned to their lives. Tessa concentrated on
her recovery in the hospital ward. Under Nicholas’ attentive care and the help of various
supplements every day, her health gradually improved day by day.
Likewise, Gordon was also getting healthier by the day. In the blink of an eye, he was
about to turn one month old.
Then, one day, the doctor finally brought good news to the hospital ward. “President
Sawyer, Madam Tessa. Young Master Gordon. underwent a comprehensive examination
today. We are pleased to inform you that his health has fully recovered, so he will be
removed from the incubator this afternoon. At that time, you may gather outside the
incubation room to wait.”
“That’s great! Gordon can finally be released!” Tessa was absolutely overjoyed. Gregory
was so excited that he bounced around. “Yeah! I can finally meet my little brother!”

Nicholas studied the bright smiles on their faces. There was a gentle expression on his
face. Like them, he was also highly looking forward to Gordon’s arrival.
That afternoon, Nicholas arrived early outside of the neonatal ward with Tessa and
Gregory. The members of the Sawyer Family and Timothy were already there. All of them
stared intently at the neonatal ward, filled with a sense of anticipation.
Fortunately, it did not take long before a doctor came up carrying a baby swaddled in a
baby- blue blanket.
“Who will be the first to carry this child?” The doctor could tell that everybody present was
yearning to carry the baby in her arms. So, she decided to settle the matter with a
question to prevent any untoward trouble.
Fortunately, Nicholas’ amused voice rang out at this moment, “Hand the baby to my wife
first. It’s the child she risked her life to bring to the world, after all.”
Besides, he made a promise to Tessa in the past. She would be the first to carry the baby
once the baby was born.
The doctor nodded in agreement upon receiving a response. “You’re right, President
Sawyer. Mothers are the greatest. To safely give birth to the child under such dangerous
circumstances and even crawl her way from the jaws of death… It is only right for her to
be the first to carry the child.”
After she said that, she carefully handed the baby to Tessa. Tessa carefully took the baby
into her arms, feeling amazed by how soft and tiny the infant was.
