Chapter 433 Yvonne’s Child Is Born
Veronica sat alone outside for a long time until she shivered in the cool night breeze. At last, she rose to her feet and left. As she walked, she realized that she was back at Twilight Condominium.
While standing beneath the towering structure, she raised her eyes to look at it and a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips. Is this my subconscious trying to lead me home?
She turned around, flagged down a cab on the side of the road and returned to her own apartment. At the apartment door, she flipped the carpet to retrieve a spare key hidden beneath it. She then entered after opening the door.
Familiar, but it does not feel the same anymore. Veronica lay on the bed after taking a shower. Still, she was not feeling sleepy at all as her mind was a jumble, causing her brain to become fuzzy.
Her thoughts would involuntarily lead her to Matthew and all she could hear was Skyler and Sasha’s conversations at the Twilight Condominium earlier.
When the truth was revealed, those words circled in her head like a sharp dagger. Veronica’s heart was pierced every time she thought about it. It was filled with pain and anguish…
Dawn arrived and the sky brightened; she eventually dozed off. Not long after, she awoke from her sleep.
Picking up her phone to check the time, she was disappointed to see no unread text messages when she unlocked her phone; disappointment and loneliness flooded her face.
As if Veronica’s argument with her parents and Master Crayson about her marriage the other day was a joke.
The agony she was experiencing right now was a tragic consequence of her obsession with Matthew. What a lesson.
Despaired, Veronica sat on the bed staring blankly ahead and fell silent.
…
Matthew never looked for Veronica again after the incident and she never appeared in front of him either.
Though they were both in the same city and had mutual friends, they never met, so it appeared to be a tacit agreement.
In reality, they were all avoiding each other as they were unwilling to bump into each other.
She worked as a model for the Starshine Media Agency while also managing Vincere Games.
In the blink of an eye, three months flew by.
Veronica’s company, Vincere Games, had a stable income, so she and her business partners formed a joint venture media company.
Since she had previously signed a contract with Matthew for a wedding company, she had been receiving her five percent shares after his wedding company’s business had soared following its launch.
She had an unused bank card linked to a mobile phone number that allowed her to view her earnings, but she never used it.
Regarding Veronica’s identity, it circled back into a mystery once again because of Tiffany’s death and Matthew’s cancellation of their engagement. Everything fell into stationary silence as if it was only a dream.
Ring— Ring—
After the show, Veronica was relaxing in the lounge when her phone rang.
She picked up her phone to see Yvonne’s caller ID flashing on the screen.
“Yvonne?”
“Sob… Roni, my water broke… Sob…”
Taken aback, Veronica was surprised to hear Yvonne’s painful voice on the other end. “Why did it break so quickly? Isn’t your due date in ten days?”
“I’m not sure… Sob… I’m scared…”
“Okay, fine. Don’t freak out. I’m going to call the hospital.”
Veronica dialed 999 after hanging up the phone and quickly changed her clothes to leave the backstage before dashing to Yvonne’s place.
Ivana rushed to the hospital after receiving the call as well and waited with Veronica for more than an hour, but the baby had yet to be born.
Suddenly, Yvonne’s scream could be heard clearly from the delivery room.
After a few moments, the door to the delivery room finally opened.
“May I ask who the family members of Yvonne are?” inquired the doctor as he walked out.
“I am.”
“Did the labor go well?” Veronica asked as she stood up and approached the doctor.
“The mother suffers from dystocia…”
Despite the doctor’s extensive explanation afterward, Veronica remained at the word “dystocia”.
At that sight, Ivana nudged her until she finally came back to her senses. “Veronica, are you listening?”
“Huh? Yeah.”
It took the doctor a moment to continue right after Veronica gathered her composure as he said, “This is a risk consent form; please sign it.”
“I…”
Needless to say, she was overwhelmed at this point before signing the form at last.
Since Yvonne’s parents had yet to learn of her pregnancy and she was now in the delivery room, Veronica could not possibly let Yvonne die by not signing the consent form. Right?
With that, the doctor returned to the operating room after obtaining Veronica’s signature.
Fishing out her phone, she called Conrad’s friend, Skyler, for the first time in three months.
During this time, she removed Matthew from her life by blocking his phone number and deleting all of his contact information.
Of course, she would not contact Matthew’s friend either.
“Roni, why are you… Why are you calling me?” Skyler asked as he answered the call.
“I’m currently at Westcross Children Hospital and Yvonne is suffering from dystocia. Can you think of any way to get in touch with the best obstetrician?” Veronica had no choice but to seek Skyler’s assistance.
“Dystocia? Sh*t, how did this happen?” Skyler muttered, “Please wait a moment. I’ll call my friend right away and ask for her assistance.”
Twenty minutes later, a doctor was seen hurriedly entering the operating room. After some time, Veronica finally heard a baby’s cries.
Finally, her tense heart had relaxed.
“Congratulations, it’s a little boy,” the doctor exclaimed as he walked out of the room, holding the baby in his arms.
“It’s wonderful to see the baby. Is everything okay with Yvonne?” Veronica inquired as she took a step forward and looked at the wrinkled little boy in the doctor’s arms.
“The mother gave birth safely; everything is fine.”
“The mother of the child is weak and the child will be fed formula later,” the doctor explained as he handed the child to Veronica.
“Formula?”
Veronica was surprised and turned to Ivana. “Damn. We didn’t buy anything.”
“You look after the child. I’ll buy something for Yvonne,” she said as she handed the child to Ivana.
Yvonne’s due date was supposedly ten days later, so the express delivery package Veronica ordered online was still on its way. Who knew she was going to give birth this soon?
Veronica dashed downstairs, intending to buy a hospital bag for Yvonne’s labor.
As a result, Veronica, who rushed out of the elevator, collided with someone as she turned to the corner. “Oh my! I’m sorry. I—” she apologized subconsciously, but was taken aback when she looked up at the person in front of her.
Standing in front of her was none other than Matthew; beside him was Skyler and a doctor in a white coat.
When Skyler saw Veronica, his expression changed and he motioned to the doctor beside him to excuse them.
Veronica saw Matthew again after three months and her heart, which she thought had calmed down, suddenly accelerated and it was getting intense.
“A-Are you okay?”
Matthew looked at the woman in front of him and noticed she was sweating profusely, seemingly in a rush; he was concerned…
