“She is having the baby tonight, and it’s very dangerous. We should take her to the hospital.” Eve said sharply.
“Doctors and nurses are waiting in the backyard. And the medical equipment is much better than anything they have at the hospital here. So, please calm down and trust me. Everything is under control.” Ella explained calmly.
Two tough and tall bodyguards used a stretcher to carry Scarlett toward the backyard. They had been here over a month, but they had never come to the backyard, so they also didn’t notice that there was a little door leading into the little backyard.
Scarlett was in too much pain to even breathe, so she grabbed Eve’s hand very tightly. She knew she was hurting her, but she was in far too much pain to care at that moment.
After repeating this a few times, she finally delivered the baby.“It’s a boy!” The doctor exclaimed.“Bring him to me. I need to count and see if he has five fingers.” Scarlett said tiredly, stretching her finger to point to the baby covered with blood.Upon hearing what she said, the doctor burst into laughter. Scarlett could see twinkling stars in front of her.***Scarlett slept until noon. In her sleep, she dreamed that she was enjoying a feast, but before she could start eating anything, everything would just disappear right before her eyes. This pissed her off to no end, so she woke right up.Weakly, she opened
His eyes were dark, like dewy grapes. He stared at Scarlett and then sniffed.“Wait… do you think he recognizes me? As his mommy?” Scarlett said in a low voice.“Yeah, he recognizes his mother now,” Francis smiled and gave a gentle pinch on the back of her neck, “You are a mother now, so you have to be mature. Remember that, little girl.”As Scarlett heard Francis’s words, she was so moved that she burst out into tears.Suddenly, the baby started crying again.“Go and feed him now!” Scarlett said worriedly.“Hmm, I don’t think that’s my job right now!” Francis said as he glanced at her chest.
After dinner, Scarlett said, “You are not leaving? Shouldn’t you leave long ago?”“I changed my mind,” He replied leisurely after sipping his tea. He was sitting with his legs crossed on the sofa.She was speechless. She stood up and went to the washroom as she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She was about to ask for help from the nurse after Francis left, but to her surprise, he didn’t leave. The pain was so strong that she frowned, and then she put on her clothes and went to Eve’s room.“Are you two done fighting now?” Eve asked, who had already slipped back into her own room because, in her opinion, their fighting was like displaying affection.“My chest is killing me!” Scarlett said, pointing at her br
“You know what? It’s a tug of war. I have to make sure I get back into school now. Otherwise, I will end up being a housewife forever. I’m not gonna compromise this time!” Scarlett said.Fortunately, Francis didn’t bother putting up more of a fight.Scarlett made a call to Bell to ask her about what had happened recently at school, but before she was able to do that, Bell just shouted out excitedly,“Scarlett! Where the hell have you been these days? Have you been kidnapped? Why haven’t you given me a call recently?”“It’s a long story. I’m fine though, don’t worry. I have something to ask you. I haven’t registered for classes yet… do you know if that might be a problem for me?”
Downstairs came the sound of the engine start, and soon the housekeeper came to tell Francis that she had driven herself out.“Shall we chase after her?” The bodyguard asked.“Let her go!” He said after he took a glance at the baby in his arms. He knew her and her driving skills very well. No one could catch up with her.Meanwhile, Scarlett kept driving and crying; she had no idea where she was going. Once she got far enough away from the village, she pulled over.“Damn you, Francis, how can you think that I would just abandon my baby and our relationship?” She angrily punched the steering wheel. The sound of the horn scared the birds resting in the trees lining the road.She was facing a d
Bell gestured to Scarlett to respond, but Scarlett insistently didn’t say a word. Bell pinched Scarlett’s thigh until Scarlett screamed in pain.“Scarlett? Aren’t you at school? What happened? Are you alright? Is everything okay?” Francis asked hurriedly.“Don’t put your weight on me! And get your leg off on me! It’s killing me!” Scarlett begged as Bell let her leg fall on top of Scarlett’s.As Bell lifted her leg up to let Scarlett breathe, Scarlett came to the window to answer the phone.“Who are you with right now?” Francis was overwhelmed by what he heard over the phone, although he was trying to make sure his tone was still calm. He felt certain that she had gone back to school to see some lover
Scarlett looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a black limousine parked in the shadow of trees. Here was a luxury car with a low profile.Scarlett walked over and pulled the car door open. She had prepared to see the poker face of Francis, but, unexpectedly, there was a big surprise waiting for her in the car. The baby was there.“Oh, my precious baby!” She exclaimed excitedly and took him from Francis, keeping looking at her cute baby in his blue jumpsuit. And then Scarlett couldn’t help kissing him again and again because she had missed him so much after two days of not seeing him.“He hasn’t had a good meal in these two days. You should do something!” Francis said, sitting next to her in the car.“Haven’t you f
Because her coat was stained, Scarlett handed the baby back to Francis and retrieved some napkins to try and get the stains out.“Just throw it away. Even if you wipe it clean, it will still have a smell.” Francis said after seeing what she was doing.“It’s Bell’s coat. I can’t just throw it away!” Scarlett yelled.“Don’t you have clothes with you? You mean you didn’t pack anything at all?” Francis frowned. Francis was a neat freak and a germaphobe, and he would never wear someone else’s clothes. He felt sick to his stomach, thinking that Scarlett was clothed in Bell’s clothing right that moment.What Francis said made Scarlett so embarrassed that she put her head down. She had left a couple of
