Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 598

“Miss, you can’t touch them with your hands.”

“A newborn’s skin is as delicate as butterfly wings. Just a little pressure could break it and make them bleed. We have to be extra gentle and protect them, okay?”

Libby’s face turned serious right away.

But honestly, no one was paying much attention to her.

Alice bobbed her little head, all bright-eyed and eager. “I know! I know!”

The second she saw her two tiny nephews, her eyes went wide with wonder, completely captivated.

“They’re so small…”

“Mom, is this what babies really look like?”

“Did they really live inside my sister-in-law’s belly for hundreds of days?”

“That’s so amazing.”

She reached out a few times, but now that she had a little more self-control, she managed to stop herself before she touched them.

Everyone around her let out a quiet sigh of relief. Phil, though, just watched her with a tiny, proud smile.

The babies and Wiona were taken away, and Alice skipped after Annette.

“Mom,” she asked, “was it like this when you had me and my brother?”

“Wiona looks so worn out, like she’s really sick. I feel bad for her.”

Annette paused. Hearing that, she realized Alice was starting to think about what it means to give birth, to bring life into the world.

That made her happy.

“Alice, you’re starting to understand so much more. I’m really proud of you.”

“But it was different for me and Wiona. I had you and your brother one at a time.”

“And since I only had one baby at a time, nobody needed to cut me open. You came out a different way.”

“Alice, you’re smart. Does that make sense?”

Alice looked like she sort of understood, but not completely.

“So… were you as weak as my sister-in-law?”

Annette shook her head. “Surgery really takes a lot out of you. Natural birth is easier to recover from. The delivery is tough, but for you and your brother, it was all worth it.”

When Annette left, Alice still felt like she was dreaming.

She looked up at Phil. “When I have a baby, should I have surgery, or do it the way Mom did, where the baby comes out the other way?”

“Phil, tell me. Can you decide for me?”

Phil’s usually calm face almost slipped.

Libby, following behind with her cane, nearly tripped.
