Melinda didn't want her child to suffer like this. It would be too hard for her.
She would rather her child be more selfish and give others a hard time than troubling herself.
"Although I like girls very much, now I really hope that you can be a little boy." Melinda gave a soft sigh.
Girls were always soft. Even if they were stubborn, they were easily hurt.
She couldn't help crying as long as she thought of the possibility that her baby would suffer the same
pain as her in the future.
The pregnant woman's mood fluctuated greatly, and Melinda's pleasure just now fell into sadness.
After a while, a few tears fell on her cheeks. Nelson just pushed the door in. When he saw this, he
immediately asked, "What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me."
When Melinda saw it was Nelson and his words, tears welled up in her eyes. Nelson would say the
same words every time he saw her cry, and he wanted to roll up his sleeves and beat the man who had
bullied her up.
"Grandpa, I'm fine." Melinda felt embarrassed as she wiped her tears.
Nelson looked at Melinda suspiciously. The first thought came to his mind was what the hell the bastard
Jonas did to her again. But seeing that Melinda looked good and she didn't seem to lie, he only said, "If
someone bullies you, don't forget to tell me, will you?"
Nelson was a little afraid of Melinda's hesitation now. This sentence would be repeated every time he
saw her.
"Well, I see. Grandpa, sit here please."
Melinda stood up and pointed to the place beside her. Gradually, she calmed herself down.
"Okay, don't stand up. Just sit there and rest."
Nelson tried to stop Melinda when he saw that she wanted to get out of the bed to help him. Melinda
continued to lie on the bed with her hands still on her abdomen.
She suddenly understood why all the pregnant women she had seen before would put their hands on
their stomach so frequently.
This was a wonderful feeling that could only be felt as a mother. Perhaps many people thought that it
was normal for a mother to be pregnant, which was not so exaggerated, but they absolutely could not
understand how Melinda felt when getting the child in such a situation.
"You look much better now. But you should stop crying. Otherwise, your baby will be a cry baby."
"No, I don't think so. He must be a child who loves laughing very much." Melinda pouted her mouth,
reluctant to accept the teasing from Nelson. Then she felt herself childish and could not help laughing.
"Okay, it's a sunny boy." Nelson spoke out by convenience, then he felt that it would make Melinda
misunderstand him, so he quickly said, "Or my little warm girl, both make me warm and comfortable."
"Sure."
Melinda had already decided the direction for her child to cultivate, which was to be optimistic. She
hoped that he would love to smile so that he could heal everyone around him.
"I saw the video online. Did you release it?"
Nelson had already known the answer in his mind. The moment he found the video, he asked someone
to check the IP address.
What irritated him was that he had no idea of it at all. It seemed that Melinda had been wronged a lot
before he knew it.
"Yes."
Melinda admitted it immediately.
She was so bold to admit what she had done. Since she had done it, she had never thought of hiding it
from anyone and was not afraid of being investigated.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have posted the video.
Nelson was stunned. He had thought that it was a coincidence that someone deliberately used it. He
did not expect the real person to be Melinda. This was not her style.
"Grandfather, I don't want to have my own baby see his mother get wronged when he is still in my
belly."
Melinda didn't want her child to see the scene of her being bullied.
"Ha-ha-ha. Good. That's it."
Nelson was glad to see Melinda in a good mood. She used the protection umbrella to protect herself
just because of the baby in her womb.
This was what he had been dying to see. Now it happened.
At last, he felt a little relieved.
"A mother should be strong. I am relieved to see that you know how to protect yourself now."
Nelson couldn't help teasing Melinda. He also hoped that this child was a miracle. It could change her
character and make her stop being weak. Moreover, it could improve the relationship between her and
Jonas. The family was harmonious.
"Yes, I don't think about anything now. I just want to protect this little guy." Melinda almost wanted to
write all these into a book while speaking.
"My silly girl, you shouldn't have been so tired. There are many people accompanying you, you know?"
Although Nelson hoped that Melinda could be strong, he didn't want her to be independent and need
no one's help. In this way, her grandson would have no chance to use his power in the future.
Melinda smiled and didn't say anything. Nelson was afraid that she would be bored, so he told her a lot
about what he had done in the army. Not long after, Queena came back from home with many things in
her hands.
