"Mommy, are you pregnant with a little sibling?"
When Munchkin, who was lying down on the bed, heard this, his eyes immediately widened as he looked at me with a novel expression.
He had obviously just undergone a major operation, but he was acting like it was nothing. He was focused on his curiosity regardless of his body's weakened state.
"Lie down quickly. Does your wound really not hurt at all?" I could not get angry at all looking at the little guy.
Even if he had just said it did not hurt, I did not want him to risk worsening the wound as it would affect his recovery.
"Mommy, I'm fine. Tell me quickly. Am I going to have a little brother or sister soon?
The doctor at the side reminded, "We can't be sure if they'll be a little brother or little sister yet."
"It doesn't matter. I like them both, but it'd be good if it's a little brother. I can teach him to protect Mommy together."
I smiled lightly and caressed Munchkin's soft hair with my hand. All sorts of feelings were welling up in my heart.
I still did not know what kind of emotions I should be feeling toward the child in my stomach.
They were my flesh and blood, but Theo was also connected to them.
"Miss Lane, the gentleman has informed that if you wish to stay with Munchkin, we can help make the arrangements for you. You need to relax as soon as possible and have a good rest."
I thought about it. Munchkin has just undergone his operation, and I could not sleep next to him. However, with how big my ward was, I could fit another hospital bed inside.
After taking a look at the ward, however, I found I quite like it. "Is there any way you can help me get a bed in here? I like the sunlight here."
Munchkin would be in his recovery period for this period. It would not be too good for him to walk about. I wanted a ward with more sunlight.
"Of course, it’s no problem. We’ll give Mr.
Lane a comprehensive physical examination later. We can let the staff bring the bed in for you then."
