Hilla and Bruce returned to River City on the first day of the year.
Although they didn’t want to leave, there was nothing they could do.
Margaret could only watch them leave, and she told Hilla to co over when she gave birth.
Hilla nodded with a smile and got in the car with Bruce.
"Mom, why don’t you co back with them?" Margaret asked.
She looked at Orlenna, puzzled.
Margaret thought that since Orlenna was so impatient with her, why didn’t she just leave her alone here and co back with Bruce.
She had been scolded by Orlenna every day, so she wondered if her baby would be scared of soone like she did in the future.
Orlenna gave her an angry look and snorted, "I like to live in my other son’s house. Not your business."
"Son? Julian is just a son-in-law. It’s not the sa, okay?" Margaret retorted.
But Orlenna just ignored what she said.
It was obvious that Orlenna didn’t want to argue with Margaret.
Margaret’s belly was becoming more and more obvious. The only person she could talk to was Riya, who was also pregnant.
The two pregnant won were enjoying the sunshine in the suburban villa. Because their babies were coming, their husbands wouldn’t let them go far.
It was May now. And their babies were due.
As the ti approached, the house was full of servants. The two of them were well taken care of.
Riya touched the mask on her face and looked at Margaret.
"You are so weird. You are also pregnant. But my skin is getting darker, and there are pimples on it. You never care about your skin, but you still look good," Riya complained.
Margaret looked healthy, with pink-and-white cheeks.
Because of her pregnancy, Orlenna cooked so much delicious food every day, so Margaret gained weight, looking a little chubby.
Riya found that even more unpleasant.
She had also eaten a lot of nutritious food.
She turned to look at the kitchen where Stefan was preparing soup for her.
The ti was near, and the ti Stefan stayed at ho was longer than that in the company. Did he want to be a Manny?
Margaret said proudly, "You are jealous!
Julian has said that, too. He couldn’t get his hands off recently and wants to cuddle with every day."
Riya looked at her as being so narcissistic and got goosebumps.
So disgusting! She wanted to tease Margaret.
"Don’t be too charming, or Julian can’t control himself, and then you two will welco your baby in advance," Riya said.
"Jealous!" Margaret snorted.
She thought that Riya was just jealous.
Stefan didn’t like her anymore because she beca ugly after getting pregnant.
And Stefan barely caressed her, so she was getting so grumpy!
Riya rolled her eyes and did not respond to Margaret’s words.
Riya touched her belly and thought that it was only a week away and why there was still no sign.
Margaret signed and frowned, "The baby often presses on my stomach. Is my baby hungry and blaming for not eating enough?"
Riya rolled her eyes again.
She thought,
Margaret retorted, "Anyway, I will deliver my baby ahead of you."
Riya found that funny and thought, "Why were you so sure that you would deliver first and the baby was a boy."
After dinner, they lay on the sofa as usual. Looking at the busy figures in the kitchen, Margaret could not help saying, "Is Mr. Key not busy? Is the Key Group closing?"
If Stefan went bankrupt, Riya would go crazy.
Riya glared at her and said, "You are so an. What do you know? Stefan is concerned about and afraid that it is not safe for to be alone. The accident is unpredictable. Unlike your Mr. Jorgansen, he doesn’t care even if you go out when your baby is coming."
Margaret stood up angrily, hearing soone speak ill of her husband.
"Nonsense. Julian is the sweetest guy in the world," Margaret said.
After saying that, she imdiately frowned.
She was staring at Riya while she felt sothing wrong.
Riya was shocked and said, "Are you alright? Don’t scare ."
Margaret looked serious, frowning. She seed to feel uncomfortable, which scared Riya.
Riya shouted at the people in the kitchen, "Stefan, Stefan, co over."
It was good to have n at ho. If sothing happened, she could just call for help.
Margaret frowned and said to Riya, "My belly aches."
She looked painful.
It was hard to bear.
Riya looked down and saw that Margaret’s water was broken, and she was so frightened that her face turned pale.
"You, you’re not going to give birth, are you?" Riya asked.
