Chapter 923: Chapter 923: Like a Quiet Little Kitty
Shen Chi grabbed her hand and pushed her shoulders down, trying to control her emotions.
Because of Xu Chaomu’s agitation, the IV bottle swung incessantly from left to right.
“Mumu, listen to me. Calm down first,” Shen Chi pressed on her, “The baby is fine, it’s just premature.”
Xu Chaomu looked at him with wide eyes, suppressing her emotions, with blank and confused eyes.
Shen Chi noticed she had lost a lot of weight these past few days. And at this moment, her eye sockets were deeply sunken, devoid of any sparkle.
At this point, his own heart was also in great pain, as if stabbed with needles.
“It’s okay? Really okay? Where is my baby then…” Xu Chaomu looked at him expectantly.
She wanted her baby; she wanted to see her baby….
Xu Chaomu was still very excited. Had Shen Chi not been holding her down, she would’ve definitely removed the IV to find her baby.
Fortunately, Shen Chi was there. Of course, he wouldn’t allow her to move recklessly.
“Because it’s premature, it’s in an incubator. The doctors are taking care of him, so, just be patient, okay?” Shen Chi said, looking into her eyes.
His voice was very gentle, as gentle as a spring breeze, able to melt the hardest ice.
Fortunately, he had his own emotions under control, or else, how could he possibly be comforting Xu Chaomu now…
His heart was no more at ease than hers, especially seeing her like this, the pain multiplied a thousand, ten thousand times.
He didn’t dare to tell her the truth, especially that 20% chance.
If he told her the truth, she would collapse.
Hearing Shen Chi’s words, Xu Chaomu nodded her head, no longer making any rash movements. She looked obedient, just like a quiet cat.
She lay quietly on the bed, closing her eyes.
“The IV is almost done; I’ll call the nurse,” Shen Chi glanced at the IV bottle.
Xu Chaomu remained silent, lying quietly.
Shen Chi walked out, and just as he exited the door, he saw Butler Ling and Elder Cheng sitting together, talking.
Wealth was lying at Butler Ling’s feet, playing with itself, its small bell jingling incessantly.
Seeing Shen Chi come out, Butler Ling quickly stood up: “Fourth Young Master.”
“Hmm,” said Shen Chi, “go and call the nurse, the IV is done.”

“Yes, I’m on it now.”
Butler Ling rose to go to the nursing station, and Elder Cheng also stood up, respectfully nodding his head.
“Mr. Shen… Has the Fourth Young Madam awakened?”
“She’s awake. I only told her the child is fine, in an incubator. Don’t say anything to her either,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
“Yes, alright,” Elder Cheng agreed.
At that moment, Shen Chi bent down and picked up Wealth into his arms.
Wealth probably hadn’t seen Shen Chi for quite a while and was particularly shy, meowing twice, trying persistently to jump out of Shen Chi’s arms.
Shen Chi held it down, stroked its head, wanting to say something but felt choked up.
A sweetness tinged with the sharp taste of metal rose in his throat, he frowned, and remained silent, just petting Wealth’s head.
After struggling for a while, Wealth, unable to free itself from Shen Chi’s embrace, acquiesced and lay quietly in his arms.
It had just been playing with a small ball on the floor. Now that it couldn’t reach it, it could only look eagerly at the ball on the ground, its round black eyes rolling around.
For some reason, Shen Chi couldn’t speak. A man of reason, he now feared facing Xu Chaomu, afraid of seeing those cloudy, large eyes of hers.
At that time, the young nurse followed Butler Ling to the door. They nodded at Shen Chi and then knocked on the door.
Xu Chaomu was lying on the hospital bed, and just in time, the IV bottle ran out of medicine.
The skilled nurse expertly removed the IV from Xu Chaomu and gave a few instructions to Butler Ling.
Butler Ling had not entered the room all afternoon, but now, seeing Xu Chaomu’s fairly stable condition, he breathed a small sigh of relief.
Yet, the matter concerning the child was still hanging in the balance, whether he could truly relax was something that yet remained to be seen.
Shen Chi entered, carrying Wealth in his arms, feeling for the first time that this little creature was actually quite adorable.
At this time, the sunset glow covered the entire land, casting a warm orange hue on the window glass and enveloping everything in it.
“Fourth Master,” Butler Ling said.
“You go prepare dinner first, leave this to me,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
“Alright.”
Butler Ling and the nurse both left the room and closed the door behind them for Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu.
Xu Chaomu had woken up, hearing Shen Chi’s distinct deep voice.
“I want to see my baby,” Xu Chaomu said softly.
She was feeling very weak, and just by speaking, she felt a searing pain in her stomach, as if it were being torn apart.
She didn’t dare to move and just opened her eyes.
Shen Chi put Wealth down and sat beside her bed.
“You can’t see him right now, be good,” Shen Chi extended his hand and stroked her head.
Her hair was very soft, he stroked her, trying his best to comfort her.
Xu Chaomu stopped speaking, her eyes lowered silently, her face showing a touch of disappointment.
“I brought Wealth with me, do you want to see him?” Shen Chi coaxed her.
“Hold him up for me,” Xu Chaomu said.
“Mmm, don’t talk, the wound will hurt a lot,” Shen Chi frowned, looking at her with a pained heart.
Giving birth was like walking through a torturous ordeal, he could imagine the pain.
However, what comforted him was that Xu Chaomu’s attitude towards him was not as cold as he had imagined, perhaps… it was because of that baby who had just come into the world.
Shen Chi caught Wealth, who was running all over the place, and held him in his arms.
Busy playing, Wealth was upset by the disturbance and began to cry out, “Aow aow aow.”
With a baffled look in its eyes, Wealth looked at Shen Chi, its face clearly showing dissension.
For some reason, Xu Chaomu, seeing Shen Chi in a suit holding a dog, actually laughed.
Her pale lips curled slightly, and her large eyes brightened up a bit.
In fact, what she wanted to see the most at this hour was her baby; what did the little one look like, was he well-behaved…
During the cesarean delivery, she had passed out from the pain, not even managing to hear the baby’s cry.
A twinge of anxiety rose in her heart, was the little one really okay?
“If you don’t mind its dirty paws, I’ll place it beside your bed,” Shen Chi said as he held Wealth and moved closer.
Seeing Xu Chaomu laugh lightened his heart a bit.
Xu Chaomu shifted her focus back to Wealth, reaching out her hand, wanting to touch its soft fur, but finding she had no strength at all.
“Help me sit up,” Xu Chaomu said.
“No, stay lying down,” Shen Chi disagreed.
Xu Chaomu didn’t say anything further, straining her hand to reach Wealth in Shen Chi’s hold.
Shen Chi caught her hand and placed it on Wealth’s head.
Xu Chaomu smiled, because she saw that Wealth was being very well-behaved, and seemed a bit silly looking around in confusion.
