Sherri gently patted Hackett's arm and requested him to set her down, but Hackett didn't have any response after she patted his arm once. Therefore, Sherri repeated the action.
"Please, put me down. Ava is about to give birth, and I need to get to the hospital right now. Hackett, oh, come on!" Sherri, feeling anxious to reach the hospital, exclaimed.
When Hackett finally snapped out of his blankness, he was bewildered and speechless. He hadn't fully awakened just now, and when the room erupted into a loud commotion suddenly, his initial thought was that there might be an earthquake. He rushed out of the room, carrying his wife, only to realize it was just music blaring.
This experience truly shocked him.
Even the Lithern Club wouldn't dare to blare such music so loudly. If Frank were to play such music in the Lithern Club like this, many people would surely end up deaf in a single night.
Yet, what was the deal with this music? And why was Sherri hiding her phone under her pajamas? Since when did she have such a peculiar hobby?
Hackett had never known about that, and his mind was filled with questions.
Sherri had already hopped down from Hackett's arms to change her clothes, instructing him to close the door at the same time. Despite the early morning hour and the likelihood of no one coming in, she wasn't keen on the idea of leaving the door open while changing.
After Hackett closed the door, he came to Sherri again and stood by her side, eager to address the doubts swirling in his mind.
"Look at your confused face," Sherri remarked as she changed. "That was just a small stereo connected to my phone. I paired it with Bluetooth before going to bed. If someone calls me in the middle of the night, the stereo rings."
Hearing this, Hackett examined the stereo at the head of the bed. Picking it up, he inspected it closely. "Isn't it just a dolphin-shaped lamp you bought before? So, it's actually a stereo?"
Sherri, now dressed, urged Hackett to drive her to the hospital, since her driving speed resembled that of a snail, fearing that Ava might experience much pain. If Ava did have any discomfort, she might end up facing being fired by Frank.
"Change your clothes first. I'll explain later. The one you just took is also a stereo. Also, it's not a dolphin but a colorful bird with a cute name. Rose specially chose it for me." Sherri was dressed neatly. She hadn't planned to put on makeup. After all, it was the midnight now.
Sherri leaned against the wardrobe and reached out to help Hackett put on his clothes. "Isn't it difficult for us to wake up once we fall asleep? I was afraid that I might miss Ava's call when she was about to give birth."
Hackett finally understood the first question in his heart. He quickly put on his clothes and went out with Sherri briskly.
Because he was in a hurry, Hackett didn't even comb his hair. He smoothed his hair casually with his fingers as he walked towards the parking space.
In the car, the engine roared to life. Hackett stepped on the accelerator and accelerated the car. "What's wrong with you hiding your phone under your pajamas when you sleep in the middle of the night? Can't I satisfy you on the bed?"
Could it be that his skills were too bad on the bed? That shouldn't be the case.
Seeing that Hackett had misunderstood, Sherri tidied her clothes and pinched Hackett's earlobe. She smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand. You're very great. Can't you feel it?"
Thinking back to Sherri's reaction during the sex, she always begged him to stop. It didn't seem like she was unsatisfied.
Sherri continued to explain, "I was just afraid that I wouldn't react if I left my phone too far away from the bed, so I hid it under my pajamas."
Hackett felt a bit speechless. He had to admit that Sherri was really a responsible doctor that she could even thought of this point.
At this moment, he was convinced by Sherri.
Two cars drove from different places to Athana Hospital. In the other car, Tom felt that he finally could see the hope and didn't have to take turns working the night shift anymore.
Forty minutes later, two cars arrived at Athana Hospital in succession.
Frank's car had just stopped in the parking space when Hackett's car followed closely behind and stopped at the side. This was the difference between the suburbs and the city.
Grace got out of the front passenger seat and helped to open the back seat. Frank carefully helped Ava out and reminded her worriedly, "Be careful."
Sherri rushed out of the car. "Hello, Mrs. Roberts, Ava. How are you feeling now? Has the labor pains increased?"
Grace nodded in response to Sherri. Originally, William had planned to come with them together. He had already dressed, but Grace insisted that he stay behind.
After all, after Ava went to the hospital, she wouldn't give birth immediately. Moreover, women didn't have a favorable experience during childbirth. During the checkup, they had to lift their clothes and remove their pants, making it inconvenient for a man to enter or leave the room. Grace was concerned about Ava's potential embarrassment, so she simply asked William to stay home and wait.
She instructed William to come over before Ava entered the operating theater. She also gave him a task and let him call Daniel to inform them that Ava was about to give birth.
If Daniel and the others were told to come over at this time, it would happen to coincide with Ava's checkup completion when they arrived. Grace had already calculated the approximate timing.
Ava shook her head in response to Sherri and said, "No, just a little pain."
Sherri made the arrangements with a serious expression, looking no longer as causal as usual. "Alright, what about the ward?"
She turned to Frank and asked about the ward.
Frank replied, "I booked it in advance. Trevon has taken care of it long ago."
Hackett slowly exited the car and approached Sherri, but before he could say something, Sherri asked him to go back, stating she was heading to work. She added, "Hackett, you can go back. Your mother will need help when Ruby and Liam wake up." Additionally, Rose was pregnant again.
Seeing his wife's determined expression, Hackett became serious and said to Frank, "Alright. Call me if you need anything. Bye, Mrs. Roberts."
