Chapter 1187
Minerva actually wanted to tell him that she felt more pressured having him there. After all, when she was in pain, Maddox looked as if he was more painful than her.
At that thought, Minerva felt a little speechless.
She felt as if the one who was giving birth was actually Maddox and not her.
The doctor came over and glanced at Maddox as he advised, "You can accompany your wife during labor, but remember to encourage her and cheer her up."
Maddox nodded slightly, indicating that he heard it.
After that, Minerva did as the doctor instructed. At the critical moment, she was in so much pain that her face was pale all over. Maddox moved his hand to her front and said, "Bite my hand if you feel pain. Don't just hold it in."
Minerva's pale lips were stained with blood as she bit her lips too hard.
Minerva was stunned when she saw Maddox put his hand to her mouth. She did not bite down. On the contrary, Maddox got anxious instead and put his hand directly into her mouth.
Minerva was rendered speechless.
"Just bite if you're in pain. Don't hold it in!" Maddox said!
Minerva really wanted to push Maddox's hand away. After all, his hand was made out of the flesh as well. If she bit him, she would be relieved a little, but he would have to bear more pain after that.
Thinking of that, Minerva shook her head. In fact, she could still endure it.
"C'mon, bite." Maddox coaxed her; his expression and tone were as if he was coaxing a child to eat. Minerva was like the child who wouldn't eat even when the food was right before her mouth.
When the nurse saw that scene, she couldn't help saying, "Miss Hanover, if your husband wants you to bite him, just bite him then. Since he's not afraid of pain, why do you care? Moreover, this is the time to do it; only then will your husband know how much you've suffered. It's not easy for women to give birth."
Minerva listened to the nurse's words, but she wasn't interested in doing so. If a woman wanted her husband to know that delivering a child was not easy, she just wanted him to pay more attention to her so that he would help take care of the child after the child was born. But Maddox had been watching her closely lately. After the labor, he would surely treat the mother and daughter preciously like a piece of fine jewelry, so there was no need for her to do such a thing.
Although Minerva thought so, the sudden pain still made her unable to control herself, and she bit Maddox's hand.
Out of the blue, Maddox felt pain in his palm. As he hadn't expected it, he almost let out a muffled groan, but he managed to control himself.
Seeing that, the nurse and the doctor both looked at Maddox.
There were indeed men who had accompanied their wives during labor, and there were also some who had offered their hands for their wives to bite on. Although they did so, they would still physically feel pain and frown.
But right then, they couldn't see any expression on Maddox's face, not even a single frown.
The pain was still there, and the doctor continued to guide her along as Minerva followed the doctor's instructions.
The group of people waiting outside the labor room tacitly did not speak at all. After all, no one knew what to say at that moment. They didn't want to make each other even more nervous by talking about Minerva's condition, and it was not appropriate for them to talk about other things either.
Time passed, and Beanie began to lie against Vera. Seeing that, Master Collins couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
Although Vera was close with Minerva, they still weren't related after all. How could Beanie be so close to her? Thinking of that, Master Collins stretched out his hand and pulled Beanie's clothes. He said sternly, "Beanie, sit properly."
Beanie rubbed his drowsy eyes and looked at Master Collins in a daze, "Great-grandpa, what is it?"
The dazed look on his face was simply too cute. Master Collins stroked his head as he said, "Sit by yourself. Why are you laying on someone else, troubling her? Or you can come over to me."
Only then did Vera understand the
t
meaning behind Master Collins's words. Did he feel that Beanie was× causing her trouble? She quickly waved her hands and said, "It's fine, Master Collins. Let Beanie lay on me. He's still a child, after all. He must be tired waking up in the middle of the night."
Jarold didn't know how to refute.
He was slightly upset on the inside. "What do you know? I just want my great-grandson to be closer to me." He thought. He couldn't believe she didn't understand his words.
Hearing that, Beanie nodded as well. He then found another posture and laid in Vera's arms with satisfaction, closing his eyes as he said, "Auntie Vera, do wake me up when Mommy's out."
"Sure." Vera nodded and pulled Beanie's sleeve down. Then she took off her coat and draped it around Beanie's body, snugged. She then said softly, "Beanie, just sleep if you're sleepy. I'll call you up later."
Watching that scene from the side,
Master Collins was quite jealous. However, in his heart, he felt that Vera treated his great-grandson well. He then looked at Quill, who was beside her. The two of them were sitting close to each other. Was there any distance between the both of them? Not at all.
No matter how close a man and a woman's relationship was, they wouldn't sit so closely together.
After giving it some thought, a flash of inspiration came to his mind.
Were they in a relationship?
As if they were confirming his guess, Quill frowned slightly when he saw Vera taking off her coat. Then he took off his blazer and put it on Vera without another word.
Vera was dumbfounded.
She couldn't help but feel embarrassed; there were two elders there with them. If she had known that Quill would do that, she should have asked him to cover Beanie with his blazer. Wasn't that killing two birds with one stone?
Vera felt really awkward after thinking forth, but Abigail, who was on the side, seemed to not care about whatever she saw at all. She just smiled faintly and shifted her gaze away.
Master Collins, on the other hand, stared at them the entire time. His gaze even fell on her face a few times.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Vera felt awkward at first, but after some thought, she felt that it didn't matter. Everyone would know of their relationship sooner or later; she had to just get through it.
Time passed by slowly, and they
waited for a long time. Everyone was
not sleepy at all, although it was really late at night. Even Beanie, who
was lying in Vera's arms with his eyes closed, had his whole heart focused on his mother in the labor room.
Finally...
The door of the labor room was pushed open. Hearing the sound, everyone got up instantly except for Vera as Beanie was still lying on her.
However, Beanie also got up quickly, and Vera followed along.
After walking two steps, she found that her legs were slightly numb, and it was somewhat difficult for her to walk.
It was also at that moment that they heard the doctor's congratulations.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Yardley has given birth to a daughter."
