Chapter 43.

THREE MONTHS LATER

The cry of an adult jerked me out of sleep in the middle of the night.

At first, when I woke up, I thought it was already morning until I checked the clock and found out it was just 2am.

Who could be crying?

I pondered as I got up from the bed.

Frederick isn't around, nor is Harris.

They've been at a seminar in another city for two days now, leaving only Jessy and me with the servants and security in the house.

While supporting my back with my hands, I strolled out of the room, dragging my heavy feet on the floor.

The cry seemed to be coming directly from Jessy’s room and it scared me.

What could be wrong with her at this time of the day?

And why is she screaming that way?

Has something happened to her?

I increased my pace,

And when I arrived at her room, two other maids were with her.

“What is going on here?”

They stood up and bowed their heads in respect.

“Ma’am Jessy is in labor.”

One of them announced.

Wow!

So soon?

“Jessy?”

I called, but she ignored me and kept on screaming in pain.

“Quick, go wake up the driver.”

I instructed one of the maids and she hurried out,

Then I turned to the other one.

“Get the baby bag ready, we are going to the hospital.”

The other one bowed her head too and hurried out.

The moment she was gone, I tried to help Jessy get on her feet, but she shoved my hand away.

“Get away from me!”

She hollered.

“You just want to hurt me.”

Uhn?

Is she out of her mind?

“Stop acting like a baby, Jessy, I am only trying to help you.”

Why would I hurt her when she is in labor?

Jessy is out of her mind.

She didn't allow me to touch her and when the maid returned that the driver was ready, they were the ones who helped her to the car.

All I did was sit in front of the car with the driver and escort her to the hospital.

“Mrs. Frederick, you should sit, please, you are also pregnant. And also, calm down, she will be fine.”

The doctor said,

He took me to the VIP lounge.

“Are you sure she will be fine?”

I asked him worriedly.

Even though Jessy and I aren't on good terms, I still feel so much pity for her now.

“Of course she will, trust me. Besides, she already knows that she is going to deliver her baby naturally.”

Phew

That's a relief.

“It’s 2 am, you should get some sleep.”

As soon as he left and I lay my head on the pillow, I fell asleep instantly.

When I opened my eyes, it was already 7 am.

And the first thing that crossed my mind was Jessy.

Has she given birth?

Slowly, I got up from the sofa, and the doctor came in before I could leave the room.

“How is she?”

I asked, and with a smile on his face, I knew it was good news.

“She is fine, and the baby is fine too.”

Wow!

“Can I see her now?”

“Yes, she and the baby are in the next room.”

As soon as he said that, I left the lounge.

Getting to the room, Jessy was sleeping on the bed, but the baby was wide awake in the baby bed.

He is so cute and looks a lot like Harris.

I gently carried him out of the bed and sat down on the sofa.

When I touched his cheek, he brought out his tongue.

He must be hungry.

I glanced at the bed, but Jessy was still sleeping.

I couldn't wake her up to feed the baby, she must be so tired too.

So, I looked around and found the baby’s milk in a feeding bottle on the table.

When I touched it, it was still warm.

But to be sure that it was milk, I tasted it.

When I was convinced, I gently put the pacifier in his mouth and he suckled it.

Aw, so cute.

When my baby comes, I will make sure to feed him well.

Holding Jessy’s baby in my hands makes me so eager to see mine, and it also brings back memories.

Jessy and I would always say we would be there for each other when it is time for us to give birth, and then we would feed each other’s babies while the mother sleeps peacefully.

And when our babies grow up, they will become best friends like us.

But if it is a boy and a girl, then we will get them married.

Those were our childhood dreams,

However, it will never come true now.

“Is he taking it?”

The doctor asked when he entered the room.

“Yes.”

He raised a brow surprisingly.

“He refused to take it when I wanted to feed him earlier on.”

Really?

I think the baby recognizes me.

“You are his grandmother so he prefers yours.”

Grandmother?

Hahahaha

That is funny.

I am too young to be a grandmother.

But wait,

He just told the truth.

Since Frederick is the grandfather, that makes me his grandmother.

“Ma’am?”

One of the maids called, holding a phone.

“Mr. Frederick wants to speak to you.”

Oh,

He must have called my phone.

“Hi, baby.”

I gave the baby to the maid and left the room.

“Where did you drop your phone?”

“At home, baby.”

“The maid said you are in the hospital, is anything the matter?”

She didn't tell him?

“I brought Jessy, and she has safely delivered.”

“That is great news.”

He spoke to someone and I heard a scream.

“That is Harris, he is excited. Will talk to you later, okay? Take care.”

Pfft

Who cares?

Since Jessy and the baby were doing well, I decided to go home to have a bath and also breakfast as I have started feeling hungry.

So I returned to the room, gave the phone to the maid, and left after looking at the baby for the last time.

“When Jessy wakes up, tell her I will be back.”

I said to the maid and left.

Ahh

What a night,

Now I feel so much pain in my neck from sleeping on the sofa for 4 hours.
