Henry Armstrong felt his heart melting when he thought about his baby smiling.
“Mr. Armstrong, would you like to take a look at your baby? He is adorable,” the nurse added.
“It’s fine. I’d better keep an eye on my wife. I don’t want her to be alone when she wakes up,” he replied, surprising her with his attitude.
It was her first time meeting a father like Henry despite witnessing many deliveries from other families.
His newborn son was a premature baby and promptly brought into an incubator right after, but his wife merely lost consciousness from exhaustion with a stable condition.
Even so, it was odd how he showed little care toward his son while unable to tear his eyes away from his wife.
However, the nurse refrained from further comments out of respect for his status and silently left the ward.
Approximately an hour later, Georgie Clementine woke up to find Henry by her side.
He nervously stood up when he saw that she was awake. “How do you feel? Are you in pain? Hmm? Do you feel weak?
“Are you thirsty? Do you want some water? You haven’t eaten all night, so you had to fight your way through all that, too. Are you hungry?”
His questions came one after another, and she didn't know which one to answer first.
“I’m not thirsty, and I don’t want water. I don’t want food either. I’m fine," she answered randomly with a chuckle. "Can you not ask me so many questions at once? I just woke up and my mind isn’t fully alert yet.”
He nodded in relief.
“Is our son alright?” she asked nervously.
