Chapter 548
After everyone left, Sherri finally came late and carefully pushed open the door.
When she stepped into the room, she realized that it was abnormally quiet. It was so quiet that she could hear her own breathing. She gently walked into the ward and poked her head in to take a look only to find that everyone was asleep. Sherri’s mother was asleep in the guest room, while her brother was asleep on the couch.
Her older brother probably fell asleep on the couch because he needed to look after Rose. He probably feared he wouldn’t react if he slept too soundly. Even the little guy in the cradle was sleeping soundly. Grace slept in another room with the door open.
In such a quiet environment, Sherri did not even dare to breathe too hard for fear of waking them up. She quietly left the room and gently closed the door.
Sherri also applied for leave today. She didn’t sleep the entire night. She wasn’t made of steel. She didn’t want to die suddenly, so she could only change shifts with her colleague who was in the same department.
She returned to the consultation room and changed out of her white coat. She was planning on heading back to the Landor family home to bring her child back to the Blackwell family. In a few days, Rose was going to come home for postpartum recovery.
In the Turner Manor, the person on the bed stretched out her smooth arms and covered her mouth with her hand. She yawned, and her eyes were shining because of the yawn she just had.
The first thing she did when she woke up was to look for her phone. She subconsciously searched under her pillow and realized that she did not find it. Only then did she remember that she had placed it at the head of the bed last night.
Ava wanted to see if Frank had sent her a message, but as soon as she turned on her phone, she was given a surprise. She looked at the time and saw that it was sent in the early morning, which meant that Rose gave birth early in the morning. Currently, Rose should be sleeping now.
After speculating on this, Ava sat up and prepared to share the good news with her mother and the others.
At the same time, she wanted to let her pregnant sister-in-law see such a cute baby for herself.
Ava quickly sat up and threw the blanket to the side. Because she was in a hurry, she put the shoes on the wrong food and had to take them off before putting them back on again. She combed her hair and casually tied it with a hairband she found in the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes later, Ava, who had washed up, put on light makeup. She only applied some foundation and lipstick. The makeup style made her skin look creamy and moist on her cheeks as if it had absorbed a lot of water.
In the living room downstairs, Emma and Christina were quietly doing their own thing. Emma was reading a book, and Christina was reading a proposal letter.
It was a little tiring to wake up in the morning. Joseph did not allow Christina to go to work. In certain aspects, Joseph was very domineering.
However, Christina also knew that it was for her own good, so she naturally indulged in Joseph’s domineeringness.
The light footsteps on the stairs attracted the attention of Emma and Christina. They shifted their gaze from their focus to Ava. They saw that Ava was in a hurry to come downstairs and was jumping two steps down at a time.
Emma frowned and said gently, “There’s no hurry. Slow down.”
How could Ava, who was in a hurry to share the news, listen? She walked to the couch in a few steps took out her phone to show her mother and Chistina the photo. “Guess who this is.”

Ava pretended to be mysterious and smiled brightly. She was really happy.
She now had another identity. She was an aunt.
Emma held her daughter’s hand and pulled the phone closer to her eyes. Emma looked at it for a few seconds and smiled gently. “Has Rose given birth?”
Ava nodded, indicating that it was. “Yep, she’s given birth. Look at what Frank wrote in the post. It’s a boy.”
When Christina heard this, she was about to stand up. Seeing that she was pregnant, Ava quickly walked over and pressed down on Christina’s shoulder. “Christina, don’t move. Last night, my brother told me that you’ve been a little tired these last few days and told me to keep an eye on you. My mission is very important. Sit down and I’ll bring it over for you to see.”
Christina’s heart warmed. She did not expect Joseph to instruct his sister just because she said that her legs were a little sore. What Christina did not know was that Joseph not only instructed his sister, but he also told his mother and the maids that the floor wasn’t allowed to be wet, nor was the food allowed to be too salty, and so on. The instructions were very detailed.
Christina smiled. “Your brother is really something. He’s just making a fuss of nothing. There’s nothing wrong with me. Let me take a look.”
Ava sat down beside Christina and showed her the phone. “I think the little darling’s eyes look like Rose. His mouth looks like hers too. When he grows up, he’ll definitely be a handsome little boy. Christina, the little one in your stomach will also be good-looking.”
Christina looked at the photo on the screen and subconsciously touched her stomach. Emma hurriedly said, “Don’t feel burdened. The Turner family doesn’t have any preference when it comes to boys or girls. Perhaps we might be more inclined to girls. Just look at Joseph. He dotes on his younger sister a lot.” Christina nodded. “Mom, I know. Are you guys going to Athana?”
“I think so. Has the company been busy recently?” While Emma wanted to go, she had to consider Christina’s physical condition. If Christina was not in good condition, Emma wouldn’t be able to go. Her husband had to go to the company while Joseph had to come back to accompany her daughter-in-law.
Emma knew what she should do and not do. If she really couldn’t go, Grace wouldn’t mind.
Christina was very smart and understood what her mother-in-law meant. She pushed the phone back to Ava and leaned against the back of the couch. “Mom, if you and Dad want to go, go ahead. Joseph and I will take care of the company. I don’t have any other problems. Maybe because I stood for quite some time in the meeting yesterday so my legs are a little sore. I’ll be fine after resting for a day.”
“Then let’s discuss it when your father comes back. Ava, are you going?” Emma asked his daughter.
