The hospital was still pretty busy, even though some people had left.

In Coleen's room, she told her son, "Go see Mia's baby, and don't go empty-handed. Buy a gift for the baby, as a welcome gesture."

Chad understood these social niceties well. He had bought a gift in the morning, but it was too crowded to give it. So, he came back in the afternoon.

He pulled out a box and handed it to Mia.

"Chad, what did you get for him?" Mia asked curiously.

Chad gently touched the baby's soft skin, his eyes lighting up with joy. "Since you call me 'bro', as an uncle, I should give my newborn nephew a little something."

Mia accepted the gift with a smile. "I'll take it on my son's behalf. Thanks, Chad."

By around ten that night, the room was finally empty.

Madison stayed at the hospital with her daughter, while Andre went to see off the last guests.

When he returned, he pulled out several envelopes from his coat and handed them to Mia. "These are from Xiaobai, Ayan, Nangong, and Master Xi for the baby. Keep them safe."

Mia held the thick stack of envelopes, her eyes practically turning into dollar signs. "I wonder how much this is."

Madison warned her, "This is for Henry. Don't be greedy with your kid's money."

Mia glanced at her mom with a sly smile. "Mom, how about I share some with you, and you keep it a secret?"

Madison laughed, "Don't try to bribe your mom."

Mia looked at the little one lying at the end of the bed. She leaned over her son, carefully observing the baby she had just given birth to. He looked much better after being cleaned up, all chubby and cute. Every time the little guy saw Mia, he'd smile, but when he saw Andre, he'd be quiet for a long time.

"Come count the money," Madison called out, eyeing the envelopes and gifts under the baby's crib.

Upon hearing about money, Mia immediately lost interest in the baby.
