When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him Novel

Chapter 779 Lazing In Bed

When Elena entered, she had her secretary set down the gifts before she went off to find Elliot.

Elliot was still freshening up at the moment.

When Elena arrived in the kitchen, she saw Jessica indulging in a meal.

Upon seeing her, Jessica couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

“Aunt Elena, why are you here?” Jessica immediately put down what she was holding.

When Elena saw Jessica’s demeanor, a hint of disdain flashed in Elena’s eyes. “This is my son’s home. Am I not allowed to come? What’s going on? Have you been snacking in the kitchen?”

In Elena’s view, such behavior was utterly lacking in class.

Jessica knew that too, so she said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Aunt Elena. I waited for you all day yesterday without eating anything. I was just too hungry this morning.”

“Be more careful in the future. Elena wanted to ask Jessica about how she was doing at the Quill family, but Elliot’s voice sounded. “Grandma.”

A smile instantly appeared on Elena’s face. She turned around and crouched down. “Oh, Sweetie. Let me hug you!”

Watching how fond Elena was of Elliot, Jessica realized that he hadn’t lied yesterday.

Fortunately, she hadn’t offended Elliot yet.

“Eli, you’re awake. Breakfast will be ready soon,” said Jessica, stepping forward.

Then, she looked up toward the second floor “Isn’t Cecilia up yet? It’s almost half past eight.”

She had initially thought that Elena would, as before, join her in criticizing Cecilia’s faults. However, to her surprise, Elena said, “She’s pregnant, so she needs to get more sleep.”

After apart, Jessica was taken aback by how Elena had changed. Unexpectedly, she was now standing up for Cecilia.

However, Jessica said, “But from what I’ve learned about prenatal care during my studies abroad, it’s enough for a pregnant woman to get eight hours of sleep a day. Sleeping too much could be detrimental to the baby’s brain development.”

Upon hearing this, Elena couldn’t help but regard her with increased admiration.

“Really?”

Indeed. Be it in terms of medicine or technology, other countries are far ahead of us. We need to learn more from them.” In reality, Jessica had only studied nursing for a month.

really

During that month, she had been learning from the locals in Clusia. As for her claim that sleeping too long could harm the brain development of the fetus, it was all nonsense she spouted off the top of her head.

Elliot found Jessica’s claims strange.

It’s a pity that Jonathan isn’t here now. Otherwise, he would have been able to pinpoint what’s odd.

Elena had always assumed that Jessica had just returned from studying abroad. Since she didn’t have any medical knowledge, it was only natural for her to trust Jessica.

“How long has Cecilia been asleep now?”

Jessica immediately replied. “I returned to my room at nine o’clock last night, and I reckon I was asleep by ten. It must have been over ten hours by now.”

In reality, it was best to wake up naturally if the person was not lazing around.

Waking up naturally referred to the first moment one woke up.

Moreover, as everyone had a unique disposition, it was not appropriate to generalize.

Some people felt completely refreshed after just six hours of sleep a day, while others still felt worn out even after sleeping for ten hours a day.

The doctor advised Cecilia to sleep before ten every night. In winter, she could afford to rise a bit later at nine. In summer, she should wake up at eight.

Of course, the specifics would depend on the particular situation.

Yesterday, Cecilia was having some trouble sleeping. By the time she fell asleep, it was already past eleven.

However, Elena and the others were unaware.

“Then you should quickly wake her up.”

“Okay.”

Upon receiving Elena’s directive, Jessica promptly went upstairs to call for Cecilia.

At this moment, Cecilia had also just awoken not long ago and was freshening up in his room.

Jessica barged in, only to find her already up. A hint of disappointment crossed her face, but she quickly covered it up with a loud exclamation, “Cecilia, you’re only just getting up now?”
