Victoria was sent to the delivery room.
Jayden was so anxious that he walked back and forth at the door, he would sometimes take a glance inside, but there was no other sound else than Victoria's cry of pain.
Jolene walked over and consoled him, “Don't be so worried.“
Jayden turned his head and looked at her for a long time, in the end he didn't say anything.
He wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve the nervousness in his heart but he saw that there's a no smoking sign on the wall, so he forced himself to stop the thought of smoking.
Such suffering continued for more than 7 hours, because it was Victoria's first time giving birth, first time of uterus' openings were all relatively slower.
“Ah...”
Suddenly, There was a high-pitched sound from the delivery room, followed by a baby's cry.
Jayden's eyes lightened up, he excitedly said, “She has given birth?”
Jolene also heaved a sigh and said, “I suppose so.”
After another 10 minutes, the delivery room door was opened and a nurse carried the newborn baby out, “The delivery woman has given birth and it's a boy, born on 21 December, 7.20 A.M. with the weight of 3.25 kg.”
Jayden was very expectant, but at that time he didn't know how to describe his own feelings so he just stood still at his place.
Jolene stepped forward to take the child and said, “Thank you.”
“This is something that we should do, the mother of the child will be out in a moment.” after saying that, the nurse returned to the delivery room again and closed the door.
Jolene looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes with her gentle eyes, he's very small and weak, like she could end his life if she had used some strength.
It's her first time carrying a child too, so cautiously, she also felt that it's very wonderful, she walked up to Jayden, “Look, he's your child."
He’s still so small that they couldn't see his features, his little face was a bit crumpled but his hair was super black and dense.
Jayden lowered his head, because of the excitement, his face was so stiff and his hands slightly trembled, “Let me hug him.”
Jolene cautiously handed over the baby that she was carrying and advised him, “Be gentle, he's very fragile.”
Jayden was nervous to begin with, he became more nervous because she said that.
He took the baby over, his heart pounded so hard... He had a child, he became a father, it was like a dream but it was also very real, “He's my child.”
Jolene smiled and nodded, “Yes, he is your child, he has the same blood that flows in you, your blood is connected with his, and so you are father and son."
Jayden lifted his head and looked at Jolene, “It's all thanks to you that I can be a father in such a short time.”
Not sarcasm, not complaining, he's really thanking her.
Everything was inferior to the child's arrival, which soothed his unwillingness.
At that time, he was finally relieved.
He was looking at the baby in the swaddling clothes but he talked to Jolene instead, “I'm setting you free, let's handle the divorce process tomorrow.”
Jolene thought at heart, at that time, he had thought and seen her own heart clearly, right?
“You're so happy that you become stupid, huh?” Jolene glanced at him, “Getting a divorce right after the child is born, my brother would probably kill you.”
Jayden also smiled, yeah, he was overjoyed.
At that time, the door of delivery room was opened and someone pushed Victoria out, the obstetrician also walked out with her and smiled, “It's very successful, the mother of the child is tired now, she needs to rest, just go to the ward.”
“We have contacted another hospital, we'll stay there.” Jolene went over to carry the baby in Jayden's embrace, “We don't have much time.”
Jayden understood, gave the baby to her, then he bent over to carry the lethargic Victoria from the bed she was sleeping on, she had been in pain for the whole night so she's exhausted at that time.
Her body was all soft and weak.
