152 Its a Girl (2/2)

She touched the baby's soft face lightly. She remembered that the child had cried. Even though she was on the verge of fainting at that point in time, it was the child's cries that pulled her back to reality.

She kissed her daughter's small cheeks softly. Newborn babies are always red and have wrinkly skin so it would be impossible to determine if she was beautiful or ugly, but she had already seen a shadow of herself on her daughter's face. The child moved her small lips slightly as if she wanted to be closer to Xia Ruoxin.

Suddenly, two drops of tears fell onto the child's face, making her small face wet. The child's lips tightened, and it looked like she was going to cry soon.

”Good girl, don't cry. Mommy's here, hush…” She rocked the baby lightly in her arms, wiping away the teardrops off her face gently. It was all her fault. She shouldn't have cried; it scared her daughter.

In the rocking of her mother's arms, the small baby's eyes fluttered closed with curled eyelashes very much like her mother's. She fell asleep again.

It was after a very long while when she put down the baby in her arms reluctantly. Actually, she didn't want to put her down at all—she couldn't bear it. She wanted to hug her forever like this and not let go.

She was her dearest daughter, her life.

She dragged her extremely fatigued body and got out of bed with difficulty, her entire body aching like hell, especially her left hand and her lower body. Just a small movement would make her body break out in cold sweat due to the pain.

She wanted to just stay put. She didn't want to move an inch. However, when her eyes landed on the small ball of meat on the small bed again, she just smiled. With her around, nothing else was important. With her around, nothing hurt anymore.

She got off the bed, walked slowly step-by-step, and then boiled some water. Every time she felt like she couldn't do it anymore, she would take a look at the daughter she risked her life to give birth to. It gave her strength to persevere.

She finally boiled a pot of hot water, which she would be reluctant to use usually. She walked over and picked up the extremely obedient child and kissed her soft cheeks again.
