Chapter 5.5 – Hello, Daughter

After cradling my daughter for awhile, she falls asleep. She has a cute expression on her face.

I am glad that she seems to be alright.

Maybe it was only my feeling, but just now, I felt like she tried to tell me that she was already full. Hmm, must be my motherly intuition.

Or have I gone into the doting mother type now, for considering my child to be cleverly talented from the beginning?

Oh come on, me, she is barely a few days old.

 

Today is the first time I can cradle her again in my arms.

A few days ago, I only managed to hold her for awhile, before she got taken into the intensive care unit. For she was not yet stable.

I spent a few days recovering from giving birth to her… and during that time, I never missed a single day to pray for her safety.

 

I was so excited when the nurse came in earlier. I could not even keep my mind straight–I only had one thing in my mind : my newly-born daughter. I would be glad if I have the chance to apologize to the nurse who came in today… If memory serves me right, I replied her in an unfriendly way, so…

After my distraught and unfriendly reply to the nurse, she handed my baby over to me.

Dear Readers. Scrapers have recently been devasting our views. At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might...let's just hope it doesn't come to that. If you are reading on a scraper site. Please don't.

 

The moment I held her, I saw her innocent face, looking at me.

Ugh. I feel… guilty.

“Sorry,” I murmured.

Sorry for giving birth to you prematurely. I must have paid more attention and care during my pregnancy.

Sorry for not being there for you during your first few days of life.

I hope you did not feel lonely. For I will be there from now on, guiding you, my beloved daughter.

 

[ Rihtes h¯ælu onbescêawung (Detailed health examination) ] I cast a magic spell while she is asleep.

After all, I cannot help but to be worried.

Hmm…

Alright, she seems to be all healthy and well. I am so relieved that her premature birth didn’t affect her health in the long run.

 

“I hope you will like your home, Lyra.”

Aah, I want that person to quickly take a look at her. To know how lovely she is. She takes after that person a lot.

Fufu, I smile at those thoughts.
