Rosella glanced at Camryn, yearning for a grandchild. If the young couple wasn’t ready to have a baby yet, or if the timing wasn’t right, she could be patient. There was no need to wait several years, as long as they didn’t choose the DINK lifestyle. Initially, it was hard for the elders to accept that choice, but over time, they grew more understanding. The children had matured and developed their own visions for their lives. As long as they were content, that was what mattered.
“Are you tired? Why don’t you sit in the pavilion while we wait?” Rosella suggested to Camryn when they reached the pavilion.
“I’m not tired,” Camryn replied. Although she initially wanted to go inside and greet everyone, she ended up sitting under the pavilion.
“Dr. Carden said my body is currently having trouble with childbirth, and I need to take medication for a while to recuperate. However, I have to wait until I finish my eye medication before she can prescribe anything for my body,” Camryn explained calmly. She believed it was important to inform her husband’s family early so they could mentally prepare, preventing any unnecessary concern if she didn’t conceive soon after marriage.
Hearing this, Rosella inquired with concern, “Did Dr. Carden say it could be treated?” She understood that Camryn had faced challenges in the past that might have led to her current physical issues.
At the same time, she felt resentment towards her in-laws. She couldn’t comprehend how they could overlook the fact that, even if she didn’t love her ex-husband, her daughter was still her biological child, born after ten months of pregnancy.
Why is Newman so biased? For Carrie, Mrs. Newman held her hands to prevent her from falling and covered her mouth to stop her from crying. In contrast, for Camryn, the eldest daughter, even if she didn’t love her, she constantly mistreated her and even wished for her demise. Camryn was fortunate to survive several life-threatening situations but ended up blind for ten years and suffered from health issues that complicated her chances of having children. She resented the favoritism, cruelty, and indifference shown by her relatives and felt sympathy for Camryn’s plight. Camryn is such a bright and beautiful daughter; had she been born into the York family, she would have been cherished like a princess. How could anyone mistreat her? Serenity also looked at Camryn with concern. She had loved Zachary for a year before becoming pregnant. Prior to her pregnancy, people speculated about her supposed infertility, whispering doubts behind her back. Even with Zachary’s reassurances, few would believe him. Outside voices remained silent, but her husband’s grandmother grew worried and sent a list of medicines to her mother-in-law, claiming that taking them could help regulate her body and lead to successful conception. Serenity understood the immense pressure that comes with prolonged infertility after marriage, which only heightened her anxiety and stress. “Dr. Carden assured me that it could be treated. She mentioned that I was in poor health previously, but fortunately, I met her and was able to recover. If it had taken any longer, my chances would have been slim. She prescribed medication for a year and a half, and I believe I’ll be fine now. If I had switched to another doctor, it might have taken two years or even longer.” After hearing that Lilian could assist Camryn with her health, Rosella and Serenity felt a sense of relief. Rosella remarked, “As long as you can adjust well, get…”
“Get married first. You and your husband can enjoy a two-person world for a few years, and there will still be time to have children later.”
