Chapter 234 Be A Father
The doctor paused and said, “She can’t give birth to the baby by herself. I can only perform the surgery. The fetus
is barely 30 weeks old. Even if the baby is born, the probability of survival is not too high. I hope you are mentally
prepared.”
After finishing his sentence, the doctor asked someone to bring the surgical consent form for Layla to sign.
Layla remembered what Yuliana had looked like when the latter was sent to the hospital. Her hands were trembling
when she signed.
Then, they waited anxiously.
After a while, Kendrick and Joyce also arrived. Upon noticing Layla and Annabelle, who looked solemn outside the
operating room, the couple immediately walked toward them.
Joyce asked, “How is Yuliana?”
Layla glanced at the closed operating room and said, “The surgery is not done yet. I don’t know what’s going
on inside.”
However, a medical staff went in and out urgently, and another doctor had hurried over earlier. Even though the
doctor did not say anything. Layla could still feel the danger.
Then, Kendrick questioned, “How long until Christopher gets here?”
Upon thinking of that, Layla felt a little upset. When Yuliana went for the surgery, Christopher happened to not be
around. Any woman would want her husband to be at the scene whenever she encountered things like surgery.
Layla replied, “I just called Christopher. His phone is still off. He should still be on the plane. I guess he’ll take an
hour or two to get here.”
Christopher was on a flight at 10 p.m. It was just past 11:00 p.m. at that moment. It would be at least one hour until
the plane landed. Christopher would take nearly 50 minutes to get to the hospital from the airport. By that time, the
baby might have been born..
He did not even know what Yuliana was going through at that moment.
Half an hour later, the door of the operating room opened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeveral doctors and nurses came out of the room. The one who had communicated with Layla walked toward her.
The doctor glanced at Layla and the others before smiling. “The patient and the baby are safe. He’s a strong boy.”
Upon hearing that, the people at the scene finally felt relieved.
The doctor told them about the condition of Yuliana and her baby. Yuliana was too weak and had just finished the
operation, so she needed to be sent to the ICU for observation for a few hours. She could be transferred to the
general ward if there were no problems. However, the baby was born prematurely and was sent to the incubator in
the ICU immediately. He needed to stay in the incubator for some time. After the signs of growth became normal,
he could be discharged from the hospital.
After the doctor had explained, Layla and Joyce asked some other questions. The doctor answered each question
patiently before leaving quickly.
After the doctor had left, everyone did not speak tacitly. For a moment, there was no other noise except for the
movement of the nurse who hurried in and out.
At that moment, all of them realized what was going on. Everything had been so sudden, and they had been
unprepared.
“Christopher is a father now,” said Layla: She burst into tears but was smiling. All kinds of emotions were mixing
within her. She did not know if she should be happy or sad for a moment.
Joyce also chuckled. She wiped away Layla’s tears and said with a smile, “It’s a good thing. Why are you crying?”
Layla could not expiain why she was crying, but what had happened that night appeared in her mind again. Joyce
did not see it personally and could not experience Layla’s anguish. The latter was very distressed.
She felt sorry for Yuliana.
It was already early in the morning when Christopher arrived at Juxshire.
Upon landing, he called Layla and asked, “Layla, where is Yuliana? How is she?”
Before Christopher got on the plane, Layla had sent him a message, saying that she had found Yuliana and was on
her way there.
The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds. At that moment, it made Christopher nervous.
Just as he was about to ask again, he heard Layla’s voice. “She’s fine.”
Upon hearing that, Christopher was in slight disbelief. He repeatedly confirmed by asking, “Is she really okay?”
Layla hummed softly in response.
It was Christopher’s turn to stop talking.
For some unknown reason, Christopher felt uneasy, and other emotions surged within him. He stopped and looked
at the passengers hurrying to the airport exit. He suddenly wanted to hear Yuliana’s voice.
He licked his dry lips and said nervously, “Is Yuliana next to you? I want to talk to her.”
Layla hesitated for a moment. “It may be a little difficult.”
Her tone had an emotion that Christopher could not understand.
Two seconds later, Layla smiled lightly and added, “Chris, congratulations! You’re a father now!”
For a moment, Christopher could not believe what he had heard.
It was not until Layla said something on the phone that Christopher’s thoughts slowly returned. He was sure that he
did not hear Layla wrong.
He interrupted Layla and said, “Layla, send me the hospital’s address.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone and strode toward the airport exit..
In the early morning, there were few vehicles on the road. After speeding all the way, Christopher arrived at the
hospital in 40 minutes.
At that time, Yuliana was still in the ICU. Christopher could only look at her from a distance through the door.
Yuliana was lying quietly on the bed, linked with various monitoring devices. Even from a distance, Christopher could
feel she was weak.
Kendrick stepped forward and patted Christopher on the shoulder. “Yuliana can transfer to the general ward – in
another hour. Do you want to see the baby?”
Christopher looked at Kendrick in a daze.
In fact, he had been in the hospital for a while. Logically, he should see the baby. For some reason, there was a
strange emotion in his heart, which made him delighted but a little panicked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe thought, “My and Yuliana’s child…”
Kendrick said, “Go and take a look. It’s a boy.”
Then, Christopher nodded hesitantly.
Yuliana slowly regained her senses from being unconscious but did not wake up. Her whole body was in a state of
soreness and weakness. She felt fatigued, and she had never been that tired in her life.
She just wanted to continue her sleep.
Thus, even though the effect of the anesthetic had subsided, Yuliana was still in a coma.
She was having a dream.
In the dream, she was covered in blood. A knife had cut her belly open, and someone took out a bloody mass and
handed it to her arms. She looked at it and found that it was a beautiful baby.
At that moment, Yuliana finally remembered that she was pregnant. It was her child.
Yuliana was overjoyed. She carefully wiped the blood off his face, wanting to kiss her baby. However, when her
fingers touched the baby’s body, she found that it was cold.
The baby had no breathing and no heartbeat.
She panicked and kept asking for help from the doctors and nurses at the bedside. However, they only looked at
her regretfully and said, “Sorry. We did our best.”
“No! No!” yelled Yuliana.
Then, Yuliana was awake.
eyes.
She lifted her eyelids and looked up in a daze. Tears kept rolling down from the corner of her She murmured, “No, it
can’t be!”
After Christopher had gone to see the baby, he immediately came back. After waiting for a while, Yuliana was
transferred to the general ward.
However, she did not wake up for a long time.
Not many people were needed to stay in the hospital for the time being. Kendrick and Joyce had gone back
since Winnie and Alex were at home. Worried that Winnie would be concerned, they dared not tell her the news of
Yuliana getting kidnapped.
