Arthur rushed to Women's and Children's Hospital, and ran many red lights. When he arrived at the hospital, Peter and Kyle who were standing in the lobby immediately greeted him.
"Where's Julia?" Arthur asked as soon as he saw Peter.
"She has been pushed into the delivery room. Mr. Davies, I am to blame. I haven't watched Ms. Knight closely," Peter replied anxiously.
"Take me there now!" Arthur didn't have time to scold Peter, but asked Peter to take him to the delivery room immediately.
Peter and Kyle then led Arthur up to the delivery room on the sixth floor. When they were nervous, it was very quiet outside the delivery room. They were the only ones left except for a family waiting outside.
"Where's Julia?" Arthur looked at the closed door and asked Peter.
"She was pushed in, and we couldn't follow her in, so we went to the lobby to wait for you," Peter explained.
"Mr. Davies, take it easy. I'll go ask for more information." Kyle was much calmer. After talking to Arthur, he walked over to the nurse's station.
Arthur was fidgety at the moment. When he had a bad hunch when he left the house this morning, he should have stayed with Juliana.
Peter who stood aside could do nothing but feel anxious.
Soon, Kyle came back, he said to Arthur, "Mr. Davies, don't worry. Ms. Knight is in a stable condition, but she may go into labor because of the fall."
Arthur heaved a sigh of relief. Although the baby was not full-term, he could make it up to the baby. The most important thing was that Juliana was safe.
"Mr. Davies, just now I took the liberty of informing Ms. Knight's parents and Mr. and Mrs. Davies, and they both said they would come over as soon as possible," Seeing that Arthur was a little bit relieved, Peter said.
"Well, you did the right thing," Arthur responded, fixing his eyes on the closed operating room door.
Compared to Arthur, Juliana was much calmer in the operating room. She sat on the operating table calmly and relaxedly.
"Ma'am, are you sure you want the injection?" A doctor standing next to the operating table hesitantly asked Juliana.
"Hmm." Juliana nodded firmly.
"But ..." the doctor was hesitant and advised, "Now your cervix hasn't been fully dilated. An oxytocic injection may cause serious consequences like fetal hypoxia and asphyxia, and there is a risk of uterine rupture. I suggest you ..."
"Do it as you're told!" Juliana shouted impatiently. She knew the danger of the oxytocin injection, but the situation was urgent and did not allow her to hesitate much at this moment. Maybe Arthur had been waiting for her outside the operating room at this moment.
The doctor frowned at her words. Juliana's determination made the doctor say nothing more. He signaled the nurse to come over and gave Juliana an injection.
After the injection, Juliana lay down on the operating table. She was about to give birth, and soon she had contractions. The pain came instantly, and Juliana bit her lip tightly and tried desperately to endure the pain.
At the nurse's words, Kayla exclaimed and leaned over to look at the baby on the bed, saying to Arthur, "Arthur, come and see, it's your son!"
Arthur was still a bit stupefied when he heard the nurse's words, and only when Kayla called out to him did he come back to his senses and walk over to the little bed and look down at the baby inside.
The newborn baby's face was wrinkly. His whole body was red. Warmth flooded Arthur’s heart. He could not help but reach out to him. The baby squirmed, reached out, and grabbed Arthur's index finger. He was moving his head as if looking for something.
Seeing this, all the people around them were moved.
"The baby must be hungry." The nurse smiled and explained.
"Hmm," Arthur responded, watching intently as the baby continued to fiddle with his index finger, his eyes becoming soft.
Just then, the door of the operating room opened again and Juliana, who was lying on the hospital bed, was pushed out. Her face was emaciated and her eyes were closed as if she had fallen asleep.
Arthur immediately went over, lowered his head, and kissed Juliana on her forehead. Even if there was no love between them, he could show her his tenderness.
He said softly, "Julia, good job."
When Kayla and Robert saw Arthur cherish Juliana so much, the displeasure inside them disappeared completely.
