Aimee bit down hard on her teeth; never before had pain been so intense for her than now.
Patrick gently patted Aimee’s back. After an unknown amount of time passed, he finally pulled away from Aimee holding up both sides of her face in his hands, which made Aimee wince. She bit into her lip, which caused it to bleed profusely, making everything swell up including around both eyes.
“You tried your best,” said Patrick softly, trying hard not show any emotions, because he knew full well this wasn’t going help any further!
Aimee shook her head slightly but couldn’t say anything else.
“You tried your best,” repeated Patrick reassuringly, trying desperately hard not make things worse than they already were.
Aimee actually understood everything. She was a doctor, but she was not omnipotent.
However, Aimee just can’t get over it.
And now was not the time for her to fall into her own emotions.
Aimee suppressed her tears, adjusted her emotions, and said, “I’ll eat something to restore my strength.”
There were still many things to be handled, and each of them cannot fall down.
Patrick was relieved to hear that Aimee was willing to eat.
Aimee went to wash her face, but still couldn’t wash away her gauntness.
As the two came out of the room, Kelvin was arranging Camdyn’s remains. April, Matilda and Tilly helped him guard Casey.
The men were dealing with the following matters.
Patrick said to Aimee, “Aimee, you stay with Casey and the others, okay?”
Aimee said, “No, I can do it.”
Seeing that Aimee persisted, Patrick didn’t say anything.
Having her by his side can always reassure him.
When Casey woke up and saw the room full of people, tears immediately streamed down her face. She didn’t need to ask what had happened, because she already knew.
Aimee stood up and said, “Casey, come eat something, okay? You’ve been sleeping for seven or eight hours. Your body needs sustenance.”
Casey held Aimee’s hand and said, “Aimee… grandpa…”
Aimee pursed her lips for a long time before saying, “Casey, we’re all here.”
There was no need to say more. Everything had already been explained.
Casey couldn’t accept this fact at all. Her tears wouldn’t stop flowing.
At this moment, Aimee also felt helpless and didn’t know how to comfort Casey. It seemed like anything she said would be futile.
Inside the room, Matilda and Tilly were wiping away their tears while Ivy and April went out to get some food for Casey. However, Casey couldn’t even eat a bite. The smell alone made her frown in disgust.
Aimee softly urged her on, “Casey, eat a little bit more. Grandpa wouldn’t want to see you like this.”
When Camdyn was mentioned again by Aimee’s words, the tears flowed even harder from Casey’s eyes.
“Aimee…” Casey hugged Aimee tightly until she finally broke down in sobs.
As the youngest child of the Hayden family, she had been spoiled by Camdyn since childhood.
Although sometimes she felt that grandpa actually loved Patrick more, she never felt unloved herself.
Now that grandpa who loved her so much was gone, Casey really didn’t know what to do anymore.
What made it worse was that grandpa wanted them to get married and have children so badly, but he hadn’t even enjoyed his bliss yet… and he wasn’t able attend their weddings either.
The more Casey thought about it, the sadder she became until she could no longer control her tears.
If only they had gotten married earlier…
But there were no ifs in this world.
The thing that was most useless in this world was if…
Casey held onto Aimee tightly as her tears continued unabatedly. Her stomach began hurting badly too. It hurt so much that it affected her breathing ??with beads of sweat forming on her forehead as well.
She pointed at herself, “A-Aim-ee… my stomach… it hurts…”
Seeing how bad things were getting with Casey’s condition, Aimee quickly lifted up the covers only find out Casey’s legs were wet.
This frightened everyone else, and Aimee said immediately, “Matilda, go get Kelvin over here. Tell him to push the instrument over. Hurry up!”
Casey’s baby was born prematurely. If not dealt with in time, the baby may be…
Matilda ran out immediately and called Kelvin over.
The Hayden family was in turmoil all of a sudden.
Casey’s premature delivery caught the Hayden family by surprise.
The baby didn’t even cry when it was born, thanks to the fact that there was a doctor at home.
Otherwise, given the situation at that time, if she was sent to the hospital, there might be serious problems.
Casey had insisted on giving birth by herself, and no matter what, Kelvin could not be allowed to enter the delivery room with her.
She had read many posts. Originally, it was a sweet thing for a husband to accompany his wife into the delivery room. However, many husbands will leave psychological impact afterwards, which will affect the relationship between husband and wife.
