Chapter 1209: 1209. It’s ti to give birth.
lody Baker and her daughter, Sophie Baker, despite Jas Campbell’s maneuvers, found that the Judge had no intention of reducing their sentences. They were judged as the law prescribed.
The Baker won, in partnership with Benjamin Forest, had orchestrated a car accident, but because Sophie had subjectively saved Lily Jones during the event, Lily was left unhard.
Nevertheless, since the preditated act of murder had been carried out, and the intent hadn’t been rescinded by the principal conspirator, the case proved complex to judge.
Compounded by Benjamin Forest’s involvent, in the end, both mbers of the Baker family were sentenced to over ten years of fixed-term imprisonnt.
Everything had, for the ti being, settled down.
Months had swiftly passed by, and it was now at the height of the sweltering sumr.
Perhaps due to her pregnancy, Elly Campbell found the heat particularly unbearable.
Even with the air conditioning set very low, she still felt intensely hot.
“Young Miss, it’s so hot outside, let the driver pick up the Young Master today. You don’t need to go,” Gloria suggested.
Despite it being sumr vacation, William Campbell was still enrolled in a sumr class.
Today was the last day of the sumr course, and Elly intended to pick up her son herself.
Just as she was about to reject the idea, she suddenly felt her belly tighten.
“Hisss~”
She let out a hiss of pain instinctively, a sensation like a tightened muscle in her abdon. It wasn’t extrely painful, but her belly was taut, and soon after, the tight feeling disappeared.
“What’s wrong, Young Miss?”
Having already given birth to William, Elly knew what this ant.
She looked at Gloria, not particularly panicked, “I’m going to give birth.”
Since the baby had been easy on her from pregnancy to birth, she wasn’t too scared even now that the ti had co.
It was her casual “I’m about to give birth” that truly frightened Gloria.
“The Young Miss is going to give birth! Quick, call the Young Master!”
“I’ll go upstairs to wake the old Mada!”
Elly: “…”
Even the person about to deliver was not in a rush.
It could take hours from the first reaction to full dilation; she might not give birth until the evening or even the next day.
Totally unbothered, Elly calmly took a shower, changed into a set of casual clothes while Gloria and the old Mada panicked.
“Honey, I’m back!”
Just as she reached the top of the stairs, she saw Adam Jones, sweating profusely, rush into the living room.
Seeing Elly at the staircase entrance, he didn’t relax at all.
“Don’t be afraid, honey, don’t panic. Everything has been arranged at the hospital. Don’t worry, I’ll be with you the whole ti,” he said.
Elly: “…”
It seed he was the one who was afraid.
Watching him, with his sweaty brow and his hands cold as ice, she knew how scared he truly was.
Though he was trying to comfort her, his trembling voice gave away his fear.
Elly, amused yet touched by Adam Jones, embraced his tall figure, saying:
“Don’t be afraid, I’m not.”
“I’m not afraid either.”
Elly: “…”
Fine, fine, the one shaking while talking isn’t you!
“Honey, let’s go to the hospital now.”
Actually, the pain had subsided quickly, and Elly thought that the true labor might not start until tomorrow.
But considering how Adam looked, if she said she wasn’t going to the hospital now, he’d probably carry her there himself.
So, she just let him have his way.
It was most likely going to happen in a couple of days anyway; staying at the hospital for one night was no big deal.
Turns out, she had still underestimated the baby’s capabilities.
