CHAPTER 482: CHAPTER 439: WALKED OUT ON HER OWN...

As the doors of the operating room opened, a small baby stroller was immediately pushed out, appearing before everyone’s eyes.

However, this did not shock them. It was just a very ordinary thing.

Needless to say, they knew it must be their baby coming out.

What everyone was extremely surprised by, however, was that this small stroller at this moment was neither being pushed by a nurse nor by Lin Yi.

Instead, the person pushing this small stroller was actually Xiao Zihan!!

That’s right, the person was none other than Xiao Zihan who should have also been lying on a bed and pushed out by someone else.

At this moment, she was wearing a hospital gown, with a kind smile on her face, pushing the small stroller with one hand, while being embraced by Lin Yi with the other.

This appearance in front of everyone left those waiting outside momentarily stunned.

Fortunately, everyone quickly reacted and promptly walked over, with Empress Dowager Ye supporting Grandma Xiao.

"Zihan, how can you stand up? You should lie down on the bed!"

Coming forward, Empress Dowager Ye spoke eagerly, simultaneously pointing heavily at her son and saying with a hint of displeasure:

"You went along to take care of Zihan, is this how you take care of her?

Don’t you know how hard it was for Zihan to give birth? Is she really supposed to be standing now? Why are you looking at me? Go and find a hospital bed!"

Facing his mother’s scolding, Lin Yi helplessly spread his hands and then spoke with a rather aggrieved tone:

"I wanted to, but Zihan insisted. We all wanted her to lie on the bed, but she kept saying she was fine..."

However, upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Empress Dowager Ye shot him another glance.

How can you say that nothing is wrong and then it’s really nothing?

Don’t you think a bit? After what just happened, that kind of pain down there isn’t something an ordinary person can endure.

Never mind getting out of bed and walking now, even after going back, she’ll need at least a day or two to recover from the pain.

At this moment, everyone refrained from saying more to Lin Yi, as Lin Jianguo had already run over to find a hospital bed and brought it back.

Seeing this scene, everyone nodded in approval, especially Empress Dowager Ye who was quite satisfied with her husband’s response.

Although Grandma Xiao had been silent all along, her eyes were full of concern for Xiao Zihan.

However, facing everyone’s scolding of Lin Yi, Xiao Zihan smiled and spoke:

"It’s indeed not Lin Yi’s fault, both he and the doctor wanted me to lie on bed, but I feel no different than before, and it seems my body is even lighter than when I was pregnant. Plus, I’ve been lying down for the past few days, so I wanted to move around..."

Nevertheless, at this moment, Empress Dowager Ye would not hear of it.

She hurried over to help Xiao Zihan onto the bed before speaking with a wry smile:

"Silly girl, you may feel fine now, but you can’t be careless.

You’ll understand when you get older; remember to be extra careful this coming month."

Thus, amidst the chatter, Xiao Zihan obediently lay on the hospital bed.

Seeing Lin Yi being scolded all the while, Xiao Zihan gave him an apologetic, helpless smile.

It was clear she hadn’t expected Lin Yi to catch scolding because of this.

She couldn’t help but blame herself for not considering everything.

After leaving the operating room, everyone accompanied the mother and child quickly to the ward.

Once Xiao Zihan was settled, everyone gathered around the little baby.

Though Empress Dowager Ye was eager to see her precious granddaughter, she still supported Grandma Xiao for the first look.

The elderly lady looked at the little baby sleeping soundly in the small crib, her face breaking into a joyful smile.

She reached out to touch the baby but pulled back, fearing she might wake her, content to watch peacefully.

Beside her, Empress Dowager Ye and Lin Jianguo stared excitedly at the crib.

As for Lin Yi, though he longed to spend a moment with his lovely daughter,

he looked at everyone around the crib, shook his head, and shelved the idea.

Though Xiao Zihan seemed well, they needed to remain cautious about her diet and rest.

Consequently, Lin Yi was using cotton swabs dampened with water on her lips to quench her thirst.

Xiao Zihan felt immensely grateful for his tender care.

Just then, a loud cry pierced the room.

Instantly, the calm room became bustling with activity.

Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan both turned towards the stroller to see the little one crying loudly.

The sudden cry startled everyone around the stroller, who hurriedly tried to soothe the baby.

No matter what Grandma Xiao, Empress Dowager Ye, or Lin Jianguo tried, they couldn’t calm the baby.

Meanwhile, everyone became frantic.

"Ahem. Let me try."

As everyone was worried, Lin Yi coughed and stepped forward.

Yet, upon seeing Lin Yi, Empress Dowager Ye glared at him:

"Go, go, don’t interfere. What do you know about calming babies? Ooh, sweet granddaughter, stop crying, let grandma hold you."

As she chided her son, she warmly turned to coax the crying little one.

Even as Empress Dowager Ye gently cradled the baby, the crying persisted.

Not only she, but even Grandma Xiao took the baby in her arms, yet without success.

In Grandma Xiao’s arms, the baby continued to cry, reaching towards Lin Yi with tiny limbs.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Lin Yi, who, undeterred, stepped forward to hold the baby.

Strangely enough, the baby stopped crying once in Lin Yi’s arms.
