Chapter 486: Chapter 480: Ugly Child Chapter 486: Chapter 480: Ugly Child As a couple, they had raised Lin Yile with much effort.
Lin Yile was a late bloomer, only experiencing her first menstruation at sixteen, nearly leading them to fear that she might forever remain childless.
For their daughter, Lin’s parents had practically broken their hearts.
Now that such an event had occurred to Lin Yile, how could her mother not be aching for her?
But as for her father...
“There must be a way,” Lin’s mother didn’t know how to break the news to her husband.
He had already reached a high status, and Lin Yile had always been his pride since she got into university.
...
The fortune-teller predicted that Lin Yile would be his lucky star, even though she was a girl.
Nonetheless, her father raised her as he would a son, and Lin Yile didn’t disappoint him.
She got into Qing University, appeared on television.
Her achievements had indeed contributed to his rise in status.
But then, Lin Yile shocked them with her unexpected pregnancy before marriage.
Worst was when he got to know about it, she had already given birth to a granddaughter.
To him, this was nearly an unbearable humiliation.
Lin’s mother sighed, not knowing what to say, “Let’s keep this from him for now, for as long as we can.
When we get back to Qing’an, I’ll find a place to settle Lele first and tell him when he finds out eventually.”
“Why not at my place?” Tang Yuxin suggested after some thought.
“Second Aunt loves children and she doesn’t have much to do at home currently.
Chengcheng’s attending preschool and Sisi is a high school student, with her free time, she can take care of the child.”
“I’ll think about it,” Lin’s mother agreed reluctantly.
“But I don’t want to impose upon her.
Forget it, let’s not rush into things and decide after the baby is born.”
Inside, Lin Yile covered her mouth, tears rolling down her cheeks.
For the first time, she felt her decision had been utterly selfish.
She thought of herself but forgot about her parents.
She forgot her mother’s love, and her father’s current status.
She never thought about the consequences her unwed pregnancy would bring to her family.
As she gently caressed her stomach, she quietly climbed into bed and slept.
Lin’s mother waited outside, anxious.
At twenty, Lin Yile had no experience with pregnancy or childbirth.
She had been clueless and inconsistent in her feeding patterns through her pregnancy, and her mother worried about potential risks to her child at birth.
About an hour later, the door to the delivery room finally opened.
A nurse walked out, cradling a baby in her arms.
“Lin Yile, where is Lin Yile’s family?”
The nurse called out to the waiting relatives.
Lin’s mother hastened over, the nurse handed over her granddaughter, a small bundle weighing just under four pounds who would need to be kept in an incubator for a while.

“And what about my daughter?” Lin’s mother asked tentatively, fearing complications with Lin Yile.
“Rest assured, she’s fine,” The nurse assured Lin’s mother.
“She gave birth smoothly.
The child, being small, made the birthing process relatively easy and hence has caused minimal harm.
If all goes well, she can be discharged soon.”
The child, however, may have to remain in the incubator for a few more days.
Upon hearing the nurses’ words, Lin’s mother finally relaxed.
But until now, she hadn’t had a good look at her granddaughter’s face.
The baby was immediately taken to an incubator after birth, where she remains.
But the nurse said that even though the baby is small, she is developing well and isn’t experiencing any significant problems.
As soon as she gains a suitable weight, she can come home.
Lin Yile recovered quickly and was discharged on the same day.
She went to see her daughter, but...
Upon seeing the red, bald baby in the incubator, she felt like crying.
“Mom, did I really give birth to this?”
“Yes, indeed,” Lin’s mother answered confidently, reminiscing on the resemblance between her newborn granddaughter and Lele’s infant form.
“One could tell she’s going to be a beauty.”
“But mom, why is she so ugly?” Lin Yile wanted to burst into tears as she looked at her wrinkly, unattractive daughter.
Was this really her daughter?
