So no matter what happens next, Patrick won’t tell anything more about his worries or fears to Aimee.
Aimee knew exactly what Patrick was thinking when she pulled down his hands and pressed her face against his chest.
She said softly, “Believe me. I will cure grandpa.”
Patrick held onto her tightly as he said softly, “I believe in you.”
They both stood there in silence for a while before finally standing up.
A few moments later, Aimee spoke, “I’m going to check on Ridge and Rosemary.”
Recently, she had been preoccupied with Camdyn’s condition, and hadn’t had much time left for Ridge or Rosemary.
Fortunately, the two little ones were easy-going. They just needed food, and they wouldn’t bother
Aimee anymore after eating their fill.
When Aimee arrived at the baby room, Ridge and Rosemary were sleeping soundly. She looked at their cute sleeping faces, and suddenly felt overwhelmed by emotions.
She realized that, in this moment, she really didn’t want anything else except wishing good health and happiness upon everyone around her – family, friends and children alike. It would be enough if everyone could stay safe and sound forever.
Patrick came over, hugged Aimee’s shoulders and said, “They are happiest right now.”
Looking up towards Patrick, Aimee replied, “Let them continue being happy then.”
She was not a strict parent, and Patrick was not either. They will not ask their children to grow up to make contributions to society.
As long as they didn’t do illegal things, in the future, the two of them can do whatever they want and be happy.
Patrick said, “But I still hope that at least one of them can be a little bit ambitious.”
Aimee burst into laughter when she heard this.
The reason why Patrick said that was very simple.
Because someone always had to inherit Hayden Group.
Among the four siblings, only Miles had a career ambition, but his career ambition was not in the
Hayden Group.
If none of their four children had any ambition, it would be another tug-of-war between him and Walter.
Both of them didn’t want to manage the company, and they had been fighting each other for so many years.
Aimee said, “There are at least another twenty years. You are worrying about this now. Isn’t it too early?”
He didn’t know if what he was worried was too early. What he did know was that Casey was definitely practicing a free-range parenting policy with her child. If the child inherited his or her uncle’s genes, had ambition and worked hard, it might make him or her interested in inheriting the family fortune. If the child took after his or her mother, then he or she would be mischievous.
The Hayden family didn’t have any expectations for their next generation to become successful. They just wanted them to be happy.
Life is short and if there wasn’t even a place where one can indulge themselves freely, then that would be too regrettable.
As for Walter and Miles, they didn’t even know where their children were at this moment, let alone what they could expect from them.
Aimee said, “Okay, don’t worry so much about it. As long as they’re willing to do it themselves, what else is there to fear?”
Patrick touched Aimee’s head and said, “I’ll listen to you.”
As soon as they left the room, they saw Casey coming out with her belly bulging out.
When she saw Aimee, she asked, “Aimee, is grandpa still not awake?”
Her face had tears on it because she had just had a bad dream while sleeping earlier, which made
Casey very uneasy.
In her dream, Grandpa told her that since she was going to become a mother, she couldn’t act spoiled anymore. Casey cried uncontrollably in her dream, which made her feel numb when waking up now.
Aimee comforted Casey when seeing how upset she looked by saying, “Don’t worry. Although grandpa hasn’t woken up yet, all indicators are good, so nothing will happen.”
Casey hugged Aimee tightly, leaning against her shoulder and shaking all over. Aimee gently stroked
Casey’s back, saying, “Don’t worry about these things right now. The most important thing is taking care of yourself. You understand?”
Casey nodded just as at this time the little one inside kicked her stomach, telling her not to worry .
Casey rubbed gently on top of stomach without telling Patrick or Aimee anything about what happened in the dream.
She knew Patrick loved Grandpa most. If she told him these things, Patrick wouldn’t be able handle them well.
Casey said, “Aimee, you should also take care of yourself.” Just having given birth but encountering such an event, Aimee’s physical quality must have been good. Otherwise, she might’ve collapsed by now.
Aimee touched Casey’s head and said, “Are you hungry? Let me get you something to eat?”
