Chapter 14
After all the poor can not pull money from their teeth, it is really a sad life, In my last life I made so much money and had so many treasures, was so famous that several of my books were adapted into films and series, and investing in them allowed me to have a gorgeous pay out when they ranked both locally and worldwide. I had so much money that living alone was easy along with the casual skills I had picked up and the money my mother had left to me along with connections I had earned almost fifty years of my life alive back then since I only appeared when I was sixteen and died at sixty-three. I even had a private jet and a villa in the south of France.
Sigh, now this and so old but a poor man only able to rely on measure favours.
Even though I had inherited the memory merging it was still a bit of a process, so some things are not accurate, so i must still wait in case I slipped up later. There were gaps and inconsistencies, like trying to piece together a puzzle with missing pieces.
Regardless I went with the notion of talking less and allowing the doctor and nurses to do what they should.
Any way the body is still exhausted and will take a little time for me to heal. I could feel the lingering ache in my muscles and the heaviness in my chest.
“We have prepared your meal, Miss Mi, will you be eating it now?” Nurse Lu asked, gently pushing a rolling tray towards me. Looking at the side there was probably a small soup in a ceramic bowl and some other side dishes and at least two meats, enough for my body to continue producing enough nutrition for both myself and the little thing I had not too long pushed out. I felt my mouth water and my stomach protest. To keep with the character of a young lady who was weak but trying to be strong I nodded towards her.
I had learned from my first life after I had tried to break character outright, everything now has to be subtle. I can’t just start acting like a modern woman in this traditional setting without raising suspicion.
“Miss Mi, please,” The tray was pushed and uncovered showing me the wonderful meal for me to view. The aroma of ginger and chicken broth wafted up, making my stomach rumble even louder. “Will you be breastfeeding the baby Miss Mi?” The doctor suddenly asked appearing before me, I thought for a while thinking of the parasite I had no attachment to and wanted to shake my head but I changed my mind not long later, “I will,” it will be an experience and getting to know the little thing that I will raise until it is an adult. “By the way the baby is a boy, have you decided on what you wish to call him?”
“No, I will wait for his full moon to decide, regardless, he will carry the surname Mi so for now just call him young master Mi,” I said regardless of how those around me will react. This was a non-negotiable point.
“Ok, before you eat let me check your blood pressure quickly, before it was higher than normal.” I nodded to the doctor relaxing with my eyes closed once again to allow her to do her job. A few minutes passed with positive results and the baby was brought over, swaddled in a soft white blanket. I found myself looking at it frowning slightly at the thought of my things being touched by others but kept my face neutral resisting the urge to reach forward and snatch it from the arms of the doctor. “Miss Mi, hold out your hands slightly bent at the elbow…yes…now keep your hands steady, curve the right side and bring the young master close to you. “ I did as she said looking down at the still ugly thing, it was not as red as before and slightly wrinkled but it still was ugly in my eyes. “Wait, let me expose and clean one of your breasts so the young master can latch on to it to suckle.” I froze quite stunned, but did not resist, this is a process that I will eventually have to earn anyway. Nurse Qi gently helped me adjust my gown and positioned the baby against my breast.
Once all of the tedious process was over I found myself looking down at the tiny thing in my arms suckling on me, he suddenly seemed not too ugly, his hair was full but not exactly thick but it was enough to cover his entire head. This life will be interesting, but the father I could not remember is extremely worrying. I need to find out who he is and what kind of trouble he represents.
In my previous life, I wanted children with the man of my dreams but because of betrayal, yeah it will never happen. Now, I gave birth without remembering doing the deed furthermore who the father was. It felt like a cruel joke.
With some encouraging words from the doctor, I continued to focus on the child in my arms touching its soft head and thinking of what I should do next.
I remember that this female has nothing much, but remembering that I could be called an all-rounder in my last life, I should be able to survive in this world especially since I was the one who created it. I have knowledge of everything from literature to martial arts, even a basic understanding of medicine and engineering.
There will be sudden plotholes.
Even though this book stretched to about when this original owner was about forty a lot of things happened in between ok. There were major plot arcs involving rival families, political intrigue, and even a supernatural element or two.
While watching him and feeling suddenly maternal, I whispered a name that suddenly came to mind. Though he was a villain who had never seen the light of day, I still felt attached to him and wanted to write an anti-hero book about him in the future but thinking about his name ‘Tian Kuo’ will suit this child, for now, I just want to help him cover the ‘vast sky’, letting those who dared to trample on our family and our dignity must bow down. It was a strong and ambitious name, perfect for someone who would eventually become a powerful figure.
“Baby, mother will help you bring out your full potential, as her son,” I whispered to him softly, after all I gave birth and he is mine, I should stop calling him a parasite.
