Chapter 1186
Master Collins immediately came to a realization after hearing his great-grandson's words. He immediately urged Beanie, "Then should we head over now?"
Beanie nodded.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Abigail to ask where they were heading to. Then, he and Master Collins both left the house.
In the middle of the night, Vera was asleep. Suddenly, she felt a vibration from under the pillow.
Was it her phone? Vera was exhausted. She obviously felt the phone vibrating, but her body couldn't respond to it at all.
The phone finally stopped vibrating after a while, but it began to vibrate again after a short while. Vera forced herself to reach for the phone under the pillow and answered the call.
"Hello..."
Her voice sounded weak and blurred.
"Auntie Vera!" Beanie's voice sounded from the other end of the call. Vera frowned unconsciously, "Beanie? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night? What's the matter?" "Auntie Vera, Mommy is in labor!"
"Who? What do I have..." Before she could finish her sentence, Vera suddenly stopped; her drowsiness was instantly gone. She abruptly opened her eyes wide and sat upright on the bed, "Minerva is in labor?"
"Yes, Auntie Vera. We're already at the hospital. I've already called Uncle Quill; he's going to pick you up."
Although she had a million doubts inside, Vera was more anxious then. She then replied, "Alright, I'll be there right away."
She put the phone down and immediately changed out of her pajamas. Then, she grabbed her phone and opened the door. Perhaps it was because she was making too much noise, Mabie opened her door just as Vera opened hers; she looked at Vera with drowsy eyes.
"Vivy, it's past midnight. What are you doing awake?"
"Mom?" Seeing Mabie standing there, Vera felt bad, "Did I wake you up with all the noise? Sorry, go back to sleep. I have to go out for a bit." "What's going on?" Mabie walked out frowning.
"Minerva is delivering. She's in the hospital right now."
"Minerva is about to deliver?" Mabie was surprised, "Didn't you say that there are two days still? Why is she giving birth so suddenly?"
Vera shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. I just received a call from Beanie. I'm leaving, Mom."
"It's not safe for you to go out alone in the middle of the night. Let me change my clothes and accompany you there."
"Mom, you don't have to!" Vera stopped her and explained, "Someone will come and pick me up. You don't have to worry about it."
Hearing Vera's words, Mabie immediately understood. She nodded and said, "Alright then. Then you should only go down when it's about time. It's the middle of the night after all."
Vera glanced at the time and found that it was past three o'clock. She would still have to wait for a while if she went down right away.
Thus, Mabie accompanied Vera in the living room. The clock in the living room ticked, and the sound was crystal clear in the quiet night. After a long time, Vera kept urging Mabie to go back to sleep, but Mabie didn't want to and insisted on waiting with her.
Vera finally gave up, and she stopped trying to persuade Mabie.
Finally, Vera's phone beeped. It was a call from
Quill.
Vera quickly stood up and answered it, "Hello?"
"I'm already downstairs. Are you ready?"
"Yes, I'll head down right away." After hanging up, Vera turned to look at Mabie and said, "Mom, go back to sleep. Quill is downstairs." Mabie walked to the window and opened it. Sure enough, there was a familiar car parked there. She then nodded at Vera with peace of mind and said, "Alright, go ahead. I'll go back to sleep right away. Stay safe."
"Sure, Mom!" Vera pushed the door open and ran downstairs.
In the silent night, there was only one car parked next to the street lamp. Vera ran over to open the door and sat in the passenger seat.
Mabie watched her getting in the car from upstairs. After making sure that Vera would not be in danger, she closed the windows and went back to sleep.
The car turned and left.
"Seat belt."
Quill reminded her, and Vera

immediately reacted. She frantically fastened her seat belt as she asked, "Isn't Minerva only due two days later? She's delivering early? Has something happened?" It was probably because his younger sister was about to give birth; Quill was a little worried as well. The expression on his face was solemn.
"I'm not too sure. Let's get to the hospital first."
"Alright."
When the two of them arrived at the hospital, Minerva had already entered the labor room. Only Abigail, Beanie, and Master Collins were left outside. Seeing the two of them hurrying over, Abigail and Master Collins both nodded at them as a form of greeting.
"Uncle Quill, Auntie Vera." Beanie ran toward them.
"Beanie, where's your Mommy?" Vera asked as she panted.
"Mommy's in the labor room."
Hearing that, Vera looked around and asked, "Did your father go in with her?"
Beanie blinked and nodded, "Yes!"
The corners of Vera's mouth twitched. He actually accompanied her into the labor room?
Although she was somewhat surprised, Vera felt envious after some thought. She wondered if her husband would be with her when she gave birth. Thinking of that, Vera involuntarily glanced at Quill. He had been frowning all the while, and he did not notice Vera's gaze and thoughts at the moment.
"What did the doctor say? Why is it earlier than the expected date? Will there be any danger?"
Hearing his questions, Vera realized that she was thinking about matters she shouldn't have at that time. She shook her head and then went forward.
Seeing that the both of them were

rather worried, Abigail stood up and ced them, "Don't worry. It's just two days early, not two months. It's normal."

Abigail was a doctor back then, and her words carried authority. When the others heard that, they were all finally relieved.
Then they sat on the bench by the corridor of the hospital.
In the labor room.
Minerva laid on the bed with her forehead drenched in a cold sweat. Maddox was by her side, accompanying her. He held her hand the entire time. However, from the expression on their faces, Maddox's expression was much worse than Minerva's, and he was even more sweaty than her.
Minerva took a look at Maddox and couldn't help but smile seeing him like that.
"I'm the one giving birth, not you. Why do you look like you're in more pain than I am?"
Maddox didn't reply.
Upon hearing that, he held her hand more tightly and asked her in a low voice, "It hurts a lot, doesn't it?"Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Minerva shook her head, "It's fine. I can still handle it."
She had given birth before, so the second labor was much easier. Although it was still uncomfortable for Minerva, seeing Maddox was so nervous, she thought she shouldn't scare him.
After thinking for a moment, Minerva asked him, "Why don't you go out first and wait for the baby to be delivered?"
Hearing her words, Maddox shook his head firmly and said, "I want to be with you."
