Chapter 724: Chapter 722 Little Panda [3rd Update]
On the delivery bed, Maya lay flat as instructed by the doctor, while Liam tightly held her hand to comfort her.
When the doctor began delivering the baby, Maya bit her lower lip and silently shed tears, making no sound.
The pain was heart-wrenching, and when it peaked, Maya couldn’t even cry out and had no strength left in her body.
Liam watched helplessly and hurriedly knelt before Maya, his eyes red, pleading, "Maya, don’t hold it in, scream if you’re in pain, and I won’t laugh at you."
Maya’s tears were always big, but this time they were even bigger, larger than soybeans, slipping down her face and burning Liam’s heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Liam, it hurts so much, I can’t even scream, I feel like I’m about to die." Maya cried painfully, stammering and taking a long time to finish her sentence.
She was truly in pain, too weak to cry.
Maya’s heart-wrenching cries made Liam feel even worse, and he accidentally began to cry too.
He offered his arm to Maya’s lips: "Maya, don’t bite your lip, bite me instead. Let me share it with you, it won’t hurt as much if you give some to me."
In a haze of pain, Maya bit into Liam’s arm without realizing her strength.
She didn’t intentionally bite Liam, but she couldn’t control herself; she only knew that she was in deep distress and needed an anchor to relieve her pain.
The doctor reminded them: "Young Master, don’t let your wife hold it in, it’s not good."
"Maya, just cry if it’s painful, it’s okay."
"Waa......" As soon as Liam finished speaking, Maya burst into tears, crying out when the pain became unbearable.
Half an hour later, they heard the baby’s cry.
At that moment, Maya finally breathed a sigh of relief. Liam cradled her face, leaning in to kiss her without even looking at the child because his heart ached for Maya, ached so much he hadn’t noticed his arm bleeding from her bite.
The doctor, observing Liam’s deep affection, reported with a smile: "Young Master, 3.5KG, both mother and child are well."
"Maya, thank you for your hard work!" Maya was too exhausted to open her eyes or speak; she could only express her emotions with tears, indicating to Liam that she felt no hardship.
A while later, Maya was moved back to her room, and the baby was kept in the newborn nursery for a while before being brought in.
In the ward, Charlotte made bird’s nest soup for Maya, and James stayed in the room with her while she quietly rested on the bed, too tired to open her eyes.
At this time, Hannah arrived with Elia Spencer, bringing a ton of supplements for Maya’s recovery, and Elia brought clothes for the baby.
After two years of trials, Elia no longer obsessed over details and had let Henry go. Although her husband wasn’t prominent, he treated her exceptionally well, compensating for her regrets with Henry.
She sat beside Maya, holding her hand tightly, and said, "Maya, if you need anything in the future, just tell me to run errands, and I’ll get it done perfectly for you."
"Thank you," Maya politely responded with a weary smile.
"Elia, stop disturbing Maya’s rest and let her have some quiet time," Hannah said.
After discussing some matters, everyone left the ward, leaving Aunt Smith and Liam behind, Liam to accompany Maya and Aunt Smith to take care of her.
After visiting the baby in the nursery, he was brought to Maya’s room.
Seeing her son, Maya’s smile was radiant, and she quickly turned to the nurse, saying, "Put him on the bed, I want to see him."
"Alright, Madam," the nurse carefully placed the baby next to Maya, letting her take a good look.
Watching the little one, Maya beamed with joy, struggling to say, "Little Panda, I’m mom, did you see your mom?"
Liam sat nearby, watching the two little treasures with a bright smile, feeling immense happiness, and holding Maya’s hand tightly.
Maya stared at the baby without blinking, looking delighted, her spirits instantly lifted, she said, "Liam, Little Panda is so cute, who do you think he looks like?"
Liam stared at the baby for a while but couldn’t discern whom he resembled; he only felt that the baby was obedient and well-behaved, just like Maya.
At that moment, Aunt Smith approached and analyzed, "His eyes, eyebrows, and nose resemble the master, while his mouth and chin are like the mistress’s, he’ll be handsome when he grows up."
"Haha..." Maya laughed happily, forgetting about her pain.
Actually, natural birth recovery is quite rapid; if it’s smooth, you can be up and moving in two hours, easier than cesarean; during cesarean there’s no pain initially, but after the anesthesia wears off, it’s excruciating to even turn over.
At this moment, Maya’s body was gradually recovering, and with the baby accompanying her, she recovered faster.
"Little Panda, Little Panda!" Maya excitedly touched the little guy’s nose.
Liam’s large hand gently caressed her forehead: "Maya, close your eyes and rest, once you’re well rested, we’ll play with the baby again."
"But it’s not dark yet, I can’t sleep, I just want to play with the baby." She had no desire to sleep, focusing solely on watching the baby.
"Maya, you’re really brave." Liam’s hand stroked her face gently, feeling deeply for her.
"Liam, look at Little Panda, his eyes just moved." Maya was excited again.
Liam shook his head helplessly, looking towards mother and child, with them in his life, he wanted for nothing more.
However, Maya pouted and said, "Liam, I want to have a sister for Little Panda."
"Little one, aren’t you afraid of the pain?" He vividly remembered, two months ago, how she cried intensely by the delivery room door.
"Seven was right; it’s done once they’re born." Maya’s mood was exceedingly high.
Actually, she was still in pain; during the delivery she thought she never wanted to have children again.
Yet, the moment she saw Little Panda, she feared nothing, not even another bout of pain. Such a cute baby made her want more.
"Little darling, Liam must have done many good deeds in his last life to have married you." Faced with Maya’s bravery, Liam felt indescribable gratitude and just wanted to hug her, but afraid to hurt her, he held her hand tightly instead.
Maya continued to call out for Little Panda on the side.
Liam kissed her hand and said, "This is our Little Panda."
Such blissful days continued for Liam, Maya, and Little Panda. In the blink of an eye, half a year passed, and Little Panda was now six months old. Maya’s figure had recovered, and she seemed even more radiant than before.
In the villa’s bedroom, Maya placed Little Panda on the bed and teasingly tickled his chin.
However, the little guy lifted his mouth and gave her a cool smile, leaving Maya to sweat, wondering whom this little one resembled.
