Chittip was bothered. She knew her son very well. If anything happened to the person inside, she was worried that...
Taking a deep breath, she turned over and looked at Solar who lowered her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. My lack of attention caused Director Kim's injury. I'm truly sorry."
Chittip and Ye-Jin traded glances at each other. They both seemed worried and did not reply Solar.
Instead, Marco spoke up when he saw Solar only wearing a thin outfit with some blood on her. "Alright, this is not the time for blame, Ah Rong. Give Ms. Ji one of Jennie's coats since it's pretty cold right now. Moreover, this all happened too suddenly, so don't blame yourself for it. We can only pray for her safety."
Marco's warm voice made them feel better.
Chittip grabbed a coat from the bag and handed it to Solar. "Wear this. It's pretty chilly now. It's not your fault and we don't intend on penalizing you either, so don't overthink it."
"Chief Zhuang, I..."
"Alright now. It's the New Year, so you should head back now. There shouldn't be blood on you. Haruto, go and prepare some clean clothes for your Master. It's fine."
"Alright, I'll go and prepare them. Ms. Ji, please follow me and tell me what happened in detail." Haruto then left with Solar.
...
After some time had passed, the door to the operating theatre opened once again. A nurse ran out anxiously as another one sent packs of blood in.
"Nurse, how's my daughter? How is she?" Ye-Jin rushed forward.
"The pregnant patient is experiencing a hard time delivering right now. She's very weak. Be prepared to make a choice whether to keep the adult or the child safe as the situation doesn't look great." The nurse glanced at them nervously.
"Anything is fine as long as my wife is safe. Keep the adult safe. Do you hear me? I want Jennie!" Lisa went out of control and grabbed the nurse's collar, shocking her into fright.
"Lis, stay calm!" Marco stopped Lisa to the relief of the nurse.
Lisa clenched his fists as he remembered Jennie's distressed expression when she begged him earlier. He had no idea if she could take it if the child was gone, hence he added, "Both the adult and the child need to be safe, or else, I'll take down the whole hospital!"
The nurse glanced at him before heading back into the operating theatre.
Pa!
Lisa's phone fell onto the floor, making a harsh, clatter.
The time passed by slowly. The sound of fireworks going off in the empty night sky reached them inside the hospital. City Z was all brightly lit, but the cold wind continued to rush into the corridor through the small window gap, making the atmosphere colder by the second.
Lisa's temperature continued to drop as well.
Jennie, you have to be alright. I just want you to be alright.
Lisa suddenly felt a sense of regret. Had he not been fixated on having a child, she would not be suffering right now. The child did not matter to him anymore.
The fireworks were getting louder and the night sky seemed like it was day time at the moment. Occasionally, they could also hear cheering from the outside.
When the bodyguards sent the clean clothes over, Lisa just took off his coat and cleaned his hand because he did not want her to see him in blood as well.
The New Year had arrived. Greetings went all around and his phone was ringing non-stop.
Finally, right after midnight and as the fireworks were still going on, the door to the operating theatre opened once again as they heard the loud wail of a newborn baby. It was like a light of hope that chased away the darkness.
"It's born!" Chittip quickly went forward.
Ye-Jin and Hyunbin seemed worked up as well.
"How's my wife?"
"How's my daughter?"
"How's Jennie?"
...
They all asked simultaneously.
The nurse came out with a child in her hands. Dr. Huang smiled and said, "Chairman Manoban, take a look at your child. Mrs. Manoban gave birth to a son for you. They are both safe. Don't worry! This baby looks quite cute! However, he's born a little premature, so he'll stay in the incubator for a while. Mrs. Manoban is pretty weak at the moment and will need rest. She'll be relocated to a patient ward after the nurses are done cleaning up. Congratulations!"
Their strained expressions softened after they heard Dr. Huang. It was over now.
Lisa leaned against the wall to support his almost collapsing body. He took several deep breaths in order to calm down. "Thank you, as long as she's alright."
His gaze then averted toward the baby in the nurse's hands.
So wrinkly!
So ugly!
So annoying!
Even more so, it was a boy!
What happened to his daughter?
Lisa frowned and just took a glance at the infant. He was pretty much expressionless as he gazed into the operating theatre.
Chittip and Ye-Jin totally saw Lisa's reaction, and they both smiled. "Alright Lis, she's all fine now. This is your son. If you're not going to hold him, then his grandmother will be holding him first!"
Chittip beamed and quickly took her grandson over from the nurse.
Most of the newborn babies look the same. They would all squint their eyes like an old person. Naturally, Master Manoban had no idea about this and he just thought it was odd. He expected that with both Jennie and his genes their baby should be beautiful and pretty.
However, he had no time to care about the annoying little thing now. He quickly surged forward when the other nurses wheeled Jennie out of the operating theatre on a bed.
"Jennie!"
"Chairman Manoban, Mrs. Manoban is unconscious now. She's very weak and needs rest. Just take care of her and the doctor will see her again later."
Lisa saw that Jennie was sound asleep. Her face still seemed pale and weak like a cloud. He unconsciously grabbed her cold hand under the blanket.
