1350 Protect the Mother and Sacrifice the Child?
In the capital, a certain hospital was not open to the public.
This hospital was built by Jordan. It was not far from their house. The Steeles and the Howards usually went to this hospital because the doctors here were all high-level doctors from the Steeles.
Of course, they were not the best, because the highest level doctors were doing research in another place.
At this moment, Lauren had just been rushed to the hospital lobby.
Helen, who had just been brought in and was smoking a new electronic cigarette while chatting with the other doctors, panicked.
“Mrs. Steele?”
In the past, when Lauren came here to check on her health, she would always meet Helen and chat with her.
Helen quickly put the cigarette in her pocket and walked over. “Aren’t you due the day after tomorrow? Why are you here today?”
Lauren’s mother, Marissa, accompanied her and said nervously, “Lauren suddenly felt a lot of pain just now. I’m afraid she’s going to give birth!”
Helen tensed, too. “Any major bleeding?”
Helen examined it and said, “Fortunately, there’s no bleeding. Joe, prepare Mrs. Steele for natural labor immediately.”
“Yes!”
The medical staff placed Lauren on the stretcher and laid her down. She didn’t look too good.
At this moment, Lauren’s father, Stefan, and Lauren’s grandfather, Martin, rushed over.
“Lauren, how are you?”
Stefan and Martin were very concerned about Lauren’s situation. Lauren lay flat on the stretcher and kept calling Jordan’s name.
“Jordan… Jordan…”
Stefan asked softly, “Isn’t Jordan in the capital?”
Marissa pitied her daughter and was very angry. “Jordan, this child. His wife is about to give birth, but he’s not back yet. I’ll call him!”
Punching in a few numbers, Marissa called Jordan’s number, but no one answered. She had Salvatore’s phone number, so she called him again.
“Hello, Mrs. Howard, what’s the matter?”
Marissa asked, “Salvatore, where’s Jordan? My daughter is about to give birth. Why isn’t he back yet? Lauren keeps calling Jordan’s name. How can she give birth in peace like this?!”
Salvatore said, “Mrs. Howard, it’s not that Mr. Jordan doesn’t want to go back. You don’t know how many things he’s done to be able to see Lauren give birth. He just escaped death. He really can’t go back for a while!”
Marissa was shocked. “Escaped death? Where is he now? Why is he still…”
Marissa was about to clarify when Stefan snatched the phone away and turned it off.
Stefan said, “What’s wrong with you? Lauren is about to enter the operating theater. You’re saying this in front of her!”
“Jordan… Jordan…”
Perhaps because she heard Marissa’s words, Lauren kept calling Jordan’s name even more. Her eyes slowly welled up with tears.
