The Baby

As the young nurse had said, the surgery was completed in less than half an hour. Hana, along with her newborn, was wheeled out and taken back to her hospital room. The whole process went smoothly without any complications.

Because of the anesthesia, Hana didn't feel any pain and was quite alert, albeit a bit drowsy. She couldn't get up from her bed. Glancing at her wrinkly newborn girl beside her, Hana breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Jun, saying, "You must be happy now, it's a girl."

She knew Jun had always wanted a daughter.

Jun sat beside her, his gentle eyes shimmering softly. He held Hana's hand, nodded with a smile. "I am very happy. Rest now, I'll take good care of our child."

Hana closed her eyes and after a while opened them again, asking, "Let's make a deal, can you stop making peanut soup?"

Jun replied, "...Okay."
