Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“Stella, I have a question. Is your little finger naturally like that?” a female doctor asked.

Stella glanced at her broken pinkie and then at Jasper’s. Her eyes filled with tears as she replied, “I was abducted back then and my little finger was severed. He cut off his own so that I would not feel left out.”

“That’s so romantic,” The female doctor responded enviously.

Stella forced a smile. The incident may seem romantic to others, however, it was nothing but sorrow and agony for them.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Jasper wishes to undergo rehabilitation four hours a day. What suggestions and arrangements do you recommend?”

“Hmm,” Skye pondered for a moment prior to answering, “Let’s go for three and a half hours. We will arrange for an hour and a half of rehabilitation in the morning, allowing him to stretch and loosen his muscles, then another two hours at night to promote sleep. Would that be alright?”

Stella looked at Jasper.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Jasper nodded in response.

“That’s great. Once you finish your morning session, we could hang out and have lunch and dinner outside. We’ll come back after dinner,” Stella said to Jasper.

She turned to the doctors, “Go grab something to eat. I’m going to prepare Jasper’s meal.”

“Alright, Stella, I’ll hold Sandro,” Skye immediately went to carry the baby while another tried to grab Sandro’s attention.

Stella prepared a simple soup. She took some onions, lentils, carrots, potatoes, and corn and diced them. She then made some vegetarian broth and poured it into a boiling pot. After boiling the broth for a while, she added the diced vegetables and stirred the mixture from time to time to prevent it from sticking to the sides. When it was almost ready, she sprinkled salt and herbs into the broth while stirring until they were all cooked.

“That smells delicious! It’s making my mouth water just by looking at it,” Skye exclaimed.

“I’ve prepared a big pot. Everyone will get a portion. Please wait for a minute while I boil it for a little while longer to make it richer and tastier,” Stella responded while beaming.

She first scooped a bowl of the lentil soup and brought it to Jasper.

“Wow, I’m so blessed,” a doctor sighed.

The corners of Jasper’s mouth tugged just slightly upward as he lowered his head to taste the soup made by Stella.

“I feel that although Mr. Milton seems to show a cool indifference to everything, he has a very warm heart,” a doctor praised.

Jasper was the kind of person who would remain indifferent despite receiving compliments from others.

Stella grinned and proceeded to prepare meals for the other doctors.

Sandro had his gaze riveted upon Jasper’s bowl. He swallowed his saliva and moved his mouth. The doctors were amused at his adorable act.

Jasper turned to him.

Realizing that his actions had been discovered, he waved his little arms while laughing and shouting “Daddy! Daddy!” as if he was playing with Jasper.

Attracted by his cuteness, Jasper reached out to hold him in his lap.

Sandro snuggled into his arms.

“Sandro is really smart. He already knows how to cling to his father. What a fellow,” a doctor pinched Sandro’s cheeks.

He remained snuggled in Jasper’s arms, looking soft and adorable.

Holding Sandro in his arms, feeling the skin-to-skin warmth and his subtle movements, Jasper’s heart was full. An affectionate smile crossed his face, astounding the two female doctors who were passing by.

Nonetheless, they did not have any ulterior motives. They just thought that Jasper was an attractive man.

“Mr. Milton and Mr. Chuck are twins. Although they look exactly the same, they have very different personalities,” a doctor remarked.

Jasper stopped smiling and gazed intently at Stella. His deep-set eyes were filled with mixed emotions.

Stella noticed Jasper’s gaze. She looked at him and smiled slightly.

Jasper lowered his head and looked at Sandro.

Sandro began sucking on his fingers happily. Jasper grabbed his hand and pulled it away.

He peeked at Jasper and put his finger in his mouth again. Jasper seized his hand and pulled it away again.

Sandro pursed his lips and was about to burst into tears.

The doctor immediately stuffed a pacifier into Sandro’s mouth, “Don’t cry, Sandro. Your hands are dirty. Suck on the pacifier instead.”

Sandro ceased crying and looked at the doctor, extending his arms to hail a hug.

The female doctor glanced at Jasper.

Jasper nodded his head, remaining indifferent.

The doctor carried Sandro away and he proceeded to eat.

Meanwhile, Stella finished preparing the soup. “Everyone, come over and have dinner.”

She filled a bowl for herself and sat next to Jasper, “Children prefer those who pamper them. If you treat him well, he will naturally approach you. If you are stern towards him or if you don’t follow what he wants, it is needless to say that he will dislike you.”

Jasper made a hand gesture, “What do you think is the right thing to do?”

“Many adults tend to control their children. They will reprimand them, and say things like, ‘I don’t allow you to behave in this manner’ or ‘I don’t allow you to act like this’. They will also comment, ‘you’re not good in this’ or ‘you’re not good in that either’.

However, the child is still young and learning. They do not understand and comprehend circumstances like how we do, or why some things are bad for them.

Even if they pretend to be obedient, they will still think differently inside. Although some parents could communicate effectively, the children may still fail to grasp the full meaning.

During this period, the correct method is to divert the child’s attention. For example, sucking on his thumbs is unhygienic. Therefore, hand him a pacifier. In the end, you get to resolve your concerns and he will still like you,” Stella explained patiently.

Jasper nodded in agreement and gave her a big thumbs up.

He agreed that he was a failure in fostering a child’s development. Just like what had Stella said, all he did was forbid the child from doing anything, restricting his freedom. He was indeed a formidable and strict father. It was no wonder Dante didn’t like him.

If Stella had been by his side, she would have taken good care of the child.

Sandro dozed off as usual after having his meals. Stella was afraid that he might catch a cold, hence she brought Sandro back to the base.

Jasper went for rehabilitation.

After Sandro had fallen asleep, Stella went to the library to read some books and continued learning sign languages.

Time flew. Life was peaceful yet fulfilling.

Jasper’s health recovered gradually. After a month, he could walk without using a wheelchair. He was also able to make simple pronunciations. For someone who had suffered problems in the language center of the brain, it was simply a miracle.

Stella took good care of Sandro and prepared wholesome meals aside from becoming skilled at hand languages.

One morning after breakfast.

Jasper said to Stella, “I want to leave this place.”

Stella paused, “Where to?”

Jasper held her hand and uttered, “Travel.”

“But what if something unexpected happens to your body? It has only been two months since you regained consciousness, and the doctors also think that they should continue to monitor your condition,” Stella was not at ease. She didn’t want to bear any risks.

“Search for him,” Jasper jot down a name on the table – Boris.

Stella considered for a moment and agreed. If she wanted to cure Jasper completely, they had to find Boris first. Otherwise, Jasper’s health would deteriorate anytime.

“Alright, anything you say. We will travel while looking for Boris. Could we take Sandro with us?” Stella was reluctant to leave the child behind.

Jasper agreed.

She called Bellamy and said, “Bellamy, it’s Stella.”

“I know. Your name showed up on the caller ID.”

“Jasper and I wish to leave and try our luck looking for Boris,” Stella responded.
