Soothed by the nurse and Shen Yi, Aisya's emotions had slightly eased. She asked the nurse in disbelief, "Really?"
"Of course, it's true! And your child is very healthy. Listen to that voice, the strength in those legs and feet."
The nurse placed the baby's small hand in Aisya's, letting her feel her child's warmth and increase the tactile connection, rekindling the sensation of once sharing a body.
Aisya became much more stable emotionally.
Grandmother Shen, standing by, nearly had tears in her eyes from laughter. How had she never noticed how adorable her daughter-in-law was before?
When Aisya was giving birth, the whole Shen family had come. Qu Hui and Shen Fu had already coordinated with the postpartum care center. Shen Xian and Gu Chen had also taken a private jet over early. Now the entire family was waiting outside the delivery room in a mightily impressive row.
The delivery nurses, seeing the whole family gathered around the mother and child, were extremely envious.
