Chapter 86
“Are you okay?” she kept on asking as she made an effort to keep her awake. She had never been faced with such a situation and it had come to pass earlier than expected which made her so scared. Reckoning on how fine and sound she was, Mrs. Jadiel could not explain what had happened downstairs when she had left for the kitchen but we knew that she was going to be alright.
She rushed her to the hospital and on reaching there, she began screaming for help before thinking of parking her car properly. The nurses came out running as it was a hospital where they frequent regularly.
Asking what the matter was, she cried out saying that her maid was in labor and needed to be rushed to the labor room. Everything had happened so fast that she did not have the time to think about bringing the baby’s clothes. Her heart was racing as she thought about her state inside the ward. If there was anything that she was good at, it was to pray for others as though she was in their shoes.
Her husband had finally called back after catching a glimpse of the multiple missed calls on his cell phone. Catching sight of his call, she picked it up immediately with tears in her eyes.
“What is going on honey?” he asked getting worried just by listening to her voice and Mrs. Jadiel making an effort to stop crying to talk properly to her husband, he even got more anxious than he was. Not being able to get anything that she was saying, he advised her to get a grip on herself before attempting to say anything further.
“Jane is at the hospital, she is in labor,” she managed to speak out with her breathing still sounding somehow as soon as Mr. Jadiel got the news, he stood up from his office, asking where they were and his wife responded ed saying that they were at the family hospital and she was in labor.
“I am coming thee right away just hang in there and wait for me okay?” he said hanging up the call. Mrs. Jadiel stood in the corridor not knowing what to do nor what to say as her head was aching so badly.
Sitting on the bench that was by her, she loitered for the doctors to come out with a piece of positive news which was going to make her smile but it was taking longer and longer than she had to rise back ok her feet to go check what was happening.
“Ma’am you can not stand here, please go back and wait for the doctor to come out,” a nurse spoke out politely but Mrs. Jadiel was so scared for Jane that she did not want anything to happen to her or her baby.
Praying in her heart, she gave attention to her husband calling her from behind, and on veering around to see who had called her from behind, she was pleased to see her husband standing in the corridor. Walking faster in line with a child who had not seen her father for years, Mrs. Jadiel hugged her companion with so much fear in her eyes.
“It is alright, everything will be fine, I am here with you now nothing will go wrong,” he whispered into her ears making sure that she felt better.
Mr. Jadiel knew the kind of wife he had married and knew how fragile and scared faced with such situations, it was only normal for him to be there with her if not she was going to freak herself out to death.
The hospital staff could not be seen anywhere and it looked like something was wrong as they saw their family doctor coming out of his office after being told that Mrs. Jadiel was in the hospital and Gee had brought someone with her who was having complications.
“Doctor Smith, I am happy to see that you are in charge here,” Mr. Jadiel spoke out extending his right hand for a handshake, and Doctor Smith letting out a parched smile, said that he was happy to see them as well as he was on duty that day.
Asking them to excuse him as he had to attend to the patient in question, but before he could move an inch, Mrs. Jadiel held him back for some seconds as she pleaded with tears in her eyes for him to do everything humanly possible to save Jane because she is a good lady and has so much to achieve In life.
Seeing how desperate she was to save her maid, the doctor told her not to worry as he was going to do his best. Mrs. Jadiel was aware of the fact that pregnancy is a very monotonous moment in a woman’s life but all she prayed for was for everything to be okay so that she could continue with her life.
Nodding her head in agreement, she left back to her duty post, leaving her boss alone in her room looking at the baby’s outfits on the bed.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Talking to her maid had made her realize how selfish she had been all those years when she only thought about the pains that she was feeling not thinking about what her husband was equally going through because of the situation.
Mrs. Jadiel felt better after her discussion with her maid and all she wanted to do was to welcome her husband back home that night and give him a treat that he was never going to forget in a hurry. Waiting for him to come back home, she left her room for the living room where she was to have her meal in the dining section but something captivated her attention as she looked around not being able to find her maid. Calling out her name while walking towards the kitchen.
As she entered the kitchen, she found her lying on the floor feeling so much pain and she screamed out in fright asking what the matter was but Blaze’s mother was down having the worst feeling that she had ever had.
“Tell me, what I can do to make you feel better,” she cried out but it seemed like we were having a contraction. Telling her to keep her calm and breathe normally, she stood up asking her to hang in there while she went to take her car keys and phone to call her husband.
“Ma’am I am feeling pain please help me, she cried out at the top of her voice and each time she yelled out in pain, her paramour felt bad and confused. She ran up and down while calling out to the security guard to come and help her but thinking about the key and the phone upstairs, she ran up to get them.
On getting there, she gave attention to her maid screaming downstairs so she grabbed the stuff on the table before going back downstairs to meet her.
” Yes, ma’am you call for me,” the lookout said and Mrs. Jadiel asked for his help to take her maid into the car, they both assisted her on her feet but the pain she was feeling was indescribable. Her heart was happy because she knew that her child was on the way and that alone was the best thing she could ever ask for.
“Breath dear we are leading the way to the hospital now,” Mrs. Jadiel consoled her from her steering wheel while looking at her from the rearview mirror. Her screams made her uncertain every single time but she had to keep her focus on the road to crash into an accident.
Her husband’s phone was unreachable and it was important for him to pick up his call. The dusk could already be seen while the roads were becoming blocked by traffic as many workers were on their way back from work causing a massive holdup.
