“How is it? When can they be born?” Xu Mu anxiously rubbed his hands at the door of the delivery room.

The nurse glared at him impatiently. “Is giving birth so simple? What’s the rush? Wait!”

Xu Mu immediately shut his mouth after being rebuked, not daring to utter another word. He grumbled inwardly, “What kind of mission did Assistant Lin assign me? Why are the people here so fierce?”

In the delivery room…

“Breathe! Breathe deeply!” The midwife held Ye Shu’s hand and commanded. Ye Shu tried her best to adjust her breathing under the midwife’s command.

As Ye Shu was petite and the two babies were bigger in size, the doctor originally suggested that Ye Shu perform a C-section. However, Lu Fen said that children born naturally would be healthier and insisted on natural birth.

The doctor had no choice but to agree to the request and arrange for Ye Shu to have a natural birth.

The entire delivery process was very difficult. Ye Shu even fainted from the pain a few times. Finally, after twelve hours of suffering, the two babies were born.

Ye Shu seemed to have forgotten about her pain.She opened her arms and looked at the child. “Doctor, let me see… the child!”

The doctor looked at Ye Shu and said with pity, “Stop looking. You won’t bear to let go!”

“No! Let me see them! Please!” Ye Shu begged. Her entire body leaned out and almost fell off the bed.

The doctor grabbed Ye Shu’s hands and said, “I’m doing this for your own good!”

Then, she said to the two midwives, “Take the child away!”

“No! My children… No!” Ye Shu screamed at the top of her lungs, trying to break free from the doctor’s grip.

“Don’t move! You’re in danger!” the doctor warned sternly.

In the next moment, Ye Shu fainted on the delivery bed.

“Quick! The patient is bleeding profusely! Prepare for surgery!” the doctor said anxiously and immediately ordered the nurse to start the surgery.

Xu Mu held the baby basket and looked at the woman in front of him in surprise. “Aren’t there two?”

“The mother is weak. One child died before she was born,” the woman whispered, her eyes on the baby in the basket.

“Ah…” Xu Mu hesitated, not knowing what to do.

The door of the delivery room suddenly opened, and the voices of doctors and nurses could be heard from inside.

Xu Mu realized that there might really be a problem with the patient. The child might not be saved.He sighed, wondering how he would explain himself when he got back.

“Or do you need to take a look at the other baby?” the woman asked Xu Mu.

Xu Mu was stunned for a moment before hurriedly shaking his head.

“No need, no need!”

Although it was just a baby, it was still a dead baby. He had no interest in looking at it! Xu Mu took the basket and left the hospital without looking back.

After watching Xu Mu leave, the woman turned and walked into the delivery room.

Ye Shu woke up from the bed again and looked at the pale ceiling. Tears flowed down her face instantly. The babies that had accompanied her for nearly 10 months were taken away without her even seeing them…

Perhaps this was her fate!

As it was a natural birth and Ye Shu was young and had a good physique, Ye Shu was discharged from the hospital and went to rest in the apartment she rented after three days.

The child had been taken away and the contract was considered complete. Ye Shu soon received the payment from the other party.

This sum of money was enough for Ye Shu and her mother to live here for a while longer.

Ye Shu followed Lu Fen back to the apartment in the suburbs. It was a small apartment with no neighbors. The environment was quiet and suitable for recuperation.

Ever since Ye Shu gave birth, she became withdrawn and her mood never recovered.

Lu Fen didn’t say much. She just told Ye Shu to go back to her room to rest. She still had some matters to settle.

Ye Shu pushed open the door to one of the rooms and realized that there was a small crib in the room.

“Mom, this…” Ye Shu called out. Lu Fen did not respond.

Ye Shu walked to the baby’s bedside nervously and looked over. There was actually a little child sleeping soundly in the crib.

She covered her mouth with one hand, tears streaming down her face.

Lu Fen walked into the room and came to Ye Shu’s side.

“Mom, this is…” Ye Shu turned to look at Lu Fen and asked.

“This is your child!” Lu Fen smiled and answered softly.

Ye Shu looked at Lu Fen in disbelief and then turned to stare at the baby in front of her.

“How is this possible! Is this really true?”

“I told them that one of the children was dead.” Lu Fen smiled and said, “I didn’t expect them to be so gullible!”

At this moment, Ye Shu could no longer listen to Lu Fen. She reached out and gently touched the baby’s soft face..
