A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1319

Once Melanie was at ease, she looked at Alejandro and said, “We won’t be able to hide the truth from grandpa. I believe we should just tell him since the child has already been born. The reason we had this surgery was so that grandpa would be able to see his grandchild earlier. As for my family... I’ll tell them about it after I’m discharged.” Melanie was worried that her family would head over to the hospital and cause a scene the moment they found out. Just thinking about the scene gave her nightmares. All she wanted at that moment was some peace and quiet.

Alejandro nodded his head. He took out his cell phone and recorded a video to send it to Don Smith, informing the latter that the child had been born and which hospital they were at. As Alejandro was recording the video, he took a good look at his child’s face. She could not be considered to be pretty, her skin glowed red and was rather thin, unlike other babies, who would have fairer skin. However, Alejandro actually thought that the child did not look ugly. In fact, he felt as though he could keep on looking at her.

When Don Smith found out about the truth, he did not spare the time to call and scold Alejandro. Instead, he angrily rushed to the hospital.

When Don Smith saw Melanie and her child, tears seemed to well up in his eyes, although he tried to conceal it. “Melanie, why didn’t you listen to me? You and your child’s safety is what mattered most... Why did you have to give birth prematurely?”

Melanie laughed. “Grandpa, aren’t the both of us safe in the end? We’re fine. Would you like to hold the baby?”
