Furthermore, a baby would look different every day due to the rapid growth it was
experiencing. The same naturally applied to Anders after an entire month.
“Anders...” Natalie tightened her grip on the baby cot's rails. Overwhelmed by joy, her
voice quivered and choked at the same time.
Ever since Anders was born, she was constantly worried about him and thought of him all
the time. Yet she was unable to hug him nor see him every day due to the fact that he was
kept inside an incubator.
Nonetheless, she never failed to pray, hoping that Anders would be able to leave the
incubator and be reunited with her.
Given that Anders had been staying in there for months, she was almost driven mad by
the urge to hug and kiss him.
However, she was aware that the feelings she had bore no impact on the medical process.
As a result, she had no choice but to suppress her longing for him. Only by not thinking of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim could she alleviate the torment she felt.
With the passage of time, she was cognizant that the duration of Anders' stay inside the
incubator was getting shorter. In fact, she had begun to count down his remaining days
during the time of the competition.
When she woke up every day, the first thing she did wasn't take a shower. Instead, she
would cross out the days on a calendar as a way to remind herself of how long more she
needed to wait before she could hug him.
In her mind, she was expecting Anders to be discharged from the hospital in another
month. It would have coincided with the time the competition ended.
She had assumed that once she returned to the country after completing the competition,
she would be able to be there when Anders was discharged.
Little did she expect that a change of schedule would result in the competition ending
earlier than expected.
Nonetheless, she was glad that it happened, as it would allow her to return to the country
ahead of schedule. She would also be able to visit Anders every day at the hospital.
Unexpectedly, Anders was discharged from the hospital before the competition ended.
Now that he had appeared right in front of her, there was no way she could hold her
emotions back.
Overwhelmed by joy, she burst into tears as she gave Anders a hug.
She alternated between sobbing and crying while caressing his gentle face.
This is real. Anders is right here with me.
Only God knew how much she feared that it was nothing but a dream.
Thank God this is real. This really is my Anders.
With that thought in mind, Natalie tightened her hug over him.
The latter was subsequently awoken by her sobs of delight.
With his eyes still closed, Anders pouted momentarily before wailing out loud.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe sound of his cries forced Natalie to contain her excitement and carry him out of his
cot. Holding him in her arms, she coaxed him, “Good boy, Anders. Don't cry. It's my fault
for waking you. I'm sorry, all right? So please don't cry. I'm here, right by your side.”
While soothing him, Natalie peppered him with kisses on the forehead and cheeks.
Soon, Anders began to calm down as a result of the motherly comfort Natalie provided.
When his eyes gradually opened, he gave Natalie a teary-eyed stare. Subsequently, he let
out the cutest coo that she had ever heard.
Natalie was briefly stunned before being overwhelmed by emotions again. “You're smiling,
Anders. You're smiling at me!”
This is unbelievable. If Anders had been born like an ordinary child, he would likely be in
the womb still. Logically speaking, a child at his stage of growth shouldn't be capable of
smiling.
And yet, she couldn't deny the truth before her eyes—Anders was smiling at her.
It was a fact that shocked Natalie, yet filled her with delight.
His ability to do so indicated that his nervous system was working as it should.
