“When you were pregnant, wasn’t your husband also doing this? He guarded you 24 hours a day and even wanted to follow you when you went to the bathroom.”
Georgia blushed.
“That is not true! We didn’t stick together like Byron and Cora.”
“I remember that after you gave birth, Efren left the baby to us and ignored it. He just stared at you all day long.”
The Hansen elders spared no effort, and Georgia was defeated.
“Forget it. I am not good at debating.
So I won’t stay as a third wheel.”
As soon as Georgia left, the Hansen elders also left. Only Byron and Cora were in the ward.
Byron excitedly arranged for the prenatal checkup.
“We will do these checkups when it is more stabilized. By the way, I heard that we need to build a file and do nuchal translucency”
Byron communicated with Efren just now, and Efren told Byron about the checkups Georgia had done before. When Cora heard it, she felt a little headache.
“That is after the first three months of pregnancy.”
Byron was confused.
But Cora didn’t know that Byron made arrangements quickly. The next morning, Sunda Maternity and Children’s Hospital was established quietly. Soon, countless obstetrics and gynecology experts at home and abroad were invited to this hospital for consultation. A variety of the most advanced instruments worldwide had also been purchased into the hospital one after another. When Cora was three months pregnant, the hospital was put into use. In other words, this was a hospital specially established for Cora’s pregnancy. The news was exposed on the Internet, and the whole Internet talked about it. [No wonder Byron is the richest man. He established Sunda Group when he had a crush on his wife and built Sunda Maternity and Children’s Hospital when his wife was pregnant.] [When I was pregnant, my husband thought I spent too much on a B??ltrasonography. Look at Cora’s husband. He built a hospital when Cora was pregnant. Comparisons are odious.]
[Compared to Mr. Hansen, my husband is just a piece of junk in the trash can. I should mention my husband here.] When countless women exclaimed that Byron was the benchmark for all husbands, the men also complained. [I am almost penniless.
How can I be compared with Mr. Hansen? He can’t spend all his money in centuries?] [How many Mr. Hansen are there in this world? If all of you can find a husband like Mr. Hansen, I will eat an iron pot.] When the two parties were debating, Sunda Group made a statement on the establishment of Sunda Maternity and Children’s Hospital. First, this hospital was indeed built for the convenience of Cora’s prenatal checkups and safety during pregnancy. Second, the hospital would not be abandoned after Cora gave birth but would open to the public as a non??rofit welfare institution for pregnant women and children. Third, Byron emphasized that everything he did was nothing more than a husband protecting his wife and child, and he didn’t think of being a benchmark as a husband! As soon as this statement came out, it caused quite a stir. [If I had Mr. Hansen’s financial and material resources, I would go too far when my wife was pregnant. I would keep the obstetrician at home to ensure her safety at all times so that she would not have a miscarriage.] [Every expression of Mr. Hansen’s love is extraordinary. Dr.
Lane is the happiest woman in the world.] [Look carefully. This is a non??rofit welfare organization! In this way, ordinary people can also enjoy high??nd maternity equipment in the future. What Mr. Hansen did benefits everyone!] The netizens began another day to envy Cora. At this time, Cora didn’t know that she was being discussed by netizens again and began to look through the names and registered symptoms of people who had made appointments in the medical clinic during this period. She was still worried about those patients. During her rest, their treatments might be delayed, and it could be life??hreatening. So one day, when Byron brought her breakfast, she couldn’t help saying,
“I have nothing to do at home. Why don’t you let me return to the medical clinic for consultation.”
“No, you don’t rest when you get busy. What if you get tired and faint again?”
After Byron put the breakfast in front of Cora, he pinched her face and rejected her request.
“But what if my patients get worse during this period? Just let me go. I promise to rest when I’m tired.”
Cora begged sincerely. But Byron didn’t give in, so Cora was angry and refused to eat breakfast…
“If you don’t eat, the baby will be hungry.”
Byron could only patiently coax her. During this period, Cora’s skin became fairer and more delicate, and with Nora and Sara taking care of her, she became a bit more chubby than before. While others might experience a decline in appearance during pregnancy, Cora seemed to become even more beautiful. Besides, she seemed gentler, and her tender look tempted Byron whenever he saw her. Though the doctor advised him that they could have sex gently, Byron still held back his desire, fearing any accidents. that could harm Cora and the baby. But He still tried his best to bear it, just for fear that something might happen to them. Now, seeing Cora protesting and refusing to eat, Byron had to feed her by himself. He coaxed,
“Here, look. Isn’t it the same ravioli you wanted to eat from that restaurant? Try it. After I called them yesterday, I had the chef learn how to make it.”
Byron blew the ravioli on the spoon and offered it to Cora. The aroma was exactly the same as the one she had at the restaurant, extremely enticing. Cora knew very well how well Byron treated her. Whatever she desired would appear in her meals the very next day. Even if Byron were worried about the safety of outside food, he would have the chef learn to cook it and make exactly the same dish for her. Cora was very touched by his care and really wanted to try the ravioli. But at the same time, she couldn’t help but think about all those desperate patients who had placed their hopes on her but couldn’t receive treatment due to her recent sick leave. Suddenly, her appetite waned.
