The ward, in which Sherman lived, was a suite. It was enough for the two of them to sleep in at night. The ward was as well furnished as a villanette.
Tonell came to the ward. As soon as he saw the baby, he held the baby fondly in his arms and wouldn't let anyone else hold the baby.
Kingsley kept the reporters outside the hospital for fear of disturbing her rest. She was so weak that she needed rest.
Many people wanted to come to the hospital to congratulate them, but Kingsley refused all of them. He just told them that they weren't allowed to visit until the baby was one month old. If he allowed them to come, they would fill the ward.
No one had an opinion on the name Sherman picked for the baby, especially Tonell. He kept saying that it was a good name, "Cody. Cody. It sounds like an unusual name. When my great-grandson grows up, he will be very excellent and elegant."
The baby did his great-grandfather a favor, too. As soon as his great-grandfather finished talking, he peed and cried. It was a lively scene.
Sherman had to breastfeed the baby at night. Sometimes he woke up at two o'clock at night and began to cry. Sherman narrowed her eyes and coaxed the baby dazzledly.
Kingsley loved Sherman dearly that when the baby was breastfed at night, he placed the bassinet next to his bed.
As soon as he moved a little or uttered a sound, Kingsley held him in his arms and whirled him around the ward. Kingsley patted him gently to keep him from waking his mother.
After a few days, Kingsley was better at taking care of the baby than Sherman. He knew when to feed the baby and how to change the baby's diaper. He was so adept a t these things that Sherman was surprised.
Sherman changed the baby’s diaper a few times. Each time after she had changed it, the baby kept crying incessantly. She patted him to soothe him and suckled him, but he couldn’t stop his loud crying.
Seeing this, Kingsley smiled and walked over to her. He took the baby from her and changed the diaper for him again.
Then the baby stopped crying...
