Chapter 362: Chapter 86 “Lucky Star” Lily

“Ahhhh!! I’m going to die! Ed! I’m going to die!” Kate screamed, her face covered in sweat beads, her eyes having lost focus, just subconsciously clutching Adrian’s hand, holding on tight without letting go.

“Breathe deeply, breathe deeply, it’s almost over, Kate, it’ll be alright soon,” Adrian, who had been with her in the delivery room the whole time, comforted her continuously, following the doctor’s instructions.

“Push, please push, I can already see the baby’s head,” the busy female doctor under the delivery gown also shouted loudly.

“I’m really going to die, Ed, I’m really going to die,” Kate sobbed towards the end, but her body was still pushing as the female doctor had instructed.

“Don’t worry, nothing is going to happen, trust me, it will be alright soon,” Adrian said, while also taking deep breaths.

Finally, after a struggle that lasted for dozens of minutes, a loud cry rose from below, strong and clearly very healthy.

“Congratulations, sir, it’s a lovely girl,” the equally sweaty female doctor said smilingly to Adrian. After handing the wrinkled bundle of a newborn to the nurse for cleaning, she then wrapped her up and handed her to his arms.

“Wow,” Adrian gazed at the little one in his arms who could not even open her eyes, a strange feeling welling up from his heart, “She’s so cute!”

In his past and present life, this was his first child. Although the body was different, the feeling of blood connection couldn’t be faked. Such a tiny bundle was now the symbol of his life’s continuation, and even having been a person in two lifetimes, Adrian could still feel that indescribable sensation.

“My child… my child…” Kate, lying on the delivery bed, exhausted, still mumbled and searched for her child, driven by maternal instinct.

“Here, the little one is here,” Adrian immediately brought the child to her face, “Look, it’s a girl, beautiful, isn’t she?”

Though just cleaned by the nurse, the newborn’s wrinkled and unopened eyes hardly counted as beautiful, but Kate, holding her in her arms, still showed a tender and moved expression.

“Yes, truly beautiful,” she murmured in a low voice, reaching out to touch the little one’s cheek but hesitating, afraid she wouldn’t like it, and her lips pursed as if she was about to cry again.

Soon, the nurse came over to temporarily take the child away; Kate was very reluctant, but eventually handed her over to the nurse, only taking her eyes back after watching the little one leave. Then, Kate, exhausted to the extreme after returning to the ward, immediately fell into a deep sleep, while Adrian also made do with lying on the couch in his clothes for the whole night.

“Look, there she is, looks like she’s waving at us,” the next morning, Adrian helped Kate to the outside of the nursery, searching for their child through the glass.

“I want to hold her,” the compliant Kate murmured as she nestled in his embrace.

“Don’t worry, you’ll be able to hold her again soon,” Adrian patted Kate’s shoulder gently, his gaze fixed unstintingly on the cradle behind the glass at the left center position.