Patrick said, “Let me do it. You rest for a while.”
Who would have thought that among the siblings of the Hayden family, the one who can cook was actually Patrick.
Aimee nodded, and in order to ease Casey’s emotions, she also said to her, “Patrick cooks. Don’t you order?”
Casey hugged Aimee and thought for a while, then said, “Plain noodles with a poached egg.”
She would like to eat something else, but Patrick’s cooking skills were only at the level of being able to cook, and he can’t cook whatever complicated food she wanted to eat.
Aimee gave a low laugh and said, “Then I’ll eat this too. It’s easy to digest.”
In order to replenish her strength before, Patrick got a recipe from someone she didn’t know, and gave her many nutritious stuff.
She actually didn’t need it, but she didn’t want Patrick’s hard work to go to waste, so she bit the bullet and ate it.
Right now, she just wanted to eat something light.
Making a bowl of plain noodles was easy, but making them delicious was not an easy task.
Patrick, on the other hand, found it easier to make something more complex.
After spending twenty minutes in the kitchen, Patrick had made two bowls of plain noodles.
Casey and Aimee walked over and saw the perfectly made noodles. They both gave Patrick a thumbs up and said, “Looks great!”
Patrick smiled, knowing they were exaggerating to make him feel good but was still happy inside.
Aimee looked at Patrick and asked, “Just two bowls? Aren’t you going to eat?”
“I’m not hungry,” replied Patrick.
“Even if you’re not hungry, have some,” said Aimee as she went back into the kitchen and brought out another small bowl for them to share.
Casey slurped her noodles while saying with her mouth full, “Aimee really spoils you. Sorry Patrick, I won’t share with you.”
Patrick raised his eyebrows at Casey’s comment, and wasn’t expecting anything from her anyway.
After finishing their meal together, Aimee went back to Camdyn’s room where Kelvin had taken over watching him for now.
“How is he doing? Any changes?” asked Aimee.
“It’s still the same,” replied Kelvin.
For these past few days, they had been taking turns monitoring Camdyn’s data but all his readings were normal except that he hadn’t woken up yet.
They couldn’t figure out why, which was causing them headaches.
“You should go eat something too and rest for a bit with Casey,” suggested Aimee.
Kelvin’s eyes narrowed slightly as he nervously looked at Aimee.
She said, “Don’t worry too much about Casey. She’s just pregnant.”
Pregnant women tend to be more sensitive than usual so it was important that someone close stay by their side during this time.
Kelvin nodded without saying much before leaving the room.
Casey didn’t want to be alone so she stayed in the living room with Patrick, keeping her company while waiting for Kelvin’s turn again later on.
As soon as Kelvin came out of the room though, Casey immediately turned towards him, looking pitifully sad, like a little girl who lost her toy or candy. Patrick teased, “Got yourself a husband now huh?”
Casey stuck out her tongue, playfully responding, “You’re the same!”
In the Hayden family, Patrick was the first to value his wife over siblings.
Patrick raised his eyes and glanced sideways at Casey, which meant that her husband was her backer when he came.
Wasn’t that what Casey thought? Sh hid behind Kelvin, not forgetting to make a “you can’t help me”
expression at Patrick.
Patrick was speechless, but he also knew what kind of person his sister was, and it was impossible to really care about her words.
He stood up and said to Kelvin, “Aimee and Casey just ate plain noodles cooked by myself, and I’ll make you a bowl too.”
Kelvin just wanted to say no, because if he was hungry, he’ll get something to eat himself.
Unexpectedly, Casey had already said, “Two poached eggs. Thank you, Patrick.”
Patrick was speechless again.
Casey didn’t look at Patrick, but hugged Kelvin’s arm and said, “Hubby, the noodles made by Patrick are delicious. You must try them.”
Kelvin smiled and said, “I won’t be polite with Patrick then.”
Patrick shrugged and could only turn around and head into the kitchen.
He made another bowl of plain noodles, which he had become quite skilled at making.
