Lilly was in the middle of her meal when she suddenly heard Edward's phone beep, and a voice message played out loud:
'Yeee Yaaa! Awoo! Dada!'
Lilly was taken aback and suddenly remembered that Jonas' baby should have been born by now!
Last year, when she came back for Christmas, Quinnie was already about three months pregnant.
She calculated the days and realized their baby should be four months old now.
"Wow! Is this Uncle Jonas' baby?" Lilly suddenly got excited.
Edward said, "Yes! Yes! He's a big chubby boy. He weighed 12 pounds at birth and was the heaviest baby in the entire hospital."
Lilly was shocked.
Bettany added, "Yes. When the due date was still a week away, we were worried sick and wanted to have a cesarean section in advance... But Quinnie believed that the baby had already endured a week inside the womb, which was equivalent to a month outside, so she insisted on waiting until full term for the cesarean section."
The doctors couldn't believe it when they estimated the baby's weight to be 12 pounds. They doubted the machines and their medical skills, but they never doubted if the baby was really that big.
In the end, it turned out to be true...
"During the last week, Grandma was worried sick. Any baby over eight pounds is considered a big baby, and we were afraid that the baby would suddenly come out, causing Quinnie a lot of suffering."
Fortunately, the baby was well-behaved, and Quinnie felt contractions on the day of the cesarean section. The baby was born smoothly.
Lilly sighed. "Aunt Quinnie has worked hard!"
Regardless of how it was done, a cesarean section involved making an incision to take the baby out. No matter how skilled the doctors were or how well they took care of the mother afterward, it would still damage the body.
Lilly thought to herself that when Quinnie came over tomorrow, she would make a special meal just for her to ensure her good recovery.
Bettany couldn't help but sigh and worry at the mention of Quinnie. "Quinnie seems to be experiencing postpartum depression..."
Lilly was taken aback. "How is that possible?"
In her impression, Quinnie was very cheerful and always smiling. She had a youthful heart and loved comics and dolls.
Bettany said, "It seems that she has been unable to regain her figure after giving birth. It's strange because no matter how much she exercises or controls her diet, she can't lose weight."
She wanted to advise her to take it slow. After all, the baby was only four months old.
Perhaps due to her profession, many female celebrities could recover their pre-pregnancy state overnight after giving birth. Coupled with some unfavorable public opinion, it was indeed pressure for her.
Lilly listened silently and kept it in her heart.
"Uncle Edward, I want to talk to my little brother!" Lilly still had something greasy in her hand.
Edward gladly pressed the voice button for her.
Lilly said, "Uncle Jonas, Aunt Quinnie, Merry Christmas! Mr. and Mrs. Woods, Merry Christmas!"
"Little brother, come early tomorrow. I will give you a big gift!"
She didn't mention a gift specifically to Quinnie. She thought as Quinnie's former friend, Quinnie must not want to be treated specially.
The voice message was sent.
On the other side, Jonas looked at the two voice messages Edward sent.
He didn't even want to open them!
He knew without thinking that it was him showing off again.
Jonas snorted and threw his phone aside.
