Serenity and Zachary York novel Chapter 2459

As they were talking, Alice furrowed her brows while cradling her stomach. She said to Elisa, “Elisa, I might actually be going into labor early. The pain is becoming more noticeable.”

“I’ll take you to the hospital immediately.”

Elisa started to get nervous.

She helped Alice get up, but Alice stopped her and said, “First, go to my closet and get the pre-packed maternity bag I prepared a while ago. We need to take it with us to the hospital. Also, my prenatal checkup records are in the drawer of my dressing table, we should bring those too.”

“Alright, you stay seated for now. I’ll go get them. Don't worry, don't be nervous, I won’t be long.”

Elisa rushed out to get the maternity bag. She grabbed that along with the prenatal records, and in no time, she dashed down the stairs.

Alice was still waiting for her, but to her surprise, once Elisa grabbed the maternity bag and her prenatal records, she dashed off without waiting for Alice or even asking her along.

Alice was bewildered. Though Elisa had told her not to be nervous, Elisa herself was so anxious that she left without even calling for her.

She got up, still cradling her stomach with one hand, and slowly walked out of the room.

When she reached the top of the stairs, she saw that Elisa was nowhere in sight downstairs.

Alice could not help but laugh.

She imagined Elisa arriving at the hospital with the bag in hand, only to realize that she had not followed along. She wondered how Elisa would react.

Alice stopped in her tracks and took out her phone. She initially intended to call her husband, but then she thought about how he might also become as nervous and frantic as Elisa. So, she dialed Audrey’s number instead. Her mother-in-law was accustomed to dealing with life’s challenges, and being an experienced mother, she was usually calm and composed.

Audrey answered her call promptly.

“Where are you, Mom? Are you on your way back?”

“I’m with Darrell, on our way home. What's going on?” Audrey asked.

“Mom, I'm feeling some abdominal pain. I'm not sure if I'm going into labor early.”
