Chapter 1383Chapter 1383
Rose's health wasn't the best and she needed someone by her side to take care of her.
Knowing Sonia's concern, Mary was about to say something when Toby beat her to it. "Don't worry, I'll
ask Olivia to take care of Grandma while Madam Mary stays here to take care of you. This makes me
more assured."
Mary nodded in agreement. "Yes, Young Mistress Sonia, that's what's on my mind as well. Olivia is also
at the mansion, anyway. Although she's usually only working in the kitchen, she used to take care of
Old Mrs. Fuller together with me in the past. But because she's a good cook, she asked to work in the
kitchen to specially cook for Old Mrs. Fuller. She still has what it takes to take care of Old Mrs. Fuller,
no doubt. So, there's nothing to worry about."
Hearing that from both of them, Sonia felt more relaxed and smiled at Mary. "Okay, I'll have to trouble
you after this, Madam Mary."
"Don't mention it." Chuckling, Mary said, "All of us wish for you to be well and have a smooth delivery.
Alright, I'm going to tell this to Old Mrs. Fuller first."
"Let me do it." Toby took out his cell phone. "For something like this, it's better for me as the husband to
do it. Please prepare something that Little Leaf can eat during this period, Madam Mary. She hasn't
eaten much yet today."
He had prepared a lot of food for her and used all sorts of tricks and methods just to make her eat
something. However, every time she ate, she would feel uneasy, so she hadn't eaten much until now,not to mention that she had thrown up all that she ate.
It pained him to see her like this, but there was nothing he could do.
While she was a first-time mother, he was also a father for the first time.
The new parents didn't know a lot of things. Even if Mary didn't come over and offered to take care of
her, he had planned to look for an experienced nanny to do the job.
With a professional around, all of them could sleep better at night.
But compared to outsiders, Toby preferred to have Mary at her side to take care of her. This way, he
was more assured.
Upon hearing that Sonia hadn't eaten much, Mary became anxious and hurriedly answered, "Okay,
okay, right away."
Then, she started to get busy, whereas Toby took a seat next to Sonia. Gently, he held her in his arms,
dialed Rose's number, and told her about Mary staying behind to take care of Sonia.
When Rose found out that Sonia's condition was bad, she was very heartbroken, and upon learning
that they would like to have Mary as help, she agreed without hesitation and even said that she wanted
to send Olivia over as well, but Toby and Sonia turned her down in the end.
Mary was rich in experience. With both of them—her and Toby, who would visit frequently—that was
more than enough to take care of Sonia. Wouldn't it be a waste of talent if Olivia came over as well?
Moreover, there would be no one to take care of Rose if Olivia came over, which would worry Toby and
Sonia.
In conclusion, one helper at each place was the best.
Seeing how determined the young couple was, Rose could only give up on her idea to send Olivia over.
"If you need help, you must tell me, and don't hide it from me," she said afterward.
The couple didn't reject her this time and gave her their word.
After that, Rose shared a lot of information regarding pregnancy with Sonia, and from a person who
knew nothing, she became a first-time mother with a little bit of knowledge.
At the same time, Toby also transformed.
Not only did he listen intently, but he also prepared a notebook, making notes while listening to Rose.
Although the sight was amusing to Sonia, she felt warm in her chest.
But that wasn't the only thing that he did. Before Mary arrived, he had sent Tom to buy lots of books for
a first-time father and pregnancy, all because he would like to prepare himself and be a good husband
who could take care of his pregnant wife for the months when she was pregnant. Once the baby was
born, he would like to be a good father who could take care of his child.
Truth be told, not many men could do this, and there were even more who couldn't care much from thebeginning until the end.
However, Toby, a busy company president, could set aside so much work and spare so much time to
take care of her and learn these things which had nothing to do with managing a company; this really
moved Sonia beyond words in her heart.
Not knowing what was on her mind, Toby looked into her reddened eyes and kissed her dearly on the
forehead. "Are you hungry?" he asked.
Sonia put down the phone that had ended the call and muttered softly, "Yeah, a little."
Of course, she was hungry!
Nothing was good for her appetite. Knowing that she couldn't do without food, she suppressed her
nausea and discomfort inside and forced herself to eat something.
Even so, it was useless because she would throw up anything she ate. Her stomach was still empty
and she was so hungry that her head was spinning.
If it wasn't because of the vitamin shot earlier, she might have passed out already.
"Bear with it a little longer. With Madam Mary's experience, she'll probably prepare something that you
can eat," Toby said gently, holding her in his arms.
Sonia rested on his chest. "I believe so."
Even if she couldn't eat, she had to; even if she would still end up throwing up, she must eat. After all,she couldn't rely on nutrition shots every time.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookMary was very quick. In less than twenty minutes, she already prepared the food—lemon chicken soup.
The second the food container opened, the strong smell of lemon reached Sonia's nostrils.
Unexpectedly, this smell didn't make her nauseous, and neither did it disgust her.
Previously, everything she smelled was odd to her and made her nauseous, but not this smell. On the
contrary, it made her relax.
She was also a little curious at her surprise.
When she wanted to ask about the reason for this phenomenon, Mary chuckled and explained before
she could, "When I went to prepare food for you, I specially asked the nurse who is taking care of you
and found out the situation with your appetite. I immediately reckoned that acidic food is more suitable
for you, and acidic food can curb nausea. So, I went to buy this lemon chicken soup, but it can't be
compared to homemade ones. As time is limited now, please make do with this. Later, I'll prepare some
ingredients and make delicious homemade food for you."
"I see. Thank you, Madam Mary," Sonia said with a smile, full of gratitude.
Toby took the bowl from Mary, ladled some into the spoon, and blew on it gently. When the soup wasn't
so hot anymore, he fed it to Sonia's lips.
In Mary's presence, Sonia felt a little embarrassed, but her stomach was uncomfortable from the
hunger and she knew that she could accept the soup because it didn't make her nauseous. So, she setaside her embarrassment, opened her mouth, and took a sip.
Next to them, Mary watched them in delight. How nice, she thought. Young Master Toby knows how to
take care of someone else now, and their relationship looks very loving.
"How does it taste?" When Toby observed that Sonia didn't show any discomfort after having the soup,
his tightly knitted brows eased up, and his heart that was in his throat set back in its original spot. This
is great. Finally, there's something she can eat.
"The taste is not bad. Although it's a little sour, it's acceptable," Sonia described the food, nodding.
She was a person with a sweet tooth, actually, and she never ate acidic food because she hated it.
Every time she had something a little acidic, her taste buds would somehow exaggerate the taste and
she could not accept it at all.
Now, not only could she accept it, she even kind of liked it.
"By the way, Madam Mary, does the appetite and tastes change with pregnancy?" she asked. "I never
took acidic food in the past, and I can't take it, either, but I can take it now. It's so weird."
After she asked that, Toby turned to Mary curiously as well because he would like to know the answer.
Regarding everything which he didn't understand about pregnancy, he would review them again and try
to figure it out. Only then could he take better care of her.
