Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 552

“Absolutely. If you drive, Frank will be really concerned. Go ahead, Frank is waiting for you,” Natalie said as her slender legs gracefully entered the vehicle. She glanced at Frank, and he nodded in agreement. Natalie started the vehicle with a loud sound.

As Natalie put on her black helmet, Ava reluctantly started to shift her feet. “Goodbye, sister. I will return tomorrow afternoon,” she said, bidding her farewell.

Natalie half-squatted and propped her legs on the ground as she spoke, “I’ll see you off tomorrow.”

“I don’t think so,” Ava replied with a shrug and a smile. “You’ve already given me so many send-offs, and besides, Frank will accompany me this time. Hehe.”

Natalie nodded at Frank, who had just exited the car, understanding his intentions. She twisted the accelerator and quickly sped away, leaving behind a fading roar in the distance.

Athana Hospital.

After parting ways with Natalie, Ava didn’t immediately return to the hospital. Instead, she spent a few hours shopping with Frank and purchased some clothes for Rose’s newborn baby.

Rose was asleep in the hospital ward, as was the baby. Grace was prepared to let Ava and Frank leave and go home. “You guys don’t have to stay here. You can go home,” she suggested.

Ava glanced towards the cradle and whispered to Grace, “Can I sleep here tonight?”

Grace was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this. Then, Edward turned to his mother and said, “Mom, since Frank and Ava are here, you can take the day off today. Come back tomorrow.”

Juana was not oblivious to the fact that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law desired some alone time together. It was true that Rose didn’t need an excessive number of people looking after her.

Understanding this, Juana agreed willingly and said, “Alright, I will head back first. Please take care of

Rose.”

Edward had accepted the fact that Ava was his sister-in-law.

Since Ava wanted to stay in the hospital at night, Frank did not object. It was fine as long as he could be with her.

Grace spoke up and said, “We are both mothers, and our ultimate desire is to see our children doing well.” Juana nodded and added, “Indeed, indeed. Well, I’ll be taking my leave now. Goodbye, Ava and Frank.” Ava said, “Goodbye, Mrs. Landor.”

The ward consisted of three rooms: Grace’s room, Juana’s room, and Edward’s room. However, in order to provide better care for Rose, Edward opted to sleep on the sofa instead of his bed. As a result, Frank occupied Edward’s room.

Edward grabbed his coat and spoke softly to his mother-in-law, saying, “Mom, I’ll take my mother back first.

Grace responded, “Yes, take your time. Drive safe.”

Edward replied, “I will.”

Frank had already made his way to the cradle and was now standing beside it. His gaze was fixed intently on his sleeping nephew, not even blinking once. The little one looked so peaceful in his sleep. Grace took a quick glance at her son but chose not to say anything. Instead, she walked over to check on her son’s

Eagerly following behind Grace, Ava held onto her wrist from behind and whispered, “Grace, did you notice how much Frank loves babies? Look at his gaze just now. It was so warm and full of joy.”
