Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 1637

"It will be fine, Leena," Tom comforted. "Usually, it should clear up without treatment. With few exceptions, of course," Unless it was pathologic jaundice, it was expected for mild jaundice to go on its own. The odds that a newborn suffered from pathologic jaundice were relatively low, and Tom doubted that Leena's son would be one of them.

Determined not to let her son suffer, Leena tried to nurse him as best as she could over the next few days. Perhaps it was because she had only just begun with breastfeeding, she found it really hurt when the baby sucked. Nonetheless, she withstood the pain without a single complaint.

As soon as Shannon learned that Leena had gone into labor, she dropped everything she was doing and left for the S City right away. Not only that, Nathan had also gone with her. Obviously, they were just as excited to meet their grandson.

As soon as they arrived, Shannon quickly thanked the new mother. "Thank you so much for all the sacrifices you've made, Leena. You were so brave without Kevin being there for you, even though he should have been. And we couldn't come to you at once since we live so far away. I'm so sorry for letting you face it alone. We all should've been here to look after you," She said sincerely. For her, Leena was precious, and often gave her heartaches, not only because she was a sensible girl and often thought of others before herself, but also because she was such a brave woman who faced difficulties head on. She looked so delicate, and yet at the same time, she was willing to shoulder so much burden.

"That's all right, Mom. Many of my friends have come and taken great care of me. I never felt that I was alone," Leena replied. They weren't just empty, polite words. Not a single second passed by without having people in her ward to take care of her. She was, truly, taken good care of the whole time she was in the hospital.

"I can see that too. But we still feel terrible about not having been there for you when you needed us the most," Shannon said, sighing. Knowing the story of Leena losing her mother at a very early age, Shannon had decided to accompany her into the delivery room to relieve her fear. Alas, she never expected the baby to arrive early before the due date.

"You didn't mean to," Leena replied with a kind smile. "I know that." This was how she had always been. No matter how much she suffered, she'd still put on a beaming face to hide any signs of discomfort or sorrow, in case it made those around her worry. She was much like Rain in this respect.
