Both of them were thinking of the other person.
The midwives exhausted all of their knowledge and experiences and after a day and night of struggling, Hana had finally given birth to the baby. It was a boy, and he weighed four kilograms. The chubby little baby boy, who weighed four kilograms, had come to the world, and he looked strong and good-natured.
However, he almost took Hana's life.
After Hana had delivered the baby, she fainted. She sweated so profusely that she looked stick thin and her lips were so dry that they cracked. When the child and the mother were wheeled out together, just like Sebastian, Zayn also did not take a look at the child, but instead, he looked at his wife on the delivery bed with incomparable concern.
"Hana, Hana! How are you?" Zayn called out again and again.
Hana was woken up by his shouting. She barely opened her eyes and saw Zayn, who was still quite young.
"Zayn..." Hana wanted to use her head to cover her own face, but she did not even have the strength to raise her hand.
"Zayn...could you...not look at me? I...certainly looked very old...I know it. While giving birth, I had...
exhausted all my strength. Zayn...I...don't want you to see me looking very old," said Hana breathlessly.
Zayn instantly cried. He bent over and kissed Hana on her cheek. "We're already an old married couple, so what's the use of saying all these? I am already more than thirty years old. I had stopped caring about beauty for a long time. What I want is a companion! A companion who can stay with me for life! Never mind that my life is now forty, which is when a woman has the most charm. Even if my wife is in her eighties and has a head full of white hair, she is still my most beautiful and most attractive companion! My companion is the most beautiful woman in the world i n my heart!" 1
"Really?" Hana was so touched that she cried.
"Of course, it's real!"
Zayn had lived for more than thirty years and his first child had just arrived. Zayn, who had originally thought that he would never marry again in this life and never have his own child, was extremely excited. He took great care of his son and his wife. Every day when he saw that his wife's face was so thin that it was all wrinkled because of the sudden loss of more than ten kilograms and childbirth, Zayn would feel heartbroken beyond measure. He would softly touch these wrinkles, feeling heartbroken. "It's all my fault. I f you hadn't given birth to a child for me, you would not have become like this. I will use my life to love you and our son for life."
That was Zayn's resolve. However, that was not Zayn's family's resolve. Three days after Hana had given birth, Zayn's parents and his younger sister had returned from abroad. Originally, his mother was excited to visit her grandchild and her daughter-in-law. After all, their son got married and even had a child. How could they not be happy? When they heard that their daughter-in-law had given birth three days ago, Zayn's parents immediately rushed back from abroad. They did not even return to their home.
Although they were travel-worn, they came directly to the hospital after they got off the plane.
It so happened that Zayn was having a meeting with his staff at the Smith Group at that moment. Before he had left, he gave Ruth a call and asked Ruth to take care of Hana for a while. Ruth also happened to be delayed for half an hour as she had some matters to attend to. Just within that span of half an hour, Hana's room had no one else but her lying on the bed alone while the baby boy who had just been delivered three days ago was next to her. However, Hana was happy. Her husband had just given her a call saying that her mother-in-law would be arriving soon.
Just as the call was disconnected, Zayn's parents had arrived at the door to the ward. At the moment when they saw Hana, Zayn's mother instantly said, "Oh... why are you so old? Are you my daughter-in-law?"
