Chapter 2461
Elisa laughed and said, “Alice, please don’t laugh at me. I’m just so nervous. I bet Clive is panicking
right now.”
“Okay, I’ll stop laughing at you. Though laughing lessens the pain.”
Elisa said, “Then go ahead and laugh! If your stomach doesn’t hurt from laughing, you should laugh
more. I really don’t mind since I’m quite thick-skinned.”
Alice hugged her belly and laughed, but then she soon frowned and said, “Now it hurts. The pain is
getting more intense.”novelbin
Hearing this, Audrey immediately instructed her daughter, “Bring Alice to the hospital now!”
Most women would experience contractions for at least a day or two before giving birth for the first
time. Some women would even have to endure the pain for three days. However, some women only
had contractions for a few hours before delivery.
Maybe Alice would not have to struggle for long.
Thus, the Stones rushed Alice to the hospital.
On the way to the hospital, Alice called Clive. When he answered the phone, she said, “Clive, my
stomach hurts, so I think I’m going into labor. Dad, Mom, and Elisa are sending me to the hospital now.
If you have time, please meet us at the hospital.”
“You’re going into labor?! I thought we still had two weeks before the due date. Why are you giving birth
now?
“Of course, I have time for my pregnant wife! Which hospital are you going to? I’ll be there right away!
Don’t be scared. I’ll see you soon!”
When Clive heard that his wife was about to give birth, he put aside his work, stood up, and walked
around the desk to leave. However, he went in the wrong direction and walked into the lounge instead.
A senior manager who came to report to him looked at his boss, who was walking to the lounge, in
astonishment.
The senior manager thought to himself, ‘Isn’t Mr. Stone heading out?
‘His wife is about to give birth, and I clearly heard him saying that he was heading to the hospital. Why
was he walking into the lounge?’
The manager thought Clive was going to grab something from the lounge.
Soon, Clive walked out, still talking on the phone. He did not grab anything else.
The senior manager quickly realized that his boss was so nervous that he had gone to the wrong place.
He thought, ‘Will Mr. Stone make it to the hospital safely in his current condition? Will he go to the
wrong hospital?’
“Central Hospital, right? Okay, I’ll be there right away. Don’t panic, Ally. I’m right here for you, even if
the sky falls.”
Alice said, “I’m not nervous. But I know you are, Clive. Please stay calm. The baby and I will be fine.
The baby is in a normal fetal position, so the delivery should be smooth. The baby might even be out
by the time you get to the hospital!
“Drive slowly, okay? Actually, you shouldn’t drive. Get the driver to send you over.”
Alice knew her husband well.
If Clive were to drive to the hospital now, he might get into an accident because he would be speeding
the entire way.
“I’m fine. I’ll leave the office now.”
“Okay. Get the driver to send you here. I can’t talk now. We’re almost at the hospital.”
Alice hung up because the pain was getting more intense and unbearable.
“Alice, are you okay?” Elisa, who was sitting next to Alice, saw her uncomfortable expression and
asked with concern.
“It’s getting more painful.”
Alice frowned and added, “I also want to go to the bathroom.”
Audrey said, “Hang on a little longer. We’re almost at the hospital. When the pain gets worse and you
feel like relieving yourself, it means you’re about to give birth. This baby has tormented you for nine
and a half months. I guess he doesn’t want to have such an arduous delivery.”
Judging from her experience, Audrey knew that her daughter-in-law would probably get examined and
sent to the delivery room immediately once they arrived at the hospital.
Audrey was nervous and hopeful to see her grandchild.
Alice sobbed.
