The higher executives were left ignored in the conference room.
All of them stared at each other, not knowing what to do. They did not dare to leave the conference room.
“Will Mr. Everett be back for the meeting later?”
“I don’t think so! Miss Haynes is about to give birth, so he has to go to the hospital to accompany her!”
“He might be back. It’s just giving birth to a child! Many pregnant women go to the hospital to give birth themselves.”
“Oh, I need to pee. I want to go to the toilet. If the meeting is canceled, can I leave?”
“Bear with it for now! If Mr. Everett comes back for a meeting and sees that we’re all gone, he might be mad at us again.”
Bruce quickly sent Joanna to the hospital.
They were in the car on the way to the hospital.
“Drive faster! Drive faster!”
The driver was so nervous that he did not dare disobey or say anything. He kept slamming on the accelerator.
The car roared as it sped in the direction of the hospital.
“Argh… Ugh…” Joanna was in so much pain that her entire body was covered in a cold sweat.
“Joann, hold on. We’re going to the hospital now!”
“Speed up!”
“Argh, um… it hurts…”
Joanna screamed in pain and almost fainted.
Marks A
Bruce held her tiny face and comforted her. “Joann, it’s okay. It’s okay. We’ll be at the hospital soon!”
“Driver, speed up!”
The car drove past several red lights, ignoring the traffic rules.
Fifteen minutes had passed.
They arrived at the Avery Women’s Hospital.
That was Greyport’s most expensive private maternity hospital. Many rich people and celebrities gave birth to children and had their postpartum recovery programs in this hospital.
When the car door opened, the nurse and doctor had already received the news and were waiting with a stretcher.
“Quick, quick, quick!”
“Be careful. Put the pregnant woman on the stretcher first.”
The well-trained nurses carried Joanna onto the small cart. The doctor quickly put an oxygen mask on her.
“The patient’s water has broken. Send her to the operating room immediately!”
“Ouch, it hurts so much!”
Bruce got out of the car. He was so nervous that his legs turned to jelly. “Honey! Honey, don’t be afraid. I’ll always be with you.”
“Mr. Everett, the patient’s water has broken. We have to arrange for delivery immediately!”
“Please make way. We’re sending the pregnant woman to the delivery room now.”
When Bruce heard this, he quickly nodded. “Oh, okay.”
He was so nervous that his mind went blank.
“Mm…”
The nurse pushed Joanna and rushed to the delivery room.
“God bless them. Please bless Joann and the child.” Bruce followed behind uneasily.
He was a little out of his wits and did not know what to do.
When Joanna gave birth to their triplet, he did not know at all. Naturally, he could not feel the excitement and joy of being the father of a newborn.
Now that Joanna was about to give birth, he was only nervous.
Meanwhile, Joanna was already in the delivery room.
The doctor examined Joanna’s condition.
“The uterus hasn’t opened big enough for the fetus to come out, but the water has broken.”
“What can we do about it now?”
“Mrs. Everett, do you still have the strength to give birth?”
“I’m going to inject you with some drug to induce labor now. It might hurt a little!”
Previously. Joanna had said that she wanted a natural delivery. Therefore, the doctor tried his best to cooperate with her request.
However, in her current situation, if she insisted on giving birth naturally, she and the baby would probably be in danger.
Ah! It hurts!” Joanna took two deep breaths. The pain was unbearable.
Her body spasmed like her spine had been extracted. She lay weakly on the hospital bed, closed her eyes, and fainted.
“Oh no, the patient fainted. The patient is weak now. She probably doesn’t have the strength to give birth naturally.”
“It’s better to perform a C-section surgery!”
“Immediately inform the patient’s family to sign the consent form…”
They were quick and decisive.
The doctor and nurse came out to look for Bruce.
“Mr. Everett, bad news. Mrs. Everett has fainted!”
“What?” Bruce’s heart hammered. He subconsciously walked toward the direction of the operating room.
“Mr. Everett, you can’t
go
in!”
Bruce’s mind was in a mess. He thought that Joanna had a difficult labor. “No matter what, you must make sure the mother is alive. I choose to save the mother.”
“Mr. Everett, don’t be in such a hurry. The patient had just fainted. We have to arrange for a C-section surgery immediately.”
“The patient’s water has already broken. There might be no way to continue giving birth naturally. The mother and fetus might be in danger if we delay any longer.”
