Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1601 The C-Section (Part Two)

"What else could I do? I'm now like a piece of meat on the chopping board. How could I not succumb?"

Daisy said with a slight edge in her voice. How come he wasn't enamored by her and her seduction

attempts? This hateful man!

"Dear, truthfully, you have shown me a good play--but it is a pity I am not like any other stupid men. I'm

Edward and I won't be tricked." Edward's voice cut into her thoughts. Although, he did have to admit

that at a certain point, he almost lost his mind at her amorous advances but he tried his best to

suppress his sexual desire. However, since she liked to play the game, he would join her and let her

know what a real game felt like, and who would truly win it.

"Oh? Really? How about this?" Edward didn't have the time to reply as her lips were pressed upon his

and her tongue tried to gain entry into his mouth. She didn't believe that he would still resist the

temptation now. Soon he would throw himself at her feet, as what she expected.

However, a cunning look crossed Edward's eyes as he shut them and enjoyed the kiss, but he didn't

quite give in yet. It seemed that Senior Colonel Ouyang had gone all out to make him yield, but she had

forgotten one thing. Once a man's sexual desire was awakened, there was no way she could fully stop

it. Daisy was less shrewd compared to Edward when it came to the art of lovemaking. She could be a

good commander on the battle field, but when it came to sex, she could never take the reins. She

eventually became the lamb to the slaughter on bed as Edward gained the upper hand.

Daisy had thought to use the honey-trap to make him lose his senses, and then she would take that

chance to give what he deserved. However, it seemed that it never came to her that he had a firm

command of making hot, amorous sex, and he got what he wanted. His palms were now flat on the wall

and his arms caged her as he took control of their lustful kiss. In the end, she lost the bait along with

the fish as they tumbled together in a passion-filled evening.

The only sound that could be heard in the room was the beeping of the health monitors and other

medical equipment. Patricia slept peacefully on medication. She had planned to go into a natural labor,

but the B ultrasonic diagnosis showed that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck.

Worse, it circled the baby's neck for a few rounds. Thus, she had no choice but to do the C-section.

Fortunately, Tom made the whole process almost painless for her. She only felt a little stinging after the

anesthesia wore off.

"Tom, how is Patricia? When could she wake up?" Leena's soft voice resonated in the room. From the

moment she got the news that Patricia was sent to the hospital, she immediately prepared the chicken

soup and rushed to the hospital. She had been waiting outside the delivery room the whole time. Since

Patricia's mother was out of town to visit a friend, Leena did everything that she could think of to help

her friend. What a considerate BFF!

"She will wake up after the effect of anesthetics fades away, but she can't immediately eat anything

before she expels the gas," Tom replied as he gazed tenderly at Patricia. He had never been treated ill

by his wife. Like any other couples, they would argue with each other sometimes--but Patricia had

never acted unreasonably, like pulling his hair or cursing him in vulgar words. In the moment when he

saw his little baby, he was deeply moved and felt something that was hard to describe. He felt grateful

to Patricia for giving him the gift of such a beautiful life. Maybe that was how it was when one became a

parent for the first time.

"Okay. But when can the baby be sent back to the hospital room, to stay with Patricia?" Just like any

other newborns, their baby also had the typical bluish-yellowish skin, so the baby had to receive the

blue light treatment.

"That has to wait until after 24 hours. If you want to see the baby, you can come tomorrow," Tom said.

The couple had never cared whether it was a girl or a boy right from the beginning. It wouldn't make

any difference to them, as they would love the baby wholeheartedly regardless of the gender. However,

personally for Tom, he preferred to have a girl. Wasn't there an old saying that the daughter was the

father's lover in the previous life? Therefore, he quite hoped to have a baby girl. Although he was a little

bit disappointed when it turned out to be a boy, he was still glad to accept this fact. 'God sent me a boy,

that's also very good. He can protect his mommy when he grows up, ' Tom thought.

"I heard that the baby weighs over 3.5 kg. I can't wait to see his round chubby cheeks," Leena said in

delight. It was lucky that Patricia had done the C-section, otherwise such a big and plump baby would

make the labor more difficult.

"Yes, he has absorbed all the nutrients his mother ate, I guess." He said as happiness radiated from his

face at the mention of his baby. He couldn't believe that he had become a father so soon, and it was a

joyful feeling.

"This is perfect. The mother doesn't have to lose weight and the baby is very strong. That's wonderful."

Leena had always liked chubby babies. She was sure that the little one was very adorable with soft

chubby cheeks and chubby hands. Her heart had already melted as she imagined herself touching the

soft and fleshy face of the baby.

"You are indeed real friends; you and Patricia share same views in this." Tom was rather stunned by

the tacit understanding between Leena and Patricia. He remembered that Patricia felt quite lucky that

she wasn't out of shape after she got pregnant. It was true, because except for her pregnant belly she

still looked just the same as she was before.

"So what? Isn't this what BBF means?" Leena said curiously. Although there was somewhat a rough

patch between she and Patricia recently, they had been friends for years and something like that

wouldn't change their friendship.

"Yes, thank you for making me know what friend means. You should go home now to have a break. I

will stay here with her." Tom worried that Leena might overexert herself and be exhausted, so he kindly

asked her to go back home and take a much-needed rest. However, she insisted, "I want to wait until

Patricia wakes up. I already told Kevin about this and he would pick me up after work." Leena was not

a spoiled princess. She didn't feel tired at all. It was nothing for her to take care of something like this.

"Okay. You stay here and I'll come back soon." He had just excused himself for temporarily leaving his

other patients and came there to check up on his wife. Although there was another doctor available to

handle the other patients, he still wanted to go back and finish his rounds. He was a good doctor and

would always take responsibility for his work and his patients.

"Okay. Go then! I'll take care of her." Leena said as she smoothed out Patricia's messy short hair, her

eyes full of concern. She suddenly thought that all women were great on the day they gave birth to their

children. She didn't know what it would be like when her turn came. She even hated going to the

hospital the most because she was weak in bearing any sort of pain.

Patricia woke up half an hour later, and Tom still hadn't been back. He was probably delayed by some

very urgent cases. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Patricia, how do you feel now? Are you alright?" Leena asked anxiously as soon as she saw Patricia

open her eyes.

"Leena, it's you! Where is Tom?" Patricia asked with a slight frown on her pale face. She got a little

disappointed when the first person she saw as soon as she woke up was not her husband.
