"You're not my Jeremy! No! You're not!" Cornelia pushed Jeremy's hand away with all her might, struggling to escape his embrace.
Her Jeremy would never leave her, do anything to upset her, or hurt her! Yet, this man in front of her had done everything to hurt her.
No matter how much Cornelia struggled, Jeremy held her tightly, refusing to let go. "Cornelia, it's me! Don't move now, save your strength, I'll take you to the hospital."
Intense pain kept assaulting Cornelia, her struggle growing weaker, "You're not my Jeremy, no, you're not."
Her voice faded, her face turned pale, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. "It hurts, it hurts so much." Cornelia whispered. Not just physically, but emotionally too.
"Cornelia, I know it hurts. Hang in there a little longer. We'll see the doctor soon." Jeremy knew everything. His hand that was supporting her lower body was already soaked. He knew what it was, he wished he could bear the pain for her, but he couldn't.
What he could do now was to comfort Cornelia with his words as much as possible. "It seems our baby can't wait to be born. Hang in there a bit longer, there's an ambulance downstairs, and we'll be at the hospital soon."
Although Cornelia was still about a month away from her due date, he was prepared for any 'just in case' situations. Cornelia was drenched in sweat from the pain, but her first thought was of the baby in her belly. She had been carrying the baby for so many months; that was her pillar of strength.
"You must make sure the doctors bring my baby safely into this world, even if something happens to me, I don't want anything to happen to my baby." Cornelia said.
"Cornelia, stop talking! You listen to me, nothing will happen to you or the baby." Jeremy was almost going mad when he heard Cornelia say she might be in danger. He quickly carried Cornelia to the first floor, where an ambulance and medical staff were waiting. "My wife's water might have broken, you guys need to act fast. Listen, nothing can happen to her or the baby!"
