Book:My Husband Hates Me Published:2024-5-1

Inside the delivery room, Dorothy was given an anesthetic. However, she didn’t know whether it was because her nerves were too thick or if the anesthetic didn’t have much of an effect on her body. She was still very conscious, and she could very clearly feel the pain. Her stomach felt heavy and was in extreme pain.
She felt as though the injection was given to someone else and not her.
After struggling for over an hour, she was in so much pain that she had almost turned mad, her mind was in a chaotic state. Her face was as pale as a piece of paper, and she was lying on the delivery bed with sweat all over her body. Her breathing was weak. Sometimes she could breathe properly, sometimes it was difficult.
The smell of blood lingered in the air.
The attending female doctor continued to cheer her on, “Mrs. Scott, the child hasn’t come out yet. Hold on, hold on for a little while longer.”
Dorothy nodded. As soon as she responded, she suddenly felt her stomach being cut open by the doctor. Her body was trembling fiercely and she almost jumped up from the delivery bed from the pain.
The drug wasn’t working for her. She didn’t fall asleep. She could clearly feel every little thing the doctors were doing to her body.
She could feel the teeth of the sharp blade cutting through her belly. She could feel the knife in the doctor’s hand stabbing deeper and deeper into her body. She felt a pair of hands going into her open stomach, gently touching her body, and carefully take the baby out.
Thinking of the baby who had struggled to be with her until now, Dorothy suddenly felt as though her whole body was shot up with a huge dose of strength. She looked up in a daze, gritted her teeth and looked at the man beside her who was holding her wrist. She smiled weakly at him with tears in her eyes. “Don’t worry, both the child and I will be fine.”
Credence gently wiped the sweat off her forehead. “Yes, you and the child will be safe and sound! In my eyes, no matter what happens, you will always be beautiful! Think about Belle, think about how difficult it was for you to give birth to her. Or of how badly I’ve hurt you, yet you still insisted on giving birth to her. This time, so long as I’m here cheering for you, you’ll be able to give birth to the baby. I believe in you, you do it!”
He didn’t know exactly what it was that he had said that touched Dorothy’s extremely fragile feelings then. But then, all at once, her eyes were wet with tears that flowed down her face.
Six years ago, when she gave birth to Belle in a hospital in Monticello, she didn’t have Credence by her side. No matter how painful and uncomfortable she was, she could only grit her teeth and bear it alone. She had endured such a cold and painful moment for so long. By the time she successfully gave birth to Belle, she still hadn’t shed a single tear, but she did bite her lower lip until it was mangled.
But this time, with him by her side, her strong resolve wavered and she felt helpless. Her tears flowed out easily. She felt wronged and wanted to cry.
It was probably because she knew that he was here to share the burden she was suffering and that he would protect her even if the sky fell down. It was because of him she managed to find the courage to hold on until the very end.
In the end, wasn’t a woman’s life something for a man to love and protect wholeheartedly for the rest of his life?
During this period of time, he had done a lot of things to show that he cared about her, more than she had ever imagined. He cared about her, he really did, and he was willing to sacrifice his own life for her. So, why should she be so hypocritical and give up so easily?
Dorothy blinked her blood-red eyes. Her body was in so much pain that she shivered, but she was still holding on. She gritted her teeth and endured it all. She smiled a very beautiful smile just for him. “Credence, I, love, you!”
She loved him, even though she knew that she might lose her life, she was willing to take the risk, so as to not have any regrets between the two of them.
Because of the pain all over her body, she had to shout out each word one at a time so that she could be heard.
But every time she spoke a word, she would be in so much pain that she let out a hissing sound. To Credence, it felt like his heart was the one that was being torn apart. He could feel the pain she was feeling from her hiss.
The man held her hand and let her cling to his muscles. Using his other hand, he grasped the stainless steel bed railing. After that, he pressed his forehead against hers. His black eyes shone like water. He spoke hoarsely, “Baby, I love you too. I love you very, very much!”