"Auntie Yao, why did you bring so many things?" Looking at the piles of tonics, Melinda suddenly felt
nervous. She was most afraid of these things, but now for the child, she would eat them all.
But this made her feel a little guilty.
"I'm not used to you calling me Auntie Yao. You can just call me Mommy. You can just regard it as that I
don't have a son and give birth to a daughter like you." The caregiver came back at this time. She
happened to take the things brought by Queena. Queena wiped her sweat and said to Melinda.
She knew that Melinda would not accept Jonas for a while, so she simply wanted a daughter-in-law
and abandoned her son.
Her words made Nelson clapped his hands and answered "Good" three times in a row. It could be seen
that the position of Jonas in the family had begun to decrease in a straight line.
Hearing that, Melinda smiled too. The caregiver was busy now, so she was about to get out of bed and
pour water for Queena herself. Queena stopped her immediately, "Just lie down on the bed. There are
so many people here. If you need anything, just tell me."
"Don't worry. I'm much better now. I've been lying on the bed, and my limbs are limp."
That was true. Lying on the bed for a long time made Melinda feel weak. Although she was told to stay
in bed for recuperation, she still got out of bed and moved from time to time.
It didn't mean that she didn't value her baby. On the contrary, she thought highly of her baby, but she
knew clearly that she could bear it.
"Just take a walk with the help of the bed. When the doctor arrives, I'll ask him if you can go out for a
walk," Queena said. The caregiver quickly prepared a plate of fruit salad, put it in the middle of several
people, and packed it in a small bowl with soup that Queena gave her.
"I have asked the chef to make this specially for you. It is good for your health and blood. You should
drink a lot later, understand?" Queena sat by the bed and took over the bowl brought by the caregiver,
and blew on the soup.
Nelson was even more relieved when he saw that. Queena accepted Melinda, and she was such a
nice girl. Right now, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very good.
"I'm an old man who knows nothing. I'll go back first,"
Nelson said as he stood up. Queena put down the things and held him. Melinda just sat up a little, and
then obediently went back.
"Grandpa, you ask me that don't think too much, but you don't behave yourself. Don't worry too much.
I'm pregnant now, so I can't help you dye your hair."
Melinda thought of something that Nelson was worried about her all the time, so she couldn't help
saying. Hearing that, both Nelson and Queena laughed.
"Yes, Dad, just enjoy your life in the future,"
Queena echoed her. Nelson laughed and nodded, "Okay, from now on, I'll enjoy my life."
Gavin was waiting outside. Melinda thought that it was a waste of talent to keep Gavin here. She talked
with Nelson for a long time and sent Gavin back to take care of Nelson.
There was a mellow and fragrant smell of the soup in the ward, which made people feel comfortable
and appetite. The pregnancy reaction of Melinda was not serious, and the soup made her a little
hungry.
"It smells so good."
"Have more if you like it. It's no problem for you to drink it every day." Queena was delighted when she
saw that Melinda liked the soup. This soup was warm. It's good for its taste when it was a little cold.
Queena put a bowl in front of Melinda and was about to feed her in person, but Melinda suddenly sat
straight.
"Auntie Yao, I can do it myself."
She was just raised up, so she was not so fragile that she couldn't take care of herself. Fortunately,
Queena didn't insist, so Melinda drank the soup obediently. However, she had no appetite, and she put
it down after drinking two bowls.
"Normally, you should have a better appetite with a baby. Why do you eat so little? Does it not taste
good?" Queena said sadly when she saw Melinda put down the bowl. She had tasted the soup and it
tasted good.
Melinda used to drink well, but now she was full.
"It's delicious, but I'm used to eating less every meal and eat more meals every day," Melinda
explained. She didn't want to make Queena feel that she didn't accept her kindness.
"Just tell me what you want to eat. You should not make yourself starving, okay?"
Queena knew that Melinda didn't like to bother others, but pregnant women always had a tricky
appetite and liked eating strange things.
"Okay, I will." As long as it was for the baby in her womb, Melinda had nothing that she dare not to do.
A starved baby would never happen.
"Linda, go home when you get better. Don't make us worry. We have someone taking care of you at
home." After hesitating for a while, Queena opened her mouth. Looking at weak and fragile Melinda,
Queena was always worried about her.
