She gently turned her head, her gaze tenderly falling on the two little lives beside her.

Shen Hanshan followed her gaze and saw two little ones wrapped in soft swaddling clothes. One was as delicate as a porcelain doll, like the most beautiful flower in spring; the other was chubby-faced and had a bit of a boyish air about him.

Their crying has turned into even breathing, and they occasionally twitch their little noses, making them look exceptionally cute.

At this moment, Shen Hanshan's heart was deeply touched.

He had never felt the miracle and greatness of life so deeply, nor had he ever been so clearly aware of his dependence on and love for Zhao Zhi.

He gently kissed Zhao Zhi's forehead and whispered a promise: "I will always be by your side to take care of you and our child."

Seeing this, a hint of relief flashed in Zhang Wan's eyes.

She knew Shen Hanshan's deep affection for Zhao Zhi and believed that he could become a good husband and a good father.

She gently patted Shen Hanshan's shoulder, signaling him to move aside, and then sat down on the edge of the bed to wipe Zhao Zhi's sweat and tidy her disheveled hair.

"Mom, thank you."

Zhao Zhi's eyes reddened. You don't know the debt of gratitude you owe your parents until you become one. Having gone through this brush with death, she finally understood the perils of childbirth and the hardships of raising a child.

At the same time, she also felt a deep respect for her birth mother, whom she had never met.

Zhang Wan smiled slightly, said nothing, and moved her hands even more gently.

Nan Ying, Bao Zhu, and Chao Yan also gathered around one after another. Some brought warm medicine, while others brought soft cushions to place behind Zhao Zhi so that she could take the medicine more easily...

"Let me do it." Shen Hanshan took the medicine from Chaoyan's hand, carefully tasted it on his lips, and then fed it to Zhao Zhi little by little.

When Cui Shenghe came in from outside, he took in this heartwarming scene.

He lifted his foot, preparing to leave, when Zhao Zhi looked up and saw him.

He held up a finger to his lips, indicating that she should take good care of herself and that he would visit her another day.

On the way back to the palace, Cui Jiu asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, do His Highness's two children have the surnames Yun, Zhao, or Chen?"

Cui Shenghe fell silent. The child's surname was truly a headache!
