Robin looked at her and felt that she wasn’t joking. Thinking that something might have happened, she asked worriedly, “What’s wrong, Arianne? Are you alright? I’ve never seen you so panicked before…”
Arianne took a few deep breaths before regaining her composure. “My friend is going into labor right now. I’m both happy and excited! I need to head over there now, so I’ll leave the sketch to you. I’ll buy you a meal when I get back!”
Robin sighed in relief, asking, “Is it the lady whom we had lunch with the other day? Tiffany, if I’m not mistaken. I hadn’t expected her to go into labor so soon. No worries, I’ll take care of the work around here, you go on and head out. I had thought you were in some kind of trouble… If it’s a child about to be brought into this world, that’s a good thing.”
Giving birth was definitely a good thing, but had Arianne concerned was Tiffany’s safety, hence why she was more worried than happy.
When Arianne arrived at the hospital in a rush, Jackson’s family and Lillian had already arrived. All of them were standing in front of the operating theatre nervously, their faces were pale; even Jackson seemed to be trembling. It wasn’t until Jackson leaned against the wall that he managed to seem normal.
Arianne was initially as nervous as they were, but when she saw the same nervous expression on their faces on everyone’s faces, she found the situation slightly funny instead.
“Actually, it’s much safer to have a C-section. The risk of things going wrong is really miniscule, so there’s no need to be so nervous. Especially you, Jackson! Stop trembling already.”
Jackson gave an awkward cough and stammered out, “I-I… I’m not trembling… stop it. It’s only a child being born, why should I be nervous?”
Summer heard what Jackson had said and couldn’t help but nag him, even though she was just as nervous as him. “What do you mean by that? Just a child being born? Are you even humane? Tiffany is in there being cut open with knives and you’re so calm about it? If you weren’t trembling even more than I am, I would really love to smack you to release my anger.”
Arianne, on the other hand, had calmed down after arriving at the hospital. There were so many people who were worried for Tiffany, what good would it be for her to be worried too? Tiffany may have had a stroke of bad luck bumping into Ethan in the past. However, she was undoubtedly the happiest woman at present, all thanks to Jackson, who more than made up for all the unhappy events that had happened to Tiffany in the past.
