The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 484: Labor

Vera clung tightly to Patrick's shirt in the dead of night, refusing to let him leave her side. She lay on the hospital gurney, her knuckles white with fear. "Honey, I'm scared. I don't want to give birth. I'm terrified."

Patrick held her hand as he ran alongside the doctors.

"Don't worry, honey. I'll stay with you, always," Patrick reassured her, holding her cold hands.

The nurse was about to push Vera into the delivery room, but Vera held onto Patrick's shirt. "Honey, come in with me."

"Okay, I'll change and go in with you."

The nurse leaned over Vera, comforting her and trying to get her to release Patrick's shirt.

"Mrs. Olteran, you need to let go of Patrick's shirt so he can change. Be good and let go."

Vera's eyes were red from crying. She had known all along that she would be a mess on the day of delivery.

"Vera." Molly, who was dressed in pajamas, rushed over to hold Vera's hand, her shoes nearly falling off in her haste when she heard Vera was in labor.

"It's okay, really. Don't be scared," Molly stammered, Sebastian following behind her, also in pajamas.

They had stayed at the hospital that night to accompany Ellie.

Molly kept saying it was okay, but she was also so nervous that she didn't know what to do.

Molly told the doctor, "I'll go in with her."

The doctor replied, "Only one person can go in. You stay outside and inform the family. Mr. Olteran, you need to go in. Mrs. Olteran needs you." Patrick nodded, gave Molly some instructions, and then pushed the gurney into the delivery room with Vera.

Molly nervously bit her fingers, and Sebastian quickly stopped her.

"Call the family."

Molly sighed. "Sebastian, I forgot my phone."
