“Good! You’re willing to hit me for this woman. What kind of person are you?” Mrs. Ragsdill had never experienced such humiliation before. She had always been pampered since childhood and couldn’t tolerate this kind of suffering.
“Now that things have come to this point, isn’t it all because of you? If not for you, how could the company have ended up like this? How could our son have turned against us? It’s all because of your selfishness!” Mr. Ragsdill vented all the accumulated grievances and dissatisfaction he had held in his heart for years, as if it would make him feel better.
Jane watched them argue fiercely and wanted to step forward to intervene. After all, there were so many people watching outside.
“Stop fighting, this is not the place for quarrels in the company!”
Mrs. Ragsdill immediately joined in the fight with Mr. Ragsdill. Jane stepped forward to stop them, but Mrs. Ragsdill pushed her aside, causing Jane to take a few steps back and refrain from approaching further.
“It’s all because of you, all because of you!” Mrs. Ragsdill once again blamed Jane for all the conflicts.
Jane was about to leave when Mrs. Ragsdill suddenly pushed her forcefully. Jane couldn’t maintain her balance and fell to the ground, causing her assistant to panic.
“Jane, Jane, are you okay?” The assistant cried in distress.
The Ragsdill parents also stopped, looking at Jane on the ground in so much pain, feeling a twinge of guilt.
“Is there something wrong?”
Jane felt pain all over her body, clutching her stomach tightly, sweat dripping down her forehead. She shouted to her assistant, “Call an ambulance!”
In just a few minutes, the ambulance arrived and took her away. The assistant followed, but the Ragsdill parents dared not approach.
In the car, Jane could feel a continuous flow of liquid beneath her body. She quickly dialed Patrick’s phone and shouted with her last bit of strength.
“My water broke…”
Patrick was stunned for a moment, then immediately stopped all his work and had someone notify the doctors at the hospital.
“How could it be so soon? Isn’t the due date still two weeks away?”
Patrick’s eyes filled with anxiety as he video-called her throughout the journey. Watching Jane’s pale face, his heart couldn’t help but race.
“The car is ready.”
The butler’s urgent voice came through, and Patrick hurriedly rushed to the hospital, not forgetting to check the things he had prepared.
“Did you bring the prepared items?”
Soon, the car stopped in front of the hospital.
The hospital staff brought out a stretcher, and Jane was placed on it.
Throughout the journey, Jane endured intense pain in her lower body, sweat beads the size of beans forming on her forehead.
“Patrick…”
Jane softly called Patrick’s name. They say giving birth is the ultimate test for women, and now that things had come to this point, she was starting to feel afraid.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m here.”
Patrick lowered his head and smiled, unaware that deep inside, he was just as nervous.
Although it was not yet the due date, Jane was carrying twins this time, and her belly was larger than that of an average expectant mother.
Soon, Jane was carried into the delivery room, and the doctor came to examine her, looking surprised.
“I didn’t expect that her cervix would already be dilated three centimeters on the way here. Hurry, prepare for surgery.”
Hearing these words, Patrick’s heart tightened, and he tightly held Jane’s delicate hand.
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
He reassured Jane’s emotions repeatedly, and Jane smiled and nodded. The next moment, she was taken into the operating room.
The red light came on, and the surgery began.
Patrick stared blankly at the closed operating room in front of him, his hands covering his head. The usually unruly man’s lips were trembling slightly at this moment.
The assistant waited at the door.
“What’s going on? Wasn’t she supposed to negotiate peacefully?” Patrick’s face was full of anger. Everything was fine just now, but how could things go wrong in less than an hour?
The assistant didn’t dare to hide anything and explained the situation.
Upon hearing this, Patrick became furious. “Who does he think he is? If anything happens to the babies, I’ll take his life!”
However, less than an hour into the surgery, the doors of the operating room opened.
“Doctor, how is she?”
Patrick took big strides forward. The surgery ended so quickly, he found it hard to believe.
The doctor shook his head and sighed lightly.
Patrick furrowed his brow, took a deep breath, but his hands couldn’t stop trembling. “How is she?”
“The patient’s body is weak, and the babies are too large. She’s currently experiencing a difficult delivery.”
“A difficult delivery?”
“How could this happen…” Patrick gritted his teeth. He had been taking great care of Jane these days, but he hadn’t been able to avoid this outcome.
“I want to go in and see.”
“Now the patient is experiencing heavy bleeding and is unconscious even after being anesthetized. It’s better for the husband not to go in without the pregnant woman’s consent.”
The doctor shook his head. After all, in this situation, the husband couldn’t easily be allowed to see without the pregnant woman’s consent.
“Heavy bleeding?”
Patrick’s heart tightened, and he grabbed the doctor’s collar. “You must ensure the safety of my wife. Otherwise, I’ll make sure all of you accompany her in death!”
“Sir, she is still unconscious. Please calm down…”
The nurse hurriedly intervened, and the doctor was able to continue speaking.
“I understand your feelings, but the patient is currently experiencing heavy bleeding and urgently needs a blood transfusion. However, the hospital’s blood bank is running low, and there is currently no matching blood type available…”
Upon hearing this, Patrick forced himself to calm down.
He was the only one holding it together now. If he panicked, what would happen to Jane?
“I can…”
Patrick said in a low voice. Like Jane, he also had a rare blood type.
“Really? That’s great.”
The doctor nodded. “However, we currently need a considerable amount, and I don’t know if you can handle it.”
“I’ll give as much as needed. Even if I have to exchange my life for my wife’s, it doesn’t matter.”
Seeing the determination in Patrick’s eyes, the doctor was stunned for a moment.
He didn’t expect such a loving and affectionate couple to exist nowadays.
“Alright.”
The doctor nodded and had a nurse take him to the blood donation room, while he returned to the operating room to continue the surgery.
Soon, the surgery proceeded smoothly, and the next day, the sound of babies crying could be heard in the hospital.
Patrick had donated quite a large amount of blood, his face slightly pale. When he heard the cries of the babies from the operating room, his lips stretched into a smile.
“Congratulations, it’s twins.”
The nurse came out holding the two babies, preparing to show them to Patrick. However, to their surprise, Patrick didn’t even glance at them and walked straight into the ward to check on Jane’s condition.
Jane was still unconscious, perhaps due to the heavy bleeding. Her pale face was frightening.
Patrick gently touched the cold sweat on Jane’s forehead and turned to ask the doctor, “Is my wife okay?”
