The Mech Touch novel Chapter 3377

Chapter 3377: Succession System

While a growing number of Larkinsons gathered in the hallway outside of the crucial compartment, a nervous-looking Ves stood in a waiting room.

"Miaow~"

"Meow."

Both Clixie and Lucky hugged and pressed their bodies against him in order to calm his tensions and distract him from his concerns.

Dr. Ranya Wodin in her customary lab coat emerged from an examination chamber.

"Sir."

"How is she doing, doctor?"

"Her condition is normal at the moment." Gloriana's cousin calmly replied. "We have been monitoring your wife and the fetus non-stop and nothing has given us cause for concern so far. While there are a few wrinkles in the data, they are all within tolerance. Not just our doctors, but also the renowned medical professors retained by Witshaw & Yeneca agree on this. Designer babies are healthier and more resilient than their normal counterparts. They are also meant to impose less of a burden to their mothers. In short, we have the situation completely under control. Neither your wife nor your upcoming child are at risk."

Ves grew a little more optimistic after hearing this, but he still hugged Clixie close to his chest in order to comfort himself.

His upcoming child was not a regular designer baby. Witshaw & Seneca might know a lot about the biology of its products, but the highly reputable biotech company had no idea that Ves experimented on the fetus!

Although Ves never sensed that his attempts to give his unborn daughter a powerful spiritual boost led to any danger, who knew whether spiritually empowering his child would produce any complications during this stressful moment!

This was the first time that he had done anything like this. In hindsight, his actions were reckless to the extreme, but his love for his child had compelled him to take action. If his attempt worked out, then his new daughter would start off her life at a much higher starting point than almost every other human in the galaxy! _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

All he had to do now was to stay close and be ready to intervene if his baby's abnormally powerful spirituality produced any adverse reactions.

Even though Ves knew little about childbirth and medical science, he considered himself to be a decent spiritual surgeon. No one in the fleet was more knowledgeable and experienced than him when it came to operating on other people's spiritualities!

"How long do I have to wait until my wife starts to push out our baby?" Ves asked.

"It depends. Your wife has accepted only light treatment to shorten and accelerate the early labor phase, so she has a long ordeal ahead of her. Once we have completed our deep scans on her body, we will move her to a comfortable space where you and a select number of guests can keep her company if she accepts visitors."

Dr. Ranya imparted a lot of additional information to Ves. There was a lot involved when it came to delivering babies and he did not pretend to know anything about it. His wife was experiencing regular contractions that would only grow more frequent and painful as the important moment neared.

"Natural childbirth is a marathon, not a sprint." She told him. "Gloriana might not want you to be around all the time, especially when she is in an embarrassing position. Make sure to be available if she demands your presence but give her the privacy she needs if she doesn't want you around."

"Understood."

The following hours passed slowly for Ves. In this stressful and happy occasion, he felt almost completely helpless.

It was strange for him to be in this position. He could design, build and repair all kinds of huge and powerful mechs. He effectively controlled a powerful clan organization that controlled assets worth trillions of hex credits. He was also able to create powerful spiritual products that were sometimes mistaken as gods!

Yet for all of his authority and might, he could do little to alleviate the birthing process. Unless any spiritual complications emerged, he would remain as powerless as any father in this circumstance!

Ves kept his wife company for an hour. It was too bad that Gloriana wasn't a good conversation partner at this time. Aside from talking about how to name their baby and how to raise her, her frequent pain along with growing mood swings caused her to become increasingly more prickly!

"Get out!"

"What? Why?"

"I want to take a bath!"

Ves scratched his head. "That doesn't mean I have to leave your side."

"I SAID GET OUT!"

After Gloriana essentially booted him out of the medical bay, he came face to face with a large number of waiting Larkinsons.

Ves noted that many of the clansmen were originally stationed on other vessels such as the Graveyard or the Vivacious Wal. They had all transferred over as soon as they received word.

There were other guests as well. Glory Seekers such as Marshal Ariadne Wodin, Venerable Brutus Wodin looked even more eager than Ves to greet the new baby!

Interestingly enough, neither Patriarch Reginald nor Professor Benedict of the Cross Clan opted to pay a friendly visit.

It wasn't necessary for them to do so and Ves did not really mind their decision. The Cross Clan showed enough consideration for sending a small delegation of officials that were already being received by Minister Shederin.

Ves first opted to join the circle of expert pilots. Venerable Joshua, Venerable Jannzi, Venerable Orfan, Venerable Dise and Venerable Brutus had all gathered together to discuss the baby and other topics.
