Chapter 595 - Five Hundred And Ninety-Five: The Baby Is Impatient
Erald was not happy about letting Cecil go to that gathering. He knew it was just the won to chill - and gossip - but he was not comfortable with it.?Cecil was in her last and critical sester and it was his duty as her husband to protect her.
Erald sighed, letting her go was probably a good idea because he got a chance to unwind as well. Perhaps, the reason she had been cranky lately was that she felt cooped up. His overprotectiveness might have done more harm than good.
Thankfully, he fought against the urge to follow after her and instead assigned soone to watch and keep her safe. He would not forgive anyone if sothing happens to Cecil or his baby.
Right now, he was at Sakuzi's place and currently watching the fight coming on.
"Don't you think you're being too hard on her?" He asked, watching as that woman called Maggie being thrown over Andrew's shoulder, her ass landing on the bare ground.
"She demanded it," Sakuzi said, trying to lit a cigarette.
"Really?" Erald was surprised and then, his eyes flickered to Sakuzi erging with a lighter to lit a cigarette. He snatched the cigarette from the man's mouth and stamped it under his feet till it was dirtied.
Sakuzi threw his hand up, "What was that for?"
"You should stop smoking, it's bad for your health,"
Sakuzi grumbled under his breath, "You don't tell an old man what to do," already providing another cigarette from his pocket.
"I'll tell Nadia then," Erald inford him.
"I won't smoke again then," so please don't tell her, Sakuzi's pleading was obvious.
Apart from Reina, Sakuzi feared his now- togther-with ex-wife. The woman's anger was hot enough to burn the world. In none word, he'd rather experience Reina's anger than his ex-wife's.
Having reached an agreent without many words spoken, the both of them focused on the fight.
"She has a strong will to survive," Erald observed the fight, and each ti Maggie was tossed to the ground, she was back on her feet within seconds.
"Why do you think I let her in the first place," Sakuzi told him, holding his gaze.
Erald understood his words. Most won were too fragile to last in the gangs because their agenda changes anyti they fall in love - they would want out of the gang. Maggie was the first woman Sakuzi was letting in for years.
His attention was suddenly drawn to the way Sakuzi fingers twitched and he would unconsciously reach for his pocket, only to let it down after a few seconds - probably rembering his threat of telling Nadia. Those were the habits of addicted smokers.
So he reached for his pocket and brought out a lollipop, handing it over to him, saying, "Anyti you crave for a smoke, try this instead. It's therapeutic,"
Sakuzi stared down at the lollipop amused, "Really? Sugar at my age?"
However, Erald said, "Diabetes is better than kidney and heart failure,"
"I can always find a transplant," Sakuzi argued.
"Not if you die before the surgery," Erald was firm, "Make sure you take these or else -"
"You'll tell Nadia, yes, yes," He rolled his eyes.
"Tell what?"
Speak of the devil.
Sakuzi turned around with forced enthusiasm, "Honey, you're back!" he went over to hug her.
But Nadia was not bought over by his deliberate act, "You have sothing to tell , don't you?"
Sakuzi gulped, he was done for today. However, before he had the chance to explain, Erald's phone rang.
"What?!" Erald scread almost imdiately, "The baby is coming?!"
"The baby is coming?!" they heard everything, that even Maggie and her trainer, Andrew stopped their fight imdiately.
"Fine," Erald tried to calm down, "Where is she now?" He asked Emily - she was the one who called to inform him of the situation.
"What hospital is she at? What? There's a little problem?"
This ti, Sakuzi and Nadia had leaned so close to Erald that they could hear the ongoing call.
"The baby's too impatient?! Cecil's delivering in a restaurant?! Are you fucking kidding !"
He knew it! She shouldn't have gone to that restaurant. Perhaps, his instinct as a father had been tingling all along, heralding the coming of his child. He should have listened, obeyed the signs. Now, he prays nothing happens to his child.
"Fine, I'm coming right away!" He ended the call instantly and turned to Sakuzi and his wife.
"Tell there's a midwife here?" Erald asked, even though he knew they wouldn't be able to make it to the restaurant on ti - Emily told him the baby's head was out already. But then, he couldn't be a useless father, he had to do sothing.
"This is a gang, not a hospital, Erald," Nadia reminded him.
"Fuck this!" Erald cursed, "I'm leaving," He almost left him but Sakuzi was quick to stop him.
"No, you can't drive in this state. I'll be the one to drive you,"
"No -"
"Your baby can't be fatherless before he's even born," Sakuzi hinted that he might have an accident on the way thanks to his anxiety.
There was an authority in Sakuzi's voice and Erald knew better than to defy his order. He might be Sakuzi's successor but until then, Sakuzi was still in power.
"Fine, let's go," Erald was in a hurry knowing that every minute they spent idly, things could go wrong.
"I'll co along too," Andrew said.
"No, you're not -"
"You're currently vulnerable and your enemies - our enemies - might see this as a good chance to attack. I'll be there to offer protection, don't tell no," Andrew insisted.
"Fine, tag along," Erald let him in reluctantly. Inwardly, he knew Andre was right. A spy in their midst could tip off their enemy of the situation who would then hurt… Erald couldn't even think of the scene where Cecil or his baby was hurt.. He would send whoever touches his family to Hell and he sure hoped he wasn't too late.
