Chapter 183: Taking Emma home

Richard and Helena fussed over Emma like a pair of mother hens, their concern and care palpable in the air.

As Emma was wheeled away for a battery of tests in the obstetrics department, Richard felt his heart constrict with worry.

He wanted nothing more than to be by her side, to hold her hand and reassure her through

every step of the process.

One of the nurses seeing him so clingy to her hand jokingly asked if he thought she was about to give birth.

Richard wanted to stay regardless.

But the nurses had been firm in their instructions; Richard and Helena were to wait outside while Emma underwent the necessary examinations. And so, Richard found himself pacing the corridor.

"She'll be alright, dear," Helena murmured, "Emma is strong, and she has the best care

possible."

Richard managed a tight smile. "I know, Mom. It's just... after everything that's happened, I can't help but worry."

Helena laid a comforting hand on his arm, her eyes shining with understanding. "That's what it means to be a parent, Richard. From now on, your heart will always be split in two - one half belonging to you, and the other half belonging to your child." Richard nodded, his mother's words ringing true deep within his soul.
