The moment Raeleigh woke up, she could hear Deanna screaming. It sounded like she was in a lot of pain this time.
Raeleigh hurried into the room and saw Deanna crying in pain. Hannah’s heart felt hurt when she saw her daughter in so much pain.
The most annoying thing was that none of Jacky's family was there in the hospital.
Since Jacky wasn't there, they couldn't do anything either.
Hannah was close to asking Deanna to have the surgery but she bit her tongue.
Everyone could not wait for Deanna to finally go into active labor. In the end, they waited for an entire day but Deanna was still not ready to give birth yet.
The doctor continuously monitored the dilation of her cervix. That night, when the doctor came out of the ward, a look of panic crossed her face. She froze when she saw Rayan.
When Rayan saw the look on the doctor's face, he demanded, "What's wrong?"
The doctor said in a trembling voice, "It can't be! I must be dreaming!" "Rayan." Hannah was frightened by the doctor's words. She was worried that there was something wrong with her daughter or the baby.
"Spit it out!" Rayan looked at the doctor and said impatiently.
"She's having twins."
The doctor suddenly announced.
In her years of experience as an obstetrician, this would be her first time birthing twins. Although Deanna came for an ultrasound every fortnight, it failed to show that she was bearing twins.
If she did not keep her medical records, she wouldn't believe that this was actually happening.
Rayan and Hannah looked at each other, both stunned for a moment. Then, Hannah said, "How is it possible?"
Rayan held his wife in his arms and thought for a moment. "What should we do now?"
"I just did an ultrasound and I realized that there were two heartbeats. It's too late to do anything else now. I have no choice but to do a cesarean section."
"What are you waiting for?" Rayan bellowed. Her daughter's and her babies' life were on the line. He could not believe that for the past eight months, the doctor failed to notice that Deanna had two babies in her stomach and not one.
"What the hell are these doctors doing?"
Rayan's patience was wearing thin. They had waited nearly fifty hours, yet the babies were still not yet born.
Just as the doctor was about to enter the room to prepare Deanna for delivery, Jacky exited the elevator and toss his briefcase aside. He took off his coat and ran towards the delivery room. The sound of his leather shoes squeaking against the floor could be heard. By the time Raeleigh looked up, Jacky was already in front of her.
Rayan's face fell slightly. He did not remember anyone informing Jacky that Deanna was about to deliver. He wondered whether it was his son who told him?
Rayan looked over at Zorion, but the look in his son's eyes told him that it was not him.
"Deanna! Where's Deanna?" Jacky frantically asked. He could not think of anything else but Deanna.
The doctor wasn't sure what was going on, so she did not answer him.
Raeleigh then spoke up, "She's inside. The doctor just found out that she's having twins. She might be in danger. They need someone to sign the consent form and to decide whether she was going to have a natural birth or a C-section."
Jacky paused for a moment before walking towards the delivery room. As he walked, he asked, "How dilated is she?"
Everyone around them was stunned. By the time they came back to their senses, Jacky had already run into the delivery room. The doctor quickly followed.
After entering the door, Jacky hurried over to Deanna and reached out to hold her hand, giving her a boost of energy.
