Seeing Lulu's pleading look, Pippa could not refuse Lulu and she ran to the surgery wing again.
However, they were still operating on Martin.
When Johnny saw Pippa return, she said, "The obstetrician says Lulu's having difficulty in labor and suggested a C-section, but she refused. I think she wants to wait and make sure the captain is safe… But I think if he really dies, she won't have the will to live."
"I'll talk to her." Johnny was left bristling from the information and ran to the maternity ward with Pippa in tow.
Johnny entered the maternity ward with the obstetrician's approval, and he quickly tried to reason with Lulu as soon as she saw her. "Lulu, the captain's fate is unknown, but that's exactly why you have to deliver his child for posterity! Continue the bloodline…"
Lulu feebly closed her eyes right then, refusing to hear a word of it.
She would have agreed to C-section if the child were Martin's.
As a matter of fact, she now regretted listening to Martin about keeping it.
She would not be in this agony if not for the child, not to mention that she would have nothing of Martin left if he died!
"Lulu…" Johnny cried anxiously. "Your friend is already here and they're operating on the captain! There won't be problems! You should trust your friend, shouldn't you?!"
In reality, Johnny had presumed that Brian was Lulu's friend as well.
In fact, friendship was besides the point—the priority was to get Lulu to agree to the C-section.
If she kept delaying, forget endangering the baby… the mother would die too!
Lulu murmured, "Irene's here?"
Johnny was speechless—the one he received was a man, and obviously not 'Irene'!
Still, he tried to assure her, "Yes, and she's saying there's a high chance of success. She told you not to worry, and you should deliver the baby!"
Lulu opened her eyes, staring straight at Johnny as she growled. "I'll wait until Martin's safe."
Johnny could die right then.
