Zuko hesitated, unsure of what to say. In fact, Lena had returned last night and had been waiting outside the
delivery room. After learning that Lina and the baby were safe, she quietly left.
Lina had just given birth, and her incision had not healed yet. The doctor had advised against emotional fluctuations
at this time to avoid affecting her recovery. As such, Zuko smiled and said, "Don't worry. Lenny's been concerned
about you."
"Really..." Lina sounded a bit disappointed. "She's concerned about me but hasn't replied to any of my messages?"
"Didn't Chris say that the signal is poor in the mountainous area? Even if she replied, you might not receive it."
"Oh," Lina said, lowering her gaze. She was exhausted after giving birth and just wanted to get some rest.
Zuko kissed her forehead and whispered, "Rest well. I'll be here with you and the baby."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLina closed her eyes, feeling at ease.
She did not know how long she had slept, but she suddenly heard a baby's cries. Her eyelids felt heavy, and she did
not want to open them. Despite that, she jolted awake, realizing she was a mother now, and that cry was her
baby's!
She quickly opened her eyes and turned to look at the baby carriage.
"Zuko, is the baby hungry..."
"Yes." A soft and familiar voice suddenly echoed.
Lina thought she had misheard it, but she saw that beautiful and familiar face as she looked up.
She was at a loss for words for a while.
"Sis, the baby is hungry." Lena pushed the baby carriage closer with a smile. "Aren't you going to feed her?"
"Lenny..."
"Lina, the baby's crying!"
Lina's heart clenched, and tears welled up in her eyes. She hastily wiped them away.
At the same time, a nurse entered the room with a bottle of prepared formula and carefully fed it to the baby.
Lena sat by Lina's bed, gently wiping away her tears.
"They say you shouldn't cry during this time. It's not good for recovery."
"I..." Lina giggled.
"Look at you crying and laughing like a child." Lena chuckled, looking at her. "What's this? Are you getting a
pregnant brain? You've turned silly after having a baby?"
Lina raised her hand to playfully hit her. "You meanie!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLena hugged her gently and looked at the baby the nurse was holding.
The little one had finished drinking and was now contentedly closing her eyes, her small mouth making sucking
motions. It seemed like she was having a sweet dream.
Lena's smile was sincere. "She's so adorable! Does she have a name yet?"
"Not yet."
"Something Thompson..." Lena giggled suddenly. "No, no, she's a Hamerton! Hamerton's a good last name!"
Lina looked at her, feeling like everything was surreal. Lena had departed just a few months ago, yet the absence of
any communication during this time felt incredibly long.
"Lina, why didn't you feed her just now?" Lena asked.
"Mrs. Hamerton had a C-section," the nurse replied with a smile. "Mothers who have had a C-section usually don't
produce milk as quickly. So, the baby will have to drink formula for the first few days."
"C-section?" Lena widened her eyes. Did that mean they cut through several layers of the abdomen? It must have
been so painful...
