Following that, Sam entered the delivery room with Olivia. Sam and Ollie's parents waited outside anxiously. Brenda even felt a little embarrassed when she heard that Sam was going into the delivery room with Ollie.
"Hey, is it appropriate for the husband to be there when a woman is giving birth?"
Emma, who was standing next to her, quickly answered, "Of course, it's appropriate. That's how he will know about the pain she has to endure for giving birth to his child. Besides, they are a couple anyway. There is nothing inappropriate about it. Don't worry."
Although Brenda had experienced the process of giving birth herself, she couldn't help but to feel anxious as her daughter was going to go through the same thing. She paced around in the waiting room anxiously.
In the end, Karl had to stop her.
"Stop pacing around, it's making me dizzy."
"I wasn't pacing around. I'm just worried about our daughter. Ollie is afraid of pain. Sigh."
"Don't worry. She's no longer a little girl after today. She's going to be a mother. She'll be
strong."
"That's true."
"Brenda, don't worry. Sam is with Ollie. Both she and the baby will be safe. Everything will go smoothly."
While the doctor was preparing, Sam accompanied Olivia.
She grabbed his hand as she had a sudden thought. She whispered to Sam, "Come closer. I have something to ask you."
He was obedient to her while they were in the delivery room. He immediately leaned over to her and asked, "What is it?"
"Whom was the person in the supermarket whom you sent to the hospital that day?"
Sam's body froze and he looked at her slightly in disbelief. Why was she asking that then?
Could it be that she already found out that it was Vera?
"Why? Didn't you say that she was a stranger? Was she really a stranger? Is she not one of your mistresses?"
Olivia joked. Her expression changed suddenly and she looked painful. "It's just one question. Entertain me, please?"
Sam was anxious when he saw her painful expression. He wanted to tell her what happened that day. In actual fact, he did tell the incident to Ollie once, but she fell asleep.
Hence, he didn't mention it again.
It was an ordinary encounter. Ollie would surely overthink if it was brought up repeatedly.
After all, the relationship between him and Vera had been a relatively sensitive issue.
As Olivia was going into labor then, he did not want to cause further problems. He said quickly, "Of course I will answer you. It was just a stranger. She accidentally ran into me and fell down. I wanted to tell you first, but she was rushing to go to the hospital. I couldn't bear to see her in that state, so I brought her instead."
After that, he half kneeled down and looked her in the eyes. "Ollie, I am telling the truth. That was what happened that day. I didn't intentionally leave you behind on your own that day. I even went back to the supermarket to look for you."
"Okay." She nodded with a smile, "Okay, I got it."
She looked as if nothing was out of the ordinary and that she had accepted his explanation. Yet, he still felt uneasy somehow.
He held her hand. "No matter what, you are the most important person in my life. Don't overthink it, okay?"
"Okay."
The unease in his heart was amplified.
It went on until Olivia was done giving birth. Olivia was afraid of pain, so she didn't want to have a cesarean section. The thought of cutting her belly open made her break out in cold sweats.