Bruce nodded hurriedly. “Alright. Okay. Quickly perform the surgery then.”
“Doctor, please prioritize my wife’s life no matter what.”
“Yes, Mr. Everett, don’t worry! Please sign here.”
Bruce picked up a pen and signed the surgical consent form.
However, his hands were trembling uncontrollably. In the past, he had signed tens of thousands of contracts. No matter how important the contract was, his hands had never shaken.
But now, his hand trembled so badly that he almost couldn’t hold his pen.
“I have signed it!”
“Alright, let’s arrange for a C-section surgery immediately.”
“Oh, God! Please bless Joann and our baby.”
“Honey, you have to make it through!” Bruce’s eyes were red. He paced anxiously in front of the delivery room.
The butler also brought experienced postpartum nurses and wetnurses to the hospital.
These people were all recruited in advance. They had been arranged to wait for Joanna to give birth.
Seeing that Bruce was so nervous, Gael quickly comforted him. “Mr. Everett, don’t be so flustered. The gynecology department of Avery Women’s Hospital is very professional. Mrs. Everett will definitely be fine.”
Miranda chimed in, “Yes, that’s right. God will bless Joann. She and the baby will definitely be safe!”
Bruce didn’t listen to them and was still anxious.
He would not be so nervous if Joanna were due to give birth. However, she was so angry that she gave birth prematurely. How could he not be afraid?
Moreover, since ancient times, there had been a saying that premature babies born in the seventh month of pregnancy would usually live, but those premature babies born in the eighth month would probably die.
Joanna was pregnant for eight months.
Of course, Bruce was even more nervous. He was no longer worried about his child’s safety but about Joanna’s.
Seconds ticked by.
Bruce felt like days had passed. He stared at the delivery room and held his breath nervously.
Two hours later…
The sound of a baby crying finally came from the delivery room.
“She has successfully given birth.”
Bruce’s heart skilled a beat, and he was even more dumbfounded.
In the end, Joanna did not get to deliver the baby naturally. The doctor performed a C-section surgery on her.
The door of the delivery room opened, and the maternity doctor walked out.
“Doctor, how is everything?”
“Congratulations, Mr. Everett. The mother and son are safe. Mrs. Everett has given birth to a boy.”
“Ah!” Hearing this, Bruce finally heaved a sigh of relief. He was happy they were fine.
“Congratulations on the birth of your son, Mr. Everett.” The servants were also relieved and congratulated him.
“The patient has been sent to the ward.”
“Can I go in and meet her?”
“Yes, Mrs. Everett has woken up, but she is in a weak state.”
“Okay!”
Bruce eagerly entered the delivery room.
Joanna had just undergone a C-section surgery.
She was lying weakly on the bed with an oxygen tube attached to her nose and an intravenous drip on her arm. Her lower abdomen had already been sutured and wrapped in a thick hemostatic bandage.”
“Joann, Joann…”
Bruce’s eyes shimmered in tears. He dashed toward the hospital bed.
Although Joanna had woken up, the anesthesia had yet to wear off. Her face was as pale as a piece of white paper, and she looked frail.
“The baby. Where is our baby…” Joanna weakly reached out to touch her belly. Her belly had flattened.
“Honey, the doctor did a C-section surgery for you. You have delivered him successfully.”
Hearing this, Joanna felt a little more at ease.
Then, she closed her eyes and tilted her head slightly to the side, not wanting to look at him.
She wanted to give birth naturally.
However, her body was weak, and she could not give birth naturally. In addition, her water had broken, so the baby was delivered in advance.
“Honey, thank you for everything!”
Bruce reached out and gently stroked her hair. He said as he sobbed, “Honey, we won’t have children in the future. Four children are enough.”
“Thank you for giving birth to four children for me,” Bruce said as tears rolled down his face.
“Where’s the baby? Hurry up and bring him over for Mr. Everett to take a look,” said someone.
“Mr. Everett. The child was born a month prematurely and is a little weak. He has to be placed in the incubator for two
weeks.
“If you want to see the baby, you can go to the childcare area.”
The baby was born prematurely. Although he was delivered safely, he was very weak. After he was born, he was immediately placed into an incubator.
“Okay.”
Then, Bruce followed the nurse to the childcare area.
Through the incubator, Bruce glanced at the tiny baby inside.
The child was wrapped in a cotton blanket and looked very small. His face was still covered with a faint layer of fetal fat, but his hair was quite dense.”
