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
Krista had always been strong. She would never do something that would please her opponent. Nobody had ever seen her cry.The nurse brought the stuff into the delivery room. Krista glanced at Chris, who didn't look friendly. She eventually thanked him. "Thanks."She had been constantly thinking of a way to make amends for what she had done during this period. She had tried to figure it out for a long time, but still, she didn't even have the courage to see Kathyrn. She was already satisfied that Kathryn's newborn child could wear the clothes she had prepared.Chris ignored her. His gaze was still fixed on the door of the delivery room, which was tightly shut.Benjamin was even confused as he saw what had just happened. He thought it was outrageous that Krista had prepared baby essentials for Chris' child. Was she so desperate to reconcile with Chris?It was almost impossible for them to make peace with each other.Meanwhile, Kathryn could finally relax after enduring countless
Krista wondered what Benjamin had come for instead. Was he trying to fish for some information for Susan?She thought Benjamin might be trying to find out if Kathryn's child was a boy or a girl. She believed that they might wanted to find out if Kathryn was able to have a firm footing in the Albert family.Krista had been informed that Susan had been hanging around with Martha for the past few days. She was certain that she knew what Susan was up to.Benjamin's face was filled with anger. His tone grew colder as he spoke again. "Do I have to explain it to you?""You don't have to, of course. But tell Susan that there's no place for her in the Alberts, no matter whether Kathryn's in the family or not. She should stop wasting her time."Benjamin thought that Krista was such a psychopath. She used to praise Susan a lot when she was trying to flatter the Winchesters. He couldn't understand what she was doing at the moment. How could she belittle Susan like that after thinking that s
