Chapter: 1062
“Congratulations, Your Majesty. The baby is a healthy princess.”
After soaking in the water infused with medicinal herbs, the baby wiggled her hands, as if the feeling was strange.
After washing off the blood from the baby’s body, white and soft skin resembling Astelle’s was revealed.
The midwife washed the baby in warm water and carefully wrapped her in a warm blanket.
Kaizen was watching the whole process closely. Looking at the baby in the hands of the midwife, he still couldn’t believe the current reality.
That the baby, as small and cute as a stuffed doll, is his and Astelle’s daughter. It all seems like a miracle to Kaizen, who was witnessing the birth of a baby for the first time.
“Is it done?”
The young maid helping the midwife glanced at him with a slightly burdened look, but the old midwife skillfully wrapped the baby in swaddling cloth and approached him.
It seems that she has a lot of experience meeting fathers who often feel mesmerized by their first meeting with the baby.
“Your Majesty, would you like to hold the baby?”
Kaizen carefully received the baby.
He could feel the small warm weight wrapped in the soft cotton cloth. Kaizen moved his hand carefully and hugged the baby more preciously.
Inside the cozy blanket, a small movement was transmitted to his hand along with a slight warmth.
He felt mixed feelings at the sound of weak breathing.
He’s likely never to forget this moment; the day he held his little daughter in his arms for the first time.
“Is she really all right? She was born too early.”
The baby is smaller than normal newborns. Even her little fingers poking out of the blanket looked tiny and fragile as if they were made of snowflakes.
This was Kaizen’s first time holding a newborn, but somehow Kaizen could tell she felt lighter than normal babies.
“Princess is very healthy considering she was born early. I think she was born with a healthy constitution.”
The midwife reassured him that even though the baby was born early, luckily there was no problem with her life.
“But for the time being, she must take specially formulated nutritional supplements and stay in a warm room.”
Kaizen nodded at the midwife’s words.
I guess I’ll have to ask Gretel about the nutritional supplement thing.
“Babies born prematurely are more susceptible to disease than normal ones. Moreover, it’s winter…… So please don’t let the princess touch the cold.”
The midwife gave Hannah several other instructions. Kaizen was also next to her, listening intently to her words.
