“According to reliable sources, China’s Ji Group and Qu family have joined hands to develop a new energy source. Both families, who share close ties, have the possibility of uniting through marriage…”
Perhaps the new project was very significant or Ji Ziming’s influence reached far and wide, so news about him could be reported here, on the opposite side of the world from where the man was located, within a few seconds.
This flash report was coincidentally seen by Pei Ge.
‘Uniting through marriage’…
She did not expect the news of his marriage to reach her so quickly.
The woman thought she had let go of her relations.h.i.+p with the man but she had apparently overestimated herself.
Thus, she was still affected by this news about him.
“Ge Ge…”
Seeing her looking dazedly at the TV even after the news report had already ended, Egger’s brows knitted tightly.
He took the remote control and turned off the TV.
“You…”
Turning the appliance off, he saw the woman’s face turning ashen before he could even finish speaking.
“Wuuu!”
The woman clutched her stomach tightly as beads of perspiration covered her forehead.
“What’s wrong? Pei Ge!”
He panicked at once when he saw her in so much pain.
He grabbed her shoulders amid the chaos. This man, who had always been very calm and composed, had anxiety written all over his face.
“Pain! Stomach… My stomach…”
She looked at her stomach and s.h.i.+vered. Her voice was filled with panic and fear.
“C-Chil… dren…”
He became more worried when he heard her words.
“Wait a moment; I’ll call an ambulance—”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a transparent substance flowing out from under her.
Since this woman was pregnant, as a precaution, he privately took cla.s.ses that taught expecting fathers how to welcome their children.
Therefore, the moment he saw this transparent substance, he knew at once that her water broke.
“Ge Ge, lie down first! Don’t worry; the ambulance will be here shortly!”
As he said that, he gripped her shoulders tighter. He could not be bothered by the fact that the floor was only covered with a thin carpet as he just lay her down on it.
“Don’t move! Just lie down here… You’ll be fine.”
I won’t let anything happen to you.
His eyes were fixed on her as determination flashed across them.
Looking at this pair of deep blue eyes, the nervousness in her heart dissipated quite a bit.
“Okay. You must save my children…”
Feeling her cold hand tightly gripping his and seeing trust for him in her eyes, he nodded solemnly.
“Rest a.s.sured; I will.”
After saying this, he fished out his phone and dialed the emergency hotline…
The ambulance and paramedics came not long after he made the call.
The woman’s heart remained in her mouth even up to the point where the doctor and nurses placed her on a gurney.
Her expected date of delivery was soon, but… it certainly was not today!
“Ge Ge, don’t be scared. I’ve arranged the best gynecologist for you. You and your children will be fine. Don’t be scared…”
He crooned at her when he saw the fear evident on her face.
Nonetheless, no matter how he comforted her, the woman remained anxious.
She kept feeling that the abdominal pain this time around was different from the previous times…
The pain this time made her feel as if the little lives in her stomach were leaving her.
“You have me with you. Don’t be scared,”
Egger comforted her over and over again as he held her hand tightly.
The ambulance arrived at the hospital shortly.
The hospital staff was ready to receive her. Everybody looked solemn as they rushed the gurney to the delivery room.
“Sir, what’s your relations.h.i.+p with this patient?”
Just as he was about to follow the woman into the delivery room, he was stopped by a nurse.
“I am…”
He paused. As much as the man wanted to head in and accompany her, he could not bring himself to say that he was her husband.
“I’m her friend.”
Taking a deep breath, he replied helplessly.
“My apologies, sir. Since you’re not the lady’s husband, we can’t let you in there. You can either stay outside or contact her family. Her condition doesn’t seem to be very optimistic.”
As she said this, the nurse moved to enter the delivery room and close the door behind her.
“Wait! What do you mean by that?”
Egger was instantly filled with fear when he heard the nurse’s words.
“This lady is pregnant with twins, and it’ll be harder to give birth to than a woman pregnant with one child. With her expected date of delivery being brought forward by a month, the patient’s condition isn’t very optimistic. You need to be prepared for the worst.”
The nurse did not give him the chance to ask more questions as she quickly closed the door and kept him outside.
“Prepare for the worst…”
The man did not expect to hear such advice.
He also did not expect her condition to be so critical!
He regretted not lying that he was the woman’s husband!
If he had done that, he could have been by her side right now…
This man had always been a demon in others’ eyes and was in charge of numerous lives.
However, right now, gone was the cold-hearted, aloof self of this man, who regarded others’ lives as worthless.
He was just like any average man at this point, waiting anxiously outside the delivery room for results.
He no longer had his usual high-and-might aura, and all that was left were his nervousness and anxiety…
