Chapter 1098 Childbirth (2) A Call to Hannah
Susan was taken to the designated hospital. Manuel had been talking with her on their way to
Jolencami that she might give birth prematurely. With her personality, knowing that Hannah was still
alive would make her very excited.
Finally, it happened. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance. Not only did he bring Susan''s attending
physician with them but he also contacted the hospital early on. With one phone call made at this
moment, they were already prepared on the other end.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital gate, arge group of people were waiting for them. As soon as
Susan got out of the car, she was arranged to sit in a wheelchair and quickly pushed into the delivery
room by the medical staff.
Susan had been calm before this moment. Even though her water broke, there wasn''t any pain yet. But
seeing so many people and such a big scene instantly made her nervous. She hurriedly grabbed
Manuel''s hand instinctively seeking support.
Manuel didn''t let go of her hand and followed along with medical staff quickly going into the delivery
room alongside Susan.
Upon arriving at the delivery room, the doctor said, "We need to examine Mrs Johnson''s cervical
condition first. Mr Johnson, you can wait outside for now. If it is time forbour we will let youe in
and apany your wife."
Manuel nodded his head while reluctantly letting go of Susan''s hand. Susan sped his hand and said,
"Don''t leave me."
"Listen, I''ll be right outside if anything happens."
"But I''m scared," said Susan anxiously holding onto Manuel''s hand tightly again unwillingly letting him
leave.
"Don''t be afraid," Manuel crouched down gently kissing her forehead reassuringly saying, "We''ll see
our baby soon."
Susan looked up eagerly, watching Manuel closely before being pushed inside by medical personnel.
Manuel began feeling uneasy himself. He had just pretended to be calm; he was nervous.
Salem came over trying tofort him. He held Manuel''s hand, which was slightly shivering, and said,
"Don''t worry, Uncle Manuel Auntie will be fine!"
Not until now did Manuel realize that Salem was together with them. Salem was a good kid, who had
helped him do a lot of things while he keptforting Susan. It was Salem who had helped him contact
the hospital and the people he needed. And now, he wasforting him.
Manuel squatted down and touched Salem''s head, saying, "Sal, you''re really good."
Salem felt a bit embarrassed when Manuel suddenly praised him. He lowered his head, with a blushing
face. Manuel couldn''t help but sigh. He thought they could have given Salem aplete family, but
unfortunately, his mother still refused to forgive his father. Manuel touched Salem''s head again and
stood up, looking towards the door of the delivery room.
After quite a while, a nurse came out and said, "Mrs Johnson''s water has broken and her cervix is
dted. She will be giving birth tonight. We are preparing for the delivery now. Once we are ready, you
can choose toe in and apany your wife during the natural childbirth."
"Okay, I''ll apany her," Manuel said quickly.
The nurse left.
Manuel turned to Salem and said, "Sal,ter on, I will be apanying Susan during childbirth. I don''t
rmend that youe with us. Can you wait for us outside the door until wee out?"
"Okay," Salem nodded obediently.
He was a very easy-going and sensible child.
"My phone is left with you. If you''re bored, feel free to y with it." Manuel continued.
"Okay."
"Promise me you won''t run around. If you need anything, the uncles and aunties here will help you."
Manuel kept reminding him.
Salem always agreed obediently. In a short while, medical staff came out and invited Manuel toe
in for the delivery. Manuel gave Salem a few more instructions before entering the delivery room.
Salem sat obediently on a chair in the long corridor outside the delivery room, with several people by

his side who were there to take care of him. However, they stood one meter away from him as they
didn''t want to startle him.
After a while, Salem felt a bit bored so he picked up Manuel''s phone.
There was no password on the phone, which must be because Manuel thought that Susan might
encounter problems at any time, and he was afraid that if there was a password, it would be
inconvenient for others to use his phone to contact him for help. Manuel indeed put Susan in the first
ce for everything, Salem reckoned. Salem wanted to watch cartoons with the phone.
But finally, he opened the chat app and sent a voice message to his dad, "Auntie Susan is giving birth
now. I''m at the hospital with Uncle Manuel to apany her."
There had been no response from over there. He didn''t know if his dad didn''t see it. Salem hesitated
for a moment, exited the chat software, and found a phone number, not his father''s phone number.
Salem wanted to call his mom. He found "Besse" on Manuel''s contact list.
"Is she asleep? It''ste now. Will I disturb her?" Salem thought to himself. But then he thought that his
mother and Susan were best friends, his mother must also be worried about Susan on this asion.
Thus he didn''t hesitate any more and pressed the call button.
The other side rang twice before connecting.
"Hi, Manuel."
"Mom... Miss Besse, it''s me, Salem."
Hannah''s hand holding the phone trembled a bit. Salem''s voice would always control her mood.
Her voice was very soft and gentle as she asked, "Where are you?"
"I''m at the hospital."
"What happened?" Hannah couldn''t help but get agitated.
"Auntie Susan is giving birth and I''m here with Uncle Manuel to apany her. He went into the
delivery room so I''m alone in the hallway."
"Which hospital?"
"Are youing over?"
"I''ll go right away."
"Okay," Salem said. "I don''t know which hospital it is but can I send you my location?"
Then Salem sent Hannah the location. Hannah replied with a text message, saying, "I''ll be there in 10
minutes."
"Okay, I''ll wait for you."
Salem put down the phone and waited in the hallway. He looked forward to seeing his mother in ten
minutes. When he left tonight, he was already thinking about how long it would be until he could see his
mother again. He was not sure if he went back with Manuel and Susan tomorrow, he could see Hannah
in the future.
Salem paced back and forth in the corridor while waiting for Hannah to arrive. He just can''t calm down
when thinking about seeing his mom soon.
Suddenly he heard hurried footsteps approaching from down the hallway. He turned around quickly
whereupon seeing that it was Hannah from afar.
Without hesitation or dy any further, Salem ran towards Hannah as fast as possible using all of his
little legs'' strength.
