Xie Zhiyan's tone was gentler than ever before, as if he was afraid that if he raised his voice even slightly, he would offend Shu Ying and make her uncomfortable.
The three little ones finally managed to squeeze to the front, blinked their dark eyes at Shu Ying, and gently touched the top of Shu Ying's head with their little hands, just as Shu Ying had done when comforting them.
"Mom, don't be afraid, it's all in the past now."
"Yes, Auntie, don't be afraid, we're all here with you. Mom said you need to be happy after you give birth to your baby. We've already brought joke books and picture books. If you get bored, we'll tell you jokes!"
Just as Shu Ying was comforting the child, she turned around without noticing that Xie Zhiyan was already in tears.
Across from them, the two mothers, including Xie Mingzhu, also had red eyes, sighing as tears welled up in their eyes.
In an instant, everyone's attention fell on Shu Ying.
Two doctors holding three children: ? ? ?
They turned their heads and looked at the large group of people who were all gathered around the mother in labor, with no one noticing the newborn. They exchanged surprised glances.
"Does none of you really care about the child?"
The doctor asked a question timidly, but it seemed that no one heard him at all.
Is this reasonable?
Having delivered so many babies and seen so many families, they've observed that in most cases, the bride's parents prioritize the new mother, while the groom's family excitedly goes to see the baby first.
Some heartless families don't even care whether the new mother is okay or not. They just hug and kiss the baby, leaving the new mother to the side.
It's as if mothers are merely tools for bearing children, to be discarded after use, with only the newborn caring.
Such incidents are all too common, and they are truly disheartening.
The doctors were angry but helpless; they had almost all gotten used to this social reality.
Suddenly encountering a family that seemed completely indifferent to the child and only concerned about the new mother left me somewhat bewildered.
Do families like this really exist?
Just when the doctor was at a loss, it was the mother herself who thought of the baby first.
"Mom and Dad, Sister, Zhiyan, haven't you seen the child yet?"
"The doctor told me it was two women and one man..."
Only then did everyone realize what had happened. They started circling around looking for the doctor and the child, only to find that the doctor had been standing right behind them all along.
Yang Wan smiled a little shyly at the doctor and was the first to go see the child.
The three newborn babies, all pink, looked delicate and fragile in their pre-prepared blankets.
As Yang Wan approached them, she unconsciously softened her breathing and carefully lifted the blankets covering their small faces.
The two little girls seemed not to have adapted to the world outside their mother's womb, but they didn't cry or fuss. They obediently huddled in the blankets, their little mouths moving slightly instinctively, their eyes tightly closed, and their breathing light and even.
One was sleeping soundly, while the other had one little hand sticking out, reaching out and grabbing at the air.
That little hand was so tiny that its movements seemed to be slowed down several times over, making it both slow and adorable.
Yang Wan's eyes and brows softened.
"This child looks so well-behaved. His eyebrows and eyes vaguely resemble Yingying's, but his nose and mouth are hard to tell. He seems to look a bit like Zhiyan."
Shu Wenyuan and Xie Wenyuan were overjoyed and quickly came over to see.
Before the child was even born, they had already discussed and guessed the child's gender countless times.
The ideal situation is two girls and one boy.
I never imagined that my dream would actually come true, and that I would have two such adorable little girls.
Shu Wenyuan and Xie Wenyuan were beaming with joy, constantly exclaiming in amazement—
"Oh, this is wonderful."
"Our house will be much more lively again."
"Yes, these two little girls are so cute. I wonder what kind of personalities they'll have when they grow up."
"But whatever personality they have, kids should have their own temperament. As long as they have the right values and good character, it doesn't matter whether they're outgoing or introverted!"
"My in-laws are right."
Huang Meiling nodded in agreement.
The only boy among the triplets was very perceptive. Huang Meiling had just gotten close and lifted a corner of the blanket a little to see the child's face when, before she could see him clearly, the child burst into tears.
The cry drew the attention of the elders who had gone to see the little girl.
Huang Meiling was at a loss for words to comment.
"This child... cries so loudly."
It's no exaggeration to say that this child's voice is incredibly powerful; the sound of his crying echoes throughout the entire floor as soon as he opens his mouth, and he cries with great force.
After enjoying their granddaughter, Shu Wenyuan, Xie Wenyuan, and Yang Wan came to see their grandson.
After hearing Huang Meiling's evaluation, Shu Wenyuan and Xie Wenyuan burst into laughter in unison.
"His voice is booming and penetrating, and he has a lot of internal strength. Not bad! It's obvious that he will be just like Zhiyan in the future, a child full of energy, able to command a large following, and capable of doing great things."
Yang Wan smiled and sighed.
"If that's really the case, we don't expect this child to be as outstanding as Zhiyan in the future. We just hope that he can have a heart to serve the country and do what he can."
"yes."
Shu Wenyuan, Xie Wenyuan, and Huang Meiling nodded in agreement with a sigh.
Which of these women isn't fulfilling their patriotic aspirations in different ways within their own capabilities?
The doctors and nurses wheeled Shuying into the ward, and the two doctors immediately took the child to clean and examine her.
The elders had all looked around at the child, and only when they came to their senses did they realize that Xie Zhiyan hadn't come over to check on him at all.
Yang Wan looked at Xie Zhiyan, who had been sitting by the hospital bed without moving an inch, with amusement.
“Zhiyan, you are the child’s father. You didn’t watch the child just now. Why don’t you go and check on the child first? We’ll stay here and watch over Yingying.”
Xie Zhiyan shook his head without hesitation, his gaze never leaving Shu Ying.
"No, I want to stay with Yingying."
Because of him, Shu Ying suffered this ordeal.
This whole thing was caused by his negligence, and now he can't afford to be negligent anymore.
The anxiety he felt while waiting outside the delivery room hadn't subsided yet, and he couldn't even imagine how devastated he would be if something happened to Shu Ying.
Even if nothing serious happens, what if Shuying suddenly feels pain or discomfort somewhere, or her wound becomes infected and uncomfortable?
As long as he stays by her side, he can detect anything that happens to Shuying in time and will no longer cause her pain.
Xie Zhiyan held Shu Ying's hand firmly, without even turning his head, focusing all his attention on Shu Ying, while using his other hand to gently wipe Shu Ying's face with a towel he had just wrung out.
Yang Wan, Shu Wenyuan, Xie Wenyuan, and Huang Meiling all came to persuade him, but Xie Zhiyan seemed not to listen at all, holding Chao Shuying's hand tightly the whole time and refusing to let go for a moment.
