Chapter 2452: Still, Only the Real Father Feels Close
It’s really strange sometimes; there seems to be an indescribable connection between blood relatives.
Once the baby was in his arms, close to him, it gradually ceased crying and quieted down.
The other one in Li Hui’s arms was still crying out loud, like a little puppy.
Seeing this, Li Hui immediately walked over and handed the child in her arms to Di Mingchen, choking up as she said, "Mingchen, there’s another one here. Look, this one looks so much like Xiaoran, with beautiful single eyelids like hers."
Hearing this, Di Mingchen’s tears instantly burst out, falling heavily on the face of the child in his arms.
He looked up, his eyes filled with a deep red, staring intently at the child in Li Hui’s arms.
That look pained his heart even more.
Indeed, this child was especially like Nangong Ran, with single eyelids, but big eyes, a little nose, and a small mouth, giving a playful and lively impression, really familiar.
"Do you want to hold it?" Li Hui asked again.
"Yes." Di Mingchen nodded.
Li Hui hurriedly handed the child over.
The babies were small, and with Di Mingchen’s tall stature, holding one in each arm was no problem.
Both children lay in the crook of his arms.
One had already stopped crying, just quietly looking around with big eyes, while the other kept crying loudly.
To say he wasn’t heartbroken would be a lie.
"There, there, don’t cry." Di Mingchen finally spoke softly in comfort, also kissing his face.
Yet, the child wouldn’t be pacified, continuing to cry with a pout, as if complaining about the delayed comfort.
The way he scrunched up his brow, which resembled Nangong Ran’s single eyelid, pained Di Mingchen’s heart again, prompting him to kiss the child a few more times.
Only then did the child gradually stop crying, closing his eyes as if asleep. Yet even with closed eyes, the child let out a reluctant handful of lazy cries, before finally quieting down.
Everyone standing nearby was in tears.
Fang Hao wiped away his tears, finally revealing a slight, grateful smile and said emotionally, "That’s why they say children are closest to their fathers, not to grandparents."
Li Hui nodded in agreement with Fang Hao’s words, but her heart remained in a state of anxiety, wondering about her little Xiaoran’s condition.
Why hadn’t she come out yet?
Li Hui anxiously turned her head towards the operation room; the light was still on.
Her heart was filled with countless chaotic thoughts, contemplating the misfortune her daughter faced in trying to give her husband a child.
Now the father and sons were safe, but what about her daughter, still battling death in the operation room, her condition unknown?
Thinking of this brought tears to Li Hui’s eyes, her emotions overtaking her as she rushed to the operation room door, clutching it tightly, "Why isn’t my Xiaoran coming out?"
Nangong Tiancheng rushed forward to support her grieving form.
Nangong Lin, Nangong Jin, and Nangong Yue also hurried forward.
Nangong Lin, already in tears, embraced Li Hui, crying out, "Mom, mom, don’t worry, it’ll be soon, Xiaoran will come out safe, for sure!"
"What did I do to deserve this?" Li Hui couldn’t help the breakdown, sobbing uncontrollably in Nangong Lin’s arms.
"Mom, don’t be like this." Nangong Lin cried as well.
