A New Beginning

"The baby has been safely delivered."

Her gentle smile filled Ignatius with relief.

He rushed toward her, his eyes fixed on the child, but at the same time, his mind was consumed by worry for Shen Xinghui.

"What about Xinghui?"

"He's alright. There was significant bleeding, but he is conscious and stable. The bleeding stopped relatively quickly, thanks to both the midwife's treatment and his own healing abilities."

At those words, the tension drained from Ignatius all at once.

His legs gave out, and he collapsed onto the floor.

His father approached, pulling him into a strong embrace before giving his shoulder a firm pat.

The fear melted away, leaving only happiness in its place.

"Ignatius, look."

His mother was the first one to hold the child and she urging him to come closer.

He stood up and slowly approached the child in his mother arms.

He looked down at the baby, who smiled up at him.
