Seeing the happiness in his daughter filled Josh Batton’s heart with contentment.For him, the happiest feeling was not about receiving numerous awards on stage or how much money he made.Instead, it was coming home to his wife and daughter. The warmth in their home and his loved ones made him feel happy.He was so lucky to meet Annabeth Cates, and he swore in his heart that he would be good to her and their child for the rest of his life.Beep, beep, beep—His phone rang right then, so he immediately answered when he saw Georgie Clementine's name flashing on his screen.“Hey, Georgie. What’s up?"“Josh, the film 'Wind and Shadow', had been nominated as the best picture in the Passion Film Festival. As the male lead, you’ve also received a nomination as Best Actor, Most Popular Actor, and the Passion Film Festival’s Favorite Pick.“They’re inviting you to both the opening ceremony and the award ceremony taking place on the first of the next month.”She sounded full of exciteme
Georgie Clementine felt an ache in her stomach as soon as she finished her phone call with Josh Batton.An intense suffocating sensation made her feel lightheaded.Feeling uncomfortable, she sat on the bed and glanced at Henry Armstrong, who was playing a game on his laptop. “Hey, stop playing. Something doesn’t feel right with my stomach.”Her stomach had repeated contractions as if she was in labor, but she had another month to go before her expected delivery date.It wasn't supposed to be happening now. She didn’t know why it had started this soon.Henry instantly panicked when he saw Georgie like this.He turned off his laptop and hastily picked up his car keys before carrying her out of the house.He was speeding the entire journey, but traffic police didn’t stop him because of his car’s unique registration number.They managed to arrive at Municipal Hospital without issues.By then, Georgie felt her stomach increasingly aching, turning her vision dark as she felt like sh
When Henry Armstrong entered the VIP ward, he felt as if he’d just returned from hell as the memories of what happened a while ago made him sweat all over.Although having a newborn was worth celebrating, he couldn’t bring himself to feel happy just yet.He didn’t even have a proper look at his baby because his eyes never left Georgie Clementine at all.After arriving at the ward, most nurses left to take care of the baby, leaving only a few others behind to help move Georgie onto a bed with his assistance.He remained silent as he sat next to her rigidly, holding one of her cold hands and gazing at her pale face.His heart ached upon recalling everything she had suffered through earlier.He vowed never to get Georgie pregnant again so that they would only have to live through this experience once.Soon, the doctor attached her other hand to an anti-inflammatory drip and then launched into a brief explanation about both the mother's and child's conditions and anything worthy of
Henry Armstrong felt his heart melting when he thought about his baby smiling.“Mr. Armstrong, would you like to take a look at your baby? He is adorable,” the nurse added.“It’s fine. I’d better keep an eye on my wife. I don’t want her to be alone when she wakes up,” he replied, surprising her with his attitude.It was her first time meeting a father like Henry despite witnessing many deliveries from other families. His newborn son was a premature baby and promptly brought into an incubator right after, but his wife merely lost consciousness from exhaustion with a stable condition.Even so, it was odd how he showed little care toward his son while unable to tear his eyes away from his wife.However, the nurse refrained from further comments out of respect for his status and silently left the ward.Approximately an hour later, Georgie Clementine woke up to find Henry by her side.He nervously stood up when he saw that she was awake. “How do you feel? Are you in pain? Hmm? Do y
Henry Armstrong gazed at Georgie Clementine incredulously. “So what if you’re an adult? I had to be here to look after you, too, even if it was a natural delivery. I witnessed everything you went through inside that delivery room. How could I not worry about you?“Our baby will be fine since he has nurses to look after him. I was planning to see him after you’ve woken up. People always hope to see their loved ones by their side when they wake up in their weakest moments. Wouldn’t you feel uneasy if I wasn’t around then?” he explained.Georgie felt warm in her heart once again after hearing what he said, recalling how he'd acted in the delivery room and how he was behaving now.She knew that she had married the right person as this man genuinely loved and appreciated her.Her life felt complete by meeting a man like Henry.“All right, that makes sense, too," she admitted with a sigh. "Let’s not argue about such things. Take me to see our baby now, please. I must see him.”He knew
At Henry Armstrong's insistence, Georgie Clementine would do as he said.Soon, he brought her to the newborn's ward, carrying her over to see their baby after putting on their isolation gowns.Their hearts melted when they saw their adorable son in the incubator but then ached at the sight of various tubes connected to his body.It was unfortunate that he was born prematurely. If he had been born at full term, he wouldn’t have needed to suffer through this.The baby was still so delicate and tiny, but he already had to be connected to all those tubes. It was truly heartbreaking.“Do you think being connected to those tubes would hurt him?” she asked softly, her eyes filling with tears.Henry frowned deeply. “The doctor said it wouldn’t hurt.”“I don’t believe it. I’m sure he must be in pain.”They liked the baby, but they also felt heartbroken for him.“I heard he even smiled when he was inside so that probably means he isn’t in pain,” he added to reassure her.She was shocke
Henry Armstrong’s mother scratched her head with a troubled expression. “Hmm, I think he said Georgie worked too hard during her pregnancy. Maybe that’s why this happened.”She frowned slightly. “She still couldn't stay away from work despite becoming pregnant. It’s admirable for young people to want to work hard, but she really should have cut back after becoming pregnant. I remember Henry telling me that her job wasn’t all that difficult.”“He must’ve lied to us so that we wouldn’t worry,” her husband told her, both feeling uneasy as they discussed it.It wasn’t because their son lied to them, but rather because they felt sorry for Georgie Clementine.Neither of them approved of Georgie at first and would always hope they would split up. But then they began to understand her better after spending more time with her.They gradually discovered what a great person she was, by being a capable, pretty, ambitious, and humble woman.Georgie never had ulterior motives by being with Hen
Having a social butterfly stay at one place to look after someone else was torturous.However, Henry Armstrong’s mother seemed determined despite what Georgie Clementine said. “What do you mean? You’ve just delivered. It’s my duty as your mother-in-law to look after you.”Then, she turned her attention to her husband. “You must choose the best nannies and provide our daughter-in-law with as many nannies as the Batton family has.”He instantly agreed.“Is it necessary to compare?" Georgie scratched her head helplessly.“It’s not a comparison," she replied. "You and Xyla are good friends. I don’t want you to feel like you’re not being treated just as well.”“I won’t.”“Well, I insist on it,” his mother said stubbornly.“Thank you, Dad, Mom. And thank you, Honey,” Georgie said. She would never have thought that her mother-in-law would ever speak to her this way in the past.Henry’s mother was considerate enough to think in her shoes.She had always thought she’d be enemies with
