Chapter 739 Melissa Gave Birth to a Boy
Half an hour later, Stefan returned to the Doyle Manor. Martha was nervously staring at the landlinephone, waiting for Bianca and the others to call back. But she knew they probably didn't have timeto call right now.
Stefan walked quickly into the living room and called out softly, "Martha."
Martha turned her head in the direction of his voice and her eyes lit up. "Stefan."
"Why did you come back?" Martha's voice was full of confusion.
"I'm worried about you, so I came back to check on you," Stefan replied gently as he sat down nextto Martha. He reached out and lightly stroked her back with a deep yet pleasant voice. "Don't worry,Eden has already gone to the hospital."
"Mm-hmm." Martha responded softly but still felt very worried about Melissa's situation.
This was Melissa's first delivery; she must be very scared. But with Eden there, she shouldn't bethat afraid anymore.
...
Time passed quickly; it had been nine hours since 9 PM.
Just then, the landline phone in the living room suddenly rang.
Martha immediately stood up and hurried over to answer it while Stefan sitting next to her gentlygrabbed her wrist. "Slow down; don't rush."
"It must be that Melissa gave birth," Martha said anxiously as she slowed down despite havingdifficulty walking due to severe swelling during late pregnancy.
When she answered the phone, Maxwell's gentle voice came through from other end of line."Martha."
"Dad! Did Melissa give birth?" Martha asked nervously while holding onto her phone tightly .
Maxwell quickly gave an answer from his end, "Yes! She gave birth safely; mother and son are bothfine!"
"That's great news!" Martha breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this news and asked morequestions about Melissa's condition.
After she hung up, Stefan couldn't help but say sympathetically, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Mm-hmm." Martha smiled contentedly as if relieved from heavy burden. Then she let Stefan guideher towards their couch again before lying back down once more comfortably .
Stefan gently lifted Martha's swollen feet and placed them on his lap, continuing to massage hiswife.
Since he had returned, Martha had been waiting by the landline for a call.
Eventually, he convinced her to drink some pork rib soup and persuaded her to sit on the couchwhile he massaged her; otherwise, she would have been complaining about body aches all daylong.
Lying down with relief that everything was okay with her best friend Melissa, Martha relaxed.
She reached out and touched her high bulging belly with regretful eyes as she looked at Stefan.
"Melissa gave birth to a boy; it seems like we won't be able to arrange for our child to marry theirs."
Stefan raised an eyebrow mischievously and said, "How do you know they will only have onechild?"
Martha was slightly stunned but couldn't help laughing," Yeah, what if their second child is a girl?We can still arrange for them to marry."
The man sitting next to them chuckled helplessly upon hearing this conversation.
The next day at the hospital...
With Stefan's support, Martha walked into Melissa's ward. Everyone didn't want her there since shewas almost due in two months' time. It was quite troublesome going back and forth from the hospitaltoo.
However last night she used various methods until Stefan agreed secretly bringing her here.
As soon as Martha entered the room smilingly, she said,"Melissa, I'm here!"
All four people in the room were shocked when they saw Stefan bringing Martha along. They neverexpected it!
Maxwell frowned immediately upon seeing this scene, muttering unhappily, "What are you doinghere!"
Martha rubbed her belly while walking over smilingly. "Dad, I'm very careful. There won't be anyproblems."
Maxwell sighed helplessly. He cared about his daughter after all, and didn't say anything else.
Melissa's eyes lit up immediately. She pointed towards a chair beside the bed. "Martha, you shouldsit down quickly."
Martha walked over smilingly, wanting to ask about Melissa's condition, but then suddenly, a nursecame over holding Melissa's baby son in arms, saying, "4607, this is your baby. I'll put him in hiscrib now."novelbin
"Okay. Thank you, nurse." Eden gentlemanly thanked.
The only thing he was doing was peel the apple for Melissa, so he didn't even glance at their ownbaby lying in the crib.
And at this moment, Melissa's happy smile upon Martha's arrival disappeared when she heardabout the baby.
She pouted and looked unhappily at Martha. "Why is my son so ugly? He looks like a monkey."
Before Martha could say anything, Melissa suddenly stood up. "Why didn't our son inherit any of ourgood looks?"
Eden was sitting next to her, peeling an apple when he heard this and his hand paused for amoment before nodding in agreement with a serious expression on his face. "He is quite ugly."
Melissa was speechless upon hearing this and turned to look at Martha sitting beside her with tearsin her eyes. "My son is so ugly that he might not be able to find a wife in the future."
Martha burst out laughing upon hearing this while even Bianca and Maxwell standing nearbycouldn't help but chuckle as they watched the couple.
Stefan standing on the other side secretly glanced over at the baby in the crib and somewhatagreed with Eden's words but didn't understand what exactly they were all laughing about.
The next second, Melissa's puzzled voice echoed through the hospital room. "What are you alllaughing about?"
Martha smiled slightly before saying, "He will look better when he grows up."
Melissa frowned skeptically as she turned to look at Bianca. "Are you saying that someone wholooks like him will grow up handsome?"
"How your child turns out depends on you," replied Bianca lovingly as she gazed down into the crib.
Melissa pouted again unwillingly before turning back towards Martha. "I'm much better looking thanhim, right?"
"Yes," replied Martha smiling before adding, "Newborns change every day; give him some time andsoon enough you'll see that your little boy grows into a handsome young man."
"Thanks for your kind words," answered Melissa without saying anything more.
...
That day, Martha spent an entire day joking around with Melissa. She didn't leave the hospital roomuntil evening came around.
When she went back, Maxwell, Bianca and Stefan also went back with her.
That night, when Martha was lying in bed and reading, Stefan gently touched Martha's stomach andsaid in a serious manner, "Martha, don't be afraid. Our unborn baby must be good-looking."
Martha was speechless upon hearing these words.
She understood that Stefan didn't listen to her and Bianca's words at all, firmly believing that thebaby would be born ugly.
Suddenly, she frowned slightly and looked at Stefan with a mischievous expression.
"What if our baby also turns out to be that ugly?"
Stefan furrowed his brows and answered in a deep voice, "It's okay. If it's a daughter, I don't mindsupporting her for the rest of my life."
"What if it's a son?"
Martha frowned slightly and asked again.
Stefan answered without any hesitation, in a crisp and decisive manner. "I'll just let him grownaturally."
Martha sighed upon hearing these words.
She thought, "He really has double standards when it comes to the treatment of his son anddaughter."
