Chapter 1295 About To Give Birth
At that moment, Zephyr had just arrived at the baby store in the city. The sales associate showed him the model of the baby stroller from the picture. Zephyr decided to buy one and handed over his card to make the payment.
At that moment, the subordinate who had been waiting outside hurried in and reported to Zephyr, “Mr. Juksford, Mrs. Juksford is about to give birth.”
Zephyr's face changed, not even bothering to take the card, and left with his subordinate.
On the way back, Zephyr learned from his subordinate that Johanna had told the housekeeper she was going to sleep. Later, when the housekeeper brought a smoothie to her room, she discovered that Johanna was not in her bedroom. Instead, there was a rope made of clothes tied to a stone pillar on the balcony. The housekeeper quickly informed the bodyguard.
The bodyguard found Johanna under the fence on the side of the garden. When he found her, her face was already pale, and she kept crying out in pain.
It is possible that Johanna fell while escaping, which led to the premature birth of her child.
“Useless! Over a dozen of you can't even keep an eye on a pregnant woman!” Zephyr cursed, urging his subordinate to drive faster while calling the doctor at the mansion.
The doctor answered the phone quickly, “Mr. Juksford, don't worry. Mrs. Juksford and the child are both fine.”
Since Johanna had a cesarean for her first child and the time between her pregnancies was relatively short, and the baby was in the correct position, the doctor hoped she would have a natural birth, as it would pose a lower risk.
Even though the doctor said so, Zephyr couldn't help but feel uneasy not staying by Johanna's side.
Upon arriving at the mansion, Zephyr hurriedly opened the car door before it even came to a complete stop. He rushed into the house, heading straight for the first floor where there was a dedicated operating room for Johanna to give birth.
Zephyr walked up to the operating room just as the door opened, and a blonde-haired, blue-eyed nurse came out from inside.
Upon seeing Zephyr, the nurse smiled and handed the child to him. “Your wife is beautiful, and the baby is born fair and clean, with eyes just like yours!”
Zephyr lowered his head and saw a tiny baby wrapped in a blanket, with delicate and fair skin.
She seemed to have no fear of strangers, staring into Zephyr's eyes with her own wide open. Her pupils were a rare shade of purple, purely beautiful.
Upon seeing the little one, Zephyr felt a bit flustered and panicked.
Not long ago, he had accompanied Johanna to the prenatal education center for expectant mothers, where they practiced how to hold a baby. However, when he finally saw his own child, Zephyr couldn't bring himself to hold them.
She was so tiny, seemingly not even as big as her own palm. Zephyr was afraid he might break her with a touch.
The nurse couldn't help but chuckle at Zephyr's dumbfounded expression. She personally handed the baby to the man. Zephyr carefully supported the child with both hands, not daring to make any sudden movements.
After the father and daughter looked at each other for a moment, the baby smiled first, her smile as beautiful as the first day.
Zephyr was afraid that there might be bacteria on his skin, so he gently leaned down and kissed the blanket wrapped around her. His eyes were filled with tenderness as he said, “Daddy has been waiting for your birth, and now I finally get to meet you.”
The baby's eyes resemble his, and the facial features are like Johanna's. As they grow up, they will undoubtedly become a beautiful person.
After holding the child for a while, Zephyr handed the baby back to the nurse.
Johanna had been moved to an upstairs bedroom earlier, as giving birth had exhausted her. As soon as the baby was born, she felt weak in her limbs and fainted.
Zephyr stood by the bedside, bending down to touch the woman's pale face, feeling extremely heartbroken.
It seemed that due to his touch, Johanna, who had been asleep for a while, opened her eyes. She avoided Zephyr's hand and asked hoarsely, “Where's the child?”
“The nurse is taking care of (the patient).”
Zephyr went to the bathroom, wrung out a hot towel, and helped her wipe her face.
Johanna struggled to sit up in bed, but she had no strength in her body. All she could do was plead, “Please bring the child to me so I can see them.”
Zephyr gently held her hand, carefully wiping it with a towel, and softly said, “You just gave birth and need to rest. Once you've recovered, you can go to the nursery to see for yourself.”
“I don't want to wait, I want to see it now.” The more he insisted, the more anxious Johanna became. “Did you take the child away?”
Zephyr was worried that Johanna's emotional state might cause her physical discomfort. He made a video call to his subordinate downstairs, asking him to move the camera to focus on the baby.
Johanna saw in the video that a nurse was holding a child in her arms, and the baby seemed to be asleep with its eyes closed.
Seeing the child safe and sound, Johanna's tense heart finally relaxed. Meanwhile, Zephyr rang the bell for the housekeeper to bring up the prepared mushroom soup and continued to wipe her hands with a towel.
Johanna leaned against the pillow, looking down at Zephyr, “What exactly do you want to do?”
She really couldn't figure out Zephyr. He said he was interested in her, but she wasn't a young girl in her twenties, and there were plenty of women more beautiful than her.
Why would he ignore so many good girls and instead choose to take care of someone else's wife and children?
“I love you.” Zephyr gently lifted Johanna's hand to his lips and tenderly kissed it, his eyes filled with unspoken affection and warmth.
“Jojo, can you give me a chance, please?”
