Chapter 237


    Chapter 237 Rowan


    Her tears fell on Christopher’s fingertips, and the wet and warm feeling spread from his fingertips to his


    heart. Christopher’s heart trembled violently at that moment, and an endless soreness spread from his


    chest to his limbs, making him almost unable to breathe.


    Christopher took Yuliana’s hand in his and pressed it to his lips. He was silent for a long time.


    He lowered his head slightly, his thin eyelids covering his eyes. “I’m sorry, Ana.”


    Yuliana couldn’t see the emotions in his eyes, but she could hear his voice tremble and choke.


    Christopher had already apologized to her the night before.


    She knew she couldn’t me him. No one had expected that to happen, but when she was at her most


    desperate and fearful, she had hoped for Christopher to appear in front of her immediately.


    “I don’t me you.” Yuliana smiled faintly. “I’m just a little… sad.”


    There were other emotions that she couldn’t tell him.


    She couldn’t bear to pressure Christopher with those emotions after she had seen him like that. It


    would only make him feel more terrible.


    “Christopher, if this happens again in the future, you must rush to my side as soon as possible, okay?”


    she said softly after a while.


    Christopher felt as if someone was squeezing and tearing at his heart when he heard that. There was a


    dull breath stuck in his chest, and he said softly, “No, it will not happen again. I will never leave you


    alone again.” Yuliana smiled at him and extended her pinky. “You must follow through on your promise.”


    “What are you doing?” Christopher was taken aback by her actions.


    Yuliana raised her eyebrows and said, “It’s a pinky promise! Don’t you understand what this action


    means?”


    Of course, Christopher understood what it meant, but Yuliana’s childish behavior made him seem


    imusible.


    Heughed and stretched out his pinky to hook with hers. “I will keep my word.”


    Yuliana’s smile broadened as she looked at him. She didn’t let go of his hand. Instead, she sped his


    fingers tightly as if she didn’t want to separate from him even for a moment.


    Christopher also looked at her.


    Her face was still a little swollen, and the marks left by someone else’s fingers became more and more


    apparent after the night. Christopher reached out his hand and stroked it gently. Imagining the scene at


    that time, half of his heart ached, and the other half was wrapped in violent emotions.


    “Does it hurt?” he inquired solemnly.


    Yuliana shook her head gently. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”


    Christopher pursed his thin lips lightly and remained silent, but his dark eyes could make people


    nervous.


    Yuliana didn’t want to see him in that state, so she quickly changed the subject and asked, “Have you


    seen him?”


    Christopher immediately understood who she was referring to, and the expression on his face softened


    visibly. “I’ve seen him. He loves to sleep. I went to see him in the morning, and he was sleeping. I went


    back in the afternoon, and he was still sleeping. Then, I went to see him just now, yet he was still


    sleeping.”


    Yuliana couldn’t help butugh as she imagined the child sleeping in the incubator with Christopher


    staring pitifully at him on the side.


    The image was very gentle.


    Yuliana said, “Newborn babies sleep for a long time. They’ll be sleeping except for when they eat.”


    She had read all of that in books before. A newborn baby would sleep for nearly 20 hours a day.


    Yuliana’s heart softened when she thought about the child. She asked, “Does he look more like you or


    me?” Christopher did not immediately answer her question. He appeared to be conflicted. He frowned


    after a few seconds and said, “I don’t think he resembles any of us. He’s just a pink blob of meat right


    now. To be honest,


    he’s not particrly good-looking.”


    Yuliana expressed her displeasure and retorted, “He’s simply too young and hasn’t grown up yet. He


    should look better in a few months as he grows.”


    She didn’t consider herself ugly, and her facial features were quite attractive. Besides, no matter how


    ugly she was, the baby had Christopher’s genes, so he wouldn’t turn out all that bad either.


    Christopher suddenly said, “Ana, what name would you like to give him?”


    The original due date was at the end of May, but it arrived more than two months ahead of schedule.


    Christopher and Yuliana had not yet given him a name yet. He had been thinking about what to name


    the child when he visited him that day.


    Yuliana had considered a few names when she had been free, but she then felt that they were


    inappropriate. That was probably how a mother would feel. Mothers always believed that their children


    deserved the best.


    She asked, “Who was the one that named your brothers and sisters?”


    “La was named by Mom, and my brother and I were named by Dad.” Christopher’s brows twitched


    imperceptibly when he mentioned Zachary. He said quietly, “If Dad were still conscious, we could’ve


    asked him to name his grandson.”


    Yuliana thought about it once more, but she couldn’te up with a suitable name at that moment.


    When Christopher saw Yuliana’s thoughtful expression, his heart skipped a beat. A name shed


    through his mind, and he said, “How about ‘Roe’?”


    Yuliana was taken aback. “Huh?”


    Christopher continued, “His nickname will be ‘Roe,’ and his full name will be ‘Rowan.”


    Yuliana couldn’t help butugh after she had listened to his exnation. “Does the Sce family run a


    zoo?”


    Christopher hummed lightly. “Isn’t a zoo great? Wouldn’t the big house be livelier if we were to raise a


    few animals?”


    Yuliana furrowed her brows and red at him, “How dare you think of your son as an animal?”


    “I’m kidding.” Christopher narrowed his eyes and gave her a strangely gentle look. “You gave birth to


    our son with all your might. I can’t tell you how much I adore him!”


    Yulianaughed. “It sounds good when you say it now. I hope you’ll remember what you said today


    when your son grows up and bes disobedient.”


    Christopher thought about the scene in detail and said, “So be it if he’s disobedient. Even if he makes a


    hole in the sky, I’ll cover it up.”


    Kendrick, Joyce, and La all rushed to the hospital when they learned that Yuliana was awake.


    Jared was invited to Jeahron recently and would be back in a few days.


    Giving birth to a child used to be dangerous for a woman. Even with medical advancements, it was still


    an extremely exhausting situation, especially since Yuliana had given birth to a child under those


    circumstancesst night.


    Her body was still very weak after sleeping all day. She felt like a porcin doll that had been broken


    and reassembled. The sight of her made their heart ache.

    La stated, “You need to pay more attention these days, Yuliana. Having a child is a big deal for


    women. You must take proper care of yourself. Don’t think about other things too much.”


    Yuliana nodded. “La, I haven’t thanked you yet.”


    La patted the back of her hand “We’re a family, so there’s no need for that.”


    Then, La and Joyce reminded her of the precautions during the confinement.


    Kendrick expressed his concern and invited Christopher outside to talk.


    Kendrick said, “You should stay in Juxshire and take good care of Yuliana for a while. Regarding the


    matters in Romdale, I’ll let La handle it.”


    Christopher’s brows twitched slightly. “Since La can handle it, why did you let me take care of


    Romdale back then?”
