Dangerous Desire The CEO’s Hidden Woman

“I can promise you this time, there definitely won’t be that problem between us,” Damon said very seriously.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“I don’t believe that!” she said. After that, she realized that she had fallen into his trap all over again and felt annoyed. She really hated her own stupidity.

Because neither wanted to give in, they just stayed quiet. Suddenly, Scarlett felt a deep soreness spread across her legs. She looked calmly at the wet floor and said,

“Are you finished? It looks like my water just broke.”

Eve sat in the wheelchair and peered into the operating room. However, except for many busy doctors and nurses, she saw nothing. Therefore, she turned around in frustration and stared at Damon angrily.

“What’s that?” Damon said as he sat on the bench with his arms crossed on his chest.

“It’s all your fault. It’s all your fault that she’s going through premature labor!” Eve pointed out angrily. She believed that the stress Damon had caused Scarlett had ultimately pushed her to the edge and prompted premature labor.

“If you hadn’t jumped off a goddamn building, I would have called her! How exactly do you think you can blame me for this, Eve?” Damon frowned.

Skyler rubbed her temples and took a look at Francis. Francis was sitting in complete silence, seemingly lost in deep thought.

“Eve, no one should be blamed for what happened to my sister, so you’d better not be too worried.” Skyler piped up, attempting to calm the situation down.

“What? How am I supposed to stop worrying about her? Premature labor is a big deal. And she’s carrying two, not one!” Eve growled.

Skyler shook his head gently. Eve realized that Skyler was concerned about Francis, so she decided to keep quiet and not utter another word. Francis was, after all, the one who worried the most out of them all. The only difference was that Francis rarely let on how nervous he was in truth.

Scarlett had no idea what was going on outside; all she knew was that she was going to faint from the pain. When she heard that the doctors put forward plans for a Caesarean section, she felt kind of relieved.

The nurse came out of the operating room and informed all those waiting that Scarlett would be undergoing a C-section. When Eve heard that the doctors were planning to conduct a C-section, she couldn’t believe her ears. She stared at the nurse in front of her and asked in astonishment, “Caesarean section? Is she alright?”

Keeping away from Eve, the nurse walked towards Skyler and Francis and hollered, “Who is the patient’s family? Please sign the agreement!”

Skyler took the waiver, but just as he put pen to paper, he decided to hand the document off to Francis instead. The nurse was confused by this and asked, “Who is the family? This has to be signed by a legal family member! Do you understand me?”

Francis stood up and offered in a low voice, “I am a family member.”

After that, he signed his name and handed the waiver back to her.

“What’s your relationship with the patient?” the nurse asked with doubt in her voice.

Eve immediately shouted out, “He is her husband!”

The nurse gave Francis a bewildered look and then started to walk away. But Francis stopped her.

Is my wife okay? Is everything fine with her?”

“Please relax, sir. The doctor who will be operating on your wife is amongst the best. We decided that a C-section would be best as your wife is carrying two babies. Her pelvis is, however, quite small, and she will likely be in excruciating pain if we opted for a natural birth.” The nurse explained patiently. She could tell that Francis was increasingly nervous.

As Scarlett’s lower body was anesthetized, she felt no pain. There was only the sweat from the painful contractions still dripping from her forehead.

With the light on the operating table shone on her, Scarlett felt dizzy and really wanted to sleep. But the procedure was going well. With a piercing cry, her elder daughter was born. When Scarlett heard her crying, she instantly opened her eyes and became eager to see her child.

“It’s a little baby girl! Congratulations! She seems to be very healthy.” The nurse brought the baby to her after she did a quick check-up and cut the umbilical cord.

Scarlett just took a quick look before the nurse took the baby to wash away all the blood. All she had seen was a little prune covered in blood; she hadn’t even gotten the chance to see her daughter’s face.

“Write down the time; it’s twenty-nine past ten.” the doctor said as he looked up at the clock on the wall.

OK.” the nurse said.

A while later, the younger daughter was taken out. Unlike Scarlett’s elder daughter, she didn’t seem to be doing too well. The doctor barked, “Take her to the observation ward.”

“All right!” the nurse replied.

When Scarlett heard that, she instantly worried, “What’s wrong with her? Is everything okay? Is my baby girl okay?”

“Don’t worry, she’s fine. We just need to make sure everything’s good to go. We’re just going to keep her under observation for a short while.”

“Why didn’t she cry? Does she have some kind of disorder? I need to know…” Scarlett worried. She was almost about to cry.

The head nurse just smiled and gave a gentle pat on the baby’s butt. And upon that, the baby instantly cried loudly, which cause everyone in the operating room to laugh.

When Scarlett heard that, she felt kind of relieved and closed her eyes again.

The light went off in the operating room, and the nurse wheeled Scarlett out of the room.

When Francis saw Scarlett coming out, he rushed to her side. He instantly took his coat off and placed it on her fragile, shivering shoulders. Her face looked pale.

Scarlett opened her eyes and smiled weakly, “As you asked for, we now have two baby girls….”

Francis just lowered his head to kiss her on the forehead and said, “You really scared me!”

Scarlett wanted to laugh, but she felt pain in her entire body now that the anesthetic had worn off. Francis wiped her tears away and wheeled her back to the ward along with a nurse.
