Daphne smiled and leaned closer to get a better look at the picture. "It's very pretty, Ella," she said, nodding. She laughed when the young girl said she should get to choose her new siblings gender, but didn't tell her that she couldn't. Better to keep her happy right now, with everything that was going on.
"I think that's a very good idea. I'm sure Mummy will be incredibly happy when she wakes up," Daphne said, nodding again. What a terrible way for Millicent to spend her birthday, not that she would even know. She hoped that this Justin would spoil her later to make up for it, if he even had the means to. She would have to remember to send along a gift as well, once she was better. Daphne refused to even think about 'ifs.' If she could get better, so could her friends.
