She gulped down her food in a rush and hurried back into the room.

The infant had fallen asleep after taking the medicine.

Shen Manting stood beside the crib and stared at the sleeping infant’s serene face. Her lips curled in a contented smile.

She never tired of staring at the infant’s delicate, tender face.

She caressed his little hands and face from time to time. She even thought that his fetal hair looked adorable.

She finally sat down after standing by the crib for a long time.

Being a mother was a joyously gratifying experience.

If it wasn’t for Shen Luo’an, maybe her life would have turned out differently.

But it was already too late.

From the moment she agreed to follow Mrs. Shen home, she was destined to live an extraordinary life.

She checked the time. The infant had been sleeping for over an hour. Judging from his usual routine, he would be waking from his nap soon.

She immediately went to boil some water to be mixed with the milk powder. As if on cue, the infant woke up crying right after she had prepared the milk.

Shen Manting looked at him and heaved a sigh of relief.

She tested the temperature of the milk to make sure it was suitable to drink. Then, she set it aside and picked up the infant.

She gave the milk bottle to the infant. Within seconds, the infant stopped crying and grasped the bottle with his tender hands, sucking the milk eagerly.

Shen Manting’s heart ached as she watched the infant gulp down the milk.

Back when she had just left her baby, her breasts were painfully swollen with milk.

Every day, she imagined herself cradling her baby as he suckled on her breasts for milk.

For over half a month, she had been fantasizing about breastfeeding her child.

Her yearning only started fading when she began traveling with the little savings she had left while working casual jobs to support herself.

However, she couldn’t resist coming back to work at the encouragement of the recruiting department.

The decision to return here to work made Shen Manting feel increasingly guilty inside.

The infant finished his milk and stared at Shen Manting with his bright, round eyes.

His tender feet were fidgeting about. He glanced up at Shen Manting and extended his small fists.
