CHAPTER 872 THE GENDER OF THE BABY
Chapter 872 The Gender of the Baby
The doctor looked at Susan for a while and said, "The patient said that he needed to rest and hoped
you leave him alone."
"…"
Susan was quite embarrassed at that moment. Her embarrassment was quite noticeable on her face.
She wondered whether her behaviour was the reason for Manuel's elevated heart rate and the
anomaly in his body. But she didn't regard her expressing love to him as a bother. She knew that
Manuel hadn't been nice to her ever, but she didn't understand why Manuel hated her so much.
But she didn't want to lose face in this case. And she couldn't imagine how the doctor judged her.
Feeling angry, Susan decided to leave and never come again. But as soon as she walked out of the
intensive care unit, she changed her mind. Shit. Although Manuel broke her heart a thousand times,
she still loved him.
She was angry with herself rather than Manuel. When she thought of him, her heart would race and
she would still choose to visit him. She told herself that she wouldn't marry anyone but Manuel all her
life. Susan walked out of the intensive care unit.
Justine was out there, quite worried because she was frightened by the anomaly in Manuel's body.
"How is he?" Justine asked Susan.
"The doctor said he was fine."
"What happened just now?" Justine was still in shock.
Susan didn't know how to tell that she caused Manuel's urgent condition.
"Tell me what happened." Justine was extremely worried since Manuel's accident had made her feel
nervous all the time.
"I just told him that I love him. He said that I bothered him and then his heart rate raced." Susan said
this to help Justine calm down. It was difficult for her to tell this. And her telling the truth made her
extremely embarrassed. She wondered why she couldn't be graceful in front of Manuel and Justine.
Justine kept looking at her, which made Susan blush.
"Don't look at me in this way. I know I shouldn't have done that to Manuel. I won't say anything when I
visit him afterwards."
Justine burst into laughter gently. She was worried but at this moment she was amused by Susan. She
thought that living with Susan would not be boring.
"Could you stop laughing at me in this way?" Susan felt more embarrassed since she was
embarrassed enough when the doctor witnessed her confession to Manuel. She intended to express
her love but Manuel refused her and said she was annoying. If another one experienced this, he or she
might feel too embarrassed to face this. But Susan was strong enough to face this.
"Susan, why are you so silly? Don't you understand him?" Justine tried hard to calm down, being a little
frustrated. But her words showed a little fondness. Susan was speechless. She thought, "You are silly.
Not me."
"Fine." Justine stopped and didn't explain. "Manuel will tell you all the thing when he came to himself."
Susan was confused. "What will he say? Tell me that he hates me, right? Damn. Both Justine and owns © this.
Manuel play tricks on me." She thought.
A week later, the baby who made it to about 1. 65 pounds didn't need to be kept in an isolette. The
baby gained about 0. 11 pounds per day and its body functions became normal. The doctor said it was
good news although the baby was still weak. The baby could leave the hospital and be looked after at
home. And the doctor also told them to being the baby to the hospital for regular check-ups every
fifteen days.
Hannah eventually got a chance to hold her son. Being held in her arms, the baby was looking at her
curiously with wide eyes. He didn't cry although it was the first time he had seen Hannah, his mother.
The doctor and nurse always told Hannah that the baby was good and didn't cry in the isolette. Every
time Hannah heard this, she just felt sad and wanted to cry. Looking at her cute baby at this moment,
her eyes filled with tears. She felt sorry for him because she didn't protect him well since he was in her
belly.
"Hannah, don't cry. The baby is safe. Our family is whole now." Miguel comforted her. But at the same
time, his eyes filled with tears too. Michelle and Lorie also felt tears welling in their eyes. Oscar was
there, and it was the first time that he could see the baby so closely. The baby was so quiet and lovely.
Thinking about the dangerous experience the baby had, Oscar had many mixed feelings inside. But he
forced himself to hold back his excitement.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Miguel asked suddenly. It seemed that nobody cared about the gender of the
baby when he was born since whether the baby could survive or not was the most important thing for
them at that time. Therefore, they didn't bother to pay attention to the appearance and gender of the
baby. When Miguel asked this question, others began to think about this because they cared about the
gender of the baby to some extent.
The nurse answered quickly, "It's a boy! A strong boy!"
Hearing this, Hannah smiled. She didn't smile because of her fondness for a boy. Her smile showed
that she was relieved since the thing had been settled down. She could welcome a new life into this
world happily like all the normal families. She said tenderly to the baby, "Dear, I'm your mum."
The baby boy still looked at Hannah with his clear black eyes, as if he was trying to look at his mother
carefully. Then, he smiled, which warmed all the people there.
"He smiles! He smiles at you!" said Michelle, excited.
Hannah felt quite warm at this moment. She got to know how it felt to be a parent and to hold a baby in
her arm. Holding the baby and seeing him smile was a great experience for her. Oscar also noticed the
smile on the baby's face, which made him excited and felt hard to calm down. A weak baby could be
strong. It was the power of life.
Suddenly, the baby boy pursed his lips and cried. It seemed that he was asking why they left him alone
in the isolette and why his mum hadn't held him as soon as he was born. His cry made them worried
since what the baby did was closely related to how they felt.
"I think the baby is hungry now." The nurse reminded them. "Ms Cooper, you can breastfeed him. You
don't need to pump milk now. I will help you with that."
Hannah nodded and said to others, "You may leave the room now."
It was embarrassing for her to breastfeed her baby in front of so many people. All were out except for
Michelle and Oscar. Hannah glanced at Oscar who was with her when she pumped milk. But she felt
embarrassed when both her mother and Oscar were here. But she didn't say anything.
