If he could, he wished he were the one lying in the operating room instead of her. But in reality, no matter how powerful he was, he could only wait outside.
Narissa gave birth the next day. Dion rushed to see her the moment he could. His eyes were red as he held her hand tightly, staring at her. “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
She smiled faintly, exhausted and closed her eyes. The baby was later named Nadine, taking one character from both Narissa’s and Dion’s names.
The child was carefully looked after by the Ashford Family, while Narissa was sent to a postpartum care center to recover her health.
Months later, after she had fully recovered, John urged Dion, “While you’re still young, go out and enjoy life. Take your wife and have some fun. As for the child, leave her with your mother
and me.”
Carol, holding the baby, brought her over to Narissa. Nadine’s features were delicate and fair, inheriting the best traits from both Narissa and Dion.

The child opened her mouth as if to bite her and Narissa quickly pulled her hand back in surprise, goosebumps rising on her skin.
Carol chuckled softly. “She’s probably just hungry. Look at her, she’s grown so much.” Narissa smiled, feeling a sense of nostalgia. “She used to be just a tiny bundle in the photos. Now look how much she’s grown.”
She no longer dared to reach out and tease the child.
Soon, Dion took her on trips across the country. Whenever they missed the child, they would

For occasionally coming home during the New Year, they traveled around the world, which led to Nadine becoming extremely unfamiliar with her parents after
their return.
Narissa carefully picked her up and Carol pinched little Nadine’s cheek. “Call mommy.”
Nadine, being bold and unafraid, responded, “Mommy, hug.”
Narissa’s heart softened completely. Overcome with guilt, they stopped wandering around and began staying at home to accompany their parents and child.
At the photo studio, Dion took a family portrait with his loved ones and the photo was hung in the living room.
His parents smiled happily as they admired the framed picture, continuously praising it. Nadine was beside them, playing with building blocks, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere.
Dion reached out and held Narissa’s hand, their fingers intertwined. “Narissa, meeting you the happiest thing that’s ever happened to me.”

For three years, except for occasionally coming home during the New Year, they traveled around the world, which led to Nadine becoming extremely unfamiliar with her parents after
their return.

Nadine, being bold and unafraid, responded, “Mommy, hug.”

Narissa met his gaze and smiled softly. “I feel the same.”
If it weren’t for going abroad, she might never have met him. Looking back now, everything felt like a dream. In her heart, she was deeply grateful to God for bringing Dion into her life.
