A tall man suddenly rushed out of the elevator.
What a coincidence.
“Where is she?” Jeremy asked with great pain.
Lucas immediately grabbed him by the collar. “You b*stard! Why did you come so late?”
Annie rushed over to him. “Uncle Jeremy, Corinne is inside the delivery room. Go to her
now!”
Jeremy quickly pushed Lucas’ hand away and rushed into the delivery room.
A nurse tried to stop him. “What are you doing? A patient is giving birth inside. No
outsider is allowed!”
“I’m the baby’s father!” shouted Jeremy in a panic.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing this, the nurse let him in. “Why are you here so late? Come in quickly, and change
into a pair of scrubs before going any closer to the patient.”
Jeremy quickly did as he was told. He took off his suit jacket and changed into a pair of
scrubs and shoes before following the nurse into the sterile delivery room.
Outside the door, he heard Corinne’s weak moans. ‘She sounds like she’s running out of
strength!’
Jeremy’s heart nearly jumped out of his throat. He strode rapidly to her bed and grabbed
her limp hand. “Little rascal, I’m back!”
The sweat-stricken Corinne immediately turned to look at him in disbelief when she heard
his voice. Suddenly, using whatever strength she had left, she bit down hard on his arm.
Jeremy did not even flinch. He squatted down and whispered comfortingly into her ear,
“There, there. I’ll be with you till the end.”
Finally, Corinne heard the sound of a baby crying through the haze of consciousness.
The doctor held up the already-cleaned baby. “Congratulations, it’s a boy!”
Jeremy looked at his baby boy with all the pride and gentleness of a new father, but then
his gaze suddenly lost focus.
“Sir?” prompted the doctor curiously when he received no response from Jeremy.
Jeremy snapped out of his trance, picked up the baby from the doctor’s hand, and ran out
of the delivery room.
Unsurprisingly, this shocked all of the medical staff.
“Sir! Wait! You can’t take the baby out yet!”
The doctor was about to chase after him when one of the nurses shouted, “Doctor, look!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnother baby’s coming! I can already see its head!”
The doctor turned back to check on the situation. “You’re right! It’s a twin.”
“The baby’s father must’ve been too excited to show his baby to the family. We should
attend to the patient first,” said the assisting doctor.
Everyone agreed with him, so they all turned their attention back to delivering another
baby.
Corinne, who was slipping in and out of consciousness, continued to give birth to another
two babies through sheer primal instinct alone.
“The second baby is a boy too! A very healthy one, at that!”
“Doctor, there’s a third baby coming!”
“Oh my. It’s been a while since we’ve delivered a triplet.”
“The last one’s a girl! Their parents are so lucky to have both sons and a daughter in one
go!”
