You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 247

Lily and Joanne left delightfully the moment they saw the miscarriage. However, they did not expect to be faced with a swarm of police officers after they opened the door. Both Lily and Joanne were immediately subdued, and the masked pregnant woman was carried out. Joanne and Lily were shocked to find out that the pregnant woman they had beaten up was not Irene but a stranger. "What's going on?" Lily pointed at the stranger woman and asked Wayne angrily.

"What are you talking about? Isn't she the woman that you had asked me to kidnap?" Wayne retorted.

"Y-you! How dare you lie to me?" Even an idiot would know that Lily had been set up. However, she had found out too late. The police put Joanna and Lily under charges for kidnapping with murder intent.

According to Article 239 of the Criminal Law, anyone found kidnapping another person or holding them as hostage for the purpose of extorting property would be sentenced to more than ten years imprisonment or life imprisonment, and would be fined or confiscated of all assets. If the kidnapping resulted in the death or murder of the hostage, the person would be sentenced to death and have their property confiscated.

The police believed that the kidnapping posed a significant threat to the intended victim, which had even resulted in a miscarriage. Hence, they decided that Lily and Joanne should be sentenced to death.

After being appealed by a lawyer, they were sentenced to life imprisonment. So, Lily and Joanne were to be locked up in jail for the rest of their lives.

In fact, the whole scenario had been planned by Edric and Jordan. They took great precautions when Joanne returned to Haverland. They had planned to let her off if Joanne behaved well. After all, getting rid of her would mean avoiding any trouble appearing in the future. However, in the end, Joanne had indeed been up to no good and had gone to look for Lily. Edric knew immediately about their discussion to target Irene. Since those two brats intended to dig their own grave, they might as well fulfill their dream. Hence, they had planned the whole act and sent them to jail.

That pregnant woman was not really pregnant. It was all just a play.

After Joanne and Lily's matters were done and dusted, it was almost time for Irene's delivery. Edric went to prepare for Eden's stem cell operation. He hired the best hematologist and gynecologist to complete Irene's delivery and Eden's blood transfusion in the same hospital.

Eden was sent into the ward nine days before and had to undergo eight chemotherapy-filled days as planned. He was isolated from the outside world, and no one could enter his room except for the medical staff.

After eight days of chemotherapy and a day's suspension of medicine, it was the day of the surgery.

On the day of Eden's operation, Irene underwent a cesarean delivery in the operating room. Eden had been delivered naturally, but for the sake of Eden's stem cell surgery, Irene had to proceed with a C-section surgery instead. She was given anesthesia on the operating table, but she was still fully conscious. She could listen to the cutting sound on her skin, but her courage did not waver. Instead, all she had in mind was the wellbeing of her children.

Edric was guarding outside the operating room and he witnessed the entire surgery. It was a moment for him to witness a new life being born. When he saw with his own eyes the baby being taken out, he could not hold himself and felt too emotional. Tears welled up in his eyes instantly.

The nurse was busy measuring the height of the newborn while the doctor was taking the umbilical blood. Irene tried to see the child's appearance clearly upon hearing the clear sound of her baby crying. Edric noticed Irene's movements and whispered in her ears, "Irene, it's a boy, and he's a healthy baby. The doctor is taking the umbilical blood to treat Eden. You've worked hard!"

After finishing his words, he planted a kiss on Irene's forehead. The baby was wrapped up and placed in Edric's arms. Edric walked out with the baby in his embrace as Margaret, Kinsey, and Rowane waited outside of the operating room anxiously.

Margaret was the first to rush forward to carry the baby when Edric walked out, "My grandson! Oh, it's my grandson!"

Then, she asked Edric, "How's Irene?"

"Irene is fine. She will be out soon after they close her up." Edric answered, "Mom, you take care of Irene. I'll go and see Eden."

Margaret nodded. Rowane and Kinsey held on to the baby while waiting for Irene outside of the operating theatre.

The doctor took the blood of the umbilical cord for Eden's transplant. Eden's transplant was next to Irene's operating room for convenience. Irene was undergoing the final sutures when Eden began the blood transplant.
