Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

S31 205. Barbara Giving Birth

“Louis, Auntie is about to give birth!” Emily rose with a high arch of

her eyebrows.

“You’re right! We have to take her to the hospital!”

Wasting no time, Louis grabbed Barbara’s hand, pulling her to turn around. “Come on, Auntie. Let’s go back to the car.”

However, Barbara shook her head. Her face was pale, her body tense. Her feet seemed to be glued to the earth.

“What’s wrong, Auntie?”

“Call Philip,” she muttered softly.

“What?”

“Call Philip!”

The twins flinched. After one nod, they ran towards Philip.

“Uncle Philip! Uncle Philip!”

“Hey, where are you guys going?” Barbara exclaimed again.

The twins braked. When they looked back, Barbara was waving. “W

did you leave me here alone?” Her voice was shrill.

“You told us to call Uncle Philip!” Louis shook his head, not understanding.

“Yeah, but don’t leave me here.” While limping, she inched closer to Louis and Emily. “One person calls him. One more person, hold me!

The twins blinked. Not because they didn’t understand, but because they were surprised that Barbara could walk that badly. Even a 90-yea -old grandmother could do better than that!

“Why are you still?” Barbara waved again. “Hurry up and call Philip!”

The twins blinked. Louis poked his chest with his thumb. “I’m a faster runner than you, Emily. So, let me call Uncle. You help Auntie walk carefully. You’re strong, right?”

“You still have time to discuss? Hurry up and do it!”

“Okay!”

Louis ran again. His hand waved, hoping to catch Philip’s attention. Unfortunately, the man was too focused on the sound from his earphones. Only when Louis was panting in front of him did he take his eyes off the phone.

“What’s wrong, Louis?” He took off one earphone. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Auntie peed! Looks like she’s about to give birth!”

Philip got up from the park bench. In the distance, Barbara was having difficulty walking even though Emily was holding her hand.

Without another word, Philip ran. He put his phone in his pocket ready to take Barbara who was crying and grumbling.

“Why are you taking so long? You said you wanted to be a sta husband? I’m scared, Philip. What if our baby comes out here?”

“Okay, I’m sorry. Let’s go to the hospital.” Philip carried Barbara walked quickly towards the car. Meanwhile, Emily ran as hard as s

could.

“Louis, quickly open the car door!” Philip shouted, a few meters fror the parking lot.

Louis ran over instead. “Where is the car key?”

“In my trouser pocket.” Philip stopped for a moment, letting Louis reach into his pocket.

“Where? It’s the phone.”

“The other pocket.”

Emily swiftly reached into the other pocket. While she pressed the button on the lock, Louis ran to open the door for Barbara.

“Hurry up, Uncle!” Louis held the door. His other hand waved,

gesturing for Philip to pass.

Then, while Philip lowered Barbara into the seat, Louis took the car keys from Emily’s hand. He climbed into the driver’s seat, started the engine.

“Uncle, if I drive, we can arrive at the hospital sooner.”

“No!” the other three people answered in unison.

“Don’t be crazy, Louis,” Emily scolded from the seat next to Barbara.

“Now move quickly!”

Before Philip sat down, Louis jumped into the side seat. Without further delay, they drove to the hospital.

“Come on, Auntie, catch your breath. Inhale… exhale. Inhale… exh

The twins’ heads moved up and down to match Barbara. Louis was on her right side, while Emily was on her left. Both of them grasped her cold fingers.

Suddenly, Barbara groaned. Her furrowed brows shadowed her eyes again. “Where’s Philip? Why isn’t he back yet?”

“Be patient, Auntie. Uncle has just left. Taking care of the

administration takes time. He has a lot to write.” Emily stroked

Barbara’s cheek.

Louis nodded, supporting Emily’s statement. “Just catch your breath,

Auntie. Calm yourself.”

“How can I calm down? The contraction is coming again!”

“Then let’s take another breath. Come on, Auntie!” Emily shook

Barbara’s hand.

However, this time, Barbara refused. “My baby is pressing me harder and harder. Can’t I push now?”

“No, Auntie!” the twins exclaimed at the same time.

“The doctor said that you can only push when your cervix becomes fully dilated. It has to open to 10 centimeters,” added Emily.

Barbara’s tears began to fall. Closing her eyes, she tried to catch her

breath.

“Auntie, are you actually excited or scared?” Emily wiped the tears from her cheeks. “There’s no need to be afraid. Mommy and Aunt Ava could do it. Auntie can too! Moreover, you are the most diligent in

exercise.”

“But Auntie, if you’re afraid of giving birth, why not just have surgery Louis said, making Barbara’s eyes open again.

“That’s even scarier, Louis! I don’t want my stomach to be cut open. Just one time I lay on the operating table. One time. I don’t want it

anymore.”

“Then be patient. Just imagine Braille’s cute face when she comes out.”

Barbara and Emily fell silent in a brief moment. “What did you say?

Brail who?”

“Braille. Isn’t that the name of your child?”

“Briony!”

While Barbara shook her head incessantly and Emily patted her forehead, Louis chuckled. “Sorry. The name is really difficult.”

“Please don’t test my patience, Louis. Philip and I have worked hard

to think of that name. Don’t change it on a whim!”

“Okay, I’ll remember carefully. Who was that? Brainy?”

“Briony!”

Suddenly, Barbara grimaced. Her hands clenched tightly into fists. Emily widened her eyes at how strong her grip was. “Auntie?”

“Kids….” Gasping, Barbara began to pull her legs towards her chest. I can’t hold it in any longer. Call the doctor!”

“But Auntie, you only opened to 7 centimeters.”

“Hurry!”

Louis jumped out of bed. “Nurse! Auntie said she couldn’t take it anymore!” he shouted as he ran.

Right at that time, a nurse opened the door. She was bringing a la ball. “What’s wrong, Sweet Boy?”

“Auntie said she couldn’t take it anymore!”

The nurse placed the ball in the corner of the room. She approached Barbara with a casual gesture. When she was about to ask, Barbara was already pushing.

“Ma’am?” The nurse stared wide eyed. “Could you-”

“It’s coming out! I think Briony is starting to come out!”

The nurse blinked. She checked the situation under the patient’s gown. A second later, she gasped. “Oh no!”

Π

Quickly, she pressed the red button on the wall. Then, as she ran out, Emily crawled to Barbara’s feet, peeking.

“Auntie! I can see Briony’s hair!”

Suddenly, Barbara groaned again.

“Briony’s head is out!”

Curious, Louis walked over. However, before he managed to remove

Barbara’s dress, his feet lifted off the floor.

“Sorry, Sweet Child. The doctor must act immediately. You

accompany your aunt from outside, hmm?” A nurse carried him

towards the door.

Louis’ lips pursed. “Can’t we accompany Auntie inside? When Russell was born, we accompanied Mommy”

“Sorry, Sweet Boy. This time is different.”

As he was lowered outside the door, Louis immediately pushed the chair against the glass window. Behind him, Emily did the same

“Is Briony’s head really coming out? Or were you just trying to Auntie?” Louis inquired as Emily stood beside him.

“I really saw it, Louis. Briony looked like a doll covered in blood. didn’t mention the blood. I was afraid Auntie would faint.”

Suddenly, the door on the other side opened. “Is Briony out yet?” Philip walked in with wide eyes.

“Uncle, come in quickly! Briony’s head was already out!”

“Yes, hurry, Uncle! Auntie will be angry if you don’t accompany her t give birth!”
