The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 4

Chapter 718: First-Time Parents (1)

He could feel her sweaty palms. Her hair was a little damp and messy as well. Her struggles were all too obvious to see.

He was heartbroken to see her in such a state. "It must have been tough for you. Have a good sleep and everything will be better once you wake up."

He left a kiss on her forehead before looking at the nurse and giving her a curt nod. The nurse then started wheeling the bed again while Ye-Jin and the others followed behind.

Inside the room, Chittip quickly took out the things inside the bag – the hat, clothes...

"Ye-Jin, help Jennie wear the hat. It's better to be cautious. I'll make a call back home and let our parents know everything is fine. I'm sure they're getting restless now. It's almost daybreak!" Chittip handed the hat to Son Wenn as she said.

"Lis, here's Jennie and your son. Hold him..." Ye-Jin nodded and she handed the little baby to Lisa.

Lisa was startled as he looked at the little thing before him. He looked at the baby's narrowed eyes as his own eyes seemed confused. He shrugged at Ye-Jin helplessly as he had no idea what to do.

Ye-Jin smiled as her gentle voice reached him. "Don't worry. Just be careful. It's a new life after all. It'll be fine if you're cautious. Jennie put in a lot of effort to give birth to him. He's your baby."

Lisa took a deep breath and looked Jennie who was still unconscious. He clenched his fists before extending his arm towards the baby. Ye-Jin smiled and gently placed the baby in his arms.

The baby blinked as he moved his limbs slightly.

At this moment, the usually cool and calm Master Manoban was now getting nervous. A sheen of sweat covered his back.

He was so tiny! Lisa was afraid to touch him and he froze up when the baby started moving. He stared at the baby in his hands as his voice sounded uneasy. "Can you stop moving around?"

Obviously, the newborn baby had no idea what he was talking about. He clenched his fists and struggled. Lisa was shocked as he quickly asked for help, "Nurse!"

"Chairman Manoban!" A nurse quickly came over.

"You... hold him..." Lisa said quietly.

Chittip and the others could not hold their laughter in. She handed the phone to Marco, giving him the signal to call home as she went over and took the child from Lisa. "It'll be fine if you're more careful. Your father was just like you when he held you for the first time, like father like son indeed."

She turned around to look at Marco with a smirk. He coughed slightly before moving closer to take a look at the baby in Chittip's hands. "Well, I just felt nervous holding a baby this small, alright? He does look like Lis when he was little, so tiny..."

A faint light flashed in Lisa's eyes as he saw the little baby resting easy in Chittip's arms. Moments later, he touched the baby's clenched fists, holding them lightly and smiling. "Hello, baby. Nice to meet you. I'm your father. The woman sleeping over there is your mother..."

"Chairman Manoban, the baby is going to sleep. He needs to stay in the incubator for a period of time," reminded the nurse by the side though she felt bad for interrupting, so she spoke very quietly.

Chittip then handed the baby to the nurse and went out with the nurse. "Marco, quickly call back home. Also, get the hospitalization procedures done. Ye-Jin, Hyunbin, you two should head back first. It must be tough staying up the whole night. I almost forgot to wish you guys Happy New Year!"

They were suddenly reminded today was the first day of the New Year. Their baby came to them on this auspicious day. It was a marvelous sign!

Everyone started laughing and greeting each other.

"I'll stay here with Jennie. I can only be at peace of mind here," Ye-Jin said.

Chittip smiled and glanced at Lisa who was standing beside the bed. "Leave this to Lis. It's time for him to do some work after Jennie had given her all, but, Lis, you should go back and clean yourself up."

"Lis, go back and take a shower. Leave it to me for now. I'll go and make something for Jennie to eat after you come back later. Your grandparents are still waiting for the news at home."

...

The baby's arrival was the best New Year present they could ask for. The Maple Residence was in high spirits when the news reached them.

Yong Gun, Hae Sook, and Do Kyung were still there. They were worried sick after waiting throughout the night and were only relieved after knowing that Jennie was fine and that she had given birth to a son.

Jennie only remembered that she passed out of exhaustion. At the very last moment, she heard the sound of a baby crying, but after that, she lost all sensation.

In her sleep, she could feel someone gently wiping her face and hands with a warm towel. A familiar scent drifted around her, and she knew it was a certain someone's unique scent.

Jennie slept for a very long time while Lisa stayed by her side the whole time.

The next morning, as the doctor was checking on Jennie's condition.

"Don't worry, Chairman Manoban. Mrs. Manoban is just too exhausted, but she should be awake soon. Anyhow, she still suffered injuries, so she might be feeling weak when she wakes up. It'll take some time to recover. If her body doesn't keep up, it might be difficult to get pregnant again," the doctor advised.

Lisa's expression darkened as his eyes seemed worried. "Then, what should I do to help her recover more quickly?"

"Don't worry, Chairman Manoban. Just let her rest more and take care of her diet. Mrs. Manoban is very strong. At first, we thought... Well, at least she's fine now. The Little Master is healthy. He'll be fine after staying in the incubator for a while."

Lisa nodded and waved, signaling the doctor to leave the room.