Casey didn’t want her married life with Kelvin to be affected. Even if Kelvin proposed to stay with her, she refused to agree.
Who would have thought that now, Kelvin would actually deliver the baby in person.
Due to Casey’s premature birth, the Hayden family was caught off guard. She had planned to go to a postpartum center but ended up giving birth and recovering at home. The baby was a girl, skinny and only weighed three pounds and seven ounces. When she was born, she didn’t even cry, which scared everyone.
Fortunately, during the delivery, Averi and Matilda contacted Tony who brought everything they needed over right away. The baby was immediately placed in an incubator.
Casey’s condition wasn’t good. She had excessive bleeding and fainted during labor. After more than
20 hours of chaos, the Hayden family finally regained its composure.
Aimee collapsed from exhaustion this time for real. Patrick stayed with Aimee while Kelvin watched over Casey and the baby. Others were busy handling Camdyn’s affairs.
Everyone was too busy dealing with unexpected events that they couldn’t spare any emotions for mourning or joyfulness. They were all handling various emergencies while keeping the lights on in the house.
Aimee slept for two hours but woke up frequently worrying about Casey and her child. Patrick felt heartbroken but also worried at this moment. He couldn’t help it.
Aimee went into Casey’s room where Kelvin was watching over them both. “Kelvin, you should take a nap too so you can recharge your energy. I’ll watch over here.”
This time Kelvin didn’t argue with Aimee because he knew neither of them could afford to fall down right now. “Okay,” he nodded his head before saying, “I’ll leave it to you.”
“Don’t worry,” said Aimee reassuringly as she added, “I’m feeling better now.”
When dawn broke out, Casey woke up from her sleep after having undergone cesarean section surgery. That left her feeling sore all over her body due to being cut open by a knife blade.
As soon as Casey saw Aimee sitting beside her bed, she began sobbing uncontrollably herself as if blaming herself for causing Grandpa’s death due to giving birth to the baby…
“Don’t say such things!” scolded Aimee sternly. She knew full well that it wasn’t true what Casey thought about herself taking responsibility when there really wasn’t any need for self-blame here!
“It’s just a coincidence,” continued Aimee, trying hard not let things get worse than they already were before adding firmly, “You’re just too sad right now, which is why you gave birth prematurely. Don’t blame yourself!”
“But Aimee,” Casey’s eyes went red, “I’m afraid the baby will grow up and they’ll call her a bane.”
“Stop talking nonsense!” Aimee pretended to be angry, “Who dares!”
Casey whimpered. It wasn’t her own thought, but something she had just dreamed about.
In her dram, no one welcomed the birth of her child, and no one was happy when her child was born.
They all said that it was because of this child that her grandfather died.
Aimee said, “Casey, listen to me, what happened to grandpa is something we don’t want to, but grandpa is old, you know?”
Casey nodded, still crying.
There was a voice in her head tearing at her, making it impossible for her not to care about it at all.
Aimee added, “The baby was born at this time. It is a gift from grandpa. Casey, we should all thank grandpa, right?”
“Is that so?” Casey looked at Aimee with teary eyes, not sure if she should accept this statement.
Aimee said, “That’s it, Casey. Don’t be too sad, and don’t take the responsibility on yourself.”
What Aimee didn’t say was that she was the one who needed to take responsibility herself.
It was because of the rumors about her that grandpa was so angry and fell down the stairs, which caused today’s tragedy.
If she was to be held accountable, she was the one who could hardly escape the blame.
After Aimee coaxed Casey for a while, she finally calmed down and accepted what Aimee said about the baby being a gift from her grandfather.
Casey turned to look at the little girl in the incubator. She was so small and fragile-looking.
“Can I hold her?” Casey asked.
“Not yet,” Aimee replied. “She’s not doing too well.”
Casey immediately became anxious and struggled to get up from the bed.
Aimee stopped her, saying, “Don’t move. You need to rest and not strain your incision.”
Tears welled up in Casey’s eyes again as she thought of her child. She hadn’t protected her baby well enough.
“Don’t worry,” Aimee reassured her. “With me and Kelvin here, your baby will be fine. She’ll be healthy.
Right now, what’s important is giving her a name.”
