Chapter 318 Nuonuo's comforting words: Daddy, don't be afraid, I will take care of my youn
Nuonuo's chubby little hands gripped Lin Zhou's large, slightly cold hands, which were made of extreme tension, as she struggled to tilt her fair, jade-like face upwards.
Her eyes were still brimming with tears of grievance, but the resilient look that belonged to the Lin family made her display a rare maturity and extreme gentleness that transcended her physical age.
Lin Zhou's pupils, which were originally filled with ferocious red blood vessels, miraculously calmed down the moment they met his daughter's clear gaze. His reason, which was almost bursting through anxiety and rage, was actually calmed down.
The suffocating, sticky feeling caused by extreme anxiety seemed to be dispelled by the faint, comforting milky scent emanating from my daughter.
"Dad, don't frown."
Her soft voice trembled slightly, yet she tried her best to act like a capable adult.
"The teacher said that Mommy is performing a magic trick for Nuonuo. After the magic trick is over, a cute little baby will come out to play with me."
Lin Zhou squatted down, exhausted, and rested his forehead on his daughter's narrow shoulder, his voice hoarse and heartbreaking.
"Nuonuo, aren't you afraid? It's...it's very tough inside."
"I'm not afraid!"
Nuonuo shook her head vigorously and gently patted Lin Zhou's slightly messy hair with her little hand.
"Don't be afraid, Dad. Nuonuo is a big sister now. I will take care of my younger brothers and sisters."
"I washed my favorite long-eared bunny clean and put it in the little cradle."
"And all my sweet strawberry candies, I didn't eat a single one, I saved them all for Erbao."
"If he cries easily, I'll dance the circle dance that Nuonuo is best at, and he'll definitely nod happily."
As Lin Zhou listened to his daughter's innocent yet comforting and relatable descriptions of everyday life, his eyes welled up with tears.
This arrogant man, who could easily destroy a multinational conglomerate, was actually healed by the words of a five-year-old child.
At this moment, at the end of the delivery room corridor, the father and daughter sat side by side on a cold metal bench.
From behind, the two lonely yet interdependent figures, one large and one small, appear warm and comforting under the glaring incandescent light.
however.
Beyond this backdrop of extreme warmth lies a tense and austere security environment.
Every three steps down the corridor stood a Lin family assassin with bulging temples, wearing a black bulletproof vest, each of them with their hands gripping the tactical vests at their waists.
The entire floor outside the corridor had its signal transmission forcibly cut off, and the landlines that were originally used for emergency communication had their crystal connectors removed by Old Chen and his men.
This extremely tender family scene creates an absurd and stark visual contrast with the surrounding cold, military-grade defense perimeter.
"Daddy, are you hungry? Nuonuo has half a cookie here."
Nuonuo carefully took out a crumb of biscuit that had been crushed into small pieces from her pocket and solemnly held it to Lin Zhou's lips.
Lin Zhou opened his mouth and swallowed the crumbs of biscuits that still carried the warmth of his daughter's body. He felt that none of the delicacies he had ever eaten in his life could compare to the sweetness of these dry crumbs.
"Daddy isn't hungry. Nuonuo is tired, so she can lean on Daddy's lap and sleep for a while."
"No, Nuonuo wants to wait for Mommy to come out and give her a big hug."
The father and daughter waited quietly like this, and time seemed to become thick and slow at that moment.
Due to the extreme tension, Lin Zhou could even clearly hear the faint hum of the central air conditioning in the distance, as well as the slight rubbing sound of the nurses' shoes on duty outside the corridor.
One hour.
One and a half hours.
The violent anger that originally arose from anxiety gradually transformed into a sacred reverence born of anticipation.
Just as the clock in the operating room precisely struck two in the morning.
silence.
A deathly silence.
The heavy hydraulic operating door, which seemed to isolate all sounds in the world, suddenly emitted a sharp, crisp friction sound from its gaps.
Followed by.
"Wow--!"
A loud, even domineering cry violently pierced through three layers of physical soundproofing walls.
The voice was so powerful, so full of life, as if it were arrogantly proclaiming the arrival of a powerful bloodline to the whole of Los Angeles, to this cruel world.
Lin Zhou seemed to have been struck by a high-voltage electric current, and he suddenly jumped up from the bench.
Because he stood up too quickly, his knees, which had been tense for a long time, buckled violently, and he almost knelt on the ground.
"She's given birth!"
Lin Zhou's voice trembled violently as he stared intently at the slowly opening door.
"Daddy! Did Mommy win? Did Mommy win the magic trick?"
Nuonuo jumped up excitedly, clapping her little hands incessantly, her big eyes filled with extreme curiosity.
The operating room door made a low, muffled sound as the hydraulic system was unloaded.
A doctor wearing green surgical scrubs, with tired, bloodshot eyes, finally walked out with heavy steps.
Before the doctor could even speak, Lin Zhou had already rushed in front of him and grabbed his shoulders tightly with both hands.
The force was so great that the doctor's bones emitted a clear, teeth-grinding grinding sound.
"Tell me! What's going on inside?!"
In that instant, Lin Zhou's eyes regained that terrifying, godfatherly look that would make even God tremble.
The doctor's prepared, professional, and smooth opening remarks were instantly terrified and shrank back into his stomach under Lin Zhou's ferocious gaze.
He swallowed hard, his voice becoming unnatural from the shock.
"Mr. Lin...congratulations...congratulations really!"
"Thanks to her strong physical condition, the whole process went smoothly, even though she was premature."
"Mother and child are safe! They are truly safe!"
The moment Lin Zhou heard those four words, he felt as if his spine had been removed, and his body visibly went limp.
He leaned against the cold wall, his chest heaving violently, and the tears that had been welling up in his eyes for two whole hours finally burst forth and crashed onto the floor.
"It's good that you're safe...it's good that you're safe."
He murmured to himself, the cold-blooded thought process that had arisen from extreme danger completely collapsing in that instant.
"Doctor, may I go in and see my mother?"
Nuonuo anxiously tugged at the doctor's clothes, her little face flushed with excitement.
The doctor gave a kind smile, bent down, and spoke gently.
"Little princess, the nurse will be bringing your little brother and little mommy out soon."
"Little brother?"
Lin Zhou suddenly raised his head, a look of astonished, extreme ecstasy flashing in his eyes.
"Is it a son?"
"He's a healthy and handsome little boy, but his crying was so loud it almost gave me tinnitus."
Lin Zhou burst into laughter, his arrogant, exhilarating laughter, born of a great sense of relief, echoing through the quiet corridor.
"Honey, you really... really gave me an outrageous surprise."
While wiping away her tears, Lin Zhou waved decisively to someone behind her.
"Old Chen! Tell those bastards outside to give them a good reward! Give them all a hefty reward!"
"The Lin family's young master has been born! I'm going to make tomorrow's Los Angeles newspapers all red!"
Old Chen was already in tears, and he deftly pressed the button on the walkie-talkie.
"Did you hear that? Mother and child are safe! The Lin family has an heir!"
Amidst this atmosphere of frenzied joy, the operating room trolley finally broke the silence.
Lin Zhou held his breath, his eyes fixed on the familiar yet pale face on the stroller.
"Qingge, you've worked hard."
"Lin Zhou...the baby hasn't...hasn't been named yet."
