Chapter 663 Going Into Labor
“Hahaha… Fine. I’ll make some time for a trip to Bloomstead in a few days. Wait for me.” Zac threw his head back with a chuckle and ended the call.
After putting the phone away, Conrad stared out the window with a dark gaze. Zac was the kind that was easily blinded by lust. Everything could be settled in bed.
Conrad was green with envy over the 45 billion that Zac got from the Spencers. Once he pocketed the whole sum, Zac would be of no use to him anymore!
…
Matthew was hospitalized for treatment, and Veronica spent all her waking hours at the hospital with him, with work being the only exception. The plastic surgeon arrived in Bloomstead very quickly, and after coming up with a plan for the procedure, he began the first surgery.
It was a success, and over the following months, Matthew underwent several more facial reconstruction surgeries. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the third of May.
Veronica, who carried on working as her belly continued to protrude further and further, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. Liquid started trickling down her thighs, so she quickly said to Yvette, “T-Take me to the hospital, now.”
Her due date was supposed to be the eighteenth of May and she didn’t think that the babies would arrive two weeks early.
Everyone in the meeting room was frantic. Immediately, they started checking in on her. “Are you alright, Miss Murphy?”
“Oh, my. You’re going into labor.”
“I can’t believe how dedicated to work you are. You’re even holding a meeting when you’re about to go into labor.”
“Quick. Take her to the hospital right away.”
The senior executives at Halston Technology thought highly of Veronica, and their concern for her was genuine too.
After helping Veronica downstairs to the car, Thomas dashed over to the driver’s seat while Yvette stayed with Veronica to keep her steady. The car sped straight to the hospital.
Once they arrived at Saint Private Hospital, Veronica was taken into the delivery room.
Matthew, Miguel, Caleb, Skyler, Monica, and Shirley all rushed over as soon as they got the news. They gathered outside the delivery room and waited fretfully.
Matthew couldn’t speak, so he could only sit in his wheelchair and stare at the delivery room in silence.
Miguel’s expression was grim. He glanced at Thomas and asked sternly, “Veronica’s labor date was right around the corner. Why did you let her continue working at the office?”
Thomas sighed helplessly. “Conrad has been lying in wait all along. Recently, he started making a move on Halston Technology. Miss Murphy was worried that Conrad might take the company away, so she has been working overtime every day without letting us know about it. How was I supposed to stop her?”
Yvette pursed her lips and added just as helplessly, “Miss Murphy has been working herself to the bone. The only time she’s not working is when she gets her six hours of sleep. Thomas and I try to minimize bringing up work in front of her, but she has her ways of finding out what’s going on with the company.”
After hearing the two of them, Shirley began to chastise herself over her inadequacy. Despite having taken over Vincere Games for nearly seven months now, she still had to trouble Veronica on and off whenever she encountered something she couldn’t handle.
“Miss Murphy has been dealing with a lot of matters for First Meeting too. She…” Monica’s heart ached for Veronica. “Ever since President Kings lost his memory, Miss Murphy has been shouldering the burden of everything by herself. Although she’s pregnant with twins, she has only gained 20 pounds during her pregnancy. My heart aches to see her like this.”
“Roni’s incredible. I don’t think I could ever be as strong as her.” Skyler glanced at the delivery room. His heart thumped uncomfortably as he heard her agonizing screams coming through the walls.
Time continued ticking. Crayson got the news and rushed over as well.
Veronica’s painful cries echoed in the corridor, and everyone continued to wait anxiously.
After two hours and forty minutes, the screams stopped at last. The light in the delivery room dimmed as the door opened and two nurses came out with smiles on their faces. “Congratulations! It was a smooth delivery. She gave birth to a pair of twins—a son and a daughter. Come. Who’s the father?”
Everyone turned to look at Matthew. He was missing an arm and could not hold the babies.
