The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1227

Most men can’t stomach the bloody scene of a birthing room.

The fear is that it might sour the relationship, a risk they're not willing to take.

But Isaac was adamant, “Let me in.”

The doctor tried to dissuade him, but Isaac wouldn’t hear it. All he could think about was Brittany going into labor, his heart aching with anticipation.

When Noel and the gang arrived and saw how frantic Isaac was, they convinced the doctor to let him in.

After all, his brother was out there, worried sick.

In the delivery room.

Brittany had changed into the hospital gown, lying on the bed, while the midwife was preparing for the delivery. Seeing Isaac entering, she frowned, “Mr. Salter, how did you get in here?”

“To be with her.”

Isaac, seeing Brittany’s pale face twisted in pain, felt his heart clench. He moved to approach her.

“Stay back.”

Brittany immediately said, “Just stay there!”

“But Bri—”

“If you come any closer, I…I won’t be able to keep it together,” Brittany struggled to say. “Just seeing you makes me want to cry. Stay back.”

Isaac, desperate and anxious, grabbed the doctor, “Can’t you give her an epidural?”

Why hasn’t it been done yet?

The doctor, trembling, replied, “Right away!”

The epidural had to be administered before labor intensified, and they were already preparing it.

Isaac let go of the doctor, “Hurry!”

Each minute Brittany was in pain felt like an eternity to him.

After the anesthesiologist administered the epidural, Brittany’s whimpers filled the room.

The pain eased significantly, and Isaac finally could get closer. He walked to the bedside, holding Brittany’s hand, whispering comforting words.

The labor went on for over an hour, and thanks to the epidural, Brittany wasn’t in too much pain, feeling only waves of pressure in her lower abdomen.

Isaac was in a daze, his entire focus on Brittany. He gripped her hand tightly, his dark eyes locked on her, “Just a little longer.”

And then, a cry broke through the darkness.
