"Doctor, she cleared her throat. Is she about to cough? Please take a look."

Postpartum women who have undergone a cesarean section should not cough, as it can easily lead to amniotic fluid embolism.

Doctor: "No, sir, you're too nervous. Your wife just wants to talk. Please come closer."

Ye Yu leaned close to Jin Zhi's mouth and weakly asked, "Ye Yu, did you die in the end...? We all died?"

"No, we're all alive. Live well. We have a daughter now. Don't be afraid, I'm always here for you."

The hand felt warm to the touch, but Jinzhi was overcome with grief.

"……real?"

Ye Yu took her hand and pressed it against his warm cheek.

"Really, I'm here."

Jinzhi let out a soft breath.

"That's good. We're all fine now. Everything has changed."

Not long after arriving at the special care ward, Jinzhi fell asleep again before she even had a chance to see her child.

The saying "money makes the world go round" is true.

Jinzhi used the latest imported medication, which was completely painless. Even after anesthesia, she didn't feel much pain.

The doctor who performed the surgery on her was one of the most authoritative experts in the country, who had performed thousands of surgeries and used the method with the smallest possible incision and the lowest risk.

Even if she were awake, she wouldn't be able to see the babies. The older sister weighed less than four pounds and was sent to an incubator, while the younger sister was taken for a checkup.

All you could see was Ye Yu with red eyes, who stayed by your side even when you were asleep.

Not long after, Wen Manchun came in carrying her younger sister.

"Xiao Yu, look at your daughter."

This was Ye Yu's first time seeing a child.

It was a tiny little thing with red, wrinkled skin and squinted eyes—it was incredibly cute.

He reached out and touched the baby's finger.

The baby was squinting, yet he accurately grasped his index finger.

Soft and warm, Ye Yu's heart fluttered.

This is his and Jinzhi's child.

"Baby likes you very much."

"How long will you be staying, sister?"

"He's fine physically, just too young. He'll be out in a week. Your dad and the others are watching over him. They even brought a chair to stand guard at the door, just in case someone tries to steal him."

Jinzhi woke up in the afternoon and saw Ye Yu guarding her bedside as soon as she opened her eyes. Sadness welled up in her heart.

"Ye Yu, you're not dead."

"What do you mean by dead or alive? We're all fine, so stop talking such discouraging things."

Jinzhi touched his face.

"Yes, we're all fine now."

But why did Ye Yu commit suicide at the end of the original story?

Shouldn't he, as the male lead, be happily together with the female lead, Zhao Xijin?

Where exactly did things go wrong?

"Get away from me."

Zhao Xijin pushed past Ye Yu and stepped forward.

"Sister Zhizhi, don't pay attention to Ye Yu. It's all his fault for making you pregnant and going through a near-death experience. Men are all the same."

The last bit of sadness in Jinzhi's heart disappeared.

"It's not his fault, I got pregnant because I was with him."

Ye Yu stepped forward again.

"Does it hurt? Do you want some water?"

"It hurts a little."

"Don't move, I'll feed you."

Jinzhi felt better after drinking water.

"It doesn't hurt if I don't move."

"Thank you, baby. You've worked so hard and been so brave. Would you like to see the baby?"

"Um."

The nurse brought over the younger sister, saying, "The older sister is a bit small and will need to stay in the incubator for a few days, but she's fine."

Jinzhi asked with some concern, "How long will you be staying?"

"One week, don't worry, it's just a little small, everything else is fine."

The nurse placed her younger sister next to her.

Jinzhi carefully touched the baby's face, but the baby's fingers gripped her tightly.

"She's so well-behaved."

Ye Yu said softly, "Yes, she knows it's her mother."

Just then, Zhou Yinche came in: "Jin Xiaozhi, it's snowing outside. It's the first snow of the year, and you've caught it. That's a really nice sign."

"Have you thought of nicknames for my goddaughters yet?"

Jinzhi thought about it for a long time.

"A timely snow promises a bumper harvest, so let's call it Rui Rui and Zhao Zhao."

"Great! My two goddaughters will surely enjoy good health, wealth, and a bright future!"

After she regained consciousness, many people came to see her, and the small living room was piled high with gifts.

Ji Jinliang arrived when there were fewer people around in the evening.

He was wearing a black overcoat; though middle-aged, he was still handsome.

"How are you feeling?"

Jinzhi sat up a little. "I'm fine. Thank you for bringing the doctor."

Ji Jinliang sat on a soft chair to the side.

"Of course."

He handed Jinzhi a red box.

"This is something your mother had when she was young. It's not very valuable, but it has sentimental and heirloom value. Keep it."

When the gold branch is opened, it reveals a pair of carved silver bracelets, perfect for children to wear.

There are also three matching longevity locks, and the gold and jade on them are of very good quality.

"This was custom-made for you and the child. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse."

"Thank you on behalf of the two children."

The ward was quiet for a moment.

"The biggest regret of my life is that I didn't spend my whole life with your mother and couldn't have a complete and healthy family with her. I'm sorry to her. It's easy to form a family, but it's not easy to keep it."

"Don't think about it too much, it's all in the past, just live in the present."

"Yes, live in the moment."

Not long after, the sound of a baby crying came from the crib next to them.

Jinzhi was unable to get out of bed, so Ji Jinliang went over, skillfully picked up the child, and checked the diaper.

"They're probably hungry."

Jinzhi didn't intend to breastfeed, so she pressed the call button.

The nurse entered the room.

Ji Jinliang carefully handed the child over, taking one last look at the little guy.

"You're a lot like me."

"You are very skilled at taking care of children."

"I often took care of your older brother when you were little."

"So you're still a good father."

"I'm not a good father to you."

"I had a good childhood, so you don't need to blame yourself. There's a destiny at play."

The two didn't have much to say to each other.

"I'm relieved to see you're safe and sound. You'll be flying back to Beijing tomorrow."

He stood up and handed her a black box. "Keep this too. I don't have anything else to give you."

The golden branch opened, "What...?"

Once she could see what was inside, she immediately closed the box.

"Old Deng, are you crazy? Giving me this thing? Is it for real?"

"It's true, girls are naturally at a disadvantage in physical combat, but they can save their lives in critical moments. Don't tell anyone."

"This was left to me by your grandfather. Even if someone sees it and notices the markings on it, no one will do anything to you; they will only respect you."

Jinzhi felt that the truth in the box was burning hot.

Are the Ji family really that unconventional?

"I'm leaving."

As he reached the door, he whispered, "Would you call me...Father?"

Jinzhi moved her lips, but the words that came out were: "Have a safe journey, take care of yourself, and I'd like to invite you to my child's one-month celebration."

Ji Jinliang looked at her face and said, "Okay, take good care of yourself. If you have any difficulties, tell your brother."

The closed hospital room door blocked their view.

Jinzhi placed the box in a hidden place.

Jinzhi was discharged from the hospital the day her older sister was taken out of the incubator.

The sky cleared up, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

Ye Yu carried Jinzhi, who was wrapped tightly in a cashmere coat, down the elevator.

Only then did I muster the courage to ask her, "Who was the person you said you liked the most before you went into the operating room?"
