Chapter 1372 Baby Is Coming Home
Shane arched his brows and smiled as he held her. “Are you okay?” asked Shane while his arms were still around her waist. Natalie nodded and tapped her own chest. “I’m fine. Those two rascals scared me. That’s all.”
After saying that, Natalie turned around and pretended to be mad at the kids. “You kids…”
Before she even finished speaking, both kids stuck their tongues out at her before holding hands and making their way to the dining room. They were giggling the entire way.
“Those two truly are troublemakers,” commented Natalie in exasperation as she stared at them. “They’re just trying to get us closer to one another,” informed Shane while looking into her eyes.
Natalie nodded. “I know. That is why I’m not actually mad at them. If they had done that for no reason, I would’ve taught them a lesson.”
“I trust our kids. They are not like the other ordinary kids, who would pull pranks for no reason,” replied Shane. He chuckled, then moved his arms away from her waist to hold her hand instead. “Come on. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s head to the dining room for now.”
“Okay,” replied Natalie as she nodded with a smile.
They were having breakfast when Mrs. Wilson suddenly led Silas into the room.
Silas stood in front of Shane and greeted, “Good morning, Mrs. Thompson. Good morning, kids.”
“Good morning, Mr. Campbell,” greeted the two kids simultaneously after they turned their heads to him.
Natalie smiled at him, too. “Good morning, Mr. Campbell.”
“What brings you over this early in the morning?” asked Shane after he sipped some coffee.
“I have some good news to share,” replied Silas. As he did so, he retrieved a folder from his briefcase. “This is a copy of the document for the baby’s return to the country. All the paperwork is done and approved.”
After that, Silas presented the papers to Shane.
However, before he got to hand it over, Natalie snatched the papers in excitement. “This is paperwork for Anders’ return to the country?”
“It’s just a copy,” replied Silas. “The original has already been sent to the embassy. That is why I made a copy for you and Mr. Thompson.”
It didn’t matter that it wasn’t the original, though. The most important bit was that their baby was coming home.
“Did you just say that all the paperwork has been approved?” asked Shane as he put his cup of coffee down.
Silas nodded. “Yes, I did.”
“Then that means Anders can come home, right?” asked Natalie. She was so excited that she gripped the copy she was holding.
When the kids heard about how their baby brother might be coming home, their eyes shone in delight. They dropped the spoons they were holding as well.
“Mommy, is my baby brother coming home?” asked Sharon.
Connor replied, “That’s right. Mr. Campbell said that the paperwork is approved, so that must mean that Anders can come home.”
“Yes, you are right. Your baby brother can return,” replied Silas while smiling.
Natalie was so happy that her eyes reddened with tears of joy. “That’s amazing. That is so wonderful. Shane, did you hear that? Our baby is coming home.”
Shane nodded while smiling. “Yes, I heard it.”
He paused for a moment before asking, “When will he be back?”
“He’ll be home within two days. Everything has been settled in the foreign country, and all that’s left is for the embassy to officially stamp its approval. The baby can come home immediately after,” replied Silas.
Natalie was so happy that she was sniffling a little. “Two days… That’s amazing news. I can see my baby in two days…”
“Yay, we can be with our baby brother,” cheered Sharon who was so happy that she jumped a little.
She had only seen Anders a few times, but she still remembered that tiny and fragile baby with reddened skin. The image of him lying in the incubator had made an impression on her.
It was at that moment that she finally understood why Connor had always looked out for her. I was tiny and needed to be protected and taken care of, but I’m a big girl now. On the other hand, my baby brother is tiny, so I must care for him.
“Is everything settled at the hospital?” asked Shane.
Even though the baby was returning, it was still too weak and had to stay in an incubator.
“Everything has been arranged. As per your instructions, we will not be going to a hospital owned by the Baker family. Instead, the baby will be in a hospital you own,” answered Silas.
