For a moment, the mood in the room was extremely depressed.
A nurse went out to fetch some equipment and was stopped by Sheng Yize. His eyes were bloodshot as he asked, "How is it going in there?"
The nurse said in a trembling voice, "The babies… the babies have been delivered, but they're not crying…"
Not crying. Did that mean… they were stillborn?
There was a wild look in Sheng Yize's eyes and he clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles cracked.
"Calm down! You have to calm down!" He Jiayu grabbed him by the arm and the two of them remained in some kind of deadlock. A long moment passed before a loud cry came from inside the operating room.
"Waa…"
Immediately after that, a slightly softer cry followed suit. The two babies then continued to cry like a duet.
To Sheng Yize, there were no voices more beautiful in the world.
