Steve Burton quickly clasped Ruby Gregory, a smile still lingering on his lips as he automatically asked, "Ruby, what's wrong?"

As he lowered his head and saw her pale face and trembling body, his own face instantly lost its colour. He tightened his grip on Ruby Gregory, his anxious tone trembling slightly, "Ruby, what's wrong? Where are you uncomfortable?"

Ruby Gregory had been pregnant for some time, but she had never felt such severe abdominal pain before. She clutched her stomach, unable to utter a word in response to Steve Burton's frantic inquiries.

She could feel the pain in her abdomen, wave after wave of it crashing over her. Her stomach felt unusually bloated, and a damp fluid was continuously seeping from her lower half.

"Ruby, don't scare me. Talk to me, where are you uncomfortable?" Steve Burton asked her several times. Finally, he picked up Ruby Gregory with one hand, and grabbed his mobile phone from the coffee table with the other. He started to dial "911" but before he could hit the call button, Ruby Gregory caught his wrist amidst the pain, and rhythmlessly stated, "I... I think I'm going into labour..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruby Gregory suddenly let out a scream.

The scream from Ruby Gregory sent chills down Steve Burton's spine. He hastily shoved the mobile phone into his pocket. Not caring that he was only in his pyjamas, he set Ruby Gregory on the sofa, ran upstairs to grab his car keys and wallet. Then he swiftly carried her off the sofa and bolted out of the door.

"Hang in there, Ruby. We're almost at the hospital..." Steve Burton comforted Ruby Gregory, while quickly opening the car door, stuffing her inside, then smoothly getting in the car himself. He hit the gas pedal hard and sped out of the underground parking lot.

The screams of Ruby Gregory filled the car, one after the other. Steve Burton gripped the steering wheel tightly, continuously stepping harder on the accelerator until the car was at maximum speed.

The hospital Steve Burton took Ruby Gregory to was the same one where she had been receiving her prenatal check-ups. He parked the car directly in front of the maternity ward building. Jumping out of the car, he picked up Ruby Gregory, whose hair was soaking wet from the pain. Then, with a swift kick to close the car door, he ran into the building.

"Quickly, she's giving birth, she's giving birth…" The words Steve Burton called out once he burst into the building were filled with a trembling tone.

The nurses on the first floor seeing the situation, immediately dialed the intercom. Soon, a mobile bed was rolled out. Steve Burton placed Ruby on it and followed the nurses as they rushed toward the operating room.

The obstetrician had already received a call and was waiting in the operating room. As soon as Ruby Gregory arrived in the operating room, the doctor did a check-up and decisively declared, "It's a premature birth, prepare quickly, we're about to deliver."

Ruby Gregory was having a premature delivery of triplets, already a critical situation. Furthermore, it was in the middle of the night, the only one who could have brought her in was her husband. So, without a second thought, the nurse handed the surgical consent form to Steve Burton for his signature.

Each of Ruby Gregory's screams in the delivery room was more intense than the last. Steve Burton was frantic, not even bothering to look at the form he's signing. He took the pen, signed quickly, and then urged them to deliver Ruby Gregory's babies immediately.
