A Naive Bride for the Sophisticated CEO novel Chapter 62

~ After Six Months~

Amelia got out of bed and shuffled to the bathroom. Her legs were shivering and her back was hurting like hell.

She needed to pee but it seemed like a big deal. She sat on the toilet and spread out her hands and held onto the wall that was on her two sides.

She shivered as the urine finally found its way out. She cleaned herself with the tissue and was about to stand up when she felt a sharp pain in her pelvis.

“Arghh!!!!” She cried out so loud, making James jump out of his sleep.

“Amelia!” He yelled and ran into the bathroom. He saw her struggling to stand up from the toilet.

He dashed to her and gave her his hand. “Are you okay?” He asked with great worry. He got so confused and didn’t know what to do next.

“I think. I think the. The babyy…” Amelia shuttered.

“That baby is coming?” He hurriedly pulled her hand and placed it round his neck. He held onto her waist and made her rest on his right side.

“I’ll help you walk. Can you walk?” He asked, and Amelia responded with deep breaths.

They began to head out of the bathroom, even though it was the slowest journey ever. James was very calm with her, making sure she could take every step.

They both began to sweat profusely. Amelia’s legs became weak as the weight of her upper body was becoming unbearable. She stopped walking and tried to adjust to the pain.

She stood upright and threw her head backwards when they got into the room.

“Grab the bag.” She mumbled, looking at the bag in front of the closet.

“Are you sure you can stand on your own?” He inquired.

“Yes, I can. Go ahead.” She responded weakly. James looked at her and reluctantly nodded. He let go of her and ran to where the bag was.

He picked it up and hung it on his shoulder. He hurried back to her and before he held her again, Amelia looked down and her eyes widened.

“The water! The water bag has broken!” She said to James in terror.

“That should happen, right?” James asked fearfully, his heart was beating very fast and his hands were shivering.

“Yes, it should. I just didn’t see it coming.”

“You didn’t see the labor coming? Let’s just go, okay? Hold onto my neck.” He said and she did exactly that.

She happened to have gained more stamina when she waited for a few minutes, so she could walk faster than she did initially.

Getting to the living room, they heard the doorbell ringing. “Who the hell is it now?” James asked out of frustration.

“Are you going to get it?”

“Get it? Am I insane? I am not letting go of you again. Whosoever it is should come back later.”

They ignored the ringing doorbell and kept approaching the door. Getting to the door, James withdrew his hand from Amelia’s waist and turned the door knob.

He opened the door and they both saw Penelope standing in front of the door.

Penelope drove into James’ mansion with Elena sitting next to her. She had an angry face on, but Penelope didn’t care.

“You would have to brighten up at the end of the day.” Penelope said.

“Why?? I told you I don’t want to come here with you. If you have issues with them, it’s not my business.”

“This is about your father!! If we don’t talk to Amelia and ask for her forgiveness, your father will go to jail.”

“I know! And I still don’t care. Didn’t he kill her parents? If he didn’t kill them and you two do according to the contract, there would be no need for all these. I wouldn’t have to accept her like my sister.” Elena responded.

Penelope narrowed her gaze and looked at Elena unbelievably. “Really? We are talking about your father! Not anyone else! Can’t you at least pretend that you care?”

“I don’t want to pretend. Bringing me here would give Amelia more reasons to throw father in jail, okay?”

“Enough!! Stay in the car till I get back. I shouldn’t have asked you to come.”

Elena rolled her eyes and pulled out her phone. “You forced me.” She mumbled, burying her head in her phone.

Penelope shook her head in disappointment and headed out of the car. She hurried to the door and pressed on the doorbell.

She pressed it the first time and got no response. She pressed on it the second time, this time longer than she did previously.

The door finally opened and she was shocked to see the state they both were in.

“Oh My… She is going to have the baby now?!” She screamed in both excitement and fear.

“Why are you here?” James asked, trying to help Amelia down the door.

“That can wait. We need to get her to the hospital.”

Amelia kept panting and raised her head to look at Penelope with her weary eyes.

“There’s no we. Go. Away.” She tried to catch her breath as she spoke.

“Stop being stubborn! This isn’t the right time, okay?” Penelope insisted and moved to Amelia’s right side to assist her from there too.

As soon as she lifted her hand from the other side, Amelia felt a slight relief, and she let out a sigh.

“This doesn’t change anything between us.” Amelia mumbled, and Penelope sighed and looked at James.
