Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 857

Chapter 857 Shed Tears of Envy in My Heart

Patrick leaned in and cupped Aimee's face, then kissed her.
Aimee had only wanted a kiss on the cheek from Patrick, but he went straight for her lips. And the way he did it was like he wanted to kiss her until they both passed out.
Normally, Aimee would have responded passionately to Patrick's advances. But right now, she was feeling a little overwhelmed, mainly because she was lacking oxygen and suddenly experiencing intense pain in her stomach.
This feeling seemed familiar...
Aimee pushed Patrick away and he looked down to see that she was pale with sweat beads the size of peas rolling down her face.
"Aimee, what's going on?" Patrick panicked and didn't know what to do.
Could it be that his kiss had somehow induced labor?
But reality quickly set in - anything was possible.
"Honey," she said weakly. "Call the doctor... I'm about to give birth."
She tried hard to regulate her breathing but this time around the pain was much more severe than before - too much for Aimee to handle alone.
Patrick ran off immediately calling for help so fast that one of his shoes fell off along the way!
The doctors and nurses rushed over frantically, pushing Aimee into the delivery room while refusing entry for Patrick who desperately wanted to be by his wife's side during this momentous occasion.
A part of him knew why though. Seeing childbirth could make even grown men faint!
Patrick crouched outside of the delivery room, shaking uncontrollably and trying not think about how kissing his wife led them here today...
Were these two little ones coming into their lives meant as punishment?
He couldn't help but worry about how they were going divide their attention between two babies at once…
But those thoughts only lasted briefly before Kelvin arrived after hearing all commotion outside. He reassured him,
"Relax man! Aimee is strong enough for this! You don't need to be so nervous."
Patrick looked up at Kelvin with red eyes, retorting, "Let me see you when Casey goes into labor!"
Kelvin couldn't help but laugh, knowing exactly how nerve-wracking childbirth can be.
Casey's physical condition was far inferior to Aimee's, not by just a little bit. Given Casey's delicate nature, it was easy to imagine what would happen when the time came.
Kelvin was speechless from being retorted.
Patrick didn't say anything either and just stared straight at the delivery room. His body trembled, his ears ringing. Even if he focused his attention on the delivery room, everything seemed blurry and he couldn't see anything.
Every second felt like torture for Patrick right now. He really wanted to rush in and see Aimee but he couldn't get through the door.
Although Kelvin had been scolded by Patrick earlier, he still wanted to comfort him. "Patrick, why don't you sit down for a while? When the babies are born, there will be plenty of things to do and you can't be so flustered."
Patrick understood everything that was said but couldn't control himself at all. He also wanted to calm down but this situation seemed like an insurmountable problem for him.
However, this problem was quickly resolved because a nurse came out and congratulated Patrick, "Congratulations, Mr. Hayden! It's a pigeon pair!"
Patrick stared at the nurse for a long time before finally finding his voice again and asking, "They... they were born?"
The nurse smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Hayden! Twins! They're very beautiful too! The older brother was born first followed by his younger sister one minute thirty seconds later."
As she spoke these words though, even Kelvin was shocked into silence momentarily before finally managing two words, "That fast?"
The nurse chuckled as she explained that Aimee had excellent physical condition which made childbirth go smoothly. It was good news indeed!
Afterwards they could rest up some more before visiting with Aimee again later on - according to her colleague Dr. Juarez who had been chatting with her inside all along!
Both Kelvin and Patrick exchanged glances as they tried processing this information - it all seemed too fast... Wasn't it barely fifteen minutes since she entered?
Patrick took a long breath of relief. Thankfully, she didn't suffer for too long. However, his heart was still in knots. He couldn't relax until he saw Aimee again.
Finally, Aimee was pushed out.
The moment she saw Patrick, she waved at him and smiled tenderly.
Patrick's eyes were already red before but now tears streamed down his face as he held Aimee's hand and kissed her forehead. "Baby, you've worked hard."
Although Aimee didn't suffer much during childbirth, she had just given birth and was weak with a frail voice.
"It's all sweat and dirt," said Aimee.
Patrick touched her head and said, "No way! You look beautiful."
After giving birth to a child, women tend to be sensitive about their appearance. They worry that their husbands might find them unattractive. Even Aimee wasn't immune to this feeling. Patrick's words undoubtedly gave her great comfort.
She smiled slightly and said, "You're so good at comforting people."
Patrick wasn't trying to comfort her. He genuinely thought that Aimee looked beautiful - especially when she looked at him with those eyes of hers - it made him feel like there was nothing else in the world that mattered except for being by her side until they grew old together.
Back in the hospital room, Patrick finally saw his two children but couldn't help furrowing his brows unconsciously, because they didn't look anything like him or Aimee – instead looking wrinkled up like little raisins! They were far from what the nurse had described as "beautiful".
Unfortunately, the nurse did not understand what Patrick was thinking when he stared at the two little ones intently. She asked, "Mr. Hayden, are your son and daughter not very pretty?"
Patrick turned his head towards the nurse with an expression that could not be understood while everyone else fell silent waiting for his response…
"Ugly," replied Patrick bluntly without any hesitation or remorse, causing an earth-shattering cry from one of them.
It happened to be his daughter who felt wronged by such a comment while surprisingly enough his son remained quiet throughout this ordeal. It left everyone shocked including even the speechless nurse who had never seen such behavior before from a father towards their own children!
Under such a situation, it seemed that his daughter was crying because of him, and his son was so cold that he didn't want to give him eyes at all.
More or less, he felt a little embarrassed.
Patrick was a little speechless. Sure enough, these two little things came to punish him.
Withdrawing his gaze, Patrick turned his head and met Aimee's half-smiling eyes.
It was the first time that Aimee looked at him like this.
Patrick's heart skipped a beat. It was over.
He was going to piss off his wife.
Patrick walked to Aimee's side, and quickly said, "Aimee, I didn't mean that. I just..."
"You don't need to say it. I know you think they are ugly." Aimee said, just turned her eyes away and ignored Patrick.
Patrick was speechless.
However, facing such two wrinkled children, he really couldn't say the word "beautiful".
Just then, Camdyn and Casey pushed the door open.
As soon as Casey woke up, she heard that Aimee had given birth, so she hurried to wake up Camdyn and rushed over.
However, the atmosphere in this room was so wrong.
When had Aimee ignored Patrick so much?
Casey couldn't hold back and thought wildly.
She even wondered if there was nothing wrong with Patrick, but as soon as his wife entered the delivery room, something was wrong.
Then this can't be done, because the man in the Hayden family can't be such a scumbag.
However, Casey was not impulsive, and moved to Kelvin's side first, and asked, "What's the matter? Why is Aimee upset?"
Twins, they were twins, what a joy.
All of a sudden, they had both a son and a daughter, and she was almost envious of them.
Most importantly, Casey heard that Aimee gave birth within fifteen minutes after entering the delivery room.
She really couldn't control herself and shed tears of envy in her heart.
