Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 672

Joy was utterly shocked, her voice trembling with panic. "Selena? Are you alright? I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have blabbered on like that..."

As she spoke, she slapped herself hard, leaving a distinct imprint of her fingers on her pale cheek.

Selena barely had the strength to reply. The pain was excruciating, and she felt a warm trickle running down her leg.

It was blood...

Having been through childbirth before, she realized she was going into labor early. She took deep breaths to calm herself and called out for Ava.

Ava rushed over the moment she heard her name, equally taken aback. Everything seemed perfectly fine just moments ago, so what had gone wrong?

Luckily, everything was prepped and ready. The family driver was on call around the clock, so despite her nerves, Ava managed to take charge and handle things smoothly.

Selena was whisked away to the hospital.

Being a major shareholder, she received top priority and was swiftly escorted to the delivery room.

Dr. Carrillo had been scheduled to deliver her baby, but with the emergency at hand, the hospital's leading obstetrician had to step in.

Selena's face was drained of color from the pain, and she was fading in and out of consciousness. Ava stayed by her side, holding her hand and cheering her on.

"Ma'am, hang in there. I'm right here with you!"

She insisted on accompanying Selena into the delivery room.

The doctor initially resisted, but Ava stood her ground, and not wanting to upset a major shareholder, the doctor relented, allowing her to change into scrubs and join them.

…

Meanwhile, over at the Bennett family estate, a small soiree was in full swing.

First, she greeted Carolina politely, then leaned in to whisper urgently in Everett’s ear.

"Mr. Everett, Mrs. Bennett has gone into labor unexpectedly, and things aren't looking good. She might face complications. Do you want to go to her?"

Everett’s gaze turned icy, but he showed no signs of moving.

Despite Alex’s attempt to keep her voice low, Carolina overheard. She shot Everett a look and advised, "She's having your child. At a time like this, she’d want you by her side. Go see her."

His dark eyes shifted to his mother.

He gave a slight, indifferent smile and said, "No need."

Carolina let out a cold laugh. "You’re just as cold-hearted as your father."

Everett’s expression didn’t change as he bluntly called out her pretense, "Isn't this what you wanted?"
