Will she be okay?
Marco continued to look at his wristwatch as he exited the airport. He was currently in his black car with Pedro, heading towards their grand house.
“How much longer until we get there?” Marco asked, making Pedro glance at his master through the front mirror.
“I’m speeding up,” Pedro said, knowing
That his master was eager to meet Letta. However, during the journey, an accident occurred due to the heavy rain, making the drivers struggle a bit. Not to mention the fog that seemed to come from nowhere, making visibility even worse.
“Take a turn. Take a route without obstacles like this,” Marco said, prompting Pedro to turn the car around, taking a longer route, but at least they wouldn’t be stuck on the same road. Somehow, Marco felt his heart pounding. Was it because he would soon meet Letta, he thought with a faint smile. Marco couldn’t wait to see Letta’s reaction when she looked at him for the first time, as he hadn’t told Letta that he would be returning today. Marco wanted to surprise his wife.
Finally, it took about 30 minutes longer to arrive at their home, making Marco quickly rush in. However, what slightly surprised Marco was seeing several guards lined up outside, and others looking very busy. But Marco didn’t pay too much attention because right now, he wanted to meet Letta. Marco even ignored the greetings of the guards.
Meanwhile, Pedro, who saw the guards looking a bit suspicious, immediately walked closer. Pedro needed to find out what was really going on, letting Marco enter to meet Letta first.
Marco opened the large door of their house, then ran further into the house area. But Marco’s steps stopped when he saw Letta in pain. Especially the next moment, Marco could see Letta losing her balance. Desi, who was beside her, looked worried, seeming too shocked to prevent Letta from falling. This made Marco immediately run as fast as he could. Marco hoped that nothing bad would happen to his wife, until Marco managed to support Letta’s back.
“What’s happening?” Marco asked, making Desi still silent and stunned. Desi seemed shocked by what had almost happened to her mistress.
“Sir, forgive me,” Desi said, making Marco shake his head.
“What I’m asking is, what’s happening to Letta?” Marco asked again. But before Desi could answer his question, Letta screamed again while holding her stomach. Letta then gripped Marco’s shoulders tightly.
“Darling, I’m here. Look, I’ve come back,” Marco said, gently patting Letta’s face, making Letta slowly look at Marco.
“I really can’t bear it, it’s very painful,” Letta said, trying to press her stomach, making Marco slightly surprised at his wife’s condition. Her face was pale and even more gaunt, her body looked less filled than before. How could he have left Letta in such a terrible state and not know her actual condition, Marco thought. After that, he looked at Desi.
“What happened?” Marco asked, looking at Desi. But once again, Letta immediately stopped him.
“Quick, do something. I can’t bear it,” Letta said, making Marco want to answer Letta’s question when a fluid flowed past Letta’s legs, making Marco widen his eyes.
“Sir, it seems we need to take Madam to the hospital immediately,” Desi said, making Marco pause.
“Will she be okay?” Marco asked, carrying Letta, who looked increasingly pained.
“We need to take Madam immediately. It seems Madam is about to give birth,” Desi said, making Marco finally run out of the house. Marco then looked at Pedro, who was in the midst of talking to the guards.
“Prepare the car. We have to go to the hospital immediately. Letta is going to give birth,” Marco said, making Pedro quickly rush into the car.
“Quick, take the fastest route to the hospital. I don’t want to see her in more pain like this,” Marco said, looking at Letta in his lap, sweat dampening her pale face, while she continued to grip his shoulders, making Marco feel the pain that Letta was currently experiencing.
“I really can’t bear it. It’s so painful. Do something,” Letta said, making Marco nod as he gently stroked Letta’s face.
“Darling, just relax. We’ll be at the hospital soon. The doctor will take care of her. I’m here with you. I’ll never leave you again,” Marco said, making Letta nod. Letta tried to calm herself, taking slow breaths and exhaling. However, the pain struck her again amidst the pouring rain. Some roads looked congested, making Marco curse once more.
“Sir, it seems that some roads are closed due to the heavy rain,” Pedro said, noticing the anxiety on his master’s face.
“Take any clear route. We have to get to the hospital quickly. I don’t want anything bad to happen to Letta. If necessary, just break through anything in front of us, be it road closures or whatever it is,” Marco said, making Pedro understand how anxious his master was. Pedro accelerated the car again, taking a route that was thought to be faster to take them to the hospital. Marco continued to hold Letta’s sweaty, cold hand, trying to reassure her to stay strong. Eventually, they arrived at the front of the hospital, making Marco immediately carry Letta.
“Quick, get the doctor ready. My wife is about to give birth,” Marco said again, making the nurses at the hospital look surprised. They immediately took Letta to be examined.
“Sir, you should wait outside,” one of the nurses said, making Marco shake his head.
“I have to accompany my wife. I’ve just met her, and I don’t want to leave her again,” Marco said, making the nurse look at the approaching doctor.
Doctor said, “Just let him in, he can accompany his wife,” prompting Marco to hurry after Letta, who was already in the room. There, Letta was seen being injected at several points on her hand, while the doctor began examining what was happening to his wife.
“How is my wife? Is she really going to give birth?” Marco asked, making the doctor pause before nodding.
“Yes, your wife is going to give birth. I will check further. Whether your wife can give birth naturally, or we have to perform a surgical procedure,” the doctor said, making Marco nod.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Yes, do whatever it takes, as long as the baby and my wife are safe,” Marco said, prompting the doctor to quickly call a nurse to check Letta’s condition, check her body temperature, check her blood pressure, and check the position of the baby in her womb. The doctor then spoke to the nurse, while Marco could only remain silent, continuing to try to calm Letta, who appeared to be ina great deal of pain.
“Doctor, quickly. Do something. My wife looks in so much pain,” Marco said, which was unusual for him. This was the first time he had accompanied Letta in such a situation. It was a first-time experience for him, making Marco feel fearful as he watched Letta, who seemed to be stabbed in her abdomen.
“It’s a normal process. A woman going through labor has to endure one opening after another, and your wife is going through it now. We can only wait until the opening is complete,” the doctor said, making Marco look at Letta.
“How long will the opening take to complete?” Marco asked again.
“Depends on the frequency of the pain in your wife’s abdomen. Some take 6 hours, or maybe more than 12 hours, or 24 hours,” the doctor said, making Marco widen his eyes. “What? That long? So, you think I should wait that long, seeing my wife in pain?” Marco said, making the doctor remain silent, understanding Marco’s current reaction, which might be a new experience for him.
