When Henry Armstrong entered the VIP ward, he felt as if he’d just returned from hell as the memories of what happened a while ago made him sweat all over.
Although having a newborn was worth celebrating, he couldn’t bring himself to feel happy just yet.
He didn’t even have a proper look at his baby because his eyes never left Georgie Clementine at all.
After arriving at the ward, most nurses left to take care of the baby, leaving only a few others behind to help move Georgie onto a bed with his assistance.
He remained silent as he sat next to her rigidly, holding one of her cold hands and gazing at her pale face.
His heart ached upon recalling everything she had suffered through earlier.
He vowed never to get Georgie pregnant again so that they would only have to live through this experience once.
Soon, the doctor attached her other hand to an anti-inflammatory drip and then launched into a brief explanation about both the mother's and child's conditions and anything worthy of note before taking his leave.
Henry sat in stoic silence beside the bed to accompany her without even visiting his newborn son.
The doctor had assured him that the baby was normal but needed close observation in the incubator for a while.
He was more worried about Georgie since he knew his son was fine. He couldn’t wake her up to look at him.
Meanwhile, the nurses had already set things up for the baby, connecting various tubes to his tiny body to help with his nutrition intake and adjusting the temperature within the incubator accordingly.
The nurses stayed to observe him, taking note of his plump and pinkened body. He seemed so adorable with his eyes tightly shut the entire time.
