Chapter 778: Chapter 770 An Ugly Word Chapter 778: Chapter 770 An Ugly Word “A boy, four pounds and nine ounces.”
The nurse carried out a wrinkled child.
Its tiny appearance was truly pitiful.
When Tang Yuxin gave birth to Xiaobai, he was a seven-month premature baby, and even though they were twins, Dabai’s weight exceeded four pounds as well.
Yet Tang Sisi gave birth to only one full-term child, and how could she deliver such a small, pitiful child?
Its tiny arms and legs were as thin as chicken claws, and its skin was wrinkled too, not at all like Dabai and Xiaobai when they were born, so white and tender.
It must be said that Tang Yuxin’s twins were indeed blessed.
Although both were thin when they ca into the world, their features were good, and their skin wasn’t wrinkled.
...
Compared to this wrinkled child, it was indeed hard on the eyes for those accustod to the sight of Dabai and Xiaobai.
“Let see,” Tang Yuxin took the skinny monkey that Tang Sisi had given birth to.
How should she describe it?
The child was really too ugly, and not just ordinarily so.
It might not be considered ugly in the eyes of others, but it all depends on whom you compare it with.
Compared to her twin sons, there was really no contest; it was like putting a beauty and a beast side by side.
“He must be starving, right?” Tang Yuxin was brutally direct.
The child being so small, everyone knew the reason.
Tang Sisi’s nutrition in the late stages was absolutely sufficient, and Zhang Xiangcao, her biological mother, had taken care of her tirelessly.
She ate five or six als a day without ever being starved, and yet now to give birth to such an ugly child, there could only be one reason to explain it: that ti she fasted to lose weight, she must have starved the child.
“First, put him in an incubator,” Tang Yuxin handed the child over to the nurse.
In fact, she had just checked; although the baby was small, his overall physical developnt was quite good.
He was rely a bit ugly.
“It’s okay, he’ll look better as he grows.”
Zhang Xiangcao barely managed to squeeze out this sentence, but could he really grow to look better?
With a face as sharp as a monkey’s and ugly like an old man, could he truly beco good-looking?
Tang Sisi had a natural delivery and woke up rather quickly.
She desperately wanted to see her child, but Wang Zitan wouldn’t let her.
“Why can’t I see the baby?” Tang Sisi felt terrible.
Why couldn’t she see the child she had fought so hard to deliver?
Wasn’t this a bit too much?
“The child is currently in an incubator, the hospital doesn’t allow visits right now,” Wang Zitan forced a smile.
He couldn’t let Tang Sisi see her own son because he was too ugly.
Let him grow a bit longer, maybe, as Zhang Xiangcao said, he would get better-looking as he grew, and then he might be presentable.
“Why does the child suddenly need to be in an incubator?” Tang Sisi didn’t understand, and she felt a fearful urge to cry, “Is there sothing wrong with the baby?
Or did I give birth to him with so part not fully developed, like missing an arm or a leg?”
“What are you thinking?” Wang Zitan tapped her forehead, “Your son is fine.
He’s just a bit underweight, and he’s got so neonatal jaundice, but your sister said it’s no issue.
Once the jaundice clears up, he’ll be fine.”
At these words, Tang Sisi grew less worried.
He knew that jaundice was very common in newborns and indeed, as long as the jaundice cleared, all would be well.
She would rest and eat well for her confinent, and yet she still hadn’t managed to see her baby.
Tang Yuxin was outside the newborn ICU.
“How is he doing today?”
She walked in and asked the duty doctor.
“He’s much better today.
Among all these children here, he is the liveliest,”
said the doctor on duty, touching one of the incubators, “Look, he’s already asleep now, and he’s quite well-behaved.
He has gained so weight recently, doesn’t look as ugly as before.”
The word “ugly” truly stung Tang Yuxin’s heart.
It was different when her own family said it because, at least, they were the Tang Family, and the child was theirs—so no matter how ugly, he was beautiful in their eyes.
But why did the word “ugly,” when spoken by soone else, seem to cut so deeply?
Tang Yuxin leaned over the incubator, where the child inside had his eyes tightly shut, resembling Tang Sisi’s thin and frail appearance as a child.
This child definitely took after Tang Sisi.
Now, he was just as pale and emaciated as Tang Sisi had been, unable to even walk, and completely alike in the way they both were starved.
Well, he didn’t disappoint as Tang Sisi’s child, truly a fast grower.
Isn’t it mysterious how nobody could tell what she looked like before?
However, the doctor on duty said that he had beco more handso, and Tang Yuxin felt it too—he was a bit more attractive, at least not like an old man anymore.
Of course, this relative attractiveness was in comparison to other less-attractive children; faced with the Gu Family’s Big White and Small White, he really couldn’t compete.
Big White and Small White were honored to be the best-looking babies in the hospital right after they were born, whereas he was sowhat close to being the ugliest one.
Still, Tang Yuxin ca to see the child every day.
He was really fine and growing quickly.
In probably just over twenty days in the incubator, he had reached the standard weight.
If he kept growing at this rate, he might not even fit in the incubator much longer.
When the child was born, he was thin and small, with wrinkled skin, but he grew rapidly.
In just over ten days, he had gained about two pounds, and now he was nearly seven pounds, having put on quite a bit of weight.
His skin wasn’t as red or wrinkly as before, but he wasn’t exactly handso either.
Yet, even though he wasn’t great-looking, he was at least inside the realm of bearable.
Tang Yuxin carefully lifted the child out of the incubator.
“Let’s go, go ho with your auntie,”
she said, holding the baby and cooing at him for a while.
This little one didn’t seem to be a stranger to her, probably really recognizing Tang Yuxin.
He kept opening his little mouth and smiling, which, upon seeing his smile, she thought was quite cute and not at all ugly.
Wait, why bring up ugliness again?
Tang Yuxin truly wanted to slap herself.
The child was still young; beauty or ugliness couldn’t be seen yet.
When he grew up, he would naturally beco handso.
She held the child carefully—sohow, the more she looked at him, the more attractive he beca.
At the very least, he now looked endearing, like Sisi as a child.
Sisi wasn’t pretty then and even had the nickna “Little Clown,” but she had beco beautiful as she grew up.
