After all, for this kind of thing, there was no way to empathize if it wasn’t happening to one of them.
In the delivery room, Sophia kept looking at the baby, who fell asleep after a while with a pouting look.
The attending doctor and midwife left, saying that Sophia should stay for further observation for half an hour
before leaving the delivery room. John was still sitting next to Sophia’s bed. “How are you feeling now? Do you feel
uncomfortable anywhere?”
Sophia shook her head. “No. Move aside please, I want to see my son.”
Immediately, John’s face fell. “You no longer need your husband when you have your son.”
Sophia went along with his words and retorted, “Why do I need you when I already have my son?”
John grinned but didn’t answer, whereupon he shifted his position and turned to look at the baby on the bed. The
baby slept soundly. His face was a little wrinkled, and they couldn’t tell who he looked like more with his current
facial features.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at her newborn son, Sophia had a gentle-looking expression on her face. “So, it turns out to be a boy. I
thought it would be a girl.”
John was pleased. It was not that he preferred boys to girls, but perhaps he would have more shared interests with
a boy.
Sophia paused, then said, “I must bear a daughter next.”
Next? John was taken aback. “Did you forget the pain?”
She had been desperately sobbing in pain for hours, and yet she was thinking about a second child before she even
got off the bed.
After half an hour’s observation, the midwife came and said that Sophia could go back to the ward. Sophia was
energetic. Sitting up, she put on her pants and got out of bed.
The midwife was startled
“What are you doing?” Sophia looked at her in a matter-of-fact way. “I’m going back to the ward.” A nurse came
into the delivery room. After hearing Sophia’s words, she pushed the bed in and immediately said, “Is it your first
time giving birth, girl? How is it possible for you to get out of bed right after giving birth? Come, lie down here. We’ll
push you back to the ward.” Sophia replied, “Oh, but I feel fine, so I can walk back by myself.” The midwife smiled.
“You shouldn’t get out of bed and walk around even if you feel fine. You have to lie down and try not to get out of
bed for at least two days.” Sophia moved from her bed to the mobile hospital bed and was pushed out of the
delivery room by the nurse. She didn’t forget what she needed to do. Turning to face John, who was still standing in
the delivery room, she shouted, “Don’t forget the baby! Bring the baby out.” John looked a little exasperated. “Don’t
worry, I still know what to do.” The midwife helped to wrap up the baby in blankets and handed him to John. John
walked out of the delivery room next to Sophia’s bed with the baby in his arms. As soon as they came out, the
Constance family members crowded around. Although Old Mrs. Constance was usually cool and collected, tears
were streaming down her face at this very moment. She came over and touched Sophia’s face. “Thank you for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyour hard work.” Sophia smiled at her. “Don’t mention it. I actually don’t think delivering a baby is that tiring.”
Matilda grinned next to her.
“How can you say such shameless words without even blushing? Who was the one lying on the bed crying just now
and saying that she would never have a second child again?” With that said, John spoke next to her. “She told me
just now that she is going to have a daughter next.” When Matilda heard it, she immediately said, “Look, didn’t I tell
you that she’ll forget the pain after giving birth?” Old Mrs. Constance used her sleeves to help Sophia wipe the
sweat from her forehead before she went over to see the baby in John’s arms. The baby slept soundly with a
puckered mouth. Old Mrs. Constance’s heart softened instantly. “The baby is so perfect. He looks wonderfully
tender.” Indeed, there was nothing else to praise about him now other than his tender skin. Lola, too, went over to
talk to Sophia first. She asked the latter if there was any discomfort. Sophia grinned before saying, “I’m telling you
for real. It’s really a huge suffering to have a baby.” Logan hurriedly went over and covered Lola’s ears. “Let’s not
listen to her. We won’t listen to anything. Don’t be nervous, okay? It’ll hurt even more when you are nervous.” Lying
on the bed, Sophia laughed. “John, tell Logan how nervous you were. I don’t believe he won’t be nervous when the
time comes.”
