Next, a nurse cleaned and dressed the baby before wrapping her up in a blanket that Josh Batton and the others had prepared in advance.
She then placed her next to Annabeth Cates, where the newborn subconsciously reached out to touch her mother's face with her tiny hand.
It was a heart-warming scene.
However, Josh couldn’t focus on his daughter when all he could think about was how his wife had passed out from exhaustion.
Soon, the medical staff brought her and the baby back to their ward with his help.
The moment the delivery room door swung open, Sharon Lindt and the rest saw Annabeth unconscious, and they immediately surrounded her without even looking at the baby.
“What happened? Why did Annabeth pass out?” Sharon asked.
“Yeah, is she all right?” Wilson Batton wondered.
Xyla Quest stood and silently checked her pulse.
“She’s fine. She only passed out from exhaustion but will be recovered soon,” the doctor spoke up.
Xyla had just finished checking on her pulse, so she turned to address her mother-in-law. “Yes, she’s fine. She’ll wake up very soon.”
Hearing her words made Sharon and Wilson feel relieved.
The nurses nearby couldn’t help but exchange glances after witnessing this.
They had witnessed many childbirths while working in the obstetrics department, but this was their first encounter with a family ignoring the baby while only showing concern for the mother.
Usually, only the mother’s family would prioritize her over the newborn, while the in-laws often prioritized their grandchildren.
