The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 374 - 237: The Baby Is Beautiful, Just Like You
Yelyu Lie merely glanced at the child.
The tiny baby wrapped in a small red blanket neither cried nor fussed, blinking his large, crystal-clear eyes, as dark as obsidian, and looking at him curiously.
Occasionally, he tilted his little head, frowning his light eyebrows, seemingly not too fond of the stern-faced father in front of him.
Yelyu Lie originally felt an urge to grab this brat and give him a good spanking.
He himself was born fair and chubby, just like a little meat bun.
But all this was nourished quickly, devouring his wife’s blood and flesh in such a short time!
Yet, upon glancing at those eyes identical to Xiao Jiaojiao’s, Yelyu Lie’s heart instantly softened.
"You little brat! Little wolf cub!"
He pinched the soft little cheeks, but the little guy disdainfully turned his head, his tiny rosy mouth pouting, evading his touch with disdain.
Yelyu Lie: "..."
The old Imperial Physician: "..."
Goodness, could this little baby be a heavenly prodigy? Already possessing intelligence right after birth? Able to sense the General’s disdain for him?
Yet, he didn’t cry or fuss, closing his eyes to feign sleep after dodging, like a little adult.
Imperial Physician Cui was amused, "General, this child is really..."
"Lie’er!!!"
The old Imperial Physician hadn’t finished his sentence when he heard a woman’s exclamation from inside.
The delivery room was always off-limits to Yelyu Lie.
At this moment, hearing his mother’s startled cry, Yelyu Lie’s heart leaped into his throat, and he rushed in without a second thought.
The scene that met his eyes nearly blacked out his vision.
Dizzied to the verge of collapse.
Blood...
So much blood, covering the entire operating table, even staining the floor red.
And the woman lying silently on that narrow table, so motionless as if lifeless...
Yelyu Lie’s legs went weak, and he threw himself forward, "Nuannuan!"
"What’s with calling her? Quickly fetch the Spiritual Spring Water!"
Regarding the child’s rapid growth, Yelyu Lie had told his mother about the Spiritual Spring Water on the way here.
Ayimu knew well that this thing could probably save Nuannuan’s life; otherwise, Master wouldn’t have let go so easily.
After all, these things were given by that dead woman!
But she had been in such a hurry to arrive at the delivery room that she had forgotten...
Yelyu Lie got up, staggered back to the room, and brought all of his little wife’s stored Spiritual Spring Water.
Only a bucket and a half left, as ever since she got pregnant, she could no longer enter that space.
Ayimu’s hands were covered in blood, trembling to the point she could hardly stand.
She forced herself to stay calm, directing, "Pour that water into a bowl and feed it to her, if she can’t drink it, use your mouth to feed her! I’ll manage her body..."
Before Ayimu could finish her sentence, the foolish son already lifted half a bucket of water and gulped it down.
Then he forced the Spiritual Spring Water into the weakening little girl’s mouth on the operating table.
Her lips were icy with a bluish tint, her teeth clenched tight, unable to swallow even a drop of water.
Yelyu Lie’s face was already indistinguishable whether it was the Spiritual Spring Water or tears.
He pried open her jaw forcefully, pinched her emaciated little face, and swallowed another mouthful of Spiritual Spring Water.
Not daring to feed too quickly, fearing she might choke.
Yet wishing to pour it all in at once, a single cough from her would at least ease his worried heart.
"Nuannuan... wake up... please wake up..."
"Baby is really pretty, just like you, he’s got a temper too, just one pinch and he takes offense at me..."
"Nuannuan, you haven’t named the little brat yet? If you don’t wake up, I’ll just call him Little Smelly Dog..."
"Nuannuan..."
With each mouthful of Spiritual Spring Water, he whispered softly by her ear.
Ayimu had seen this son be cold-hearted and indifferent yet also witnessed his infinite indulgence and pampering for the Little Princess.
But seeing him cry like a motherless child, this was her first time.
Brat, who knows if when his old mother passes, he’ll be this heartbroken.
Ayimu wiped away her tears at the corner of her eyes, hastily fetched the other bucket of Spiritual Spring Water and carefully cleaned the wounds on the little girl’s belly.
Not only that, who knows what kind of torment this child had suffered, with distinct purple and green bruises all over her body.
She hid and covered them, not letting anyone see.
People say a mother’s love is great, but her love was greater than any mother’s.
At least, she absolutely couldn’t do it.
The moment the Spiritual Spring Water touched the Little Princess’s body, Ayimu froze in shock.
The scar on her belly due to a Caesarean section shouldn’t touch any water; Ayimu wasn’t sure if the Spiritual Spring Water was as miraculous as her son claimed, so she just dipped a tiny bit with cotton and lightly dabbed along the edge of the uppermost part of the wound.
When a drop of water rolled onto the wound, she was startled, quickly grabbing clean cotton, planning to wipe it off, only to find the uppermost part of the wound miraculously healed!
Only leaving behind a stitch, sticking out incongruously on the untouched skin!
"This... this..."
Ayimu was so shocked she couldn’t speak.
That dead woman, Master! Had such a good thing! Yet in her hands for more than ten years, entirely unaware!
Ayimu was both angry and happy, cutting off the stitch, pulling it, even feeling heartache, cautiously observing the unconscious Little Princess’s reaction.
Seeing she still showed no movement, hastily removed the stitch.
The subsequent procedure involved lightly pulling out the stitches before using the Spiritual Spring Water wherever it touched a stitch.
Hours seemed to pass, and the sky was already dark.
The old Imperial Physician hugged the nursing baby who neither cried nor fussed, not daring to move from the bedchamber.
"Hey, little guy, you’re not hungry, huh?" The old Imperial Physician, bored, began to tease the baby in his arms.
The little guy chewed on his fair, soft, chubby hands, blinking his big eyes, and giggling cheerfully at him.
So lovable to watch.
"I thought you were a little monster, rushing to leave your mother’s womb so soon? See how you’ve tormented her?"
The old Imperial Physician pinched the chubby little face.
Luckily, this child didn’t wail; otherwise, if heard by others, it would be troublesome, indeed!
The old Imperial Physician had just thought this when the little baby in his arms suddenly cried out—"wahhh---"
The old Imperial Physician, who never even coaxed his grandchildren like this, was in a panic, not knowing what to do.
The General and Lady only left the child with him, and not even a wet nurse, so what now?
So distressed, he placed the child on the couch, intending to ask Lady what to do next.
The old Imperial Physician hurried out, thinking no one else was around, stepping outside for just a moment should be fine.
But he never expected that just after he left, a white figure appeared in the room...
