Caressing her dampened hair, Duke felt his heart break. Belinda's mind grew numb for she had been in too much pain. The only thing she could do was follow the doctor's every advice like she were on autopilot mode. After a while, she didn't even have the strength to cry. When she was about to bite her lower lip, Duke noticed it and very swiftly, reached out to cover her mouth. Reacting unintentionally, she ended up biting his hand with no restraints.
"Arghh!" His face twitched in pain, but he didn't withdraw his hand out of fear so that she wouldn't bite her lip instead. Despite the sting of her teeth sinking into his skin, he was too busy feeling fortunate to have acted fast enough to care.
Every single thing they had to endure was worth it when they heard their baby's first piercing cry. Duke, who was too tired to stand, decided to sit on the floor.
"Congratulations! It's a healthy baby boy!" the obstetrician said gleefully. He then passed the baby to the nurses who began to clean the baby's body. At the same time, they checked his general health such as height, weight, and everything else.
"Honey, I love you," Duke said, kissing his wife on the lips. If he hadn't seen it with his own two eyes, he wouldn't have believed how painful it was to give birth to a child. Now that he knew better, he swore to always treat Belinda with great care, and to never betray her. After all, the woman just gave birth to a son. The least he could do was to ensure her comfort and happiness.
"I love you too," replied Belinda, exhausted yet smiling. Extremely worn-out, she had just experienced the greatest moment f
Belinda's emergency, Tom postponed much of his schedule to make sure he was around in case he was needed. As her delivery took place without any complication, Tom decided it was time for him to go back to his work.
After his shift was done, Kevin went straight to the hospital. When Leena called to tell him that she didn't have the time to cook, their options were narrowed down to eating outside or going to the Leng family's house. So he offered a brief congratulations to the newest parents, and then left the hospital with his wife. As Duke was prompt to hire a professional midwife to tend to the needs of Belinda and the baby, Leena didn't have a hard time conceding to hunger.
"Ouch!" yelped Leena when Kevin grabbed her hand. "Ohh, it hurts!" She applied pressure on the bruised hand, groaning helplessly.
Kevin frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Here, let me check." Waiting for her to show her hand, he held it lightly and saw the uneven bruises on her pale skin, more so on one side than the other. The man took a deep breath. "What happened? Did you get it treated?"
