Chapter 2077: You Only Have Me

"Waa waa waa," the loud cries of a baby echoed through the operating room.

The sound awakened Juanita's groggy consciousness on the operating table. It was the baby's cry; she heard it, and knowing the baby was safe, her tense body suddenly relaxed.

A nurse came over holding the baby. "Congratulations, it's a girl."

"She's really beautiful."

Juanita forced a smile, the anesthesia making her mind unclear and her vision blurry. She struggled to open her eyes and looked at the baby in the nurse's arms. The small, soft body was red and wrinkled, with eyes tightly shut and a tiny mouth open as if searching for something. She glanced at the baby, wondering how anyone could see beauty in this.

At that moment, the surgeon approached and said to Juanita, "The baby girl is premature and needs to stay in an incubator for a while. She can be discharged when she reaches full term."

Juanita nodded.

The nurse then took the baby away.

Shortly after, two other nurses wheeled Juanita out of the operating room and into a VIP intensive care unit.

As soon as the door opened, Juanita saw Karl standing in the room, waiting anxiously.

Hearing the noise behind him, Karl immediately turned around. Seeing that Juanita was safe, his eyes lit up with relief.

The nurse smiled and said, "Congratulations, mother and daughter are both safe. However, the baby girl is premature and needs to be observed in an incubator for a while. You can see her later."

Karl rushed to Juanita's bedside and held her hand. "I'm so glad you're okay. Our daughter is fine too."

Juanita's mind was foggy. How could she be seeing Karl again? It must be an illusion.
