Snare of Love
Chapter 223 How Sad and Miserable

Victoria was sent to the delivery room.

Jayden was so anxious that he walked back and forth at the door, he would sometimes take a glance inside, but there was no other sound else than Victoria's cry of pain.

Jolene walked over and consoled him, "Don't be so worried."

Jayden turned his head and looked at her for a long time, in the end he didn't say anything.

He wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve the nervousness in his heart but he saw that there's a no smoking sign on the wall, so he forced himself to stop the thought of smoking.

Such suffering continued for more than 7 hours, because it was Victoria's first time giving birth, first time of uterus' openings were all relatively slower.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, There was a high-pitched sound from the delivery room, followed by a baby's cry.

Jayden's eyes lightened up, he excitedly said, "She has given birth?"

Jolene also heaved a sigh and said, "I suppose so."

After another 10 minutes, the delivery room door was opened and a nurse carried the newborn baby out, "The delivery woman has given birth and it's a boy, born on 21 December, 7.20 A.M. with the weight of 3.25 kg."

Jayden was very expectant, but at that time he didn't know how to describe his own feelings so he just stood still at his place.

Jolene stepped forward to take the child and said, "Thank you."

"This is something that we should do, the mother of the child will be out in a moment." after saying that, the nurse returned to the delivery room again and closed the door.

Jolene looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes with her gentle eyes, he's very small and weak, like she could end his life if she had used some strength.

It's her first time carrying a child too, so cautiously, she also felt that it's very wonderful, she walked up to Jayden, "Look, he's your child."

He's still so small that they couldn't see his features, his little face was a bit crumpled but his hair was super black and dense.

Jayden lowered his head, because of the excitement, his face was so stiff and his hands slightly trembled, "Let me hug him." Jolene cautiously handed over the baby that she was carrying and advised him, "Be gentle, he's very fragile."

Jayden was nervous to begin with, he became more nervous because she said that.

He took the baby over, his heart pounded so hard... He had a child, he became a father, it was like a dream but it was also very real, "He's my child." Jolene smiled and nodded, "Yes, he is your child, he has the same blood that flows in you, your blood is connected with his, and so you are father and son." Jayden lifted his head and looked at Jolene, "It's all thanks to you that I can be a father in such a short time."

Not sarcasm, not complaining, he's really thanking her.

Everything was inferior to the child's arrival, which soothed his unwillingness.

At that time, he was finally relieved.

He was looking at the baby in the swaddling clothes but he talked to Jolene instead, "I'm setting you free, let's handle the divorce process tomorrow." Jolene thought at heart, at that time, he had thought and seen her own heart clearly, right?

"You're so happy that you become stupid, huh?" Jolene glanced at him, "Getting a divorce right after the child is born, my brother would probably kill you." Jayden also smiled, yeah, he was overjoyed.

At that time, the door of delivery room was opened and someone pushed Victoria out, the obstetrician also walked out with her and smiled, "It's very successful, the mother of the child is tired now, she needs to rest, just go to the ward."

"We have contacted another hospital, we'll stay there." Jolene went over to carry the baby in Jayden's embrace, "We don't have much time."

Jayden understood, gave the baby to her, then he bent over to carry the lethargic Victoria from the bed she was sleeping on, she had been in pain for the whole night so she's exhausted at that time. Her body was all soft and weak.

That hospital was the place where Victoria always had her check-ups, it was located quite far away, just in case anyone realized that she came to that hospital.

They should go back to the big hospital in the city, Jolene couldn't 'give birth' in such place.

The weather in the morning was very cold, Jayden took his coat off and wrapped it around Victoria's body, carried her into the car, Jolene also carried the baby and got into the car.

Taking the advantage that there were less people in the morning, they quickly went back to the city's big hospital, they had arranged some people in advance so once they arrived at the hospital, Jolene carried the child and stayed in the ward, making her seem like she just gave birth.

Victoria was sent to another ward, everything was planned well, Jayden called his family and Harris family, told them that Jolene had given birth to a boy.

Both families were happy, but Mrs. Harris was quite unhappy because she knew that her daughter gave birth but only told them afterwards, thus she scorned Jayden, "Giving birth was so painful like being dad, it's even way more painful, how could you notify me now?"

After hearing what Mrs. Harris said, Jaden suddenly grabbed his phone tighter, he suddenly thought of how Victoria looked like when she cried out of pain.

She's such a strong and brave person but she couldn't even bear it, one could imagine how painful it was.

He was thinking that he owed that woman.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Mrs. Harris spoke again.

Jayden immediately responded, "I was too nervous yesterday, I forgot to notify you."

Thinking that it's his first time being a father and he was too excited at that time, it's possible to forget too, so she didn't ask further, "Don't let her catch a cold, we'll be there soon."

In just an hour, the ward was full of people who came to visit the child and Jolene.

"This child looks like Jayden."

Mrs. Harris said that as she carried child.

"Indeed, he looks like Jayden." Mrs. Nelson also agreed.

Jolene was resting on the bed, she looked at the bustling people in the ward, she couldn't feel the emotion and expectation of being a mother for the first time so she just acted weak. "He's still so small, how could you see who he looks like."

Mrs. Nelson pulled Jolene's hands, "You contribute too much to our Nelson family's." as she said that, she took out a property certificate and a brocade box.

"It's not worth much, I specially prepared this sapphire ring for you, and this property is for you too."

How could Jolene dare to accept that, "How could I accept these..."

"You should." Mrs. Nelson didn't allow her to refuse.

Jolene just gave birth and Mrs. Nelson already gave her jewelry and property, seeing that, Mrs. Harris felt relieved.

She didn't cherish those things, but cherished the kind intention.

Even if their families were related by marriage, those two children had no feelings when they got married, Jolene had a boyfriend before and she was forced by the family, she agreed afterwards and only then she married Jayden, she was worried about their relationship at first, but then when she looked at them...

It's only 2 years since they got married and their child was already born, their relationship would get better and better, she felt happy at heart.

"Don't mention it, giving birth and raising children are things that she should do as a wife and as a daughter in law."

Mrs. Nelson smiled, "Jolene is capable, she gave a birth to a son as the first child."

Compared to their enthusiasm and excitement, Jayden was way colder.

He stood by the window but he was thinking about Victoria at heart, she had just given birth but there's no relatives around her. Meanwhile, it was so lively at his place, but none of it was hers.

A woman used her body and all strength to give birth but the child didn't belong to her, how sad and miserable would she be?

Jeffery who stood beside Mrs. Harris felt so unhappy because he sensed that Jayden was distracted, he should be happy that he got a son, it would be normal if he played fireworks, but how could he be absent minded?

It was not in line with the common sense.

Jeffery squinted his eyes...☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
