Chapter 754: Chapter 754



Joelle, drenched in sweat, barely managed to keep her eyes open as she stared vacantly at the overhead lights. “I’m so worn out.”

Adrian quickly tried to help her sip some water, but Joelle was too weak to swallow. “Joelle! Joelle!”

A doctor urged, “The baby’s nearly here. Just hold on a bit longer!”

Pushed to her limits, Joelle tightened her grip on Adrian’s hand. “Pay attention to my next words…”

Adrian’s heart plummeted, his lips pressing against her palm repeatedly, trying to infuse her with his strength. “Don’t speak.

Just conserve your energy. It’s nearly finished. Joelle, I can’t bear to lose you; you must endure!”

In a frail voice, Joelle murmured, “Look after Aurora and my brother. Remember, Ryland must be found…”

Tears welled in Adrian’s eyes, and he let out a desperate cry. “Joelle? Joelle!”

With those words, Joelle’s eyes closed, and she lost consciousness.

The medical team in the delivery room stood momentarily paralyzed.

Overcome with grief and panic, Adrian shouted, “What are you waiting for? Save her, or I swear you’ll answer to me!”

Jolted back into action, the doctors resumed their frantic work. They administered an injection, leaving Adrian feeling a mix of anguish and helplessness. He just needed Joelle to survive.

From sunrise to sunset, Adrian stayed on his knees next to her throughout the labor.

Shawn, typically filled with confidence, offered no reply.

Turning to Katherine, Aurora said, “I really miss Mom.”

With a gentle touch to her hair, Katherine offered words of comfort. “Aurora, stay strong. We’ll see your mom very soon.”

Aurora felt unsure of what to hope for next.

She had no choice but to rely on the assurances of the adults and patiently wait for Joelle to appear.

It was not until midnight that a baby’s cry echoed from the delivery room.

Those waiting outside let out a sigh of relief, relieved that the baby appeared healthy.

However, they remained unaware of Joelle’s condition.

Inside the delivery room, Adrian was entirely focused on Joelle, not yet able to turn his attention to the newborn.

Exhausted and lying with her eyes closed, Joelle barely maintained consciousness.

“The baby is a lovely little girl!” the doctor cheerfully announced.
