When Wendy had been anesthetized, she felt that her belly became numb, and her eyes grew heavy. The only thing that made her feel secure was Charlie's warm palm.
She opened her mouth but found it hard to say anything now. "Honey, I'm a little sleepy. I want to sleep..."
Her voice trailed away to nothing. In the end, she quietly closed her eyes.
"Wendy!" Charlie's voice was jumpy.
The director who heard him turned to look at him and said with a smile, "Mr. Hogg, don't be too nervous. She is just a little sensitive to anesthetics and has fallen asleep!"
Hearing that, Charlie let out a sigh of relief.
Four years ago, Charlie did not know that she was pregnant when she left Ice city. Thus, he certainly had no idea how difficult it was for her to carry a baby and give birth alone. It was the first time he experienced such a thing with her, and it was hard for him to calm down.
When he heard the sound of the scalpel cutting open her skin and flesh, Charlie's hands trembled.
Finally, he heard the loud cry of the baby...
Gilbert, who was waiting outside in the corridor with others, could not sit still any longer. He had been in pain and dismay for four months, during which time he believed his son was dead. But now, when it was in the middle of the night, he was shining with happiness as if he had taken some magic panaceas.
He paced back and forth and would stop to look at the operating room from time to time. He looked so anxious as if he would rush into the operating room the next second.
Kim, who had been waiting calmly, also became anxious when seeing Gilbert, who had been restless the whole time.
When the door of the operating room opened, and the director came out, all the elders outside surrounded him immediately.
Having long been accustomed to this situation, the director smiled and told them the happy news, "Congratulations, both mother and her daughter are well!"
"Wonderful!" Gilbert clapped his hands heavily and turned around to share the happiness with Kim.
"I finally have a grandniece to play with this time!" Donna blurted out happily. She glanced at Kim and suddenly realized that it was a little childish and inappropriate for her to say like that, so she quickly changed the topic-she leaned over to pinch Larry's face. "Larry, you're going to be an elder brother!"
Larry, who was still a little child, was going to be an elder brother!
Larry scratched his head, pursed his lips, and smiled shyly.
Later, Wendy, who was still in a coma after finishing the stitch- up surgery, was also pushed out. Charlie followed her closely while firmly holding her hand. Behind her was a young nurse, holding their newborn little daughter in her hand.
Gilbert was the first to rush forward and hold his soft little granddaughter in his arms, his eyebrows moving up and down in excitement.
He did not want Kim, the baby's grandfather, to get her, even out of politeness. Donna, who was right next to him, tried a few times to take the baby in her arms, but Gilbert refused. He held the baby in his arms as if she were his precious treasure and refused to give it to anyone.
The elders were bustling with excitement while Charlie grabbed the nurse beside him and asked anxiously. "The child was born, but why hasn't my wife woken up yet?"
The nurse smiled and explained to him, "Mr. Hogg, don't worry. Mrs. Huo just hasn't recovered from the anesthetic yet, so she hasn't woken up. She'll be sent to the ward to rest now. Don't be nervous. Both your wife and your daughter are in good condition!"
Charlie nodded. When he saw that Wendy was lying on the bed with a pale face, his heart ached, and he cupped her cheeks with his warm palms. Without stopping, he followed her all the way to the ward.
When the nurse saw this, she cried out in surprise, "Eh? Mr. Hogg, aren't you going to take a look at your baby first?"
"Let him go!" Kim said with a smile.
Hearing this, the nurse immediately understood. Just now, in the operating room, after seeing the child born, Charlie was very excited. He repeatedly told them "you've been working very hard" and "thank you", and then stayed with his wife, who was on the operating table. Just like now, his eyes had never left his wife.