“Are you really not eating? It tastes so good.”
Byron was still savoring the ravioli himself, hoping to tempt her to give in. Cora couldn’t help but swallow her saliva while seeing Byron enjoying the ravioli so much. But she gritted her teeth and persisted, trying not to look at how he was enjoying his food. In the end, it was Byron who surrendered. He stuffed the plate in Cora’s hands and ordered seriously,
“Eat it, and I’ll let you go.”
“Really?”
Cora asked in disbelief. She knew better than anyone how difficult it was to make Byron change his mind. Byron said,
“If you ask me again, I’ll go against my words.”
Cora didn’t dare to ask any further and quickly lowered her head to eat the raviolis. Seeing Cora wolfing down the food, afraid that she might change her mind, Byron couldn’t help but feel helpless.
“Hey, easy. I won’t change my mind.”
Though he strongly opposed Cora continuing to work at the hospital during this time, he had to give in. Her mood was important, especially when he thought of her carrying Martin and suffering from depression because of his fake death. Byron now believed that letting her be happy was the most important matter. And so, that afternoon, Cora returned to the medical clinic to work. The news made her patients incredibly happy. Those who had made appointments early arrived at the clinic first thing in the morning. However, when it was time for their consultations, they found another man in Cora’s treatment room beside her, who was busily reviewing documents and exuded a distinct aura of superiority. Feeling like they were undergoing inspection by their superior, a patient couldn’t help but mutter,
“Dr. Lane, I’m here to receive treatments, but why do I feel more nervous than facing my boss?”
Cora frowned and glanced at Byron, who was busy reviewing documents. She hadn’t expected that while agreeing to let her return to the medical clinic, he would also set up his office there. Now, her small clinic not only had to accommodate a large number of patients but also executives from Sunda Group and Hansen Group coming to report on various projects. The influx of people made Cora irritated, and she noticed that some of the patients felt uneasy, especially when they saw Byron. When seeing Cora’s dissatisfied look, Byron glanced at that patient and made him even more nervous.
“If you don’t want to get treated, you can go somewhere else then,”
Byron had empathy, but not much, especially for patients who loved to gossip unnecessarily. It took him a long time to finally let Cora come to the clinic. If they truly wanted medical advice, they should just let Cora diagnose and prescribe for them without too much chit??hat. Cora couldn’t help but speak up,
“Byron!”
He handed her some fruits and said,
“Am I wrong? If he really wants treatment, he can just let you diagnose and prescribe. All this chatter not only wastes time for other patients but also disrupts your rest.”
Though annoyed, Cora had to admit that Byron had a point. These patients liked to ask questions and often chatted with her. She could deal with one person continuously saying these nonsense. But if every patient were like this, they would only waste her time. And as a result, the other patients’ appointments would be delayed, and Cora couldn’t have a good rest either. After being reprimanded by Byron, the patient didn’t dare to complain anymore, for fear that he would be kicked out and delayed his treatment. Having learned from the previous patient’s experience, the others kept their conversations focused on their symptoms, allowing Cora to diagnose and prescribe medicine efficiently. By the end of the day, she had seen more patients than in the past two days, with sufficient rest in between. Thus, Cora thought that maybe it was better to have Byron accompanying her. The days were rushing, and in a blink of an eye, Cora’s due date had finally come. As her due date approached, Cora finished seeing urgent cases and went on maternity leave. Drawing from her experience giving birth to Martin, she remained relatively calm during this pregnancy. But Byron was different. As the due date neared, his anxiety intensified. For the past two days, he abandoned all work and stayed by Cora’s side, never taking his eyes off her. At the slightest movement from Cora, he rushed over, asking,
“Are you in labor?”
One day, Cora was watching TV on the sofa, and Byron sat on another sofa. When she shifted her position, he immediately hurried over and asked,
“Are you in labor?”
“No, I just have a sore back and need to take a break,”
Her belly had grown significantly in the late stage of pregnancy, but her limbs remained slender. At a glance, it seemed as if there was a ball stuffed into her belly, and she still looked pretty good overall. However, the pressure from the baby made her back quite uncomfortable, and it was hard to maintain one position for more than a few minutes.
“I’ll give you a massage,”
Byron offered, placing his hand gently on her waist…
Cora saw Byron’s cautious look and couldn’t help but comfort him,
“It’s alright. I feel fine for now, and I don’t have any difficulty breathing. I feel much more comfortable than when I gave birth to Martin. You don’t have to be so nervous!”
Hearing Cora mentioning her previous childbirth, Byron couldn’t help but ask,
“Was your belly this big back then too?”
If he hadn’t witnessed Cora’s belly growing day by day, he wouldn’t have believed that her once flat belly could expand so much.
