You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1972

Chapter 1972 Not Supposed to Know, but Knows Anyway

Cecelia chimed in, "I'll go prepare some food for you. The doctor said that when you wake up, you can start with water and then some semi-liquid food. I've already prepared everything, it's been in the adjacent resting room."

With those words, Cecelia turned and headed to the next room to prepare the meal. Luther pressed the button to call the doctor and nurses. Joyce got off the bed, "I'm going to freshen up, this sticky feeling on my face is unbearable."

Luther hurriedly held her back, "Don't move, I'll get you a towel, you just gave birth, can you get out of bed?"

Joyce pushed his hand away, "You're underestimating me. I didn't have a C-section, but even if I did, I could still get out of bed now."

As she spoke, she landed her feet steadily on the ground, taking a few steps. She felt relaxed all over, giving birth naturally was indeed different, it was like unloading cargo, her body quickly recovered.

She had thought about having a C-section early, worried that Luther couldn't wait due to the poison in his body. Unexpectedly, an accident led to the early birth of the children. At the same time, the poison in Luther's body was also released, it was truly a happy accident after enduring hardships.

Luther accompanied Joyce to the VIP ward bathroom and handed her the prepared toiletries. After Joyce fixed herself up, she glanced at Luther, "You should shave, those whiskers were poking me earlier."

Luther absentmindedly touched his chin, indeed, he hadn't had time for himself the past few days. "Okay," he replied.

At that moment, the doctor and nurse entered the room. Joyce returned to bed. Shortly after, Luther finished shaving and rejoined her. The doctor conducted a detailed examination on Joyce. The nurse wheeled in a portable ultrasound machine and an X-ray machine, setting up a radiation shield curtain before performing the ultrasound on Joyce. Once done, the nurse wheeled the machines away. The doctor opened their electronic device and reviewed the examination results uploaded, meticulously going through each one.

Meanwhile, Cecelia brought in the semi-liquid breakfast and placed it by the bedside, asking, "Doctor, how was the examination?"

While recording, the doctor replied, "The Marshal's body has recovered well, the placenta has detached cleanly, and the uterus is contracting well. The imaging shows no abnormalities, you can rest assured."

Cecelia nodded, "That's good. Thank you, everyone."

The doctor respectfully responded, "It's our duty. Now, I'll have the nurse draw some blood for the Marshal, if the blood test results are fine, she can be discharged tomorrow."

Luther was surprised, "So soon? Why not stay in the hospital for a few more days?"

The doctor raised their head, smiling, "No need, normally after a natural birth, three days of hospital stay is enough. The Marshal has a good foundation, she just needed some rest. Sleeping accelerates recovery. Leaving the hospital earlier is better for recuperating. Just keep warm, avoid cold foods, and rest well."

Glancing at the prepared meal, the doctor added, "Follow a gradual diet adjustment, starting from semi-liquid to soft foods, in a few days, she can eat normally with no special precautions needed."

"I see," Cecelia recalled something, "The babies are still in the incubator, about breastfeeding..."

An experienced nurse interjected, "Regarding breastfeeding, we discussed this in our department this morning. The babies need to stay in the incubator for two weeks, we'll feed them formula milk. We suggest that the Marshal doesn't have to breastfeed, with modern scientific formula feeding, it's sufficient for the babies' needs."

Joyce furrowed her brows, looking at Cecelia and then Luther. She was conflicted, as a mother, she naturally wanted to breastfeed. When Andres and Alisha were born, she was in a coma for a long time and couldn't breastfeed. Now, the family was finally reunited. But...

She remembered before giving birth, she was almost taken away by Grayson, and Grayson's identity was still unclear. The counter electromagnetic pulse technology was still a huge risk. She couldn't ignore it. And she didn't know what the other side would do next? When would they start?

She hesitantly looked at Luther. Luther held her hand, "You decide, I support you."
