The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 708
Madelyn responded, “Okay, thank you.” Madelyn was a little sad when she looked at the child with tubes inserted into his body. He was all red.
A nurse placed the child on the bed. But after a short while, the baby woke up and cried loudly with his eyes closed.
The nurse panicked for a moment. The child had an IV on his head. But now that he was crying, the blood began to flow backward.
The nurse looked at Madelyn, “Miss, the baby might be hungry. Do you have a breast pump? You can pump some breast milk into a cup and feed the baby. Madelyn was overwhelmed, “I’m sorry, I’m not the baby’s mother. But I do have infant formula.”
The nurse responded, “The baby is very weak. I’d recommend breastfeeding if possible. If not, you can prepare some formula now.” Madelyn replied, “Okay, I’ll go do that now.”
Madelyn hurriedly grabbed some formula and a bottle. A few minutes later, she took the milk bottle and walked over to the nurse, “Is this okay? The nurse checked the milk bottle’s temperature and said, “Yes, it’s just right. You can feed him this.”
Madelyn gently brushed aside a strand of loose hair that had fallen near her ear and held the bottle near the baby’s mouth. He started sucking and, very quickly, stopped crying.
The nurse complimented, “You seem new to this. But you prepared the formula just right, even though I didn’t tell you the measurements. You must’ve done your homework.
“Miss, you’ll surely be a good mother in the future.”
Madelyn’s hand that was holding the bottle stiffened for a moment. She then quickly came back to her senses. She responded with a faint smile, “Thank you…”
The nurse observing the baby left to prepare some medical equipment. Madelyn sat by the bed and stared at the child. She felt as if her entire heart had melted.
When she gently wiped away the tears on the baby’s face, he suddenly opened his big, round eyes. Madelyn panicked for a moment. She noticed the baby was about to start crying again. But when the child saw Madelyn, he suddenly did not want to cry anymore. He stared at her as he sucked on the bottle. He suddenly opened his mouth and smiled joyfully.
All the milk he had in his mouth was
spat out and remained on his body. Madelyn quickly removed the bottle and used a tissue to wipe him clean. Her voice was exceptionally tender as she said, “Baby, you must eat well to grow up, okay?”
“Ah.” The baby seemed to understand what Madelyn said and happily let out a laugh. She glanced at the IV on his head and said, “You mustn’t move around. You might dislodge the IV.”
“Oh,” the baby made a sound.
“Do you still want to drink the milk?” Madelyn placed the bottle near his mouth, and he started drinking it. He was looking sideways at her the whole time.
She thought, ‘This kid looks weak and a little malnourished. It’s such a pity that a child so young has been abandoned by his parents.’
At this moment, Madelyn exuded a strong maternal vibe. She gently said, ” How about I name you ‘Dal,’ short for ‘ Dalton’?”
Madelyn had chosen this name a long time ago.
