Congratulations, it's a beautiful girl! You're parents now!" The doctor held the baby for the couple to see.

When she saw the child's ruddy and wrinkled face, Jovannie felt that her daughter was adorable.

This was her baby...

Jovannie couldn't help but burst into tears.

Without sparing another glance at the child, Luke asked the doctor, "Is my wife okay?"

"She's fine. She just needs some rest."

With that, Luke finally released the fist that he clenched so tight until his palm became sweaty.

The sweat trickled down from his finger and dripped onto the ground.

Luke looked at Jovannie and stroked her head with trembling hands. "You've done a great job, Jovannie."

Jovannie shook her head. "I did nothing much..."

As soon as she saw the baby, she felt that she was full of strength.

She realized that Luke hadn't seen their daughter and quickly reminded him, "Honey, take a look at her. She's so chubby."

Only then did Luke turn to look at the baby with eyes full of tenderness.

This plump creature... was his daughter?

In the past, Luke had carried Gia when she was still an infant.

He remembered that he was so excited as if his heart was about to burst.

When he held the baby in his arms right now, Luke felt that the same excitement and cautiousness back then.

At this time, the whole Miller family had arrived.

In fact, they had been waiting outside the ward.

Hania crossed her fingers and sincerely prayed that the labor would proceed smoothly.

When someone came out of the room with the baby, the Miller family stepped up to take a look.

The moment she saw the child, Hania burst into tears.

David also looked at the baby tenderly.

Although Zac and Gia didn't dare to touch the child, their faces were full of joy.

All of a sudden, Zac stated, "Hey Gia, I used to carry you when you're still a baby too. You were so adorable back then."

In an instant, Gia's face turned red. "Stop it, Zac!"

As Valeria stared at the baby, he could feel his heart beat violently.

From then on, the Miller Family had a new treasure to love and spoil.

Jovannie only rested for two days before starting to walk around. However, Luke strongly forbade to get out of bed.

He insisted that she rested in bed as if she had suffered from a serious injury.

Currently, Jovannie's joyful time was watching her baby.

Most of the time, the baby slept soundly in the cradle unless she was hungry or had to change her diapers.

The more Jovannie looked at her daughter, the lovelier she felt.

She sincerely believed that her baby was becoming cuter each day.

She could even spend the whole day staring at the baby.

Still, this was her first time being a parent with Luke, so both of them had their surprised and flustered moments.

For example, the first time the baby cried, the first time she smiled, the first time she pouted, and the first time she sucked on her fingers...

Luke and Jovannie could experience the joy and cautiousness of a parent at their daughter's reactions.

"Honey, have you thought about our daughter's name?" Jovannie asked.

"Well..."

In fact, they had already thought about the baby's names a long ago. But as soon as the baby was born, Luke decided to withdraw the previous names as he believed that they weren't worthy of their precious daughter.

At Luke's response, Jovannie could only say helplessly, "Just think about it carefully."

That night, Luke got up excitedly from the bed and walked over to the cradle. Looking at the sleeping baby, he whispered, "Lovette."

You were our beloved child!

And our precious treasure in the world!

The next day, when Jovannie learned of their daughter's name, she nodded in agreement. It was such a nice name!

In the past, her shy self would definitely think that the name "Lovette" was too straightforward. But now, she felt that the baby was the loveliest gift.

"Lovette" was truly a nice and straightforward name!

Obviously, the child's nickname would be "Love".

Since the birth of their daughter, Jovannie finally understood the definition of a helicopter parent.

Luke was constantly worrying about Lovette. He was either afraid that she would catch a cold, wouldn't get used to the humidity, couldn't fall asleep, or whether she liked the new chime...

Every night, he had to wake up more than then times to check on Lovette before sleeping in peace.

If Lovette cried in the middle of the night, he would carry her to the next room so that Jovannie wouldn't be disturbed.

Moreover, he would search for pictures of beautiful and comfortable children's clothes during his free time before ordering someone to make them. Other times, he would design the toys and clothes himself.

But Luke wasn't the only one who doted on Lovette. The child's uncles and aunt would send various gifts for her daily.

Jovannie secretly calculated the prices of the gifts and discovered that they worthed more than ten thousand.

Lovette had become a rich lady before turning a month old.

If all of the gifts were converted into money, Lovette could practically swim in it.

When Lovette reached a year old, the whole Miller family gathered to celebrate her birthday.

When the baby was asked to pick an item from the things laid out in front of her, she grabbed Valeria's hand instead.

Valeria, who had always been expressionless, was obviously flustered as he had never held a child before.

Gia teased, "My, it seems like Lovette is fond of her uncle instead of her aunt! You're such a heart stealer, Valeria."

Valeria turned to Luke for help, but the latter didn't move at all.

On the other hand, Lovette giggled and smeared his face with drool.

Without a choice, Valeria could only hold her carefully while thinking that he mustn't drop her.

When Lovette squirmed in his arms, he was horrified and feared that the baby would fall.

"Is Lovette not uncomfortable?"

Luke replied, "No. Rather, she feels comfortable in your arms. She's just being affectionate."

The baby was being affectionate to him?

As he stared at Lovette's round eyes, Valeria felt astounding.

So, this was how a baby felt like...

When she saw Valeria's clumsy and careful expression, Hania felt her heart ache and tried to force back her tears.

In fact, she knew that Valeria wasn't lonely since he had been living contentedly with the rules in his world. He wouldn't reject the reality but learned to adapt.

He was restrained, keen, and stubborn. Since he didn't feel much towards the outside world, he was hardly emotional.

Now that Valeria had grown up healthily, Hania knew that she should let go of certain things. However, both she and David also knew that they had owed Luke and Valeria a lot.

When they met Valeria, they had missed a large part of his childhood. At that time, he had already closed the door to reality. Still, he was willing to leave a gap for his family.

Hania couldn't help but wonder-if she had known about Valeria's existence a tad earlier, would he be happier instead of cutting himself from reality.

Sensing Hania's emotions, David grabbed her hand and looked at her with comforting eyes.

Since then, Valeria, who had never visited others on his own accord, amended his rule of staring at the orchids in the morning to visiting his lovely niece.

Although Lovette was still young, she was clingy towards Valeria and often dragged her uncle to play with her. Both of them had fun for several hours.

Perhaps, it was from that moment that Valeria's perceptions towards reality had become stronger.

Rather than saying that he was teaching Lovette, it was better to state that they were guiding each other. Lovette was currently at the age where she learned to express herself.

Under the baby's influence, Valeria also learned to accept reality.

Naturally, the Milleres witnessed Valeria's changes.

Both Hania and Gia were very happy.

Gia even exclaimed that Lovette must be an angel sent by the Gods to protect Valeria.

Luke and Jovannie were also pleased with this.

At first, Jovannie didn't know about Valeria's past. After Luke told her about it, she felt distressed for Valeria.

Nothing could heal the trauma in Valeria's past. However, Valeria didn't regard it as trauma at all.

If such a thing happened to Lovette, Jovannie believed that she would be distraught.

Just when everyone was happy for Valeria's new change, he suddenly brought back a girl one day.

He even said that he would raise her.
