If the doctor hadn't verified that Anders was healthy, they would have mistaken his
obedience for a lack of intelligence.
“It's all due to how sensible our son is. He's clearly behaving because he knows how tough
the adults have it,” Natalie commented while gazing at Anders.
When something struck her suddenly, she asked, “By the way, Darling, is Anders the
surprise that you told me about earlier?”
Shane raised his chin slightly. “Yes. I know that no gift in this world would make you
happier than Anders. That's why I didn't tell you when he was discharged from the
hospital. I wanted to give you a pleasant surprise by bringing him over. So, did it work?”
Natalie gave him a teary-eyed nod. “It worked perfectly. You're right that nothing else in
this world would make me any happier than the sight of my child.”
Staring at Anders, her eyes brimmed with maternal love.
After Shane put Anders back into his cot, the latter cooed in laughter again. He then
grasped in the air with a smile, making for an adorable sight.

It was one that melted the hearts of both his parents.
Upon tucking Anders in, Natalie asked, “When was he discharged?”
“Five days ago,” Shane answered.
Natalie, in feigned anger, slapped him on his chest. “You actually kept it from me for five
days? It looks like you're getting really good at hiding things from me.”
“It's all for the sake of giving you a surprise. Even the children were in on it.” He shifted
his gaze to the two children who were playing with Anders.
“There were a few times when they almost let the secret slip but managed to keep it after
I reminded them to do so. As we went through a lot just to prepare the surprise, do I get a
reward tonight, Honey?” Lowering his head, Shane let out an alluring hum by her ear.
Despite getting his hint, Natalie rolled her eyes and nudged him with her elbow. “Sheesh,
what are you talking about? The children are right here.”
“I was whispering. There's no way they heard me.” Pulling her hand over, he checked her
elbow. “Does it hurt?”
His show of concern elicited a smile from the annoyed Natalie. “Of course, it doesn't. What
about you? Did I hurt you?”
“No.” Shane shook his head.
As a man, there's no way I can't bear something that trivial. Besides, hitting me is my
wife's way of showing her love for me.
After glancing at the children and being certain they were not paying attention, Natalie
lifted her heels to whisper into Shane's ear. “All right. I'll satisfy you however you want at
night. Happy now?”
With his eyes glistening in delight, Shane cleared his throat but failed to diminish its
raspiness. “Yes. You said it yourself.”
“Yes, I did.” Natalie nodded. “On the account of the huge surprise you have given me, you
do deserve a reward.”

“Anyway, answer me this. Wasn't Anders supposed to be discharged next month? Why did
they let him leave early?” The baffled Natalie knitted her brows. “Was this the doctor's
decision or yours?”
“The doctor's, of course,” Shane replied as he wrapped his arms around her shoulder.
“Don't worry. I won't do anything impulsive when it comes to the children's health.”
Natalie heaved a sigh of relief. “That's good, but is it a really good idea to discharge
Anders ahead of time?”
Natalie couldn't help but feel concerned about potential issues, as the entire schedule was
brought forward by almost a month.
Cognizant of how worried she was, Shane gave her a reassuring hug. “Don't worry. There
won't be any problems. I was just as concerned as you are now when the hospital first told
me about it, so I made an effort to check with them. The doctors subsequently told me
that they were all in agreement with the decision.”
