Bab 110: Rejection

Drake POV:

The thought of Leila's dedication warmed me as I carefully collected her soup. Despite everything, she still insisted on breastfeeding Ash herself as often as she could. Even on her worst days, she would find the strength to hold him close, to give him what he needed. She'd brush off my concerns with that stubborn look in her eyes, as if her will alone could keep her upright. The doctors assured us that Leila's illness wouldn't pass to Ash through her breast milk, which was a relief. Despite how sick she seemed, her milk was still safe and rich in nutrients, crucial for Ash's development. They'd explained to me that breast milk contained antibodies and growth factors that would strengthen his tiny immune system, helping him grow strong in his early, fragile days. This was especially important because, as a premature baby, Ash needed every advantage he could get.
