Yandel sped his way to the hospital with Verian in the car.
Both Yannis and Xylean were holding onto Verian’s hand while she was being wheeled in. Verian was completely drenched in sweat as she cried out in agonizing pain.
“Ouch… I don’t want to give birth anymore! Argh…! I don’t want to give birth anymore!”
Yannis’s heart wrenched as she watched Verian in pain. However, now that things had progressed this far, she had to give birth regardless of how painful the whole ordeal was. She comforted her, “Hang in there. Just hang in there a little longer and it’ll be over real soon!”
Verian was bawling from the pain as her tears mixed with her sweat when it rolled down from the corner of her eyes. She said, “Mom, where’s Heaton? Have you reached him yet? I am literally in pain! Mom… I don’t want to give birth anymore!”
Xylean immediately said, “We just contacted Heaton earlier and he had just landed. He’s on his way from the airport now! Verian, just hang in there. Heaton will be here real soon!”
A sudden sharp pain shot out from her belly as Verian said while gritting her teeth, “I will not give birth if he’s not here yet!”
“Heaton is already on his way! Hang in there Riana! I’ll give him a call again to rush him, okay?”
Verian yelled while she sobbed as her agonizing pain made her lose all sense of rationality, “Damn you, Heaton! Why do you want a second child!”
Yandel reached out to pull Little Jelly Bean aside before covering her eyes with his huge hand. Little Jelly Bean was standing beside Yandel’s leg while grabbing his hand.
“Uncle, why are you covering my eyes?”
It would be inappropriate for a child to watch something as bloody as a baby’s delivery.
Yandel removed his hand only after Verian was wheeled into the surgery room.
Little Jelly Bean looked toward the surgery room before looking up to ask Yandel, “Uncle, is Monty in the surgery room already?”
Yandel nodded as he said, “Don’t worry, it’ll be over real soon.”
“I want to go in there to see Monty.”
“Children are not allowed in.”
Little Jelly Bean pouted her lips and shrugged. She said, “Alright then. Children should just wait outside, I guess.”
Yandel was calm as he raised his hand to pat Little Jelly Bean’s head with a calm smile before carrying her onto a chair as he said, “Just sit here for a while.”
Yannis was extremely worried as she paced back and forth outside the surgery room.
Little Jelly Bean rested her head on both of her hands as she spoke in a childish tone, “Grandma, can you stop pacing? I’m getting dizzy watching you walk around.”
Yandel told his mother as well, “Mom, you should also come and sit here for a while. It will be fine since there are specialists.”
Yannis asked in a worried tone, “Where’s Heaton? Just look at how worried Riana was and if Heaton is by her side, she might feel a little better.”
Yannis gave Heaton another call.
“Five more minutes. He should be able to make it on time.”
Xylean brought Yannis over and sat her down. She comforted her, “Aunty, this is Verian’s second child so it should be easier for her. Don’t you worry too much.”
“It’s easy for you to say but I don’t know why my heart is pounding extremely fast.”
Since Little Jelly Bean did not have breakfast in the morning, her belly was rumbling.
Yandel asked, “Hungry?”
Little Jelly Bean said while rubbing her belly, “Uncle, I want to eat hotdogs and drink milk.”
Since Xylean did not have breakfast yet, she suggested, “Jelly Bean, why don’t I bring you out for some breakfast?”
Yandel was worried and wanted to tag along but since Verian was still in surgery and his mother was waiting alone outside, he was unable to leave.
…
Xylean was holding onto Little Jelly Bean’s hand and as they arrived at the main entrance of the hospital, they noticed Heaton rushing in.
“Daddy!”
Heaton ignored Little Jelly Bean as he was slightly panting. He then asked Xylean, “Where’s Riana?”
“In surgery. You should hurry. I’ll bring Little Jelly Bean out for some breakfast.”
The instant Xylean was done speaking, Heaton did not even bother to greet them as he rushed in immediately.
Little Jelly Bean pouted her lips as she said, “... Did daddy not see me?”
Xylean chuckled as she patted the little rascal’s head. She then said, “Your daddy might be too worried about Monty. Come on now, let’s look for an amazing breakfast place.”
…
Heaton arrived at the entrance of the surgery room while heaving heavily.
