Chapter 1972 Not Supposed to Know, but Knows Anyway

Cecelia chimed in, "I'll go prepare some food for you. The doctor said that when you wake up, you can start with water and then some semi-liquid food. I've already prepared everything, it's been in the adjacent resting room."

With those words, Cecelia turned and headed to the next room to prepare the meal. Luther pressed the button to call the doctor and nurses. Joyce got off the bed, "I'm going to freshen up, this sticky feeling on my face is unbearable."

Luther hurriedly held her back, "Don't move, I'll get you a towel, you just gave birth, can you get out of bed?"

Joyce pushed his hand away, "You're underestimating me. I didn't have a C-section, but even if I did, I could still get out of bed now."

As she spoke, she landed her feet steadily on the ground, taking a few steps. She felt relaxed all over, giving birth naturally was indeed different, it was like unloading cargo, her body quickly recovered. She had thought about having a C-section early, worried that Luther couldn't wait due to the poison in his body. Unexpectedly, an accident led to the early birth of the children. At the same time, the poison in Luther's body was also released, it was truly a happy accident after enduring hardships.

Luther accompanied Joyce to the VIP ward bathroom and handed her the prepared toiletries. After Joyce fixed herself up, she glanced at Luther, "You should shave, those whiskers were poking me earlier." Luther absentmindedly touched his chin, indeed, he hadn't had time for himself the past few days. "Okay," he replied.

At that moment, the doctor and nurse entered the room. Joyce returned to bed. Shortly after, Luther finished shaving and rejoined her. The doctor conducted a detailed examination on Joyce. The nurse wheeled in a portable ultrasound machine and an X-ray machine, setting up a radiation shield curtain before performing the ultrasound on Joyce. Once done, the nurse wheeled the machines away. The doctor opened their electronic device and reviewed the examination results uploaded, meticulously going through each one.

Meanwhile, Cecelia brought in the semi-liquid breakfast and placed it by the bedside, asking, "Doctor, how was the examination?"

While recording, the doctor replied, "The Marshal's body has recovered well, the placenta has detached cleanly, and the uterus is contracting well. The imaging shows no abnormalities, you can rest assured." Cecelia nodded, "That's good. Thank you, everyone."

The doctor respectfully responded, "It's our duty. Now, I'll have the nurse draw some blood for the Marshal, if the blood test results are fine, she can be discharged tomorrow." Luther was surprised, "So soon? Why not stay in the hospital for a few more days?"

The doctor raised their head, smiling, "No need, normally after a natural birth, three days of hospital stay is enough. The Marshal has a good foundation, she just needed some rest. Sleeping accelerates recovery. Leaving the hospital earlier is better for recuperating. Just keep warm, avoid cold foods, and rest well."

Glancing at the prepared meal, the doctor added, "Follow a gradual diet adjustment, starting from semi-liquid to soft foods, in a few days, she can eat normally with no special precautions needed." "I see," Cecelia recalled something, "The babies are still in the incubator, about breastfeeding..."

An experienced nurse interjected, "Regarding breastfeeding, we discussed this in our department this morning. The babies need to stay in the incubator for two weeks, we'll feed them formula milk. We suggest that the Marshal doesn't have to breastfeed, with modern scientific formula feeding, it's sufficient for the babies' needs."

Joyce furrowed her brows, looking at Cecelia and then Luther. She was conflicted, as a mother, she naturally wanted to breastfeed. When Andres and Alisha were born, she was in a coma for a long time and couldn't breastfeed. Now, the family was finally reunited. But...

She remembered before giving birth, she was almost taken away by Grayson, and Grayson's identity was still unclear. The counter electromagnetic pulse technology was still a huge risk. She couldn't ignore it. And she didn't know what the other side would do next? When would they start?

She hesitantly looked at Luther. Luther held her hand, "You decide, I support you."

From her eyes, he understood her worries. She was concerned that given the current situation, she might not be able to devote time to the children if needed for urgent business trips or international travels, breastfeeding would tie her down.

After a moment of dilemma, Joyce said, "Okay. We'll feed the babies formula milk."

Cecelia agreed, "Don't worry, everyone's here. We'll take care of the kids. Come on, finish eating first after the examination."

The doctor and nurse then said, "We'll leave first." Cecelia nodded. The doctor and nurse left.

Joyce took the porridge from Cecelia, which was very soft and salty, easy on the palate. She was indeed hungry and scooped spoonfuls to eat.

Cecelia handed Luther a bowl, "You stayed up for two nights with her, you deserve a meal. You didn't eat anything early in the morning, have some."

Taking the bowl, Luther smiled, "Nah, you've been taking care of me all along. Mom, why aren't you eating?"

Cecelia served some side dishes for Luther, "I've already eaten."

She then told Joyce, "You can't eat the side dishes for now, just stick to the porridge. For lunch and dinner, I'll make some vegetable porridge that suits your taste, with finely chopped beef." Joyce waved her hand, "It's not necessary, the hospital has specially prepared nutritious meals, it's fine. Mom, don't bother. By the way, I've finished. Let's go see the kids."

"Just wait a bit, the neonatal nurse has set visiting hours. Andres and Alisha are about to arrive, we'll go together." Cecelia checked her watch, "They should be here in the next 10 minutes." Joyce nodded, "Alright, let's wait for them."

"Andres and Alisha came yesterday, but you were still asleep. They've already visited the babies once. Alisha was ecstatic, she kept leaning on the incubator's glass. Impossible to move." Cecelia chuckled, "Alisha is so loving, she'll be a great big sister in the future."

"Andres looks so much like a responsible big brother," Luther praised Anderson.

"I must have worried them when I was in a coma," Joyce sighed.

"No, I told them that mommy was too tired from giving birth and needed more sleep," Cecelia said softly.

Joyce smiled and shook her head, "Only Alisha would believe that excuse, probably."

Cecelia, "..."

Luther, "..."

Indeed, it was challenging to hide things from Anderson.

Knowing what should be known, what shouldn't be known, and still knowing everything.
