After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1236 - 1235: Finally

After saying his piece, Ou ZhenTing dashed over swiftly to grab the phone.

The instant he picked up, Wang Zijian from the other side blurted out right away, "General Ou, I heard you’ve imposed a lockdown at the hospital. Have you discovered any suspicious situation again?"

Because of the prior clash with Mr. Liu’s force remnants, Wang Zijian felt deep worry over the matter.

"You’re overthinking this, leader!" Ou ZhenTing quickly clarified upon hearing that, "It’s just a precaution."

"A precaution?" Wang Zijian sounded a bit confused.

"Yes, a precaution," Ou ZhenTing replied over the phone, "my daughter is about to give birth. I’m afraid of any ill-intentioned people sneaking in, so I’ve slightly locked down the hospital."

Once Ou ZhenTing wrapped up his explanation, a heavy silence fell from Wang Zijian’s end.

Yet before Wang Zijian could respond, Ou ZhenTing pressed on, "Leader, you know, twenty years ago my daughter went missing in the hospital..."

"So we absolutely cannot allow that kind of thing to occur again in our family..."

"So, leader, can you understand?"

Ou ZhenTing deliberately infused his voice with profound grief.

"Ah, ah," Wang Zijian cleared his throat softly and replied, "I understand, I understand."

"Thank you, leader, thank you very, very much!" Ou ZhenTing shouted back excitedly into the phone upon hearing that, "Then, leader, my grandson might be born at any moment, I’ll hang up the call..."

Ou ZhenTing’s words were cut short as a guard rushed up with urgent news.

"General, it’s happened, Young Madam Huo has given birth!" The guard yelled out.

Overjoyed at the news, Ou ZhenTing sped up his pace while declaring, "Leader, I’m hanging up now!"

With that, he snapped the phone shut with a sharp "snap" and bolted from the hospital office in a hurry.

At the line’s other end, Wang Zijian heard the dial tone buzzing and shook his head helplessly.

A person nearby remarked to Wang Zijian: "Leader, isn’t it true that the Ou and Huo families don’t seem to take you seriously..."

Wang Zijian cut them off mid-sentence with a stern glare, snapping, "I don’t want to hear that again."

"The loyalty of the Ou Family and Huo Family is unmatched by ordinary people," Wang Zijian affirmed firmly.

"But, but the way they handle things..." the individual persisted.

"I said don’t mention it again." Shaking his head, Wang Zijian added, "You, have you been swayed by others?"

"Times have changed," Wang Zijian continued, "no matter what some people say, you must know that the Ou Family and Huo Family are loyal to the country. If I can’t see that, then what kind of leader am I?"

Ou ZhenTing and the rest remained oblivious to Wang Zijian’s words.

Right then, the delivery room door swung open, with a nurse emerging first, cradling the newborn.

"Congratulations, everyone, it’s a boy, weighing 6 pounds 6 ounces, very healthy!" The nurse proclaimed happily.

"That’s wonderful! That’s wonderful!" Boy or girl didn’t matter; the baby’s health brought Mrs. Ou to the brink of joyful tears.

Delight spread across Huo Zhongcheng’s face and those of the others.

"Good, good, good!" Ou ZhenTing cheered, "as long as the child is healthy, that’s good, healthy is good!"

"Yes, healthy is good!" echoed Huo Zhongcheng.

Upon saying this, both Ou ZhenTing and Huo Zhongcheng stepped ahead eagerly to view the baby.

But one beat them to it—the fresh father, freshly shifted from anticipation to reality, Huo Shiqian.
