The doctor advised Zephyr to step back. They guaranteed that Cordelia and their child would be fine.

to the doctors’ instructions.
Perhaps due to the epidural, or perhaps because she had gotten used to the pain and rhythm, she thought it did not
seem to hurt as much now.
“Good, Mrs. Hammerton…” The nurse was helping. “Now, take a deep breath and push!
“Go on, push!

pushing out of her body itself, forcing her to use all her strength.
“Wah––”
A loud cry suddenly echoed. The war was considered to have stopped for now.
Cordelia was exhausted. She was finally relieved and leaned her head on the bed.
Zephyr was excited. He stood where he was with his hands shaking.
“Congratulations, Mr. Hammerton!” The doctor carried the baby over to him. “It’s a boy, and he’s 8.8 pounds!”

How much pain had Cordelia endured to give birth to this chubby son?

However, he had complicated feelings after witnessing what happened in the delivery room.
He dared not think what he would do if something were to happen to Cordelia when she was giving birth.
How would he live alone in this world?
If the child survived, but he lost Cordelia, would he hate the child…

At that moment, Zephyr snapped back to his senses.
He quickly stood up, rushed to Cordelia, and held her hands tightly.
“Cordelia…” He was choking after calling her name.
Cordelia smiled at him. Sweat filled her pale face while her eyes were filled with a mother’s joy.
She stretched her arm to touch his face.
The lights in the delivery room were a little glaring. She could not see accurately, but she saw that his eyes seemed
to be red while his tears were falling.
This man, who was close to 1.9 meters tall, was usually cold and decisive. Yet, he was crying before her now.
She wiped his tears immediately. “What’s wrong, hubby… Don’t do this!”
“I’m okay.”
“Why are you crying? Aren’t you happy that I gave birth to a baby?”
Zephyr squeezed a smile. “I am.”