What should she do? She had no experience. She had only heard of it but never experienced it.
Although she had learned sothing from the teacher, she knew that it was different from practicing it. It was really difficult.
Hearing the voice, Stefan ca out of the kitchen and quickly made a call. In the hospital!
Margaret held the doctor’s hand and bit it when the pain ca.
Orlenna moved her head away and said, "Margaret! You can’t bite like a dog."
"Mom, it hurts," Margaret groaned.
She cried when she saw her mom.
She was in pain.
Orlenna had her heart broken. She wiped Margaret’s tears and said, "It’s fine, it’s fine. Mom is here. You will be okay."
Margaret looked away. Orlenna knew what she was looking for and said, "Don’t worry. Julian was in the car. He will be here soon."
"But the baby is coming out," Margaret said.
She pouted and cried out, holding Orlenna’s hand when another wave of pain ca.
"Mom, will the baby be smarter if I have a normal birth?" she mumbled.
Orlenna did not hear what she said and just nodded.
"Yes, yes, yes, stop shouting," Orlenna answered.
Her heart was racing when Margaret shouted out.
Orlenna was nervous and anxious when Hilla was giving birth, while when Margaret was doing so, why she was getting so fidgety.
"It hurts. Is the baby coming out?" Margaret asked.
She gritted her teeth. This was how they acted on TV. As long as the heroin shouted out, the baby would co out.
Orlenna looked at the doctor standing there. The doctor had kept frowning after he had his hand bitten.
The ti had not co yet.
Won felt the pain earlier with the first baby, but the pain didn’t an that the baby would co out soon. Sotis when they felt the pain, the cervix was not open yet.
"The water has broken. Get ready for a cesarean section operation," the doctor said.
Margaret shook her head, hearing that they would perform a C-section and leave a scar on her belly.
"No, I want to deliver my baby by myself," Margaret refused.
The scar on the belly was ugly. She had seen it when Halle and Hilla had had the cesarean section.
So, she wanted a natural birth.
...
In the hospital.
A pregnant woman was crying hysterically. It had been an hour, and the doctor was still shaking his head.
The doctor couldn’t get close to her.
Margaret didn’t let him check her. The doctor didn’t know what to do at this point.
Julian’s face darkened. He stared at the doctor intensely as if he was going eat him.
The doctor put down the things in his hands. "We should schedule her a C-section. It could be dangerous if the baby stays in there for too long."
Moreover, the fetal heart rate was not stable.
However, Margaret heard the doctor, and she shouted, "No, I already went through so much pain, and I couldn’t stop here. I heard kids from natural labor are smarter."
The doctor quickly explained, "That might not be the case, but..."
Before the doctor could finish, Orlenna interrupted, "Let’s do C-section."
Julian’s face was cold. He pursed his lips and did not speak for a while.
Mr. Jorgansen, who had always been decisive in the company, was also very nervous when his wife was giving birth.
On one side, Margaret insisted on natural labor, and on the other side was the doctor’s warning.
This was harder than signing a contract.
His hands were clenched into fists. When the doctor looked over, the man said coldly, "We can do an epidural."
Epidural.
The doctor was stunned for a mont. Orlenna couldn’t take it any longer.
"Forget it. She was already on an analgesia pump, but she still scread like soone was about to kill her. Don’t waste ti anymore. Let’s go for C-section."
As ti passed, Margaret and the baby would both be in danger. If she could give birth right now, it would have happened already.
Margaret sat up from the bed and said, "Mom, I want to have a natural labor."
It was too late for her to go back to C-section now.
"What are you talking about? This child is so big. How could you do that?"
The doctor just told them the baby was too big for natural labor.
She had told Margaret to control her weight, but she wouldn’t listen.
Not only did she eat a lot, but she also slept a lot.
She didn’t even exercise during her pregnancy, and now she wanted to try natural labor?
That was impossible.
Then, Orlenna turned to Julian, "You should sign it."
Julian pursed his lips and pondered for a while before he finally spoke, "My hand is shaking."
