Grace bit down hard.

Brian clenched his fist tightly and did not move.

The contractions ended and Grace regained a trace of energy. She looked at his arm which was bleeding from her bite and frowned hard.

At this moment, the doctor came in to check the cervix.

"The cervix has opened to four fingers wide. If you haven't eaten, I suggest you eat some food so that you will have the strength to give birth later."

As soon as the nurse finished speaking, Brian asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it."

Grace shook her head. The contractions started again. She said with difficulty, "I don't want to eat."

The nurse said, "If you don't want to eat, you can have some chocolate to supplement your sugar level."

Brian waited for Grace to recover from the pain and immediately went to the supermarket downstairs to buy chocolate for her.

His hair was disheveled from running, and he was panting slightly.

Brian unwrapped the chocolate and fed it to Grace. She looked at him in a daze. Was it her imagination? Why did she see nervousness on his face?

Grace finished the chocolate mechanically, and the doctor came in to let her enter the delivery room.

Brian followed behind and wanted to enter the delivery room but was stopped by the doctor. "I'm sorry, sir. You can't enter the delivery room. Please wait outside."

Grace entered the delivery room and the door closed. Grace suddenly grabbed the attending doctor's hand and knelt on the ground.

The doctor was shocked. "Hey! What are you doing? Get up."

Grace raised her head and looked at the doctor. Her eyes were filled with tears. "Doctor, I beg you to help me. He's not my family. He wants to take my child away after my child is born and separate us." The doctors and nurses looked at her in shock.

When the doctor did not speak, Grace bent down and kowtowed desperately. "Doctor, I beg you... Don't give my child to him."

She held her stomach, endured the pain, and kowtowed with difficulty. The doctor quickly pulled her up. "Get up first and talk."

Grace was pulled up by the doctor. The pain made her unable to straighten her back. She held the doctor's hand tightly. "Doctor... please help me."

"Alright. Tell us, what do you need us to do?"

"After giving birth, I'm leaving with the child. I want you to cover me as I leave the hospital."

The doctor frowned. "That's not a problem, but you need to be hospitalized after giving birth. If you're not hospitalized, there's a high chance of infection."

"No. If I don't leave with the child immediately, he will snatch my child."

The doctor looked at her pleading face and didn't have the heart to refuse. The doctor finally agreed.

Outside the door, Brian stood anxiously in the corridor outside the delivery room. There was a frosted glass partition in the middle of the delivery room. He stood there and clearly could not see anything, but he still stared intently at the frosted glass. There was no movement inside for a long time. Brian paced back and forth in the corridor, and his heart subconsciously raced.

His mind could not help but wonder if the child would be a boy or a girl.

If the child were a girl, he was sure she would look like Grace. Her skin would be soft and tender. If the child were a boy...

A chubby little face had already appeared in his mind. The child was a smaller version of himself.

Brian realized what he was thinking and shook his head fiercely.

Any outcome would have to wait until after the paternity test.

In the delivery room, Grace bit on the gauze. Her face was covered in cold sweat.
