"So, Mrs. Ford, it's not that Mr. Ford wanted to hide it from you, but he had promised Mr. Starr not to tell you about this.""Perhaps Mr. Starr told you not to seek revenge because he felt guilty about Mr. Ford Senior's death," Malcolm speculated."Regarding your baby…"Blake didn't let Malcolm talk about this, but Malcolm felt it necessary to bring it up. This matter was crucial, after all.If this matter wasn't explained clearly, Yasmin would never be able to accept Blake again. Even if Yasmin couldn't like Blake because of what happened with Stuart, Malcolm still had to speak up."Mrs. Ford, the week before you lost your baby, Mr. Ford went to Merania to see Ms. Fletcher, not because he cared about her, but because they found this surveillance footage there. "When Mr. Ford saw the footage, he couldn't accept it and drove out into a snowstorm. Then, he crashed into a guardrail and suffered from a high fever for several days."During those days, he was delirious and kept call
No one answered on the other end.Blake had a bad feeling. He quickly grabbed his coat and rushed out of the house.He jumped into the car and drove at breakneck speed to Bournegin Heights. Upon arriving, he dashed inside and anxiously pressed the elevator button.Why was Yasmin not picking up? Did she not want to, or did something happen?Blake feared that something had happened to her and kept muttering in the elevator, "Come on, hurry up…"The elevator finally arrived at Yasmin's floor. Blake took out his keycard, swiped it at the door, and saw a cleaning lady tidying up inside."Who are you looking for?" the cleaning lady asked him."Where is Ms. Starr?" Blake asked with a straight face."Ms. Starr is still in her room and hasn't gotten up yet."Blake's expression changed as he walked to the bedroom door and knocked a few times. "Yasmin, open the door."There was no response from inside.Blake knocked heavily again. "Yasmin!"There was still silence inside.The cleanin
Blake's brows furrowed."Let go of me first," Yasmin said.Blake released her.Yasmin took her clothes and went to the bathroom.As the door closed, she leaned against it, her dark eyes like a starless night.Before knowing the truth, she hated him.After knowing the truth, she couldn't face him.She needed some time to sort out her emotions.Turning on the shower, she washed herself slowly. Afterward, she walked out with wet, dripping hair.Blake was sitting on the couch in the living room. When he saw her, his gaze flickered slightly."Why are you still here?" Yasmin wondered.Blake glanced at his watch. "I had someone bring dinner over. It'll be ready soon."She raised an eyebrow. "Didn't I say I wasn't hungry?""You've got a weak stomach. You can't always eat outside food. I've asked Mary to cook for you. I'll leave once she brings it over," Blake insisted.Yasmin felt helpless.Yasmin had decided not to be with him even before she learned about the truth.After kno
Blake was at the door with dinner when he saw Yasmin hurriedly changing her shoes. Sensing something was wrong, he asked, "What's going on? Are you going out?""Yes.""You haven't had dinner yet.""I don't have time to eat right now." Yasmin was anxious and slipped on her shoes. Looking at Blake, she remembered something. "Eunice's water broke, and she needs to go to the hospital. Contact Mortimer and have him come back!"Yasmin was in a rush and started running out afterward.Blake put down the dinner and followed her. She was waiting at the elevator, anxiously biting her finger while watching the numbers coming up. "Come on, hurry up…""Don't be so anxious. You should call an ambulance now. Don't go to her house. The round trip will waste a lot of time. Have the ambulance pick her up, and we'll meet her directly at the hospital.""Right." Yasmin agreed that calling an ambulance was the right move. She took out her phone with trembling fingers.Blake held her hand. "I'll m
30 minutes later, they arrived at the hospital."Has Eunice Salle been admitted? Where is she?" Blake asked the nurse as soon as he entered the hospital.The nurse recognized him as it was Blake's hospital. She quickly replied, "Ms. Salle is currently in the ultrasound room."Blake quickly walked ahead, Yasmin following closely behind him. When they reached the ultrasound room, they saw Eunice being wheeled out by a nurse. She was lying flat on the gurney."Eunice." Yasmin rushed over. "How are you now?""I'm fine. I just had an ultrasound done. The doctor said the baby's position is correct, and we just need to wait for labor to begin.""What needs to be done now?""Nothing. The rest of the examinations can be done in the labor room.""Okay." Yasmin held Eunice's hand. She had been anxious and restless on the way to the hospital.They went to the labor room, which was a separate room.Blake didn't come in.After taking blood samples, the nurse advised Eunice not to get out
Eunice was a bit disappointed after hearing that.Her due date was originally five days later, and she could have waited for Mortimer to come back. Unexpectedly, her water broke at 39 weeks and 2 days, not making it to 40 weeks.However, since it was over 39 weeks, the doctor said it was normal since some babies came early and others late; each was different.Yasmin noticed her disappointment and held her hand. "I'm sorry, Eunice. Since I asked Mortimer to help me handle things in Merania, he couldn't come back in time.""It's okay." Eunice patted her hand. "Mortimer went to Merania to help you and to do what's right. I've had enough of that angelic bitch, too!"Yasmin laughed."The food in the meal box is getting cold. You'd better take it to Blake now. I also need to eat something in case I can't eat later due to the pain." Eunice finished her soup and started eating her meal, consuming a lot of beef.Seeing her good appetite, Yasmin's furrowed brows finally relaxed. Then, she
The doctors inside were examining Eunice. After recording the information, they were about to leave.Joel was quite curious about Eunice and asked her, "So this child is Mortimer's?""Yes.""The baby looks healthy. Have you bought clothes for the baby?""Yeah, I got some clothes already.""What colors? Let me see." Joel was curious.Eunice asked Courtney to bring the clothes for Joel to see. Most of them were pink and yellow.Joel chuckled. "You don't know the baby's gender, right?""No." Eunice shook her head.Joel smiled and said, "Well, I'll tell you now. You bought the wrong clothes. The little one in your belly is a boy."Eunice was stunned upon being told the baby's gender in advance. "My baby is a boy?""Yes. He'll be out soon, so it doesn't matter if I tell you now." Joel put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, looking tall and handsome."Oh, I bought all the wrong clothes," Eunice said regretfully. Perhaps baby clothes for girls were more beautiful and ad
In just a minute, Eunice was writhing in pain on the bed, curled up like a frozen shrimp.Yasmin went over and held her hand. "Eunice, if it hurts, just squeeze my hand tightly…"Eunice gripped Yasmin's hand so hard it felt like she could crush her bones.Yasmin felt Eunice's pain, and her eyes filled with tears. She hadn't expected childbirth to be this painful. She comforted Eunice, "Eunice, it's okay. It's okay…"The doctor arrived quickly and examined Eunice, confirming that she was indeed having contractions.The doctor said, "Ms. Salle, don't scream during contractions. Breathe deeply, conserve your energy, and save your strength for delivery later.""I can't take it… Ah…" Eunice was in so much pain that she rolled around on the bed. Her belly felt like it was contracting tightly as if something was trying to break out of it. She pounded the bed in agony.The doctor pressed Eunice down. "Ms. Salle, don't move around. Take deep breaths and try to relax. Breathe in deeply…
