It was late at night, and the air was chilly in early summer.
Wearing a thin pajama, Irene ran out of the villa with a pair of slippers on her feet. Standing shivering in the night wind, she suddenly regretted her impulsive behavior.
"What should I do now? I cannot go back crestfallen like this."
Thinking of the words she just said in a hurry, Irene felt regret in her heart. "Now, just give me a hard message. How can I have the face to go back and see Edward?"
As Irene kept walking outside, her heart was in a mess. She was wondering whether he should go back while thinking about how to talk to Edward. He must be thinking about strangling her at this time.
Outside the villa, there was a winding road. Irene was walking along when a passing black car suddenly stopped in front of her.
When the driver's seat rolled down the window, she subconsciously looked over and smelled the strong smell of alcohol.
She frowned with displeasure. The driver drank too much wine, and he was still driving dangerously.
Just then, the man on the driver's seat opened the door and got out of the car.
Irene saw the other partymessy clothes and wanted to stay away from him. She did not expect that the man would approach her.
"Little beauty, it's late at night. Aren't you very lonely? Why do not you come to my place and have a rest?" As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to touch Irene.
Irene screamed with fear and quickly moved to the side, "Don't touch me!"
As soon as Edward chased him out, he saw a black car parked in front of him and heard Irene's frightened voice. He became so nervous and hurried forward.
As a result, before he arrived, he saw Irene and a man pulling each other.
The next moment, he saw the man reach out and pushed Irene away with gravity. Irene was pushed out by him heavily and fell on the concrete ground awkwardly.
Edward tried to urge himself to calm down, but his eyes were terribly sharp.
Taking a look at the license plate of this person, Edward carefully held Irene up from the ground. When he was about to ask if she was okay, Irene covered his stomach with his hands and felt so painful that he couldn’t even raise his head.
"What is wrong?" Edward's heart jumped and there was a trace of nervousness on his face.
"My stomach... it hurts..." After a while, Irene's face turned pale because of the pain. He couldn’t even utter a complete sentence.
"Hold on a little longer, I'll send you to the hospital!" His hand trembled slightly. He did not know why he would suddenly be so flustered, but looking at Irene's painful face, he wished he could bear it for her.
With no time to care about the drunken man in front of him. Edward opened the door of the car with a punch, held Irene in the front passenger seat, drove the black car straight to the hospital.
...
In the hospital.
Edward leaned against the corridor, staring at the ward for a moment until the young female doctor came out of the ward. The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward.
"She, how is she?"
The female doctor held the medical record book and looked at Edward up and down. Then she asked, "Are you the patient's family?"
"Yes, I’m her husband." Without hesitation, Edward admitted his relationship with Irene. They were husband and wife.
"Do not let the patient get cold again in the future. She is pregnant. Your family should take good care of her. It's only been two months. The baby is still not stable. Today, the baby almost died!"
Thinking of Irene's pale and pitiful face in the ward, the tone of the female doctor was mixed with a trace of dissatisfaction.
"Are you talking about Irene? Is she pregnant?" Edward repeated it incredulously.
Seeing that he did not know, the female doctor said in an even more unkind tone. "Yes, your wife is pregnant. Let her take good care of her in the future. Don't let your wife run away with a big belly!"
Edward was stunned and his heart was violently trembling.
Irene was pregnant with his child for the first time... He was going to be a father...
The joy of being a father for the first time hit him instantly. Different from the time when Celine was pregnant, at that time he might have decided to marry Celine because of revenge. As for the child itself, he did not seem to take it seriously from beginning to end.
However, this child, who was Irene and him, made him excited and overwhelmed. He even began to wonder what kind of name a daughter should name? Or if it was a son, he must look like him.
At this moment, Edward couldn't wait to go into the ward and tell Irene the news. He told her that he would take good care of her and her child and let her give birth to the child smoothly. Then the family of three would enjoy the happiness and warmth of ordinary families.
"Can I go in and see her now?" Thinking of this, Edward had always been superior and ruthless suddenly said with expectation.
"Yes, you can. But the patient needs to rest, so you'd better not wake her up. Don't stay in the ward for too long." The female doctor frowned and said worriedly.
Hearing this, Edward nodded his head in delight.
He opened the door of the ward and walked in. Looking at Irene lying quietly on the bed, Edward felt a lot of different emotions in his heart, such as self-blame, guilt, touching, and looking forward to the future.
