Met with Courtney's baffled expression, Joshua calmly said, "Didn't you find it noisy?"
He side-eyed Courtney and added, "Since you find it noisy, get out."
At that moment, the driver stopped the vehicle by the side of the road.
Seeing Courtney not moving, Joshua swept her another gaze. "We're rushing to the hospital. Get out. Don't waste time."
Courtney's face instantly paled upon Joshua's cold words. She bit her lip, trying to explain herself.
"Mr. Lynch, I was just saying this on your behalf. Don't you find it noisy? You just returned to Banyan City, and there is so much for you to do that you have to even work on the way. Right now, time is just being wasted because of them..."
Joshua smiled. His deep voice was rather icy as he remarked, "A mother-to-be is bearing the pain and suffering to deliver her child. You can't feel her greatness, yet you only hear the noise?"
He glanced at Courtney sideways coldly. "And to think that you're a woman."
Then, Joshua swept Courtney another glance. "Get out.
With that, he lowered his head and continued reading the documents in his hand.
Courtney bit her lip. She wanted to say something else, but she was shocked by the powerful and cold aura Joshua emitted that she was at a loss for words.
In the end, she could only bite her lip, took her bag, and got out of the vehicle.
The vehicle moved once more, and Anne was still in immense pain. Initially, because of what Courtney said, she tried her best to be quiet, but as it got on, it was so unbearable that she could not help but start screaming again.
The driver sped up, finally reaching the hospital in the quickest time possible.
Luna had already called beforehand. When they reached the hospital, the obstetricians and nurses were already waiting by the entrance. Anne was pushed into the delivery room.
The lights on the operating sign were on. John clasped his hands together, so nervous that he did not know what to do.
Christopher was rubbing his hurting ears caused by Anne's scream a moment ago. He took his phone out t o update Bonnie on the situation.
