After breakfast, the psychiatrist arranged by Byron the previous night arrived at the hospital.Jessica wasn't allowed to remain in the ward as the psychiatrist spent nearly an hour talking to Kelly. When the psychiatrist finally emerged, his expression bore a grave seriousness.Witnessing the psychiatrist's somber expression, Jessica's heart raced with worry. She cautiously approached him and inquired, "Doctor, how is my daughter?"The psychiatrist sighed and met her gaze. Then, he said, "Let's discuss Kelly's condition in my office." Jessica nodded. She instructed the nursing assistant not to leave before following the psychiatrist to his office. The psychiatrist was a man in his thirties. After glancing at Jessica, he said, "You should be aware of where the problem lies, right?""Yes, I know," Jessica nodded. After spending about an hour talking to Kelly, the psychiatrist concluded that all the issues seemed to revolve around Jessica. When the psychiatrist glanced at her
Due to Kelly's emotional struggles, Jessica's life had been marked by significant ups and downs. She faced immense pressure and pain, yet she had no choice but to grit her teeth and bear it.When Kathryn arrived in the morning, she found Jessica embracing Kelly, who was crying. Although Kelly had been asleep when Kathryn visited the previous night, she was now awake. Her eyes filled with misty tears.Kathryn felt a pang in her heart as she approached. "Why are you crying again?" Upon hearing Kathryn's voice, Jessica and Kelly reluctantly separated. Jessica's eyes filled with worry as she glanced at Kathryn's protruding belly. "Did you come alone?""No." Kathryn shook her head. Chris expressed his intentions to go to the office, but Kathryn remained concerned about Jessica and Kelly. Consequently, he chose to accompany Kathryn to their visit. Chris was uneasy about leaving her alone, mainly since they had office commitments later in the day.Jessica nodded understandingly. "
Chris didn't think much of Kathryn's need to use the restroom. He had a phone call coming in, so he let go of her hand and casually said, "Please go ahead."Unaware of Kathryn's unusual behavior, he turned around to answer the call.Kathryn was breathing heavily. Then, she lowered her head and discovered that her pants were already wet. She had even created a puddle on the floor! For a brief moment, her mind went blank as she tried to hold it in, but it proved impossible. The floor echoed with a dripping sound.Overwhelmed with embarrassment, Kathryn wished she could simply disappear from the scene.After Chris ended his call, he turned around and found Kathryn still standing there. He asked softly, "Why haven't you gone yet? Can't you find the restroom?"Feeling intensely embarrassed, Kathryn's eyes welled up. She looked at Chris, her voice choking as she confessed, "I-I wet my pants!"Her teary-eyed appearance took him aback. When he saw the water on the floor, his heart sank
"It's not as painful as I expected," Kathryn replied. The pain she felt didn't match the excruciating descriptions she had read about in books. Could childbirth be less painful than anticipated?Soon, the doctor approached to examine Kathryn. They noted that her cervix was only dilated by less than one inch.They inquired about her discomfort, with the doctor offering reassurance that the intense pain would likely come later.Chris inquired, "Is there any way to make her more comfortable during the delivery?" He had extensively studied videos and books, hoping to spare Kathryn from unnecessary suffering.The doctor found Chris' question slightly awkward but replied, "It's improbable for there to be no pain at all. However, we'll do our best to alleviate Mrs. Albert's discomfort.""Why don't you consider a C-section?" Chris suggested with a dark expression. A few days ago, he had carefully compared the delivery options and felt that Kathryn might not be able to endure the pain
The surprising turn of events took Benjamin aback, as his actions had been quite peculiar. Chris, who had never been fond of him, seemed determined to keep him away from Kathryn.Under Chris' watchful and critical eye, Benjamin awkwardly attempted to explain himself by saying, "Aren't I just trying to help you? I was concerned you might be overwhelmed!"However, that statement came across as absurd, prompting Chris to sneer, "I wasn't aware we were that close. Why would you worry about me being overwhelmed?"The audacity of Benjamin's concerns about Chris being too busy was genuinely astonishing.Benjamin was desperate, his back drenched in cold sweat. He wanted to clarify Kathryn's identity as soon as possible. This was because Arthur's health was deteriorating, and the persistent desire to find the child weighed heavily on his mind.Kathryn's sudden exclamation caused Chris' face to darken further. He snapped, "Leave immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!"With that,
Kathryn sniffled while saying, "Pinching myself helps me reduce some pain!"She claimed it was to alleviate the pain, but in reality, it served as a way to divert her focus from the unbearable stomach cramps. Pinching her arm provided a distraction.Chris watched her arms turn red from her pinches, feeling incredibly distressed. How could this be happening? She was giving birth, yet she was hurting herself all over ...In desperation, Chris blurted out a shocking and nonsensical statement, stunning everyone in the room. "Can't we just not have the baby?"All the doctors were left speechless. This was childbirth; it wasn't something he could just decide not to do, as if it were some other task. Was he seriously suggesting they could just choose not to give birth?Frank was also present, and he hurried forward. "Mr. Albert, please try not to get too anxious. The child must be born."This statement only intensified Chris' frantic state.He was beginning to regret it all. Why hadn
Since her return to Harborlean, Krista couldn't shake the thought of finding Kathryn, yet the fear of facing her loomed large.Every time she contemplated reaching out, the memory of Kathryn's fearful expression haunted her.Now, upon learning that Kathryn was in the hospital and ready to give birth, Krista felt an overwhelming sense of urgency and confusion.Understanding her concerns, Savanna suggested, "Maybe you should go and check on her. Even if you don't enter the ward, waiting outside might give you peace of mind."Krista nodded, instructing someone to bring down the baby and maternity supplies she had prepared.The baby clothes she purchased had all appropriately been sterilized. Regardless of their necessity, she wanted to bring them along.Upon arriving at the hospital, Kathryn had already been taken to the delivery room.Outside the delivery room, Chris and the medical team from Sunshine Bay waited anxiously. He desperately wanted to be inside to support Kathryn, but
Now, the Winchesters wanted to extend their reach to Kathryn. Well, even if it cost Krista's life, she would tear these people apart. Benjamin's breath grew heavy. This situation now had spiraled out of control. He glanced at Chris, who spoke chillingly, "Not leaving?"The relationship between Krista and Chris used to be explosively volatile. Now, seeing them united, nobody dared to utter a word."I'm not leaving!" With those words, Benjamin defiantly sat on a row of iron chairs against the wall.Everybody was speechless after hearing this. Why wouldn't Benjamin leave? What did he have to do with this situation?In truth, Benjamin was worried about Kathryn, even though nothing about her identity was confirmed yet. He had a hunch that the marks on Kathryn's neck matched the location his mother mentioned years ago.Unbeknownst to him, his reluctance to leave was perceived as an act of defiance by everyone present. They had no idea why he was confronting Chris.Inside the deli
