Go After My Ex-wife

Chapter 1582 Need His Help

When Lottie heard that her daughter may potentially need a cesarean section, she was a little worried.

She knew it would be painful and the recovery process was significantly longer than natural birth.

Although everyone would like to have a painless delivery, Lottie knew that going under the knife

meant a different kind of pain.

Lottie shook her head and said, "I would prefer for her to have a natural birth. Having a cesarean

section would be the last resort. I had to endure such long labor when I gave birth to Deanna and

Zorion. I've also heard of some people who gave birth to perfectly healthy babies after enduring difficult

labor. However, I've never heard of any babies having brain damage due to oxygen starvation. Those

who have were born with it."

Lottie looked at her husband and asked, "Rhys, what do you think?" NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"But the doctor said that there would be risks."

Rossie answered truthfully.

Lottie looked at Rossie and said, "Rossie, I hope you understand that Deanna is my daughter. I want

the best for her. Giving birth is something every woman would have to go through. I've seen some

women choose their delivery date and the only way to do that is to have a cesarean section. Although

it's safer for both the baby and the mother, the recovery process is significantly longer."

Rossie did not say anything. She did not know why Lottie was talking to her about this.

"I want my daughter to have a natural birth. I would also want the same for my future daughter-in-law."

Lottie looked at Rhys. "Rhys, where are the doctors? We still have time to make a decision."

Rhys immediately sent someone to inform the doctors. In fact, they already had their own team of

doctors on standby. It just slipped their minds because they did not expect Deanna to suddenly have

contractions.

Soon, the team of doctors in the delivery room was replaced by Deanna's obstetrician. Deanna

breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her doctor.

The doctor explained to Deanna her current situation. After that, she was wheeled out of the delivery

room.

When Deanna emerged from the delivery room, she told Rossie and Lottie what her doctor had said.

"My doctor told me to wait a couple of days. She said my cervix is not dilated enough and I'm told to be

put on bed rest."

Deanna's cervix was not dilated enough and the doctor had prescribed bed rest. So, Deanna just had

to follow her doctor's orders.

As she lay down in bed, she suddenly felt a pain coursed through her body. She frowned and put a

piece of chocolate in her mouth.

She smacked her lips as she chewed on the piece of chocolate.

"The doctor said that eating chocolate will give me the energy I need to give birth," Deanna said

seriously to her parents.

Lottie had never heard of this and felt that the doctor was just trying to pull her leg.

In any case, she allowed Deanna to continue eating the chocolate. After a while, she looked at her

daughter and said, "You must tell me if you're in pain. Don't try to hide it."

"Mom, I'm not in any pain right now. The doctor said that if I had a cesarean section, it would leave a

huge scar. Although I might be able to recover faster, it'll have a long-term effect on the body. The

doctor also said that there's a one in ten thousand chance the surgery could go wrong. Even if in most

cases, the baby and mother would come out fine, I'd rather not take the risk."

Raeleigh stood aside, hearing Deanna's words. She felt that Deanna was a person who was easily

convinced. Although, the odds were low, but there was still a chance that the surgery could go wrong.

Raeleigh was an experienced woman. One thing she knew was that if a mother was destined to have

the baby, then the mother would have a safe delivery.

Just like her. Although she lost her first baby, but she was now pregnant with another one.

When she was pregnant the first time, she was very cautious, but in the end, she still lost the baby.

However, this baby was different. She had a strong feeling that this baby would be born safely.

"It's good that you know, but regardless, it's still going to hurt."

Lottie still had to remind her daughter. Deanna said, "I know it'll hurt. I have to push a baby out of my

body, it's definitely going to hurt. Besides..."

Deanna thought back to the time when she and Jacky first got together. If she managed to endure the

immense pain back then and survive, this was nothing.

Therefore, Deanna was not very worried.

Lottie stood up. Since she had managed to calm her daughter down, then the next thing to do was to

wait for her to give birth.

She was confident that nothing bad was going to happen in the next two days.

That night, Deanna began to feel pain and started to pant. When the pain subsided, she looked at her

belly and said, "Come on babies, be good."

After a while, she said, "I bet I was like that when I was in your grandmother's stomach. It's alright, I will

love you both regardless."

Deanna continued to talk to her babies. The people who saw her did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Raeleigh sat in her room. She would occasionally stand up and go out for a walk. Although she knew

that giving birth was very painful, especially after seeing Deanna in pain all day, it did not scare her. On

the contrary, she felt being able to give birth was a very sacred thing.

When Jepherson saw Raeleigh sitting along the corridor, he walked up to her and asked, "It's getting

late, why are you still not in bed?"

She was pregnant and it was not advisable for her to stay up so late.

Raeleigh said, "I just want to sit here for a few minutes. I'll head back soon. What are you doing here?"

"I came to see how Deanna's doing," Jepherson said as he stood in front of Raeleigh. After a while, he

turned around and walked up to Deanna's ward.

Jepherson was very calm when he walked away.

Jepherson wasn't lying when he said he came to see how Deanna was doing, but he also wanted to

see Raeleigh.

Raeleigh watched Jepherson as he entered Deanna's room. She did not show any expression on her

face.

However, Raeleigh did not leave.

After a while, Jepherson emerged from Deanna's ward on the maternity floor. The environment there

was a little different than the other floors. Most of the people on that floor were family members of

expecting mothers.

When Jepherson came out of Deanna's room and saw that Raeleigh had not return to her room like

she said she would, he asked, "What are you still doing here?"

Raeleigh was about to fall asleep. When she heard that Jepherson's voice, she raised her head and

looked at him then said, "I'll head back soon."

Jepherson walked up to Raeleigh and sat down beside her.

He just wanted to see how long it would take for Raeleigh to finally return to her room. However, she

did not go back until dawn.

When Jepherson saw the first appearance of light in the sky, he knew that he had to head back to his

room. He got up and walked towards the elevator.

Raeleigh just sat there, not looking at him.

She knew it was hard to get over a person. If the person did not hurt her, she could chalk it up to

experience. However, if the person hurt her, then she would not be able to forgive them.

Raeleigh leaned against Xanthus and closed her eyes, feeling sleepy. Xanthus hugged Raeleigh and

asked, "Since you don't want to see him, why don't you just tell him straight? Why do you have to hurt

yourself like this?"

Raeleigh wrapped her arms around Xanthus's. "I have no choice. He's the only one who can help me

find the person I'm looking for. I need his help."

Xanthus sighed. "Have you tried looking for the person yourself?"

"Yes, I've tried, but I couldn't find him."

If Raeleigh had a solution, she would not have asked Jepherson for help. Unfortunately, she did not

have a solution.

Xanthus patted Raeleigh's shoulder. "Alright, get some rest."

Raeleigh rested her head on Xanthus's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

All she could think about was Jepherson and Santiago. However, she was awakened just as she was

about to fall into a deep sleep.

Xanthus held Raeleigh's head and called her name. Raeleigh raised her head and looked at Xanthus. It

took her a long time before she realized that she was dreaming.
