"Look, that's your child." Dr. John pointed at the child in the room.
Generally speaking, children were placed next to the pregnant woman. Unless they were in poor health or had no parents to take care of them, they would only be placed here.
"What number?"
"Thirteen."
"Is the child healthy?" Chen Zhao asked.
"The child was born three weeks early, so he's weak, but he's much more stable now."
"There's a silver bracelet on his hand. Did Gerlyn leave it behind?"
Dr. John froze. "That's strange. We don't give jewelry to children in the room. Even if it's something left by parents, it's not allowed."
"Can I hug my child?" Chen Zhao asked nervously. "Yes.
Dr. John glanced at Chen Zhao. Some young parents had the same expression as Chen Zhao.
"Sorry, you're not allowed to touch the child before the adoption process is completed."
"Okay, how long will it take?"
"If there are no accidents, it can be done in one or two days."
"Okay, thank you."
Just then, a woman in black professional attire walked over from the other side of the aisle.
She walked with the wind and her gaze was as sharp as a dagger.
"Dr. John, I'm taking my niece away now. I don't want to hear any excuses. I'm her only guardian."
"Sorry, Ms. Alex, you're not the first guardian now. He is." John pointed at Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao froze for a moment and looked at Ms. Alex in confusion.
"Before Gerlyn was admitted, she recorded that the child's father is this Mr. Chen. After a paternity test, this Mr. Chen is the child's father."
Alex stared at Chen Zhao aggressively. "I don't care if you're Gerlyn's father or not. Name your price, as long as you give up custody."
"Sorry, I don't plan on that." Chen Zhao turned his head, ignoring Alex.
Why should someone else take care of his daughter?
He didn't know before, but now that he knew, he had no reason to ignore it.
Alex stared at Chen Zhao. "Kid, you know I'm a lawyer, right? You know I can send you to prison."
Kid, you know I'm a lawyer, right? You know I can send you to prison.
Chen Zhao played the sentence on his phone. Smiling, he looked at Alex. "Sorry, I have the habit of recording when I talk to strangers."
Alex's expression darkened. This guy seemed harder to deal with than she had imagined.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry for what I said earlier." Alex's tone and attitude suddenly changed, and she softened. "Gerlyn and I were sisters, and my heart aches for Gerlyn's death. This child is Gerlyn's only hope in this world, and I hope to take care of her personally. I can provide her with the best living conditions and education."
"The best education for a child is to stay by their parents' side," Chen Zhao answered. "Now that Gerlyn is gone, I have the responsibility to take care of her."
"But you and Gerlyn broke up a long time ago. You should have a new relationship now, right? If you have a child in your life, it should have a huge impact on your original life."
"Any family that has a child will change, but my girlfriend and I will try our best to adapt to this change."
Seeing that she couldn't get through to Chen Zhao, Alex showed her true colors again.
"Gerlyn's child will never be adopted by an outsider."
"I'm not an outsider. I'm her biological father."
"Apart from blood, you have no relationship with the child."
"Blood is already a very important relationship."
"You can't give the child a good life."
"I'm a university professor. I can also submit proof of my income and assets. I have the ability to provide the best life for the child, and I can also guarantee that she will receive the best care."
Alex realized that Chen Zhao was harder to deal with than she had imagined.
Chen Zhao's work gave him enough capital.
She had to admit that if the adoption agency made the decision, she wouldn't have much of an advantage.
Against Chen Zhao, the biological father, she wouldn't have enough of an advantage as an aunt.
Between a lawyer and a university professor, the adoption agency would most likely decide that Chen Zhao was the biological father.
The adoption agency would first decide if the child was related by blood. The parents would definitely be the top priority.
After Gerlyn passed away, the only people who could be related to the child were Chen Zhao, the father, and Alex, the aunt.
If the child's biological father was a scoundrel or a gangster, Alex could manipulate things and even send the father to prison, then obtain custody and custody.
But now, Chen Zhao's job was to be the best caregiver.
Even if Alex was a billionaire, she couldn't compare to a university professor.
"You two, if you have any disputes, can you discuss it outside the hospital? This is the hospital, and there are 20 children in the isolation rooms."
"I won't give up." Alex left angrily.
Chen Zhao shrugged. "Dr. John, I hope that the adoption certificate can be done as soon as possible. It's best if it's done within 24 hours. If possible, I'm willing to donate one million dollars to the adoption agency and the hospital."
Chen Zhao could tell that Alex wasn't a kind person. He didn't want to drag things out.
It was best to cut the Gordian knot and bring the child to him as soon as possible.
Dr. John's eyes brightened. "Okay, I'll go and supervise."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
Chen Zhao kept looking at the child through the glass window.
At the moment, the child was sleeping peacefully. Her soft cheeks were a bit rosy.
Chen Zhao's heart had never felt so peaceful before. It was as if just looking at her like this was more comfortable than anything else.
"Mr. Chen, I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, goodbye."
Just as Dr. John was about to leave, a woman in a hospital gown rushed over and grabbed him.
"Dr. John, where's my child? Where's my child? Tell me, where did my child go? Tell me. "
"Mrs. Rouse, I don't know either. The police are investigating now. Please wait patiently."
"You lost my child. Give it back to me! Give it back to me!"
The woman continued to wail and cry.
Chen Zhao frowned. Would a child go missing in this hospital?
Chen Zhao couldn't help but worry. He couldn't bring the child with him now. He was even more worried.
