Upon returning to the Farwell residence, Elias and Sonya asked about Grant’s condition. Seeing that his wife looked exhausted, Lucian asked her to go upstairs and rest. He then informed the rest about Grant’s condition.
“He’s fine! Roxanne’s medical skills are truly amazing. The hospital said that Grant only had half a month to live, but he can now live for three months after her treatment!”
Elias was awed by Roxanne’s skills. Sonya, however, had a more indifferent reaction. “People like Grant don’t deserve to live that long. Fortunately, he has such a capable daughter, but he has never treated her well.”
Before Elias left for the school to pick up the children, Lucian instructed the couple not to mention the life-and-death issues in front of the children.
When the children returned, they all wanted to talk to their mother. Lucian quickly persuaded them, “Your mommy is a little tired today. Let her rest for a while!”
The three little ones nodded obediently and promised to behave. After sleeping for over an hour, Roxanne woke up feeling much more energetic. It was normal to feel sleepy in the early stages of pregnancy. As soon as she walked out of the room, the children rushed out, smiling. “Mommy, you’re awake!”
The sight of their happy faces lifted Roxanne’s spirits. “Mommy, I have a gift for you!” Estella kissed her mother and ran into her room. When she came out, she had a very exquisitely knitted scarf in her hand.
When Roxanne crouched down to hug her daughter, she immediately wrapped the scarf lightly around her mother’s neck. After tidying it up, she asked expectantly, “Mommy, is it comfortable? Do you feel warm?”
“Essie is really brilliant! The pattern on this scarf is really beautiful. It’s no wonder she’s a little genius in design. The scarf is fluffy and soft, it really suits me. Thank you so much.” Roxanne never hesitated to praise her children.
The little girl smiled brightly and gave her two older brothers a knowing eye gesture as if she had won something. As soon as Archie and Benny saw her reaction, they felt that their gifts to their mother might lose out.
“Mommy, I have something for you too!” “Me too, Mommy. It’s going to get cold soon. Look what I prepared for you!” The two boys also rushed into the room and then took out the gifts they had prepared.
Their actions puzzled Roxanne a little, and she wondered if there was a special occasion. After all, her children were vying to give her gifts. And then it hit her. Today is my birthday!
She had almost forgotten it. Her birthday was right after the beginning of winter!
Archie gave Roxanne an emerald necklace. “Mommy, this is a piece of emerald that I found in the market. It has a history of several hundred years, but unfortunately, the shopkeeper didn’t know its value. I bought it at a discount and then polished it myself!”
With tender eyes, Roxanne received the necklace from Archie and felt its warm and cool touch. Even though the color was not as pure as that of an emerald, it was expertly polished to a smooth finish, revealing Archie’s attentive nature.
She immediately leaned down and kissed her son. “Mommy really likes this gift!”
“And me, and me! Mommy, I also have a gift!” Benny was very anxious and immediately opened the gift box in his hand.
Roxanne continued to smile brightly. Her eyes lit up when she saw Benny’s gift. It was an exquisitely crafted wooden sculpture, which was very delicate and hyper-realistic.
“Mommy, I bought this from the wood market. This is a kind of wood that has been submerged in water all year round. I could only make it this small because I only bought a small piece.”
The wooden sculpture was a goddess statue.
Roxanne looked at it and praised Benny’s craftsmanship. “It’s amazing! Mommy likes it too. I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful!”
After that, she praised the three little ones, “Mommy likes all the birthday gifts you prepared! Thank you so much!”
However, she couldn’t help but feel nervous. What should I prepare for my children’s birthdays? Where can I find meaningful gifts? I’m under a lot of pressure being their mom.
