Chapter 150
His thin lips were pressed into a sharp line, and his deep,, dark eyes were filled with cold detachment.
Natalia recognized the man; he was Belinda’s father, named Wilfred.
She put down her camera and quietly watched Wilfred.
After entering, Wilfred’s gaze swept around the room.
He didn’t see Josephine or Zachery, only the caregiver and the little girl on the hospital bed.
The caregiver asked, “And you are…?”
“Uncle.” Natalia maintained basic politeness and greeted him first.
Hearing Natalia call him ‘uncle‘, the caregiver realized they knew each other and didn’t ask him to leave.
Wilfred nodded in response: “Mm, where are your guardians?”
“They went to the inpatient building.”
They? This little girl really regarded Josephine as her guardian.
Wilfred felt uncomfortable inside, but didn’t show it.
Inside his suit jacket was a princess doll that Belinda no longer wanted. Wilfred took it out and gave it to Natalia.
The little princess happened to be wearing a pink dress, which Natalia quite liked. She accepted it with both hands: “Thank you, uncle.‘
The caregiver brought over a chair for Wilfred.
”
Wilfred had come to see what Josephine and Zachery were up to, and to discuss compensation.
Since they weren’t there, he should have left, but looking at the little girl’s pure, innocent smile, he sat down almost involuntarily.

Noticing Wilfred wasn’t wearing a mask, Natalia asked, “Uncle, I have pneumonia. Aren’t you afraid of catching it?”
“I’m not afraid. I’m an adult.”
“But if adults get pneumonia, it’s uncomfortable too.”
Natalia took a children’s mask and put it on herself, so as not to infect Belinda’s father.
Wilfred reached out and ruffled Natalia’s hair.
This little girl truly lived up to the name Natalia; her words and actions were so warm and comforting.
The caregiver went to the open kitchen in the living room to make pear soup for Natalia.
Only Wilfred and Natalia were left in the hospital room.
Wilfred asked Natalia, “Do you blame Belinda for giving you the jelly?”
Natalia shook her head: “The jelly was given to me by Albert, so I can’t blame Belinda. I don’t blame Albert either; he didn’t know the jelly would cause stomach problems.”
Wilfred was surprised by the girl’s clarity and understanding. After a moment’s pause, he asked, “Then is there anything you want? I’ll make it up to you on Belinda’s behalf.”
Looking at the princess doll in her hand, Natalia shared her worries with Wilfred, hoping he could help.
“Belinda always thinks I stole her mother, and she makes things difficult for me at school… Uncle, could you talk to Belinda?”
Wilfred was silent for a moment, then said, “Alright, I’ll talk to her.”
Natalia smiled happily.
But the next second, she heard Wilfred say:
wouldn’t steal Belinda’s mother. And in this world, the person closest to “I believe you Belinda will always be her mother–no one, not even me, can compare.”
“Have
you ever looked at your own belly button? That’s where a mother and child are connected. Once, a mother and her child were the same person. Through the umbilical cord, the mother provided all the food and nutrients the child needed to grow and be born.”
