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…
Eunice looked at the obstetricians.Joel interjected, "We can't do that. Eunice's vital signs are suitable for natural birth. We can't just change to a C-section. It'll cause more harm to her body.""But she's in so much pain! Is that okay?" Mortimer's tone grew heavy. Those who knew him well could tell he was upset."If the pain is too much, we can administer an epidural later.""Give it to her now!" Mortimer ordered, his face cold.Joel looked helpless. "Mortimer, the epidural should be given when the cervix is dilated to 4 cm. Eunice has just started having contractions. It's not time yet."Yasmin was shocked.Eunice was already in so much pain, yet the dilation was not even at one inch and above. How much worse would it be when it reached 4 inches?Eunice cried even harder. She was in so much pain, but it was only the beginning. She felt like she couldn't go on.Hearing Eunice cry, Mortimer grew anxious again. His usually emotionless face was filled with worry. "Eunice, do
Eunice's tears flowed even more as she said, "It really hurt just now.""And now?"Eunice assessed her pain and realized the epidural must have taken effect, as she felt significantly better. She pouted pitifully and said, "It's a lot better after the epidural. It doesn't hurt as much…""That's good." Mortimer breathed a sigh of relief.Joel, who was standing nearby, suggested, "While Eunice hasn't started delivering yet, let her eat some sweets to replenish her energy. The real challenge is yet to come.""Alright." Mortimer took the sweet and carefully unwrapped it before gently bringing it to Eunice's mouth. "Eunice, eat this."Eunice took a bite, then cried again. She didn't understand why she was crying. Perhaps seeing someone she trusted made her emotional."Eunice, eat a bit more." Mortimer, who was usually a sophisticated and calm man, wiped away her tears and fed her another one.Standing by, Yasmin couldn't help but feel touched by Mortimer's gentleness.After finishi
They waited and waited.At 3:00 am, Yasmin asked Joel, "How's Eunice? Hasn't the baby been born yet?"Joel made a phone call to inquire and reported back, "She's still in labor."Yasmin sighed deeply, realizing just how challenging childbirth could be.At 7:00 am, a nurse finally came out with good news. "Congratulations! Ms. Salle has given birth to a baby boy at 7:01 am. Both mother and child are doing well."Yasmin felt a huge relief wash over her. The labor lasted a full six hours, during which she waited anxiously and sleepily outside. She dared not fall asleep, forcing herself to stay awake for any news.Now knowing that Eunice was alright, Yasmin felt relieved and tried to stand up to ask the nurse about Eunice's condition. However, she nearly fell as her legs gave out from under her.Blake swiftly caught her and held her in his warm embrace. "Be careful.""My legs are numb," Yasmin replied, then asked the nurse, "When can Eunice come out? Should we prepare some brown su
By the time they woke up, it was already late afternoon.Yasmin stretched lazily and basked in the lazy afternoon sunlight, feeling like she had transcended into another world.She got out of bed, put on her house slippers, and walked into the living room.Blake was sitting at the dining table, working on his laptop. His shirt sleeves were rolled up slightly, and his high nose bridge was highlighted under the sunlight, casting a particularly handsome and charming profile.Yasmin paused in her steps. "You're still here?""I slept late last night, so I'm working from home today," Blake explained. Seeing her awake, he asked, "Are you hungry? I can make something for you.""No. I'll just have some milk."Yasmin walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. It was fully stocked with meat and vegetables that Blake had sent over.She frowned. Was he planning to move in? Why else would he have so much food delivered?She felt a bit frustrated as she grabbed a bottle of cold
"I couldn't help it." Blake smiled, stroking Yasmin's long hair. "Wait for me at home. I'll be back soon."Yasmin's expression didn't change, but her delicate features made her look adorable. Blake chuckled and covered her with a thin blanket before leaving.After Blake left, Yasmin let out a soft sigh. She really didn't want to reconcile with Blake. She was just too tired to refuse him. He was like a sticky gum that couldn't be shaken off.Yasmin thought it would be best to wait until the day he decided not to pursue her anymore.…Blake returned around 7:00 pm, holding a bouquet of white roses.He had successfully bid on the purple diamond and had already sent it to be crafted into a piece of jewelry.Feeling cheerful, he entered the house, removed his shoes at the entrance, and imagined Yasmin's delighted expression upon seeing the flowers. He couldn't help but smile. "Yaz," he called out.The lights were on, but no one answered."Yaz." Blake walked into the bedroom. Th
