To the Love of My Life - Chapter 706

Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Chaotic Baby-Making (26)
 

Steve Burton’s smile froze at the corner of his mouth when he heard the last sentence from the nurse. He found it difficult to even say that he wasn’t the father of the children. Instead, he tried his best to maintain a composed demeanor, forced a smile, and continued taking pictures of Third-born.

As his phone captured the images with a “click,” the sleeping Third-born suddenly broke into a grin. It was as if she had heard the sound of the camera.

“Sir, look—the third baby just smiled…Since her mom is so beautiful, I’m sure when Third-born grows up she’ll be as gorgeous as her mom, a real ‘country-toppling, city-toppling’ beauty…”

The nurse beside him kept praising, but Steve felt a painful sting in his heart. He quickly made up an excuse about needing to use the bathroom and left the recovery room.

Although Steve didn’t want to go to the bathroom, he still hurriedly rushed there with anxious steps. He turned on the faucet, splashed some cold water on his face, then leaned both hands on the washbasin, letting the water drops dripp and splash into the sink.

He was worried about Ruby’s sudden early delivery, relieved that she had survived the ordeal, and delighted that she had her desired two boys and a girl. If it weren’t for the nurse suddenly mentioning the children’s father, he had almost forgotten that all the pain Ruby went through and the three children lying in the incubator were Edric Reat’s.

The nurse was right; what kind of fortune did Edric accumulate in his past life to be so lucky?

Steve felt a lump forming in his throat. Just as he wanted to swallow a mouthful of saliva to relieve the discomfort, his thoughts suddenly turned grim.

Yesterday, Ruby had angrily accused him of going on a blind date. At that time, he thought she might be jealous, and he felt a secret delight in his heart. However, not even half a second later, her amniotic fluid broke, and she went into premature labor.

At that moment, he was scared witless. Hearing Ruby’s painful screams, he became completely flustered and didn’t even think of notifying the real father of the children.

It was reasonable for him to forget, but as for Ruby, who was pregnant and in a critical condition, she never thought of notifying Edric either…

As for Edric, didn’t he worry about Ruby, who didn’t come home all night despite being heavily pregnant? How could he not have looked for her?

No, wait—when Ruby came to his house last night, it was already late. Late at night, how could Edric let Ruby, a pregnant woman, leave home alone?

On one hand, Steve blamed Edric for not taking good care of Ruby. On the other hand, he doubted what had really happened between Edric and Ruby.

—

Ruby woke up at nine o’clock in the morning. Due to the initial normal delivery that left her exhausted, the obstetrics and gynecology team Steve had called immediately performed a cesarean section on her.

As soon as Ruby woke up, a doctor approached to examine her and asked about her condition. After confirming that she was currently in good condition, the doctor left.
