Let me go, Mr. Hill By Shallow South Chapter 1796 Freyaâs due date was still a month away, but she was now in labor. Catherine was a little doubtful whether the reason was that she went shopping with Freya earlier.
If she had known, she would not have asked Freya out today.
Once they rushed to the hospital, they happened to bump into Jason and his wife, as well as Nathan, Heidi, and Ryan.
Freya had been pushed into the delivery room. Through the door, they heard the pained cries from inside.
Catherine and Elizaâs hearts ached at the sound. Freya was fine before they left. Who would have thought she would be in such pain in the blink of an eye?
Wendy grabbed her son angrily. âIsnât she supposed to be due next month? Why did it happen early?â
âI⦠I donât know.â Rodney mumbled, not daring to meet his motherâs eyes.
If she found out that Freya went into premature labor because they quarreled, he might be beaten to death.
Catherine blamed herself. âAunty, it might be my fault. Maybe itâs because I went shopping with Freya in the afternoon and tired her out.â
âPregnant women should walk more before giving birth, and shopping is the same as walking. Itâs not your fault. â Wendy could not blame her. âWhatâs important is that the mother and child are safe.â
Rodney stood by the side without saying a word.
Ryan looked at him and suddenly said, âRodney, Freya was with you when her water broke. Did you quarrel with her again and piss her off so much that she went into premature labor?â
Everyone instantly turned their eyes to Rodney.
After all, everyone knew that Freya and Rodney were always fighting and arguing.
No one knew what was wrong with them. As soon as they met each other, sparks would fly and scatter everywhere.
Rodneyâs expression was stiff. After a moment, he muttered, âI argued with her a little, and⦠her stomach suddenly hurt.â
Wendyâs face instantly became as cold as ice. âYou argued with her a little? What did you say to her?
What did you do to cause a pregnant woman to go into premature labor?â
âI⦠I asked if she was having dinner with another man tonight, and she⦠She said she was looking for a second love, so I was angry and said that⦠sheâll have a potbelly⦠So, I gave away the clothes she bought⦠and we quarreled for a while. Then, her stomach started to hurtâ¦â
Rodney hung his head low and mumbled about what happened.
Catherine was aggravated. âShe was having dinner with me tonight.â
âI know you were there, but there were three sets of cutlery. There was someone elseâ¦â Rodney muttered.
âThat was me.â Elizaâs expression was ice cold. She did not expect Rodney to suspect Freya just because they left early. âBesides, sheâs your wife. Shouldnât you know what kind of person she is? If you ask your wife, whoâs nine months pregnant, those kinds of questions, youâre questioning her character. Any woman would be angry.â
âThatâs right. Freya has worked so hard to carry your child, yet you still suspect her. If I were her, Iâd die of anger.â
Wendy was so angry that she slapped Rodney across the face. âWhat did I tell you? Youâre married and sheâs pregnant, so Iâve told you to compromise with her. Yet, what did you do instead? You had the nerve to tell her that sheâd have a potbelly? How did she end up like this in the first place? Itâs because of you. She wanted to buy beautiful clothes, yet you gave them all away to another person. Are you even a man? Why did I even give birth to you?â
âMom, Iâm sorry⦠I didnât want toâ¦â
Rodneyâs handsome face went pale from the scolding.
He did not want that to happen either. Looking back at it now, he could not believe that he did such a thing.
âYou didnât want to, but youâve done and said it. â Heidy furrowed her brows as well. âRodney, I thought that youâd have become more mature after what happened to your uncle, butâ¦â
