Chapter 843 Unfit to Be a Mother

Jude wore a grateful smile. "You're the only one who would say that. To be honest, I have been feeling ashamed of myself when I was chatting with the other mothers. I don't know how to change the baby's diapers, nor do I know how to burp the baby. You're even better at this than me."

It would be a lie to say that she was unaffected. When she saw that Charles could deftly change the baby's diapers and burp him, she felt like a piece of trash, especially so when she couldn't even provide the baby with enough milk.

"Nobody is born with these skills and knowledge. Jude, you're already doing great, so you don't need to feel disappointed. All I wish for is that you stay healthy." Charles caressed her face gently. As long as Jude was doing well, he didn't care about the rest. "A woman's worth isn't only determined by her ability to care for her baby. Have you ever wondered who the occupants are in this care center?"

Jude wore a faint smile. "Of course it's full of the rich." The monthly rent of the cheapest room in this care center would cost three million; only people who hailed from rich families could afford that amount. "Indeed. Most of these women are wives of rich men."

"I know that. I also know that they're incredible women who have no trouble giving birth and raising babies, all the while maintaining a youthful appearance. On the contrary, I still have a round belly. I used to think that I am thin, but I feel like I still have a long way to go when compared to them." Jude was regretting her decision to leave her room. After all, with comparison came a sense of insecurity.

"This is all because they needed to prove their worth through such endeavors. These rich ladies have no career of their own, since they rely on their husbands for a livelihood. Their only purpose is to give birth to and raise children. Other than that, they are also doing their best to preserve their beauty even during postnatal care so that their husbands won't cheat on them. Don't you think it is sad that they have to resort to such methods to cling onto their husbands and replace a sense of self worth?"

Jude found herself agreeing with him.

"Other than childcare, women can prove their worth through various other methods. In this modern society, women are no longer broodmares and maids. They have a lot of other methods to prove their own worth." Charles held an extremely gentle gaze when he was looking at Jude. "You have your own career and a bright future ahead of you. Therefore, you shouldn't confine yourself in such a small space. You need to live as yourself. Do you hear me?"

Upon hearing that, she nodded vehemently. "Okay!"

A week later, she made the important decision to give up on breastfeeding. After all, she couldn't produce enough breast milk to sustain the baby, so feeding sessions always left the baby crying, as well as her breast hurting like hell. Therefore, she gave up on the endeavor altogether.

Ever since the decision was made, the quality of her life had improved significantly. She no longer needed to feed the baby during the wee hours when she was in a semi-conscious state. She could also put all the pain from breastfeeding as well as the shame of having to allow a masseuse to massage her breasts in the past. All of a sudden, the world felt like a much better place. However, she was inevitably being verbally attacked by the other mothers in the care center for being incompetent.

"She's so ruthless for giving up on breastfeeding when breast milk is the best sustenance for her baby. She sure is a selfish woman."

"Indeed! I also have trouble producing enough milk, but I never stop trying! On the contrary, she gave up just like that! Even a little is better than none when it comes to breast milk!"

"The baby is so unlucky to have been born in her family. She's unfit as a mother since she isn't even willing to sacrifice herself even a little."
