Chapter 2058: Chapter 40: You’ve Suffered Enough

Ah Jiu looked at the little figure in his arms. The small child was staring at him with wide eyes, pursing his small lips, and his little brow furrowed due to discomfort from being held, making his mouth pout.

He looks like me. This is what I looked like as a child, yet those eyes resemble his mother’s more.

This is my son.

Ah Jiu inexplicably felt a sour sensation in his nose, his heart filled as if by something, a mix of emotions fermenting within him, compelling him to roar and shout.

With that thought, he thrust the child into Wufu’s arms and rushed out into the yard, shouting loudly in the open air.

Wufu was stunned.

All the subordinates were stunned.

Is His Highness going mad?

Everyone watched in amazement as the man yelled crazily in the yard, exchanging bewildered looks.

Ah Jiu shouted a few times then walked back inside, approaching Wufu.

"Crazy enough?" Wufu snorted coldly.

Ah Jiu embraced the mother and child tightly, pressing his head against her neck, saying: "Wufu, thank you, and I’m sorry."

Thank you for the hardship of birthing our son, thank you for being alive, thank you for being here.

Wufu felt a tingling in her nose and sniffed.

Upon hearing her sniff, Ah Jiu held her shoulder firmly, brushing her bones with his hand, feeling saddened by how thin she seemed.

He turned her face to examine closely—her complexion pale without much blood, cheeks sunken, and his apologetic look intensified: "You’ve suffered, you’ve lost so much weight, sorry, I didn’t know anything."

Listening to this, Wufu felt a warmth in her heart, rested her head on his shoulder, and said: "Better late than never. You’re here, and that’s enough."

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry." Ah Jiu repeatedly kissed her head.

Wufu rubbed her head against his shoulder, holding back her tears.

The two sat on the bed, leaning against one another without speaking for a while.

After a while, Ah Jiu turned his attention back to his son and said: "Wufu, the child..."

Wufu lovingly stroked the child’s face and said: "Sorry, I gave birth to a seven-month premature baby; at that time..."

She recounted all the dangers along the way, not to evoke guilt in Ah Jiu, but because she felt he should understand a woman’s hardship, her hardship.

Her narration was calm, as if she was not talking about herself but someone else’s story.

Yet, Ah Jiu listened as if waves were crashing over him, his entire body shaking.

He almost, almost lost both mother and child.

With both hands embracing Wufu and her child, Ah Jiu’s hands and voice trembled: "I’m the one who should apologize. Wufu, how is your health?"

Wufu said nothing.

How is her health? It must have suffered greatly; she is not a deity, just an ordinary mortal body, having endured battles one after another, and then giving birth under such circumstances, without adequate care after childbirth, with not even a warm soup until many days later.

She knows she is barely holding on, fighting to keep a breath, because with only Xiao Qi beside her, she dares not relax at all, fearing any sudden situation that Xiao Qi can’t handle.

Now, upon seeing him, she feels slightly relieved. If she lets this breath slip away, she doesn’t know what will happen.

Seeing her silent, Ah Jiu said no more, placing his fingers on her pulse, and felt a weak pulse under his fingers, causing his heart to sink slightly.

"Don’t worry, Xiao Bai is on the way to Lan City, you’ll get better." Ah Jiu held her hand and said: "Wufu, promise me, don’t lose hope, okay?"

Wufu pulled the corners of her mouth; having sustained herself through these days, she was indeed very tired, feeling she could hardly hold on.
