Words weren’t needed to express their feelings for each other when they stared into each other’s eyes. When Jude saw her now relatively flat belly, she suddenly felt that it was rather miraculous that the baby got out of her just like that.
Later on, the baby was brought back to them after a quick wash. “The results the checkups yielded indicate that the baby is fine, and he is now fully vaccinated.”
The baby was left in Jude’s care. With the help of the assistant, she began breastfeeding the baby. The sight triggered feelings of discomfort within Charles. She’s a woman, yet people would just tear her clothes away so that she had to feed the baby.
After a while, the baby fell asleep. Jude frowned when she observed the baby. “Darling, I think he’s ugly. No, he’s horrendous. He’s full of wrinkles, just like an old man.”
Charles didn’t have high expectations for his son’s appearance. All he wished for was that he could grow up safely and healthily, as well as care for his mother. Meanwhile, the delivery assistant tried to change Jude’s opinion of the baby’s appearance. “All babies are like this when they are born. They’ll look prettier after they grow up. With good-looking parents like you, he’ll definitely grow up to be a handsome boy.”
A smile bloomed on her face as she studied the baby’s pinkish face. Even though she claimed to care a lot about looks and would never be able to accept the fact that her baby was born ugly, she took a liking to her son’s ugly-but-cute face nonetheless. “His hands, face, nose, and mouth are all so tiny. Darling, why don’t you hold him?”
“Let him sleep.”
“I guess you’re right. He’s sleeping soundly.”
At that moment, Charles’ phone rang with a call from Pierre. “Has your wife given birth to the baby? Selena has been pacing around in her room since last night!”
“The baby is born.”
Jude turned to look at Charles. “Is it Selena?”
“It’s born? Is it a boy or a girl?” Pierre was taken aback by the news.
“A son.”
