Chapter 3 Babies

Soon after the accident happened, Lea arrived at the hospital.

"Lea...it hurts..." Nina cried out while the pain tore her apart.

"The patient has been pregnant for nine months. We might have to do a C-section on her because of the accident," the doctor informed.

Nina shut her eyes, trying to endure the pain coursing through her. She could almost feel her bones crashing inside her and muscles wearing out. Tears streamed down her face nonstop.

"Lea, will he come?" she hopelessly questioned. She couldn't understand why she wanted to see the man at that moment. Right now, she wanted to have the father of the child she was carrying by her side.

Lea pushed the stretcher inside while responding, "Don't think of him now. Take care of yourself. Trust me, everything will be fine." Lea didn't want to set her hopes high. Because she knew that her master wouldn't come in person for this.

She couldn't do anything even though she felt sorry for Nina.

As the operation room's door closed and the light went on, Lea received a call from Jarvis.

"What happened?" Jarvis asked in a serious tone.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji. It was an unfortunate accident. For a few minutes, I wasn't with Miss Lin and she slipped and fell downstairs by accident." Lea could actually feel Jarvis' anger through the phone.

"How is she now?" Jarvis asked worriedly.

"She is in the operation room."

"Report to me if anything happens."

"Sure, sir."

Lea knew Jarvis was a man who didn't show his emotions. But this time, it was different. This baby would determine his future and that was why he was so nervous.

Jarvis kept frowning after hanging up the phone. Why was he even feeling restless? It was so unlikely him. He then realized, it was because of his baby growing in Nina's belly. The baby was his key pass to go back to the Ji family and be accepted.

But even though he was more worried for the baby, a tiny fraction of his heart ached for Nina.

When Nina regained her senses, her eyes went down towards her protruding belly. She panicked when she saw it was flat. Her terrified eyes shifted to Lea who was standing nearby.

"How is the baby?" Nina asked, panicked.

"Don't worry. The baby is fine."

Nina relaxed after hearing so. "Is it a boy or a girl?" She was relieved that the baby was alright.

However, Lea kept silent.

Nina wanted to know more about the baby. After all, she had nourished the baby inside her throughout the past nine months. Although the agreement had made clear that she couldn't get any information about the baby, she just wanted to know the baby's gender.

She couldn't see her baby, but at least she could know if the baby was male or female.

"Sorry, I cannot tell you."

Tears streamed down Nina's face. She now regretted the heartless deal she had made. All these months, she had grown fond of her baby even without seeing it. But now she didn't have the rights to claim her baby.

Having the baby inside her was a wonderful feeling. It was a feeling only a mother could understand.

Meanwhile, Lea felt sorry for Nina. She couldn't tell her anything about the baby. She sympathized with Nina, but she was helpless. Lea knew it was cruel to part the babies from Nina, but she had to do it.

Otherwise, Nina would miss her babies for the rest of her life.

Nina was already tired after the operation. So, she fell asleep soon.

After Nina fell asleep, Lea left her ward and called Jarvis.

"Mr. Ji."

"How is she?" Jarvis blurted out. The first thought that came in his mind was of Nina's wellbeing.

"The babies are fine, so is she."

"Okay, that's good. Please take good care of her." Jarvis hung up the phone after learning they were fine.

Jervis took a deep breath. Now, the babies were born, and the Ji family would be bound to pay him what he deserved.

At night

Nina sneaked out of the ward. She wanted to know whether her child was a boy or a girl. After all, it was her flesh and blood and she had the rights to know.

When she was walking towards the baby room, she again bumped into Gavin.

"Nina! What are you doing here? Why did you leave your ward?" Gavin was on his way to see Nina. He was a doctor in here. But even he never learned about Nina's case until he saw her with his own eyes. Her issue had been concealed nicely. He had to investigate it to know what was happening.

"I want to see my baby," Nina said. Her voice broke as she mentioned her baby. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Gavin's heart ached seeing her so helpless. Although Nina was his cousin's friend and Nina also treated him nothing more than a brother, he had fallen in love with her.

Gavin couldn't help but secretly took her to the nursery, which was filled with incubators with labels on them.

"There are only two babies who were born today. I heard that they are twins of opposite sex," Gavin informed.

Nina instantly recognized her children at a glance through the glass. Looking at the twins, Nina got emotional and finally burst into tears.

The baby girl closed her eyes and slightly opened her mouth, with one hand she tried to grab something in the air. The boy seemed to have just woken up, one of his hands slowly stretched out and grabbed the girl's hand.

"The boy is five minutes older than the girl. He is the elder brother," Gavin added.

They were her babies! She had birthed twins. Nina's heart filled with great joy seeing her babies for the first time. But she'd have to part ways from them and this thought shattered her heart into million pieces.

"Gavin, can you do me a favor?"

"What are you planning?"

"Can you help me steal my children?"

In the Ji family's house

Jarrod Ji, Abbe Song and Blaine Ji were sitting at the table, which was full of delicacies. Today was the day that Jarvis would go home for dinner. So the chef had to prepare dinner carefully. After all, he was Jarrod Ji's favored grandson now.

Jarrod Ji asked the butler, "Why hasn't Jarvis come back yet? I'm waiting for him to tell me how my great-grandson is. I won't have dinner until he comes back."

Abbe Song and Blaine Ji exchanged looks.

Jarrod Ji said this in front of the whole family. He wanted to show his love for Jarvis, and also wanted to tell everyone Jarvis' legal status in the Ji family.

It seemed that no one cared that Jarvis was an illegitimate child.
