Actually, everyone had long known that the baby was a girl.
However, hearing the doctor announcing it personally, they still couldn't confine the joy deep down.
Especially for Master Collins, he had spent most of his life alone. His heart was filled with great joy now that he had a great-granddaughter.
Therefore, when he heard the doctor's good news, Master Collins clapped a few times.
"Great!"
Abigail, who was beside Master Collins, gave her father a glare when she saw him acting in such a manner. She whispered, "Are you insane?"
Master Collins was once again scolded for no reason, and he rubbed his nose and thought if he did anything wrong again. He was only happy because Minerva gave birth. Couldn't he praise her for a bit? Abigail sure was strict!
But at that moment, his joy was greater than anything else. Master Collins quickly forgot about Abigail rebuking him.
The baby's cry came from the labor room; it was
loud and clear.
Abigail pursed her lips, "Looks like this little girl gave Minerva quite a hard time."
Hearing this, the doctor chuckled and went along with her, "She sure did. The child has big eyes, and she looks very energetic and healthy. You all can rest assured."
In the labor room, a child was born, but Minerva was near to collapse, and she had no strength at all to even open her eyes as she laid there.
She thought of something, and a helpless smile appeared between her pale lips.
When the baby was just born, she was too tired to even speak. The doctor held the baby to her front for her to carry. Unfortunately, she had no strength at all; she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes.
So the doctor brought the baby to Maddox. Who would've thought that Maddox twitched his nose and said softly, "I want to have a look at my wife first."
The doctor was totally speechless.
What was with that man? The baby was his daughter, after all. Why did he show such an obvious dislike for her? However, Maddox didn't care what others thought. He held Minerva's hand tightly, bent down, and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead gently. Then he lowered his head and kissed her forehead tenderly.
"Thank you, Honey."
While Minerva was feeling tired, she felt a touch of warmth on her forehead. Then, Maddox's gentle voice drifted into her ears.
Although she was tired, at that moment, she felt that everything was worth it.
Thinking back to what had just happened, Minerva couldn't help smiling deep down.
Even though she knew that the baby was Maddox's and her child, the fact that Maddox placed her first pleased her.
As for Maddox, he only went to hold his daughter after he had comforted his wife.
What regrets could Minerva have when she already had a husband like that? She felt as if all the bitterness she had suffered in the past had finally come to an end.
Soon, Minerva was transferred from the labor room to a normal ward. After the doctor handled everything for the baby, he handed her over to Minerva as she laid beside her.
The baby was there, tiny and fair, lying obediently, with both pinkish hands in fists, and she was sleeping with her eyes shut.
A group of people gathered around the hospital bed, all staring at the baby.
