Mingxia and the baby were pushed out of the operating room together, and Cao Yuan, Cao Yang, and Xiao Xiao were all there, seizing the stretcher the moment it appeared.
"Mom, you’ve worked so hard, Dad was just here anxiously pacing in circles!"
"Xiao Xia, you’ve suffered," he said, then took her hand and stared deeply into her eyes.
"Mom, you’re so great, you gave me a little brother again!" Xiao Xiao leaned against the stretcher, tiptoed, and kissed her.
Actually, Cao Yuan also wanted to kiss her, but he was embarrassed to do so amidst all the watching eyes.
Mingxia looked around at her family encircling her with eyes full of concern, and her heart burst with immense satisfaction and happiness.
With such understanding family members, no matter how great the suffering, it was worth it.
"I’m sorry I didn’t give you a beautiful little sister, would you reluctantly accept this ugly little brother?" The source of thɪs content is novèlfire.net
Cao Yang had been eager to see his little brother. Hearing Mingxia say this, he wanted to hold him, but Grandma intercepted the baby.
"You and your dad help push your mom with the nurses. Let’s head to the ward first. You’ve all worked hard. Let her get up there and rest sooner."
Cao Yang realized this was indeed the case. One in front and one behind, he and his dad pushed Gong Mingxia up to the gynecology department on the fifth floor.
They had found a private room for her. It was thanks to Cao Yuan’s military buddy’s wife working in gynecology that they managed to get a single room.
Seeing the private ward, Gong Mingxia felt warm inside. A man who does everything you think of is truly worth relying on.
Staying in a private room wasn’t about showing off wealth; it was simply for both to rest well.
She moved onto the hospital bed by herself, and after she settled in, the nurse began to explain some things to pay attention to. By this time, Mingxia was already exhausted and feeling dizzy.
"Soon we’ll get her blood routine back. She’ll probably need a transfusion, as she’s lost a lot of blood, and being in the confinement period, it’s easy to faint. If not careful, it might even affect her future menstrual cycles. The doctor will come to talk to you after seeing the lab results..."
Then the nurse turned to the child, "First, feed him a little glucose water, then formula later. Don’t give too much at once, twenty or thirty milliliters is enough..."
Gong Mingxia was so tired she fell asleep. In a foggy daze, she seemed to hear the baby crying, and they were speaking in hushed voices.
Not knowing how long she slept, Gong Mingxia was shaken awake, "Xiao Xia, do you want to use the restroom? The nurse said you must relieve yourself, or would you like some water?"
Upon hearing this, Gong Mingxia remembered the embarrassing scene outside the delivery room where the doctor pressed on her stomach and she ended up urinating. The pain was one part, but the embarrassment and despair were another. Thankfully, she hadn’t defecated, as some mothers cried out to the doctor, "I pooped, oh, how embarrassing..."
Because the doctor had pressed her, she indeed didn’t feel much, so she obediently nodded wanting water.
Thinking she would need to move, she was once again surprised by Cao Yuan, who somehow procured a straw, held the cup low, and helped her drink water while lying on her side.
After she had her fill, Mingxia looked at him appreciatively, "You’re so thoughtful!"
Cao Yuan’s face turned red, "It wasn’t my idea. It was Yangyang who thought of it when he went with Xiao Xiao to buy soy milk. He saw the straws and asked for a few extras to bring back. That kid is considerate. He said it would be inconvenient for mom to drink water and suggested using a straw."
Mingxia was incredibly moved. As she turned to look for someone else, she found that only she, her husband, and the baby were in the room.
"I told them to go back. Grandma said she would cook for you, and Yangyang will bring it over later."
