The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1772

Jaime came back from the bathroom with Cory, his face as white as a sheet. He couldn't sit down anymore and after a bit, he wandered off to a corner.

Rosalynn noticed something was off with Jaime and went to check on him.

All she heard was Jaime crying, praying, "God, I'd give ten years of my life to ensure Paige has a safe childbirth. I've got no regrets. Please, I beg you."

Rosalynn frowned, "Jaime, what are you doing?"

Jaime jerked in surprise and turned around, his face was streaked with tears.

"Rosalynn..."

"What's wrong?" Rosalynn asked, concern in her voice. She’d rarely seen Jaime like this.

"There was a pregnant woman who died from amniotic fluid embolism during the day." Jaime's voice trembled as he spoke, "Why is giving birth so damn risky?"

He'd bumped into the woman's family when he took Cory to the bathroom.

The news had shocked Jaime.

And with Paige in the delivery room for so long, with occasional screams that he wasn’t sure were hers, he was getting more and more scared.

"Amniotic fluid embolism is rare, don't worry too much!" Rosalynn tried to reassure him, patting his head.

"Stop having babies! You and Paige should stop having babies!" Jaime was crying so hard he was about to snot bubble.

"Clean your tears. If Ivy sees you like this, she'll freak out." Rosalynn continued.

Jaime quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe his tears. Once he’d calmed down a bit, he followed Rosalynn back to wait outside the delivery room.

Next to the delivery room, there was a waiting area for family members.

Hilaria and Kate, who were usually early sleepers, were now still awake.

Hilaria was praying non-stop.
