Anna fixed her gaze on Peace and said, âDonât make a fuss, Peace. Itâs not a big deal. Iâm going to drive Mona to the hospital.
We donât have time to wait for the ambulance.â
While helping Mona walk out, Anna said to her softly, âDonât be afraid, Mona. Everything will be fine. Can you start timing now? Then tell me how many contractions a minute youâre having later.
Please tell me how many times a minute you feel hurt, okay?â
âUm, okay,â Mona said, biting her lip and nodding At the same time, a large show was also taking place in another luxury hotel in Birmingham. After reading the news, Beatrice became enraged. She growled, âThese journalists are completely untrustworthy! They sold the gossip to others that | had bought from them!â
âThe reporters didnât dare to offend you, and Lemon isnât powerful enough for them to do so.â
Hearing her assistantâs words, Beatrice frowned and asked, âDo you mean the Carousel Group did this? Does it have anything to do with Wayne Wright?â
âNo, | donât believe so. Look, hereâs the call log. Mona, one of Lemonâs executive directors, called Matthew an hour ago,â The assistant said as she handed Beatrice her iPad âDid that kid tell the press to do that?â
The assistant said with a nod, âLemon has a strong connection to the Carousel Group, as its founder is the wife of Wayne Wright. And their son Matthew has a close relationship with Lemonâs executive directors, Andrew and his wife.â
Clenching her fists, Beatrice said, âTheyâre more united than | expected. Why does this brat have to get involved in our business?â
Beatriceâs assistant said cautiously, âWe probably underestimated Matthew Wright. Although he is still a teenager, he behaves exactly like his father. He completed that difficult project in the south by himself.â
âHe completed it? | donât think so,â Beatrice sneered, âPrepare a gift for the president of Azul Group.â
âYes,â said the assistant Peed Right after they arrived at the hospital, Anna sent Mona into the operating room. On the way, she kept comforting Mona, âTake a deep breath, Mona. The best doctor will deliver your baby. And, Iâll be right beside you.â
âAh!!!â Mona continued to scream in agony âSave your strength,â Anna said as she held out her hand, âThe babyâs going to come. Youâll be alright.â
Mona nodded, her teeth clenched tightly. Meanwhile, her contractions became more and more frequent After the doctors and nurses pushed Mona into the operating room the light outside the operating room remained turned on. A while later, a babyâs cry broke the silence âLook, itâs a girl,â Anna said as she walked over to Mona with the baby in her arms With tears stained on her face, Mona raised her head and fixed her gaze on the baby. After a while, she burst into tears âWhy are you crying?â In a panic, Anna asked âShe must be very excited to see her baby,â the midwife said as she wiped the sweat from her forehead Mona, however, kept crying. After a while, she calmed down and said, âOh, no! Sheâs so ugly!â
Somewhat awkwardly, Anna asked, âHuh? All newborn children are ugly. Theyâll look nicer later.â
Still, Mona kept crying, making herself weaker and weaker. âSheâs so ugly! How could she look so ugly?!â
âReally? But | think sheâs adorable.â Anna said No matter what Anna said, Mona refused to hold her daughter. So, Anna had no choice but to let the nurse hold the baby girl instead By that time, Andrew had arrived at the hospital and he was anxiously waiting outside the operating room door. He was thrilled to learn that his wife had given birth to a baby girl and was excited to see his daughter As soon as she saw Andrew, Mona burst into tears. She said she had high hopes for this child, but she did not expect her to be so ugly Andrew looked at the child, then at his wife, and said in confusion, âSheâs not ugly, honey. | think she looks like you.â
Hearing that, Mona cried even louder. And after Anna walked out of the ward, Ryan called shortly âHello?â Anna answered the call âHowâs Mona?â
âShe just had a baby girl,â Anna exclaimed joyfully âWow! Congratulations! Emily and | will visit Mona tomorrow.â
âMonaâs not very stable. | think you guys can visit her a few days later,â Anna said, looking behind her âWhatâs the matter?â Puzzled, Ryan asked wee At the same time, Alicia frowned at Matthew awkwardly âCould you please stop staring at me?â Matthew asked Hearing that, Alicia snapped back to her senses. When she locked eyes with Matthewâs deep blue eyes, she blushed Someone was knocking on the door at the time. Alicia jumped up from the couch and exclaimed, âIâll get it for you. It must be Amber!â She dashed for the door before Matthew could say anything. As she passed, the corner of her coat brushed up against Matthewâs face, causing him to frown again On her way to the door, Alicia had already decided what she should do next. She wanted to tell Tammy about it before Matthew.
âIâm sorry! | didnât mean to do it!â She said as she opened the door The next second, Alicia froze when she saw the woman in the doorway. Anna froze as well, thinking she was in the wrong place.
Then Matthewâs voice came from the living room, âMom! Is that you?â
Anna then realized she hadnât gone to the wrong house. Still, Anna was shocked when she looked at the cute girl in front of her.
âWhy are you two here alone in the middle of the night?â she asked, looking back and forth at them both
