Alexis had just been delivered of the baby when she and the baby were both sent to the observation room. They had to stay there for two hours before they could return to the ward.
Her family members were not allowed to go inside to keep her company, so Justin could only sit right outside the observation room.
Scarlett gave a yawn. Raymond looked at her, lifted his hand and tucked her stray hair behind her ear. "Are you sleepy?"
"A little."
It was 11 p.m. Scarlett and Raymond had stayed in the hospital for almost ten hours. Even at ordinary times, Scarlett would be drowsy at this hour, not to mention she had kept Alexis company for a whole day, consumed with apprehension from start to finish.
Scarlett gave another yawn immediately after making a reply.
At that time, her cellphone rang in her handbag.
Scarlett looked at Raymond. He released her hand to let her get her phone.
Scarlett pulled out her cellphone and glanced at the caller ID.
The call was from Justin.
"Scarlett, it's me.
"It's getting late. You and Mr. Shaw should go back. Alexis is exhausted. Even if they get her out of the observation room later, chances are that she'll sleep all night."
Justin had composed himself. He sounded much cool-headed now.
Scarlett's lips curved in a smile as she recalled him asking the nurse repeatedly whether Alexis was asleep just now. "Okay, I understand. I'll come back here tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
