"Everything went smoothly."
The doctor reassured that the baby was perfectly healthy.
It had been a while since the siblings last saw each other.
Dominic sensed they had a lot to catch up on, so he took the initiative to discuss details with the doctor.
"Bro, how have you been lately?"
"Pretty good," Elijah nodded. "I've got the best team working on Dad's treatment. If all goes well, he might wake up soon."
Estelle's eyes instantly teared up. "Bro, I'm sorry, I should have done more—"
If only she had found the best doctors earlier, maybe their dad wouldn't have been in a coma for so long.
"It's not your fault."
The Ulbrichts were on the brink of disaster, and if not for Estelle, their parents would have been gone by now.
"Just focus on your pregnancy, leave the rest to me."
Elijah hugged Estelle. "Mom misses you too. Come back home when you're ready."
"I will," she promised.
Estelle then brought up the royal engagement. "Bro, since you know Eltham, what's he like?"
"You're asking about his engagement to Brittany?"
Elijah was candid. "He's indeed a reliable man, but Ms. Lynette doesn't seem to fancy him much."
That was an understatement.
Brittany had never shown the slightest interest in Eltham.
Estelle still felt uneasy. "Got it."
After leaving the hospital, Estelle enjoyed a soup Mrs. Hartman had prepared and watched some TV with her before heading upstairs.
Mrs. Hartman had always been fond of Estelle. If not for the Ulbrichts' downfall, there wouldn't have been any distance between them.
Now that Estelle was expecting and Ivy had passed on, she had taken Estelle under her wing.
"Dominic."
He brought a warm glass of milk to the study. "You and Estelle have been together for quite some time. Pick a good day and get that marriage license."
They already had a child on the way; it was high time to ditch the illegitimate status!
Dominic accepted the warm milk. "Mom, I've got plans."
