The little one in the nurse's arms is all red, with a tiny nose, eyes, and mouth, but that smiling mouth is open, crying loudly with great energy just after being born. The nurse says, "Listen to this cry, so loud. He's a very healthy, energetic little fellow."
Kang Chen finally holds the tiny bundle in his palm; he is so small that Kang Chen doesn't know how to hold him, cradling him carefully.
Kang Chen's heart is bursting with something that's about to overflow, and his eyes can't help but moisten. He looks down at Ming Mei and says, "Honey, look, this is our son."
But Ming Mei has already fainted from exhaustion.
The nurse says, "Madam is too tired; she'll wake up soon. This little one is crying so fiercely; he must be hungry. We'll feed him when Madam wakes up."
Kang Chen nods repeatedly.