Because his hands were shaking uncontrollably, he couldn’t even hold a pen.
Orlenna glanced at him and thought that he was useless.
Margaret pulled Julian, "It hurts so much."
It was so painful that she almost bit the doctor’s hand. And they had to change her doctor for the surgery.
Just as Orlenna was about to sign, a voice ca from the next door.
Margaret was stunned when she heard the woman’s cry.
"Is it Riya? Is she giving birth too?"
Julian looked at Margaret’s pained expression and nodded.
He wanted to wipe away the sweat on her forehead, but Margaret slapped him away.
Margaret shouted to the doctor, "I don’t want to give birth anymore. I want a C-section. Our baby has to co earlier than hers."
She suddenly changed her mind.
The doctor was still in a daze. That was quick and random.
"Mom, hurry up and sign. I want to go in for the surgery."
She was the one who had grabbed the door fra and refused to let the doctor in.
And now, she was rushing to get a C-section.
Orlenna was so angry that her signature was crooked.
If it weren’t for the fact that she was giving birth to a child right now, she would have scolded her in front of everyone.
Julian was left alone, and he looked awkward. Then he heard Margaret shout, "Get out of the way. You’re blocking from giving birth."
Julian was standing right at the door, and he didn’t notice because he was too nervous.
He was only focusing on Margaret.
When he heard Margaret’s voice, he subconsciously moved aside.
Then he heard Margaret mutter,
"Bastard! You couldn’t help to give birth, and now you are blocking my way to give birth at the best ti."
Julian didn’t know what to say.
He couldn’t be much of a help in this case, even if he tried.
Orlenna finally finished signing. However, the doctor beside them said, "Dr. Leeds is already in the delivery room next door. We still need to wait for another doctor."
Julian imdiately turned around and said coldly, "This is a big hospital. Do you guys only have one capable doctor?"
The doctor said angrily,
"Isn’t this your wife’s fault? She bit two doctors, and they couldn’t perform surgery for a week!"
How could that lady bite a doctor’s hand? Didn’t she know how important hands are to a doctor?
If they can’t perform surgery, are you the only one experiencing inconvenience?
Julian pursed his lips and did not speak.
Orlenna was so angry that she kept silent either.
This kid always caused trouble even when she was about to give birth.
Fortunately, that doctor lived very close to the hospital. He got the call and rushed over imdiately.
Margaret got into the operating room successfully.
Not like natural labor, C-sections didn’t require pregnant won to cooperate.
The C-section operation takes about twenty minutes. When the operation finished, they heard the baby cry.
The nurse did so basic examination on the baby and then carried him out.
Julian was stunned for a second and was about to get up when the nurse said, "Riya’s family, congratulations, both mother and baby are safe. It’s a boy, six pounds."
Their family mbers suddenly gathered and blocked the delivery room door.
The Marley family got a newborn baby.
The grandfather laughed out loud.
However, Stefan didn’t look too happy. He grabbed the nurse and asked, "Where is my wife?"
"The doctors are cleaning her wounds, and she will be out soon."
Only then did he finally feel relieved and go over to check on the baby. "Too bad it’s a boy. You should let Riya have a girl next year." Stefan pursed his lips and nodded as he looked at his baby.
The corridor was filled with laughter.
Riya’s brother complinted, "Riya is amazing. That was so fast for natural labor. It wasn’t even fifteen minutes!"
The natural delivery could be very fast if the ti was right.
The crowd praised Riya again.
Orlenna couldn’t help but frown.
Why did they have to compare everything?
Margaret was so disappointing. She got into labor earlier and cried louder than Riya. But Riya’s child was already out, and I still heard nothing from you? In the next second, the operating room’s door opened.
The nurse ca out with a child in her arms.
Julian was about to get up, but he thought of what happened just now, so he asked, "Is Margaret the only one inside?"
He didn’t want to make mistakes again!
Orlenna frowned. There were many people in the waiting room, so the nurse could be looking for any of them.
No one ca up to her, so the nurse asked, "Is Margaret’s family here? She just gave birth..."
