"My wife, my wife, wake up, I'm back."
Han Qingyuan saw that Li Xiaotao was moving and called out softly.
Li Xiaotao slowly opened her eyes, following the sound.
Above the head was an enlarged human face with bloodshot eyes, dark circles under the eyes, and messy stubble on the chin, looking tired and haggard.
"Husband, what happened to you?"
Li Xiaotao didn't react for a moment and tried to sit up and reach out to touch his face.
As soon as I exerted force, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.
"Wife, don't move, you still have wounds on your stomach."
Han Qingyuan saw her actions and quickly stopped her.
Li Xiaotao finally realized, "My stomach? My baby, where's my baby?"
She cried out in surprise, grabbed Han Qingyuan's hands with both of them, and looked at him anxiously, no longer caring about her stomach pain.
Han Qingyuan was afraid she would aggravate her wound, so he held her down.
"The child is fine, my wife, don't worry. He's in the side room now. I'll have someone bring him over for you to see."
Hearing that the child was alright, Li Xiaotao finally relaxed and stopped struggling to get up.
But I couldn't help but keep looking towards the door.
Seeing that Li Xiaotao seemed to be in good spirits, Han Qingyuan was finally relieved. Knowing that she was eager to see the child, he didn't linger and went straight to the door, instructing the maid guarding outside through the wooden door.
"Go and bring the young master over, be careful."
"yes."
The bed was in the innermost room. To prevent the mother from being exposed to drafts, the curtain in the middle of the inner room was drawn, and even a tall screen was placed at the entrance to the outer room.
The doors and windows in the room were all closed, and it was obviously hot and humid, but Li Xiaotao's body couldn't withstand even a slight breeze.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door.
Li Xiaotao's eyes lit up as she looked at Han Qingyuan expectantly.
Han Qingyuan went out to open the door and saw Lin Zao holding the child, with Hua Nanxing standing beside her.
"Sister-in-law, Dr. Hua, you've arrived! Please come in."
After entering, the door was quietly closed by the maid outside.
Lin Zao: "Your older brother had to leave first because of something. Miss Hua came over early this morning to wait for you. Is Xiao Tao awake yet?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm awake now. Thank you for coming to see me."
Li Xiaotao has now remembered what happened yesterday. If Lin Zao hadn't come yesterday, she wouldn't have had anyone to rely on, and she wouldn't have been able to hold on until the end.
Lin Zao carried the child lightly to the bedside and carefully placed the child next to Li Xiaotao's pillow.
“I’m your sister-in-law, we’re all family, no need for thanks. The child is already asleep, so well-behaved, look how adorable he is.”
Li Xiaotao quickly turned her gaze to the baby, whose face was still red and wrinkled from birth.
You can see traces of Li Xiaotao in her eyebrows and eyes, but her nose and mouth look more like Han Qingyuan.
Li Xiaotao seemed unable to get enough of looking at him, her eyes filled with affection and a satisfied smile on her lips.
Lin Zao smiled knowingly when she saw her like this.
She turned to look at Hua Nanxing and said, "I'll have to trouble Miss Hua to help diagnose my sister-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Han Qingyuan, who was standing next to him, turned his gaze from the mother and son to Hua Nanxing.
Hua Nanxing nodded, "Madam General, you're too kind. It's all I should do."
Lin Zao gestured for Han Qingyuan to pick up the child so that Hua Nanxing could take his pulse.
Since his child was born, he, as a father, has not even had a proper look at his child, let alone held him.
