Chapter 1581


    Hansen gritted his teeth as he stared at Santiago who was lying in a vegetative state. "Alvin..."


    "Yes, Mr. Richards?"


    "I want you to ry a message to the people. Tell them to protect Raeleigh at all cost. Offer her any


    help should she ever need it."


    Hansen looked up at Alvin, who was stunned for a moment. Then Alvin turned to look at Jepherson,


    who was sitting up in the hospital bed. Alvin was shocked when he heard Hansen''s words.


    Jepherson looked over at his father. He had a determined look on his face. He could tell that his


    father wanted revenge. He knew his father would not let this matter slide.


    Jepherson stared at his father for a while. He knew that everyone in the family was devastated by


    what happened to Santiago. Therefore, his father would rather entrust the matter of revenge to


    Raeleigh than him.


    Jepherson did not say much. The damage this time was too great for him to ept, let alone his


    parents.


    His mother had yet toe to terms with it. She had been drifting in and out of consciousness


    these past few days. The doctor said that if her condition were to persist, there was a possibility that


    she would slip into aa and potentially cause permanent damage to her body.


    Jepherson remained silent. Hansen broke the silence and instructed Alvin, "You can go now."


    Alvin nodded and turned to leave. After he left, Hansen stood up and walked to Jenna''s side. He


    ced his hands on either side of his wife''s body and bent down to look at her. "How are you


    feeling today?"


    Jenna did not speak. Her nose was red while her eyes were swollen and puffy from crying. When


    she saw Hansen, she could not stop her tears from trickling down her eyes.


    Hansen lowered his head and kissed her bitter tears away. He pressed his face against hers and


    said, "I''m sorry that I''ve let you down again."


    Jenna looked at Hansen. "It''s not your fault, but..."


    "It is... It is my fault. I was being selfish. I wanted to spend more time with you, so I left our sons at


    home to take care of themselves and even neglected them, which led to the current situation. You


    can rest assured that from now on, I will never let those covetous people seed."


    Hansen kissed Jenna on the forehead. When he pulled away, Jenna took a good look at him and


    realized that his head had more white hairs than she remembered.


    Jenna raised her hand to touch his hair before pulling him into a hug, sobbing uncontrobly.


    The pain of losing their son was like a knife piercing through the heart and she was not the only one


    in pain. How could she ever get over this?


    Furthermore, Santiago was her youngest son, the one she doted on most.


    Jenna hugged Hansen and started bawling.


    Jepherson looked at his parents and then at Santiago, who was sleeping peacefully. The only


    difference was that he was never going to wake up. Then, Jepherson suddenly turned his face away


    and closed his eyes tightly.


    Outside the door, when Hannah heard Jenna sobbing in the ward, she started crying too. Rayan


    held his beloved wife in his arms and took a deep breath. He''d be lying if he said he wasn''t in pain.


    After all, he watched Santiago grow up. Now that things had turned out like this, how could he not


    feel distressed?


    When Deanna saw her mother crying, she could not help but start crying as well. She was under so


    much emotional stress that she started to feel nauseous.


    Deanna hurriedly ran to one side to vomit. Rayan quickly alerted his wife before rushing towards


    their daughter. Deanna could not seem to control herself and kept vomiting repeatedly.


    "Mom... my stomach, it hurts!"


    Deanna''s screams frightened her parents. Rayan immediately shouted for help. Fortunately, they


    were in the hospital. So, Rayan quickly lifted his daughter onto a gurney and followed her into the


    delivery room.


    However, Jacky was not around and men weren''t allowed to enter the delivery room. Therefore,


    Rayan wasn''t allowed in. Hannah wanted to be in the room with her daughter, but the nurses told


    her that she wasn''t allowed in the delivery room either.


    Hannah wasn''t aware of such a rule and was extremely anxious for her daughter. Raeleigh soon


    rushed over after receiving the news and so did Rossie.


    Raeleigh wanted to go in, but Xanthus said that it was taboo for a pregnant woman who was not


    about to give birth, to enter the delivery room.


    Raeleigh looked at Xanthus, not knowing whether he was telling the truth or not.


    When Rossie saw the group of people standing outside the delivery room, she immediately asked


    what happened. Although Hannah and Rossie had not made up, she still trusted Rossie. She


    quickly exined to Rossie, "The doctors would not allow us into the delivery room. Deanna is in


    there alone. I really want to...."


    "It''s alright, I''ll go in and apany her."


    Rossie rushed into the scrub room and quickly changed into some scrubs. When she got entered


    the delivery room, she heard Deanna screaming in pain.


    Rossie rushed over to hold Deanna''s hand.


    "Deanna, you have to be strong. Otherwise, your baby willugh at you. You''re about to be a


    mother, you have to push."


    Deanna nodded her head. The doctor had never seen a woman, who was about to give birth,


    screaming and crying so much. It was exhausting.


    However, their main priority now was to help Deanna deliver her baby.


    For some reason, Deanna said that her stomach was hurting very badly, but in fact, she was just


    exaggerating her pain.


    The doctor gave her a quick examination and confirmed that she was fine. "We''ll give you an


    epidural. It''ll take a couple of minutes to go into effect, after that you shouldn''t be able to feel any


    pain."


    After the doctor said that, he gave Deanna the injection. After a few minutes, Deanna stopped


    crying as the pain disappeared. The doctors looked at each other and realized that Deanna was


    actually in pain, but they knew she was also exaggerating a little.


    "Miss Lautner, can we talk outside?" The doctor immediately asked Rossie. At this time, Rossie was


    trying to calm Deanna down with soothing words.


    Outside, the doctor took off his mask and said, "I checked her cervix and she was just starting to


    dte. The pain she was feeling must be due to the contractions, but I doubt it hurt that much. The


    injection we gave her wasn''t an epidural, it was just normal fluids."


    Rossie frowned. "What are you trying to say?"


    "If she dtes faster, then she would be able to give birth today, but judging by how much pain she''s


    in, I think she will most likely give birth tomorrow. You have to be mentally prepared because she


    seems to be in a lot of pain even at such an early stage ofbor."


    Rossie heard that Deanna loved to exaggerate and she did not believe it until just now. She looked


    as if she was in a lot of pain when in fact, she wasn''t. The doctor was afraid that something bad


    would happen to her and the baby, so he thought it was best if he gave Rossie a head''s up.


    "I understand. Thank you for putting up with her. I''ll have to inform her parents. Do you have any


    suggestions?


    "It''s good if she could give birth tonight. If she doesn''t, then it''s best to have a cesarean section.


    This is the best solution for both the baby and the mother."


    "If we keep the baby in for too long, the baby might be starved of oxygen which would lead to brain


    damage, while the mother might experience extreme fatigue."

    Rossie nodded, "Alright, I''ll inform her parents. Give me a moment."


    After that, Rossie ran out in search of Hannah.