“I had a bit of swelling back then, and it seemed even bigger than this. My feet were swollen too,”
Cora recalled, and her expression softened when she thought about the time when Martin was born. She seemed much gentler when she remembered how soft and cute he was. Byron, on the other hand, couldn’t help but think about how she used to live in an old neighbourhood in Leucrest Town, and her building didn’t even have an elevator. And every day, she had to go to work and buy supplies. After she returned home, she had to climb several flights of stairs with her huge belly…
Now, with her belly this big, she often felt out of breath at night and had to sit to sleep. But back then, her belly was even bigger, and she was all alone. How desperate she must have felt in the dead of night! Every time he thought about those times, Byron’s heart felt as if it were being torn apart into pieces. Even if he were wealthy, he couldn’t go back to those days and be with her, accompanying her through those difficult times. All he could do was cherish every moment now and make her feel comfortable and at ease.
“After this one, we won’t have any more children. Watching you struggle so much every day made me regret letting you get pregnant again,”
Byron said, embracing Cora gently around her waist. Cora smiled. Seeing how anxious he had been lately, unable to sleep at night, she didn’t dare to have another child either. She was afraid he might have a heart attack! At that moment, Sara, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen and asked,
“Cora, should I add something else to the mixed salad?”
Seeing Cora being embraced by Byron, she thought something was happening.
“Are you in labor? I’ll call your father, and we’ll go to the hospital right away!”
In the late stages of pregnancy, both Sara and William were so anxious that they moved into Cora and Byron’s villa to stay with them. Sara even took the initiative to cook some nutritious meals for Cora. In any case, they wanted to make it up to Cora. Although they knew that doing so wouldn’t change anything, they did it without hesitation. Outside the villa, William was growing vegetables and fruits in a small glass greenhouse. When he heard Sara’s voice, he hurriedly rushed in.
“Is it time? I’ll, I’ll drive,”
William said, about to run outside. Cora quickly stopped him,
“Dad, I’m not in labor yet. My back. is just a bit sore, and he’s helping me with it.”
Hearing this, both Sara and William breathed a sigh of relief. William said,
“I’ve been dreaming about you giving birth every night recently; I can hardly tell dreams from reality anymore.”
Cora laughed and reassured him,
“Dad, there’s no need to be so nervous.”
Rubbing his temples, William said,
“How can I not be nervous? You’re my daughter!”
Sara quickly pushed William into the kitchen, saying,
“Go check if the food is ready!”
“I can’t cook. What’s the point to let me check the food?”
William replied, puzzled. It was only when Sara cornered him in the kitchen that William understood her true intentions…
“Cora’s about to give birth, and even though she appears calm, she must be very anxious. Giving birth is like going through the gates of hell for women. When you’re with her, don’t show too much nervousness; otherwise, she’ll feel even more anxious,”
Sara advised William. William understood her intentions and quickly nodded in agreement.
“I understand. I’ll try my best not to show anxiety.”
Satisfied with his response, Sara continued to busy herself in the kitchen. William looked at her from behind. After a long while, he said,
“I’m sorry…”
“Why are you apologizing to me? If you want to apologize, do it to Cora!”
Sara replied without looking back.
“No, I’m apologizing to you. I owe you an apology. If it weren’t for me, getting fooled by Flora, you and Cora wouldn’t have ended up like this,”
William recalled how Sara used to be gentle before they got married. But after she found out about his dealings with Flora, she became sharp and caustic. Now, seeing Sara in the kitchen, taking care of dinner for their daughter, she resembled the gentle woman she once was. So William couldn’t help but wonder if Flora had never meddled in their relationship, would he and Sara live a different life? But Sara said,
“Regret won’t change anything now. Let’s just focus on living well in the future.”
Hearing Sara’s words, William knew that she had forgiven him. With tears in his eyes, he quickly said,
“Okay. We’ll live a happy life in the future.”
At 10 o’clock at night, Byron had prepared toothpaste and a toothbrush for Cora and was about to call her to brush her teeth and sleep. But suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the bedroom,
“Honey, my water broke!”
Upon hearing this, Byron threw the toothpaste and toothbrush aside and rushed to the bedroom. Upon hearing that Cora’s situation was urgent, Byron naturally couldn’t dwell on it and just instructed,
“Please make sure Cora is safe.”
“Mr. Hansen, please rest assured. We will do our best.”
Soon, the door to the operating room was closed. Byron, still wearing the indoor slippers he forgot to change, paced back and forth in front of the operating room, unable to calm down. William was busy examining the data of Cora’s examination just now while Sara was praying to various deities, hoping they would protect Cora and the baby. Thirty minutes later, Osborn, Nora, and Georgia also arrived. But the doors of the operating room remained tightly closed, and everyone was too nervous to speak. The man standing in front of the operating room, staring at the surgical light all this time, looked so sinister that they were worried he might do something terrible if irritated.
Finally, a baby’s cry echoed from the operating room, and everyone’s faces lit up with joy.
