Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 849: Chapter 849: Premature Birth

Suddenly belittled, Sterling Norwood "..."

He slightly gritted his teeth, "No need to find grandpa, I’ll figure it out."

Listening to Sterling Norwood’s firm tone, Selena Kensington raised her eyebrows slightly.

With a smile in her eyes, she agreed, "Okay, then I’ll leave the child’s name to you."

*

Even though Sterling Norwood and the people at the main house took great care of Selena Kensington.

But one week later, in the dead of night, Selena Kensington went into premature labor.

Selena Kensington felt her water break in her sleep, and suddenly woke up.

Afterwards, the people at the main house hurriedly sent her to Veridia Hospital.

Along the way, Selena Kensington slightly bit her lower lip, leaning against Sterling Norwood, breathing lightly.

She felt the two little ones inside her had a feeling of imminent descent, but now was not the time, so she could only hold on.

Sterling Norwood didn’t look much better than Selena Kensington.

His eyes were dark and gloomy, with faint streaks of blood in his pupils.

But in front of Selena Kensington, he still endured, his voice softened to the extreme, constantly comforting her.

"... It’s almost there, everything will be fine."

"Don’t fall asleep, just hold on a little longer..."

Selena Kensington’s hand gripped Sterling Norwood’s arm tightly, her eyes originally somewhat hazy.

Upon hearing Sterling Norwood’s words, her eyes cleared slightly.

She hoarsely said, "No matter what happens, don’t touch the children."

"..."

For once, Sterling Norwood didn’t immediately respond to her.

He pressed his lips together, his eyes deep and obscure.

After waiting a while and not hearing his response, Selena Kensington slightly straightened and glared at him, "Did you hear me?!"

But because she was still weak, the glare didn’t carry much threat.

Sterling Norwood’s voice was steady, "Sorry, I can’t agree to that."

For the first time, Sterling Norwood formally rejected Selena Kensington’s request.

Because he couldn’t imagine having to make that choice.

How could he tolerate losing his wife?

Selena Kensington’s voice rose slightly, "You..."

But she had only just started when she lost the courage to continue.

She understood Sterling Norwood’s feelings, and knew if he had to choose, it would be worse than killing him.

Selena Kensington didn’t want this either. The signs of premature labor came too suddenly, leaving both of them unprepared.

Moreover, Selena Kensington had a vague feeling that the third reaction would occur during this premature labor...

A woman is most vulnerable during childbirth, and Selena Kensington didn’t know whether she could get through this.

The two remained silent as they arrived at Veridia Hospital.

Once at the hospital, Selena Kensington was taken to the delivery room.

Sterling Norwood stood outside the delivery room, his aura cold, making the nearby nurse and doctors hesitant to approach.

Shortly after Selena Kensington was taken inside, Sean Norwood and Dr. Norwood hurried to the hospital.

"Family Head!"

Before they even reached the delivery room door, they called out.

Sterling Norwood immediately turned his head and asked, "Did you notify Annelise Mayfield?!"

Because Lark Mayfield had returned to Westport, but Annelise Mayfield had remained in Aethelgard.

Before leaving, Lark had taught Annelise the ability to induce, just in case.

Annelise Mayfield was undoubtedly the most gifted of her generation in the Mayfield Family, even though she’d previously wasted a lot of cultivation time due to playfulness.

But her understanding was high, and she knew if she mastered induction, it would greatly help Selena Kensington.

So, during this time, she had focused intently on her cultivation.

Now Annelise Mayfield’s abilities had leaped significantly compared to before.

Therefore, as soon as Sterling Norwood detected signs of premature birth, after notifying Dr. Norwood and Sean, in case Selena Kensington reacted during delivery, Sterling had Dr. Norwood also inform Annelise.

Dr. Norwood’s face was serious, nodding at Sterling’s words, "The little miss is already on her way."

Hearing Dr. Norwood’s words, Sterling Norwood’s expression eased slightly.

After Dr. Norwood finished speaking, the door to the delivery room opened.

The doctor responsible for this delivery walked out.

As she exited, she instructed the nearby nurse, "Quick, get ready, the madame is about to deliver."

"Yes."

The nearby nurse hurried off without delay.

After speaking, the delivery doctor looked towards Sterling Norwood.

Seeing the deep, cold gaze of Sterling Norwood, as if it contained endless cold intent, especially when his oppressive aura surged towards her, the delivery doctor had to speak under pressure, "Family Head, the madame can only deliver prematurely now. But her condition is still relatively good, she’s cooperating well with us, please be at ease."

Upon hearing that Selena Kensington’s condition was still relatively good, Sterling Norwood’s heart, which had been hanging high, slightly eased.

But he still did not dare to let his guard down.

Sterling Norwood looked towards Dr. Norwood, "Stay with them when you go in."

After all, Dr. Norwood was most familiar with the Norwood Family’s direct line; certain matters required his presence.

Dr. Norwood understood the reasoning, promptly nodding, "Yes."

Once everything was ready, the lights inside the delivery room turned on again.

Sterling Norwood couldn’t do anything but wait outside.

Later, the old Norwood master, Hugh Kensington, and others arrived as well.

As they arrived, Sterling Norwood barely had time to greet them when suddenly they heard Selena Kensington’s painful cries from the delivery room.

"Ah!..."

Sterling Norwood’s eyes sharpened, and in an instant, he appeared at the delivery room door.

But his reason remained, so he could only tightly restrain his impulse to rush inside.

His gaze was locked onto the door ahead, eyes filled with traces of blood.

He was struggling to suppress the raging emotions arising within him.

Watching Sterling Norwood’s demeanor, the old master beside him felt a secret shock.

But he, too, had weathered great storms.

Moreover, with Selena Kensington still in labor within, he needed to steady Sterling Norwood.

Thus, the old master spoke up, "Sterling, calm down. Now isn’t the time for you to lose your cool."

"Selie is suffering inside, don’t cause trouble outside first. How could I face Selie later?"

At the old master’s words, Sterling Norwood’s lips pressed tightly together.

But his grip on the door handle relaxed.

His eyes gradually regained a hint of clarity.

Yet he could still hear Selena Kensington’s intermittent cries.

The sound rose and fell, but none were free from pain.

Listening to those cries felt like they were tearing at his heart.

For the first time, Sterling Norwood cursed the excellent hearing his bloodline granted him.
