"Did you hear her? The baby's almost out. Just keep going, do your best not to pass out. You can make it, Leena!" Daisy kept talking to her, as if the pain from Leena's grasp ant nothing. She knew all too well that in order to give a successful birth, there was a lot of suffering in the process. All of this, after making it through, was going to be worth it.
"Kevin!" Leena couldn't help but scream as she pushed through the pain, and squeezed the baby out. An imdiate silence ensued after her cry and the dical workers' voice. Then, after what seed to be a long ti, a baby's loud cry broke the silence. Everyone had a smile on their face at the sound. Truly, it was music to their ears. Seeing the baby in the doctor's hands, Leena smiled weakly. But before she could manage to say anything, she had lost consciousness.
"Leena? What's the matter? Can you hear ?" asked Daisy, panicking as she noticed Leena's grasp loosening. "Doctor, please," cried Daisy, as Leena started losing color again. "You have to co here and check her at once."
Hurrying over to Leena's side, the doctor checked her pupils. To Daisy's surprise, the doctor gave her a smile and said, "Don't worry," she said, letting out a relieved sigh. "She just fainted out of fatigue. I'm sure she'll co around after having so rest."
"It's a healthy baby boy," said the doctor gleefully while approaching Daisy. "Weighing nearly eight pounds. Congratulation!" Upon seeing the baby, Daisy couldn't help but smile again. It was definitely no easy job to give birth to such an adorable chubby boy.
anwhile, the n waiting outside were overjoyed. "Did you hear that?" asked Rain in excitent. "The baby's born!"
"We're not deaf, Rain," Edward said exasperatedly, glaring at Rain. "Just don't make a fuss over it, will you?" Apparently, Rain was the most enthusiastic out of all the n. His scream earlier startled the others, and it nearly drove them mad.
"I'm sorry," said Rain impishly. "I was too happy and I couldn't help it." He then glanced at his boss and lowered his head. Fearing that his boss
hy hasn't she co around yet?" It was the worried brother's turn to jump to his feet like a cat on hot bricks.
Tom replied in a hushed voice, "Calm down, man. She'll wake up soon after regaining her strength. You probably shouldn't make such a noise again as you might wake her up, you know." Surprised, he never knew that the cold and distant Duke could act like a nagging old woman. Ti and again, Tom was forced to explain to him that Leena would be fine. But Duke, who had a hard ti taking his word for it, kept asking the sa question around.
"Has Mrs. Gu woken up yet?" asked Lucy, who ca with a lunch box. "I brought her so chicken soup." The woman appeared to be in her forties. She was rather well-mannered. She almost seed like a city-born woman.
"Not yet. You can just put it on the bedside table," Daisy replied, smiling. "She can eat it right after she gets up later." Chicken soup was universally known to be good for won who had just given birth. So naturally, Lucy felt that Leena had to eat as much as she needed.
"I've got work to do at the army base," Daisy said, lifting her hand to check her watch. "Sorry, I'm going to have to run now." Edward, who was listening, happened to notice the scratches on her wrist.
"What are those? Are you hurt?" He grabbed her quickly, and took a closer look at the wounds. Frowning, he found that there were many of them.
