Zhu Huicang sat beside his wife, holding her hand tightly. He didnât have time to look at the baby, his gaze on his wife full of worry.
The others could sense the new fatherâs nervousness. Imagine that robot being so cold, keeping everything from the kidâs dad throughout the process.
Walking over, Ren Chongda first approached Cao Yong standing at the foot of the bed, wanting to ask about the patientâs condition.
Cao Yong suddenly turned his head, looking ahead.
What happened? Ren Chongda wondered.
A slender figure slipped in through the door like an eel, hardly making a sound, quickly caught by someoneâs gaze.
Xie Wanying was startled and looked up to see it was Senior Caoâs gaze catching her: Why was she caught by Senior Cao the moment she came in?
Thump thump, her heart skipped two beats.
After a while, she saw Senior Cao reach out his hand to stop her counselor from speaking to her. Xie Wanying blinked, lowered her face slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed that Senior Cao had to help speak for her.
"You, youâ" Ren Chongda noticed she sneaked in, but when he tried to speak, he was blocked by Cao Yong. Helplessly, he crossed his arms and stepped aside.
Gao Zhaocheng watched this scene, covering his mouth to laugh secretly, thinking how others said Cao Yong had changed since falling into the pit of love.
No one had seen Cao Yong so protective over someone before.
Not speaking, avoiding provoking the counselor to anger, Xie Wanying quietly approached the bedside to look at senior fellow student Li, unable to resist asking Senior Cao: "Senior, how is senior fellow student Li?"
"Didnât I tell you before?" Cao Yong gently told her.
Yes, the senior had said he would handle the mother and she would handle the child. Senior Cao was as good as his word. Xie Wanying quietly reported to the senior: "The child is getting cephalosporin, for now, the temperature is normal."
This little junior could only think about academics.
The others looked at her one-track mind, then at Cao Yongâs expression, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Cao Yong didnât seem to mind, his dark, bright eyes fell on her vibrant, spring-like face, seemingly feeling the joyful, flying mood of saving someone, just as he did.
Zhu Huicang heard them talking, turned his head.
Seeing this, Ren Chongda reassured him, "Weâve checked on the child. Nie Jiamin will return to the hospital, everything is alright."
The child and wife went through suffering together, Zhu Huicang knew, so he requested the others, "Donât tell Xiaobing what happened to the child. Sheâll blame herself for life."
Some mothers feel guilty lifelong for not being able to have a perfect pregnancy.
Li Xiaobing truly, truly loves this child.
"What name are you giving the child?" Gao Zhaocheng asked the babyâs father.
This was something he and his wife had discussed early on. Zhu Huicang said, "Winter Bright. Winter as in the season, Bright as in light. Whether itâs a boy or girl, because we knew the child would be born in winter, we hoped the child would be a ray of light in winter."
"The name is quite artistic, not bad." Ren Chongda praised after hearing this.
"My wife got the inspiration from reading books at Cao Yongâs place," Zhu Huicang explained the origin of their childâs name.
Hearing this, Cao Yong suddenly felt alarm bells ringing in his head, quickly saying, "No need to thank me, it really has nothing to do with me."
"Donât say that." Zhu Huicang turned to him gratefully, "Xiaobing and I agreed long ago, we must repay you well. Itâs all thanks to you that the child is okay."
