58 Chapter 58: The Baby

@@

The day for Anne to be discharged finally arrived.

She had been able to regain some amount of her strength back. But she still needed to get more rest and sleep. With the baby in Antonio's hands, they walked down the staircase into the parking lot. There, Sedem was waiting for them with Antonio's car.

Antonio usually liked to drive himself, but this time around, he allowed Sedem to take the driver's seat.

Carefully, he guided Anne into the back seat, then used the other door and joined her. Having finally settled in, Sedem started the car and they drove off. Immediately, the baby started to cry. Anne was also too weak and exhausted to try comforting the baby. The baby wailed and wailed and wouldn't stop. Antonio did all he could but the baby just wouldn't stop crying. Having exhausted all his options, Sedem in the driver's seat said "Give the baby to me Antonio, he probably doesn't like you."

"Nonsense!" Antonio retorted, "How can my own son not like me? If you think you are so good with babies, there you go, give it a try."

As soon as Sedem took the baby into his arms, he stopped crying. Everyone was astonished.

"You see, I told you so! Sedem couldn't help laughing at Antonio.

"Well, this is just a coincidence," Antonio said. "It's because the baby was already very exhausted from crying when I handed him over to you. That's how come he's finally quiet now."

"Here, hand him over to me."

Immediately the baby was handed back to Antonio, he started crying again. Out of frustration, Antonio gave the baby back to Sedem. The baby probably didn't like him after all. The rest of the drive back home was uneventful.@@
