Jorge Saxton shook his head, looking at Arlo Seys, who was just as worried as he was about the operating room doors, and said in a deep voice, "Give it to Arlo Seys. He's the father of the child and more qualified to name them."
Veralina Quinn carried the child to Arlo Seys and handed the baby to him.
Arlo Seys's eyes remained fixed on the operating room doors. He didn't spare even a glance for the child, his expression indifferent.
Veralina Quinn's fingers were somewhat stiff as she held the baby, and she spoke hoarsely to her son, "Arlo, this is your and Ariel's child, a child Ariel risked her life to bring into the world. You must love them doubly. I believe Ariel thinks like I do and would want you to cherish the child. If she knew that the child she risked her life to give birth to wasn't loved by you, Ariel would be very upset."
Arlo Seys faintly shifted his gaze, taking a brief look at the child.
