Hoikong Village.
There was only a dimly colored table lamp in the room. Alice, lying on the bed, was half asleep and very restless.
Kennedy, who was beside her, noticed her emotions and took her hand, saying softly, -Are you uncomfortable?
Alice was afraid he was worried about herself, and she wasn’t that uncomfortable, so she didn’t tell him. He smiled and shook his head.
-No, but I don’t seem to be very sleepy today?
-Don’t be afraid. I’m here. -Kennedy reached out and gently tugged her hair behind her head, his voice calm and powerful, giving her a great sense of security.
-I know,” Alice nodded and closed her eyes again to induce drowsiness.
Actually, she was quite sleepy and wanted to sleep, but her belly was bothering her. That feeling was a little familiar… exactly the same as the night she gave birth to Jack.
But there were still two days before her due date. Would she give birth early?
“Don’t panic.” Alice closed her eyes as she consoled herself.
After a while, she fell asleep, but the uncomfortable feeling in her belly grew stronger and stronger, as if the little one was going to come out.
Alice opened her eyes again and met Kennedy’s nervous ones.
Her lips parted, and it was even difficult to produce a voice.
-Don’t be nervous. I’ve made a call and my aunt will be here soon.
-Raquel? -Alice nodded, thinking that Raquel had been a doctor and should know a little.
Kennedy felt distressed and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, “Does your belly hurt?
-Yes, a little,” Alice nodded her head. The feeling of discomfort was more obvious than before. She felt that she might actually have to give birth two days early.
After she came, she told Raquel about that idea.
Indeed, Raquel arrived early. She was accompanied by Mr. Jorge. Jorge, who was leaning on his cane, his old face was filled with tension.
-What’s the matter, are you about to give birth?
Raquel looked at him hopelessly, -Please, I ask you not to follow me or get involved in that. He insists on coming with me at midnight. It’s okay if you’re here. Let him shut up and not talk all the time. If I went to work, I wouldn’t have time to answer your problems.
Jorge, who was reprimanded by his daughter, was not angry. In those days he had become accustomed to being beaten by the ladies. He had done something wrong when he was young. His daughter was already willing to accompany him to his side, that he didn’t care how she spoke to him.
Anyway, he just needed to know that his daughter still took him as a father at heart.
-If you don’t have time to listen to me, leave me alone, just take good care of my granddaughter Alice!
That sentence was quite humane and Rachel was very satisfied, so she said no more.
She went into Alice’s room and Jorge was waiting for her outside.
Soon after, she saw that her grandson Kennedy had been sent away. She said a word to her heart, then went forward to speak to him.
-Kennedy, how is she? Is Alice about to give birth?
Kennedy’s eyebrows looked tense and his lips, pressed into a straight line. He did not respond to his grandfather’s words. The aura of his body was very cold!
Seeing him like that, George said with some joy, -Don’t worry. That’s the way it is for women to give birth. It’s all right if it ends. Don’t be nervous.
Kennedy’s eyebrows furrowed a little. As for George’s words, if the person in front of him wasn’t his grandfather, he could simply get a word out of his mouth, which would send him on his way.
It was a pity that the other party was an old man and that he was a father who had to be the example for others.
So, in spite of Kennedy’s distress, that no matter how upset he was, he did not speak.
Kennedy didn’t say a word, and Grandpa still wasn’t angry, one waiting anxiously, and the other, quietly.
After a while, Rachel came out of the room.
-Let’s go to the hospital. It should be an early delivery.
Kennedy’s expression did not slacken. She pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but Raquel said, “I’m here to take care of her. Go drive first and pick her up at the nearest place.
Kennedy nodded, -Okay, I’m leaving right now.
Then she turned and left.
George stood there and asked, -Where’s Jack?
The servant next to him replied, -He must have fallen asleep.
-Did he fall asleep? His mother is about to give birth, and this little boy can still sleep? Go wake him up.
Rachel fell silent.
The servant hesitated a little, but after all, it was George who commanded him, so he had to move his steps obediently. However, Rachel stopped him after he took two steps.
-Don’t go. The boy won’t be able to do anything if he follows us. The old man and the boy will only add chaos if they go. You two stay here obediently. I will not allow you to go anywhere.
George originally feared that he would get bored outside the delivery room. After all, that boy who called himself Kennedy wouldn’t talk to himself. Judging by his appearance, he might die in a hurry if he was anxious, so he planned to let Jack accompany him, they could chat together later.
He didn’t expect Rachel to actually deny his idea outright. “Good heavens no!” he thought.
-Who told you we’ll just cause trouble? The granddaughter will give birth and our whole family must accompany her. Even if we can’t offer help, we are capable of making a show of power. Let everyone see how important and how great the granddaughter of the Carlos family is. There are so many people to accompany the birth in the middle of the night.
Raquel didn’t even know what to answer.
It seemed to make sense. Raquel found she couldn’t refute it. It was really…
-Raquel, you think what I said is right, don’t you? Hurry up and call Jack.
The servant looked at Raquel and then at Grandfather, seeming to be asking.
Rachel had no choice but to nod, -Go and call him. If he falls asleep too much, then don’t wake him up.
-I’m going to call him myself,” the old man immediately stepped forward with the cane.
No one spoke and Raquel was free for a while, but Kennedy soon arrived in the car. Raquel instructed him to pick up Alice and put him in the back seat of the car. Kennedy drove and Raquel escorted Alice in the back. It was probably because she was in a hurry, she was out of Hoikong Village in the blink of an eye.
When George finally woke up Jack asleep and dressed him, the building had already been empty.
-Where are the people!!!! -exclaimed Grandpa a little dissatisfied, -Can’t you wait for us for a while?
Jack blinked and didn’t know what had happened, but he could guess a little with his wits.
Just before George had told him there was some business and asked him to get up quickly. He couldn’t guess what it was, but now that he saw that his parents weren’t there, Jack could guess. He tugged on George’s sleeve, whispering, -Great-grandfather, Mama’s going to deliver a baby, isn’t she? No one’s time is waiting for anyone. It’s okay to go alone later.
