It was winter . Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Chen had been in the U . S . for nine months .
Outside the delivery room of Washington’s top maternity hospital, Huo Chen was pacing back and forth anxiously .
The most fundamental quality of a soldier was to stay calm in any situation . But now, Huo Chen was sweating in his palms .
It was said that labor was the most trying moment for a woman; it was akin to walking through the valley of death . This thought was making him uneasy . “Yang Yang, hang in there!” Huo Chen quietly wished .
Eight hours had passed . Finally, Huo Chen heard a faint cry inside the delivery room . The baby was born .
Huo Chen bounced up from the chair and waited anxiously at the door . It did not take long before the delivery room door was pushed open as the blond nurse carried the little thing out from inside .
Huo Chen quickly took a glance . As expected, the baby was full of wrinkles, skin red, but had thick black hair . He then hurriedly looked into the delivery room and asked in English, “How is the mother doing?”
“Everything went well . She is too tired and has fallen asleep . ” After that, several nurses pushed Lu Zhaoyang out from the room .
Huo Chen followed suit and saw her face blushed, hair was drenched in sweat . “You have done well . ” He gently wiped the sweat from her forehead .
Lu Zhaoyang fell asleep and was unaware that the nurses were sending her to the operating theater downstairs instead of her ward .
The ward was quiet . Lu Zhaoyang finally woke up . As soon as she opened her eyes, she reached to touch her belly subconsciously . “Where is the baby?” she sounded frail .
“The baby is healthy . ” Huo Chen saw her reaction and could not help but laugh . He helped her up to lean on the headboard . “Are you tired?”
Lu Zhaoyang shook her head and stroked her belly, which had now turned into a flat tire . She felt a little at a loss .
“Chen, have you seen the baby, is it healthy? Boy or girl? Does it look like me or… him?” Lu Zhaoyang suddenly paused and then held his arm anxiously .
“It is a boy . He cries loudly and looks full of beans . But since he has just been born, he still looks like a wrinkled little monkey . ” Huo Chen patiently answered her questions . “The nurse is feeding him now, and she will bring him here in a bit . ”
“As long as he is healthy . ” Lu Zhaoyang breathed a sigh of relief and slowly let go of his hand . She was a mother now .
“Come here, eat something . You need to regain your strength . ” Huo Chen took the hot porridge in his hands .
Lu Zhaoyang was exhausted now, and she was surprisingly hungry . She had to fill her stomach and regain her strength only then she could hold her baby .
Just then, she suddenly felt something was wrong with her eyes . Her left eye was covered with gauze . “What is happening here?”
“One thing that I have never told you is that we found a suitable cornea two months ago . Unfortunately, it could only be transplanted to one of your eyes . Since you were pregnant then, the transplantation had to be postponed until after the delivery . ”
“Really?” For Lu Zhaoyang, it was good news . After living in darkness for so long, she had given up . So, as long as she could still see a glimmer of light, it was already a God-sent gift .
