Although she had mentally prepared for the pain before entering the delivery room, she only knew how severe the pain was when she was actually giving birth.
When her mother gave birth to her, she must have experienced this kind of pain.
Her consciousness seemed to be gradually becoming blurred, and the voices of doctors and nurses around her seemed to be drifting away.
All her strength was gradually fading away.
âVeronica! I wonât let anything happen to you, absolutely not!â That familiar voice roared in her ear.
Who is shouting?!
Veronica opened her eyes wide, but her vision was blurry, and she couldnât even focus.
âAnyway, you find a way to get the baby out of her body. Even if the baby dies, it doesnât matter. I just want my wife to live!â The voice continued.
That was⦠Masonâs voice!
However, how could he say that it doesnât matter if the baby dies? They were clearly looking forward to it!
âNo⦠itâs not possible!â Veronica gasped, struggling to keep herself from falling asleep and staying awake.
âThe baby canât⦠have any problems. I will⦠give birth to this baby safelyâ¦â
She was the mother of the child, and now the only person who could ensure the safe birth of this child was her!
The only person the child could rely on was her, the mother!
Almost using up her last bit of strength, she gathered her courageâ¦
Finally, something seemed to leave her body, and then she heard the babyâs cry.
That is⦠her child!
Her child, born safely.
Veronica felt as if she was soaked in sweat.
She had exerted all her strength just now, and now she felt weak.
Her eyes slowly regained focus, and Veronica finally saw Mason kneeling beside her delivery bed.
But tears covered his familiar face.
And his black eyes seemed to be soaked in tears.
âWhy are you crying?â she murmured, her throat dry and hoarse from the earlier screams during delivery.
âBecause I was so worried about you,â he said in a low voice, sounding choked up. When she was about to pass out, he was really afraid that she wouldnât make it.
Afraid that he would lose her like this!
âIâm sorry for making you worry,â Veronica said.
She wanted to raise her hand to wipe away the tears on his face, but she had no strength.
âIt should be me whoâs sorry for making you suffer so much,â he said.
âAs long as the child is safe⦠any amount of suffering is worth it,â Veronica said.
At this moment, the nurse had finished examining the newborn baby, who was wrapped in a small blanket and covered in thick amniotic fluid.
âCongratulations, itâs a girl, weighing 3200 grams,â the nurse held the baby and showed her to Veronica.
Veronica looked at her daughterâs rosy cheeks. At the moment, the babyâs face was still puffy, and her eyes were closed. It was impossible to tell who she looked like.
But looking at this little life, a warm feeling surged in Veronicaâs heart. This was her and Masonâs child.
From now on, she would accompany this child to grow up, and this child would accompany her to grow old.
âThatâs wonderful,â Veronica murmured.
The nurse held the baby and brought her close to Veronicaâs cheek.
