In just a minute, Eunice was writhing in pain on the bed, curled up like a frozen shrimp.Yasmin went over and held her hand. "Eunice, if it hurts, just squeeze my hand tightly…"Eunice gripped Yasmin's hand so hard it felt like she could crush her bones.Yasmin felt Eunice's pain, and her eyes filled with tears. She hadn't expected childbirth to be this painful. She comforted Eunice, "Eunice, it's okay. It's okay…"The doctor arrived quickly and examined Eunice, confirming that she was indeed having contractions.The doctor said, "Ms. Salle, don't scream during contractions. Breathe deeply, conserve your energy, and save your strength for delivery later.""I can't take it… Ah…" Eunice was in so much pain that she rolled around on the bed. Her belly felt like it was contracting tightly as if something was trying to break out of it. She pounded the bed in agony.The doctor pressed Eunice down. "Ms. Salle, don't move around. Take deep breaths and try to relax. Breathe in deeply…

Eunice's tears flowed even more as she said, "It really hurt just now.""And now?"Eunice assessed her pain and realized the epidural must have taken effect, as she felt significantly better. She pouted pitifully and said, "It's a lot better after the epidural. It doesn't hurt as much…""That's good." Mortimer breathed a sigh of relief.Joel, who was standing nearby, suggested, "While Eunice hasn't started delivering yet, let her eat some sweets to replenish her energy. The real challenge is yet to come.""Alright." Mortimer took the sweet and carefully unwrapped it before gently bringing it to Eunice's mouth. "Eunice, eat this."Eunice took a bite, then cried again. She didn't understand why she was crying. Perhaps seeing someone she trusted made her emotional."Eunice, eat a bit more." Mortimer, who was usually a sophisticated and calm man, wiped away her tears and fed her another one.Standing by, Yasmin couldn't help but feel touched by Mortimer's gentleness.After finishi

By the time they woke up, it was already late afternoon.Yasmin stretched lazily and basked in the lazy afternoon sunlight, feeling like she had transcended into another world.She got out of bed, put on her house slippers, and walked into the living room.Blake was sitting at the dining table, working on his laptop. His shirt sleeves were rolled up slightly, and his high nose bridge was highlighted under the sunlight, casting a particularly handsome and charming profile.Yasmin paused in her steps. "You're still here?""I slept late last night, so I'm working from home today," Blake explained. Seeing her awake, he asked, "Are you hungry? I can make something for you.""No. I'll just have some milk."Yasmin walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. It was fully stocked with meat and vegetables that Blake had sent over.She frowned. Was he planning to move in? Why else would he have so much food delivered?She felt a bit frustrated as she grabbed a bottle of cold

Mortimer smiled and said, "Even if you enjoy taking care of him, it's better for you to focus on your recovery. Wait until the end of the confinement period before playing with him.""You're so bossy." Eunice was unwilling and huffed. "I want to watch over him.""You can watch, but try not to play with him too much and avoid holding him. Take care of yourself."Yasmin listened to their conversation in the hospital room, feeling like she wanted to cover her eyes. Did they even realize she was there?After chatting for a while, the baby returned from his bath. Mortimer's eyes softened upon seeing him. He walked over, picked up the baby, and showed him to Eunice and Yasmin.The baby perfectly inherited the best features of both her and Mortimer.Yasmin couldn't help but smile at the adorable, chubby little baby."He's so cute." Yasmin reached out and gently poked his cheek. The baby, who had just fallen asleep, opened his big dark eyes and looked at her.Eunice said, "Baby,

"Are you going over there for Michelle?" Blake asked bluntly.Joel coughed. "Well, I'm also helping you out." He had noticed Michelle much earlier. She was wearing a black cocktail dress and standing next to Carlos, her fair skin as white as snow. Joel couldn't tear his gaze away from her.He was mesmerized for a few seconds before stepping forward. "I'll handle them."Shortly after Joel left, someone approached Michelle and whispered in her ear.Michelle nodded and turned to Carlos. "Carlos, there's a gentleman who wants to discuss a collaboration with Ferguson Jewelry. Let's go and meet him.""Alright." Carlos and Michelle excused themselves from Yasmin and left.Yasmin was alone, and the product launch hadn't yet begun, so she felt a bit bored. She picked up two cupcakes from the buffet table. She hadn't had dinner yet and needed something to fill her stomach.Just as she was about to sit down and eat, a shadow cast over her, blocking the light above her head.Yasmin looke
