Jennie greeted Jeongyeon's parents with a nod as she walked towards Naeyon's mother.
"It's slightly earlier than expected, but thanks to the doctor's reminder, we're quite prepared. She's already been inside for several hours, but there's no news at all!" Jeongyeon was worried.
"Trust the doctors. Nay Nay has been taking care of herself, and she'll have a smooth delivery."
Naeyon's mother looked at Jeongyeon peculiarly. All the new fathers acted similarly. Naeyon's father was like that back then too.
Jennie smiled. Suddenly, there was a sound coming from the operating theatre, They looked over as the doors swung open. The doctor and the nurses wheeled Naeyon out with one of the nurses holding a baby.
Jeongyeon rushed towards the bed as he asked, "Doctor, how's my wife?"
"Congratulations! Both your wife and your daughter are safe! Your wife is very weak now and she needs rest, so let's send her to the ward first."
Everyone was relieved although Jeongyeon was heartbroken to see Naeyon lying on the bed in exhaustion. He held her hands. "Thank you, Nay Nay. Rest well now. I'll be staying with you!"
Jennie's smile grew wider. She let the couple have some time together as she went nearer to the nurse to take a look at the baby instead.
The baby still could not open her eyes yet while she was still clenching her fists. Indeed, she was a cute little thing.
Life was truly amazing. A little baby like this would turn into a beauty in the future!
Jennie smiled and poked the baby's cheek carefully. The light inside her heart was getting stronger.
It would be her turn in a few months' time.
Soon after they got into the ward, Jeongyeon let his father, who had been worrying the whole morning, go home first. Naeyon woke up moments later. She looked at the people around and her first reaction was to look for her child. Jeongyeon quickly gestured to his mother carry the baby over.
While the child was born earlier than expected, she was pretty healthy as a whole.
"Jennie, why are you here as well?" Naeyon played with her daughter for a while as she looked at Jennie joyfully.
"Jennie was here way before this," Jeongyeon told her.
"I'm glad that both of you are safe. The child is adorable. Have you thought of a name for her?" Jennie closed in cheerfully. Naeyon looked much gentler than before now that she had become a mother and had adopted her maternal instincts. It was a surprising sight to see.
Naeyon raised her eyebrows and looked at Jeongyeon. "I've never really thought about a name. Can we name her something flashy?"
Jeongyeon gave it some thought. "I can't think of anything now. Give it a few days and let me think properly!"
"Never mind. I'll come up with one on my own." Naeyon glanced at her daughter before raising her head. She looked over Jennie who was framed by the warm sun outside the window. An idea flashed through her mind. "I got it! We'll call her Yoo Chenxi, bright and hopeful, meaning a brand new hope. How does that sound?"
They repeated the name several times and found it pleasant, thus their daughter was christened Yoo Chenxi. Her nickname would be Xiao Xi.
Jennie sent Lisa a text message by the corridor to share the good news with him and she unexpectedly received a phone call from him.
When she returned to the room, the child was gone with the nurse. Both the parents to Jeongyeon and Naeyon had gone back as well while Jeongyeon went to get some food for Naeyon.
"Jennie, come here!"
Naeyon pointed to a seat beside her, signalling Jennie to sit down, Jennie nodded and went over.
Naeyon grabbed Jennie's hand. "I heard about what happened to Sun Yeong. Don't feel too sad since it's all in the past now. Maybe things will calm down with her absence. You handled her funeral, didn't you? Where's Krystal? She benefitted so much from Sun Yeong, but she didn't even try to do anything for her?"
Naeyon felt unjust for Jennie. She had been ostracized by Sun Yeong, yet she was the one that had helped to arrange her funeral.
Jennie patted Naeyon's hand. "It's alright. Lisa asked Ryujin to handle the funeral. I didn't really do anything apart from attending it. It's my father's responsibility, so we can't avoid it. With him around, I don't really need to worry much."
That man was observant and detail-oriented. Most of the time, he was well-prepared in advance way before she even needed to ask him for it. Jennie only realized yesterday that he had been keeping an eye on the rehabilitation center. She should be the one taking care of things here with Hyunbin not around at that moment. Still, when Sun Yeong passed away, he already knew about it before she called him and he had also given orders to handle her funeral immediately right after.
Naeyon nodded. "True enough. It seems like I don't need to worry about you then! Jennie, without Master Manoban around, you have to take care of yourself. You look like you've lost weight recently. I'll ask my mother to make you some soup every day. Your office isn't that far away from here anyway."
"It's fine, Nay Nay. My mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law are working on that. I've been consuming a lot of tonics too. For some reason, I'm just not gaining weight although the little thing inside is getting bigger." Jennie smiled.
"Your baby must be very strong. It sucked all the nutrients away from you. You might be giving birth to a strong genius baby! The possibility is very high with genes from Master Manoban. Oh, you have to give birth to a boy, so that my daughter can marry him!" Naeyon teased.
"A boy? He always said it's going to be a girl. Hmm, it feels like he doesn't really like boys."
"I bet he's just worried that the child will get more attention than him. The same genders repel each other. Haven't you heard of that before?"
Naeyon assumed she was an expert about man, she immediately voiced out her opinion.
Jennie was at a loss for words. Moments later, she raised her eyebrows. "What kind of comment is that? The same-gender-repels thing can't be used on father and son, can it? He's not that kind of person, so why would he think about that?"
"You have to listen to me! You'll find out soon enough after you give birth to your son! I'm pretty sure that's going to happen!" Naeyon sounded confident.
