Chapter 2037: Chapter 19: It’s Good to Be Alive

In another room, Lady Liang had just fed Little Bun and found that he was still awake, so she and Old Lady Zhou unwrapped his swaddling, checking him over.

He was wrapped in a woman’s inner garment. As life improved, Lady Liang’s knowledge grew, and she recognized the fabric as of high quality, something not affordable for ordinary families; she suspected this garment might belong to Wufu herself.

Upon inspecting the child, his navel was clumsily tied with a strip, without proper treatment. The baby was extremely frail, yet it was evident he had long limbs, a small face still somewhat red, and once the redness faded, he might be quite a handsome child.

Xiao Qi barged in, seeing the young master with swaddling undone, he stepped forward with a watchful gaze.

"He wasn’t cleaned after birth?" Lady Liang asked him.

One can sense whether a person is benevolent or malicious, Xiao Qi felt that Lady Liang looked at him with pity and nodded.

Lady Liang, being a mother herself, her eyes reddened instantly, and she said, "What happened, how could it be like this?"

Premature birth, still not knowing where he was delivered, nor was he cleaned by them.

Xiao Qi remained silent.

"Fetch some water to clean him and then put on some clean clothes. Also, let Tantan invite Doctor Cheng." Old Lady Zhou said.

Lady Liang quickly agreed and loudly called for Tantan.

Xiao Qi stood aside, watching them rush about, his tense body gradually relaxing.

Wufu stirred awake, realizing it was late autumn and the water had cooled significantly, she quickly stood from the bath tub, putting on the clothes Sister Gui had prepared.

The wounds on her body throbbed dully; she had been applying some wild herbs haphazardly over the past few days, walking to Lady Liang’s dressing table to check the copper mirror.

The person in the mirror had a waxy, pale complexion, one she had only seen when she donated Half Body Blood for Ah Jiu years ago.

Wufu grimaced, feeling a mix of bitterness and relief, thinking it’s good to be alive.

Hearing the cry of a child, she gathered her thoughts, looking toward the sound, walking to a bedside, she saw a chubby baby crying loudly.

Could this be Lady Liang’s daughter?

Wufu picked her up, seeing the little girl’s round face and big eyes, couldn’t help but pinch her chubby cheeks, thinking how good she looked, and sighing as she thought of her own son.

The little girl was held by her, looking at her with big eyes, and giggled.

Wufu smiled as well, walked out with her in arms, only to see a senior doctor attending to her son.

"Has Yuan Yuan awoken?" Lady Liang glanced over, came forward to take her daughter, and said to Wufu, "I called a doctor and had him check you both, and I also sent for your uncle."

Wufu nodded, finger pointing at Lady Liang’s daughter, walked over, pausing when she saw the senior doctor, and softly called, "Doctor Cheng?"

Doctor Cheng looked over, observing her from head to toe, and said, "Are you Wufu, that girl?"

Wufu nodded, sat down, and asked, "How is my son?"

Doctor Cheng withdrew his hand from the little one’s pulse response, placed him back in the swaddle, and said, "A Seven Stars born before term, his life force is strong though his body is weak, but with attentive care, he will be alright, about seventy to eighty percent chance. I perceive that he is of noble appearance, blessed with good fortune. As for you..."

He took Wufu’s hand, feeling her pulse while saying, "You seem to be in worse shape than him." With that, he said no more, focusing on her pulse checking.

Both hands alternated in pulse taking, after a long while, he put them down and sighed, "For you to be alive is truly a miracle, your mother must be watching over you from the heavens!"
