Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

That night, Micaela watched a movie until midnight.

Nico was sleepy and was asleep next to her.

Micaela was also ready to fall asleep, placing the tablet on the bedside table of the hospital bed, and with such a movement, something suddenly went wrong under it.

The amniotic fluid ruptured.

Micaela called out to Nico, “Nico, Nico.”

She reached out and nudged him.

Nico woke up sleepily, “What’s wrong, is your tummy starting to hurt?”.

Micaela’s face was calm and composed, but her words were terrifying, “I think my water broke.”

“Fuck!”

Nico instantly came to his senses and rolled onto his back, running out of the room at a brisk pace, “I’m going to get a doctor! Hold on. Micaela hang on!”

“…”

Micaela began to have fits of pain, too painful to speak, and wanted to curse Nico but couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

Raising her hand, she rang the reminder bell on the bedside.

Isn’t there a bell? What’s the rush to run …

Nico’s worry about her pregnancy and childbirth is unbearable when it comes to this.

Micaela rattled the neck brace and a nurse came over to check on her soon after.

Nico ran to the office and called Micaela’s primary care physician to come help her.

Fearing that something was wrong with Micaela, Nico quickly called Sein again and told him to come to the hospital late in the evening and wait for him.

Another call was then made to Campoverde to pick up all the blood donors staying at the hotel near the hospital and wait for orders.

Once that was done, Nico hurried back, with the doctor and nurse at Micaela’s side.

Nico circled around the nurses and walked over to ask the woman who ran the maternity unit, “How did it go?”

The director checked the opening of the uterus and calmly said, “President Nico, Ms. Micaela has only opened one finger here, and looking at this, it will be almost morning until the full opening is smoother.”

Nico didn’t know much about childbirth and didn’t quite understand what the doctor was saying, so he just frowned and asked, “How long is she going to be in pain like this?”

“Mrs. Micaela is in labor for the first time and it takes about ten hours to open the uterus, but of course, there are five or six hours to open it all the way and fifteen or sixteen hours to finish.”

“Isn’t this going to hurt too much, is there anything we can do?”

The doctor shook her head and said, “It’s normal if you have a normal delivery.”

Micaela, lying on the hospital bed, clutched the sheets in pain, her face haggard and sweaty, her long hair sticking to her temples and face.

Nico came over and crouched down in front of the bed, holding Micaela’s hand with one hand and tousling her messy hair with the other, nervous but unable to do anything about it.

The doctor finished her examination with the nurse and turned away with the intention of leaving.

Nico was so nervous that he lost his temper and shouted, “Why are you leaving, can’t you see he’s in pain? Come back here.”

Nico’s status is so prestigious that doctors and nurses are afraid to offend him.

The doctor explained with a smile, “President Nico, here’s the thing, Mrs. Micaela is in a lot of pain right now, but it’s all a normal reaction to childbirth, at this stage, come one or two hours at a time to observe the opening of the uterus, the fetus is not yet in the pelvis to give birth.”

Micaela grabbed Nico’s arm, her face contorted in pain, but instructed, “Nico, don’t make a scene.”

Only then did Nico let the doctor go.

But the next thing I knew, Micaela was screaming in pain every few moments.

Nico put his arm close to her mouth and said, “Bite me, that will make it better.”

Micaela uses Nico’s arm as a biter.

After six hours of tossing and turning, Micaela was getting used to the painful contractions.

The whole man lay there in agony, like a dying and hungry/thirsty fish.

The doctor came back early in the morning to check on her and said, “Six fingers are already open, that’s pretty quick, I guess in a little while, around nine o’clock, we’ll be able to open all the fingers in the delivery room for the birth.”

It hurts too much.

Even for someone as tolerant as Micaela, the pain made her cry several times.

Nico looked at the corners of her scarlet eyes and said wistfully, “I never should have agreed to have this baby!”

“The birth is about to happen…. ah-!”

There was another sound of agony.

Micaela’s fingernails, pinching the flesh of Nico’s arm bones.

Micaela winced and said, “There are books in the drawer, read to me.”

Nico was furious, “What’s the point of reading at this point?”.

“Divert my attention for a moment! Nico, read it!”

“…”

Nico groped around and found a random book in a drawer, the original English edition of Othello.

Nico read irregularly, reading a line and directing a glance at Micaela.

“Nico, I’m going crazy, what’s the point of having a baby, I should have listened to you… ah-”

Nico didn’t bother reading and tossed the copy of Othello aside, “Why does it hurt more? I’m going to get a doctor.”

Micaela weakly took his hand and choked, “Nico, don’t go, stay here with me.”

He was leaving and she hurt even more.

It’s not a good idea to call a doctor right now.

You can only stay up until the whole finger opens up.

Micaela didn’t hurt so much for a while and watched silently as Nico cried.

Nico couldn’t look away, raising his hand to cover her eyes, “Micaela, don’t look at me like that, I won’t be able to help hating the boy for making you feel so bad.”

But the dry palm still felt full of Micaela’s wet tears and sweat.

Nico regrets having a baby, he should never have said yes to her.

Micaela was in pain until 10 a. m., after more than 10 hours of pain, when she fully opened her fingers and the doctors and nurses took her to the delivery room.

Nico intends to follow as well.

However, Micaela stopped him, “Wait outside, quick, don’t follow me inside, it’s a waste of worry for you to go in.”

“Micaela…”

Before Nico could say anything, Micaela was patting his hand, “Nico, don’t make me have to worry about you when I have a baby. Be good.”

“…”

Nico obeyed and didn’t go into the delivery room.

Actually, Micaela was afraid that if Nico saw such a bloody and brutal scene, he would remember it for the rest of his life and be afraid for the rest of his life, and she would rather he didn’t see it.

Nico was more nervous than she was about giving birth, and if she went in, she feared she would become too nervous and interfere with her birthing process.

Nico stood guard outside the delivery room, fidgeting, pacing back and forth, anxious to the max.

I repeatedly tapped the phone screen to check the time.

An hour had passed and it still wasn’t over.

Nico was so anxious he tried to barge in, but Campoverde stopped him, “Mr. Nico, it should still be going normally, if you rush it won’t be good for your wife’s labor, we should wait.”

Nico gritted his teeth, anxious and manic.

An hour and a half later, Micaela finally gave birth to a son.

From the delivery room came the cheerful sound of, “It’s happening, Mrs. Go inform the family!”

When the delivery was over, the doctor came out of the delivery room, his gloves stained with blood, and was about to tell Nico about the situation when Nico burst in.

“Micaela!”
