"Let me see."
The woman struggled to prop up her upper body, and several maids immediately came forward to support her.
"Madam."
The round-faced maid carefully handed over the baby girl.
The woman took her and examined her carefully.
The baby girl resembled her a lot, with similar eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth.
"My child…"
Looking at the delicate little doll in her arms, the ethereal woman's face softened with a maternal glow.
"Madam, I'm coming in."
Just then, the man who had been anxiously waiting outside pushed the door and entered directly.
He just couldn't wait any longer.
"Madam… you've suffered."
The man came to the woman's side, his eyes full of affection.
"My lord, this is our child."
Yet, the woman shook her head, smiling weakly.
Her eyes were filled with happiness.
The man carefully took the swaddled infant in his arms.
"Madam, I… may I… touch her…?" the man asked, somewhat awkwardly. "I… I've washed my hands."
PFFT...