The loving words that came from his deep voice sounded extremely charming, it was enough to captivate every woman in the world.
This man, who had always been as firm as steel, was so gentle and tender for the woman he loved.
Credence had always been strong-willed and very reserved. He rarely spoke about love in front of her, let alone directly confess it to her in front of so many doctors.
Dorothy was shocked, tears poured down her face. Her body was in pain but still felt a sweet sensation in her heart.
Once this man went crazy, he would absolutely spoil her
All of the misfortunes from the past four years of their marriage, the torture of being separated for six years, made this moment all the more special and would do so for the rest of their lives.
She was so happy that her tears ran down her pale cheeks, it blended in with her cold sweat.
Her body was cold, but her heart felt hot, like a volcano that was on the verge of erupting.
She believed that since he had openly confessed to her in public, she should be strong enough to hold on till the end, she should be able to resist the pain until the child was taken out of her belly by the doctor!
She screamed, “Ah… ”
The doctor must have pulled on something, as Dorothy suddenly arched her body back. It was as though her heart and lungs had been torn apart. Her dark eyes were about to pop out of her eye sockets.
She had been given an anesthetic, but why did it still hurt so much? This hurt twice as much as a normal child delivery.
Dorothy gritted her teeth, her face was distorted from the pain. When Credence quickly put his finger into her teeth to stop her from swallowing her tongue, she almost bit his finger off.
Her upper body was held up by several layers of thick blankets, which blocked Credence’s line of sight. When he smelled the heavy scent of blood, he didn’t need to take a second look to know what kind of pain she was in.
The anesthetic wasn’t working, but they were in the middle of the operation, she couldn’t take another injection. Such an act was equivalent to her getting a cut on her abdomen while she was fully conscious.
He had once suffered such pain when he was on a mission. The bullet shot into his chest and was stuck in his ribs. But they were deep in the mountains, it was no place for surgery. He had to depend on his strong willpower to endure the hot sterilized knife an accompanying medical officer used on his wound. As they cleaned away his muscle fibers, they carefully avoided any blood vessels. Finally, the medics found the small bullet in his bloodied ribs and dug it out.
He was a soldier and a man who had undergone rigorous training. When he thought of that experience, he felt numb all over. He did not want to experience it again.
Dorothy was a woman who was in very poor health. How could she withstand it?
Credence’s eyes were red. He looked deeply at Dorothy, who was gritting her teeth, his heart ached. “Honey, once you’ve given birth, let’s never have another child again! You won’t need to take contraceptive pills, I’ll get a castration!”
Dorothy was dizzy from the pain. Suddenly, when she heard that he was going to castrate himself, her eyes, which were filled with tears, suddenly turned dark, she turned to stare. Her heart ached for a while, and then she smiled. She muttered, “Well, okay!”
On the other end of the delivery bed, the attending female doctor suddenly shouted out in surprise, “Mr. Scott, please hold Mrs. Scott’s hands and feet, the child will be coming out soon.”
Credence, being the overbearing man that he was, made sure that every doctor here had to be female, he even made it an order that none of the doctors would lay a finger on her apart from the ones performing the surgery.
The doctors couldn’t do anything about that. They had no choice but to obey the female doctor’s instructions.
“Honey, did you hear that? The baby is safe, it’s going to come out soon.”
Credence stood up immediately. He slowly pulled out his finger that was in Dorothy’s mouth. He then held down Dorothy’s hands with one hand and her legs with the other according to the female doctor’s request.
She was very slim. He alone was enough to firmly hold her down.
Having heard him, Dorothy nodded weakly. “Okay.”
20 minutes later, the nurse cleaned the baby’s small body, then wrapped it in a towel and a cap.
However, apart from Dorothy’s slight cry of pain, no one present heard the baby’s cries.
The baby was safely removed from Dorothy’s womb. It had almost been an hour since, but it hadn’t cried at all!
