Chapter 1326
After a while, Matilda and William arrived, carrying many bags in their hands.
Just now, Sophia and John were too anxious about getting to the hospital that they didn’t bring anything with them.
Matilda brought over a towel and a plastic basin, whereas John took the initiative to fetch water from the bathroom and wiped Sophia’s face and hands. Matilda pulled up a chair and sat next to the young lady. “Relax a little and don’t be too nervous. The more nervous you are, the more uncomfortable you’ll be.”
Having been through labor, Matilda understood how painful it was to give birth. When she gave birth to her son, she had truly felt that she had one foot in the grave then.
Sophia’s cervix hadn’t dilated yet, so the pain should still be bearable. The contractions that would come later would feel much worse.
As Sophia’s belly constricted with pain, there was no other way for her to deal with it except to force herself to close her eyes.
She wanted to go to sleep in the hope that the pain would disappear, but all this gurgling in the belly forced her to stay wide awake. Therefore, she could only carefully but constantly toss and turn in bed.
William waited for more than half an hour, but his calls never stopped. They were all from the company, as there were many things waiting for him to deal with. In the end, he had no choice but to tell Matilda to call him if there were any issues, and he would return to the company first.
After reassuring him, she didn’t forget to jokingly comment that when she gave birth, he didn’t appear to be so considerate back then.
When William was leaving, he told Sophia, “Sophia, relax a bit. The more nervous you are, the more you’ll suffer.”
Sophia was in so much pain that she actually had no patience anymore, but this was William after all, and she couldn’t snap at William like she could at John.
So, she said in a mild voice, “I get it.” After William left, Matilda came over with an apple and slowly peeled it. John was holding Sophia’s hand and staring at her. In a low voice, Matilda said to him, “Don’t be so nervous. The more nervous you are, the more nervous she will be. Relax. You’ll probably see your son today.” With that said, John’s nervousness slipped away, and he became excited instead. In fact, he was exhilarated when he thought that he could see his child today. He had really begun to look forward to the child even before Sophia got pregnant, as he wanted a child of his own so much. Matilda cut the apple into pieces, then speared a piece with a toothpick. “Sophia, are you asleep? Do you want to eat some fruits? You’ll feel more comfortable if you eat some fruits.” Sophia hadn’t fallen asleep at all. Opening her eyes slowly, she looked at what Matilda was holding and struggled to sit up. But before she could take the toothpick, her stomach churned. Waving her hand, she got up and rushed to the bathroom. As she lay at the edge of the sink, she started throwing up terribly. This scared John out of his wits, so he hurriedly rang the bell and called the nurse to come in. The nurse came very quickly. John’s face was pale with worry as
he asked, “Why did she throw up?” The nurse patted Sophia’s back and briefly asked her how she felt, and then patiently explained to John, “Different people have different reactions to the pain. It may be that she feels nauseous when the pain starts.
There is nothing we can do. If she wants to throw up, let her throw up.” After the nurse said so, John felt a little relieved. Sophia stood by the sink, her stomach roiling aggressively. She hadn’t eaten anything in the morning, and now her whole stomach felt cramped after throwing up. Matilda came over with a towel. Sophia wiped her face and lay back on the bed, but after lying down for a while, she felt nauseous again. Rushing back to the bathroom, she lay next to the sink and threw up uncontrollably. John felt terribly distressed next to her, and for the first time, he felt a little lost. He wanted to bear Sophia’s suffering for her, but it was impossible. Matilda patted Sophia on the back. After Sophia was done throwing up, she raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror with tears in her eyes. “I feel so uncomfortable.” Matilda nodded. “I understand, I understand. Be patient. Everything will be fine when the baby is born.”
