Chapter 707: Chapter 707: Chaotic Baby-Making (27)
 

Just a few hours after the surgery, the doctor advised Ruby Gregory not to get out of bed at this time, but to lie flat on the bed to avoid the wound from opening. After twenty-four hours, she could wear a binding belt and get out of bed to help the wound heal better.

Steve Burton had gone home once and changed into clean casual clothes, and he also brought the chicken soup Mrs. Taylor had prepared in the morning. After the doctor left, he served a bowl of soup and sat on the bedside, spoon-feeding it to Ruby.

Ruby knew this was for nourishment. Although she didn’t have an appetite, she cooperated with Steve, drank half a small bowl, and then raised her hand to cover her abdominal wound. Raising her eyelids, she asked Steve, “Where are the babies?”

Steve put down the bowl, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found the photos he had taken earlier, handed them to Ruby, and said, “This is the first-born, a boy. This is Second-born, also a boy. When I took their photos, he had just peed and cried. This is the scene of the special care nurses changing his diaper… and finally, this is a little princess. When I took her photo, her eyes were closed, and she was smiling.”

Ruby laughed when she heard the last sentence, causing her stomach to twitch a couple of times. Steve quickly said, “The doctor said it’s best not to laugh too much to avoid the wound from opening.”

After that, Steve asked, “Does it hurt?”

Perhaps because the anesthesia hadn’t worn off, Ruby felt no pain in her stomach despite the incision. She shook her head at Steve and took his mobile phone.

Ruby carefully looked at the photos again. Although mothers were not supposed to think their children were ugly, Ruby sounded slightly disappointed when she said, “They don’t seem as good-looking as I imagined.”

It was clear they were not Steve’s children, but upon hearing this, he immediately leaned forward, glanced at the screen, and said, “Where are they not good-looking? This is just before they grow up. Especially the little princess, just look at how pretty she is, she is simply carved from the same mold as you.”

Carved from the same mold as her? Ruby stared at her daughter’s smiling face, her tiny nose and eyes squished together. Her silent, grinning mouth had nothing to do with beauty – how could she be carved from the same mold as her?

Although Ruby felt her three children didn’t live up to her expectations, she still obediently held Steve’s phone, staring at the pictures of her children numerous times, examining their yet-to-be-formed features. Then, she occasionally looked up to compare Steve’s face with her children’s, trying to find similarities.

Steve noticed that from the time Ruby woke up till now, she hadn’t taken her phone for more than an hour, thinking of calling Edric Reat to inform about the babies’ birth. In the end, Steve couldn’t help but remind her, “Ruby, shouldn’t you call everyone to tell them the babies are born?”

Ruby’s eyes never left the photo of her smiling daughter on the phone screen. She just said nonchalantly, “Tomorrow. I just had surgery today, and I want to rest.”
