L got up twice before dinner to pump her b.r.e.a.s.tmilk with the help of a lactation counselor. During that time, London left the room and entered one of the VIP rooms in the hospital wing and rested or worked. L managed to pump a lot of her b.r.e.a.s.tmilk, which was then stored by nurses to be given every two hours to Lily.

London spent his time reading or chatting with his family over the phone while L was pumping in her room. At 7 pm, he then accompanied L to have dinner together in her room, on the beautiful dining table prepared especially for them.

When the appetizer arrived, London was a little surprised because he saw L's big appetite, even though she was no longer pregnant. When London asked if L was really hungry, the girl answered with a glare.

"So what if I eat a lot? Are you worried that I'll get fat?" L grumbled while stabbing the steak on her plate with a fork with all her might, and made London stunned. He winced as if the fork was stabbed at his hand. "B.r.e.a.s.tfeeding makes women lose a lot of energy. If you want your baby to starve, I'll eat a little."

"That's not what I meant," London rolled his eyes. He even forgot that L was very s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e about her weight during pregnancy. Of course, now she is still grumpy because of that issue. In his heart, London actually made a mental note to ask Jan to make sure the house he chose would have a large kitchen and several large refrigerators to store food. Finally, he just nodded, "I like it when you eat a lot. I was just surprised ..."

While saying so, he cut up his own steak and put it all on L's plate.

"What will you eat if you give everything to me?" L asked in surprise but did not protest the gesture. She took a piece of meat and chewed it with a happy face.

"I can eat fruit," London said, peeling an apple on the table.

They then continued to eat dinner calmly. After the hospital staff cleared their dinner, the two then sat down to rest. Lily has been fed with milk mixed with medicine from Lauriel. London was very happy to see that his child was fine.

KNOCK

KNOCK

The door was knocked and Pammy, who looked very worried, entered the room. She was escorted by staff directly from the lobby. Jan had ordered that all staff working in the east wing of the Metropole Hospital maintain the confidentiality of the VVIP patient being treated there. They all must report to him if there were any visitors or suspicious people.

That's why Pammy was escorted to go to L's room so that she wouldn't ask anyone about the hospital. She would be shocked to see that the entire building on the east wing was vacanted only for L.

London didn't want Pammy to tell L everything because, later, L would get mad at him again for lying to her. London actually really wanted to be honest to L. However, he still respected his family, more than his love for L. He could not reveal his family's secrets to strangers. He will wait until his relationship with L got better before he could tell her everything.

Moreover, they have a child together. Even if L did not want to marry him, he would still give the immortality potion to L. So that Lily could stay with her mother for life. They did not have to be separated by old age and death - if L really wanted it.

But he couldn't disclose his identity so casually and give the immortality potion just like that. He really hoped that when he moved with L to a new home, which was close to his family's home, the relationship between them would improve.

"Pammy! You're coming ..." exclaimed L happily while getting up from her reclining position. London hurriedly helped her to set the bed to be in a sitting position.

L looked at him with a grateful smile, then waved to him. "Thank you, now please leave Pammy and me. I have something to discuss with my manager."

London nodded. He greeted Pammy then walked out.

If L needed to talk to Pammy to discuss her plans, London also needed to talk to Jan to discuss what they need to do. In the lounge where his family was waiting, London decided to sit back and read the latest news and occasionally open his work e-mail.

There were so many things he needed to catch up with over the past ten days while he was in Singapore. He also should study all these reports tonight before returning to work tomorrow.

"Did you have dinner?" Jan's voice greeted him from the doorway. London turned and nodded. His face looked happy.

"I had dinner with L," he replied. Indeed, he only ate an apple, but at a time like this, he was also not really hungry. "What did Alex say?"

Jan took a seat next to London and handed his tablet to his boss. "There are two nice houses that are suitable for raising children. But one needs more renovation, while the other one... the owner is currently abroad."

"What about the house whose owner is abroad?" asked London in surprise. He examined the pictures in front of a large house that looked very beautiful, had a large yard and shady trees. The building also looks quite classic. He really liked the house.

"They are in New Zealand. It is still early there, 4 am. I have not been able to contact them," Jan replied.

"Usually, houses for sale are managed by their property agents or lawyers. Why not just contact them?" London asked again.

Jan coughed a little before he answered his boss's question. "Ahem ... because this house is actually not for sale. They are traveling around the world. There are only three staff working there now. I want to call the owner to talk them into selling the house. This cannot be done through an agent."

"Oh ..." London just understood what was happening. He saw the house Jan meant and he liked it. Even though the owner had no intention to sell, if they were offered a lot of money, he was certain that they would change their minds.

"How about the other house? It's okay to do some renovation. It doesn't really matter, as long as the house is good," said London, finally making a decision. According to him, it was too much trouble to have to wait for the owner to wake up in another part of the world just to talk them into selling their house. "The other house is also pretty good. It has a nice garden in front of it, where we could plant flowers. L really likes flowers."

Jan cleared his throat again. "That house isn't actually for sale either. I have to contact the owner first to find out how much they want to move out tomorrow."

London just laughed. He realized that Jan had been with his family for too long, so he knew very well what he had to do. In his family's dictionary, there is nothing they want in this world that they cannot get.

If London Schneider wanted a house in Grunewald, even if there were no houses for sale there, he would make the owner of the house he wanted to sell his house by giving them an offer they could not refuse.

"All right ... then just wait for morning in New Zealand," London finally said. Jan nodded with a smile.
