Chapter 747: Chapter 750: David Redington, do you want us, a mother and two kids, to get buried with you!?
“Miss Gray, don’t be afraid! It’s normal at thirty six weeks, take deep breaths, don’t be scared… try to relax,”
Annabella was also extremely worried, seeing Lily Gray with tears streaming down her face, biting her lip, her pale face gripped with pain. But in all this, Lily did her utmost to prevent any cries of pain escaping.
Annabella knew that Miss Gray still held resentment from her earlier deceit.
Even though Annabella was tasked by David Redington to take care of Lily Gray, their prolonged cohabitation had already led to Annabella developing deep affection for her.
Seeing Lily suffer so greatly, Annabella could not help but tear up. As tears streamed down her face, Annabella wiped sweat off Lily’s face and guided her, “Breathe with me, try to keep your breath steady.”
Even though Lily was upset about being deceived by Annabella, she still instinctively followed her instructions and regulated her own breathing.
Seeing that Lily was willing to cooperate, the tension on Annabella’s face finally eased a bit.
She gently comforted Lily, “You’ve been doing well recently, your check-ups have all gone smoothly. The doctor also said the twins are very healthy and are of appropriate size. Rest assured, once we arrive at the hospital and you begin to dilate, you’ll be able to give birth soon.”
Having spent several months with her housekeeper, upon hearing Annabella’s comforting words and recalling her recent normal check-ups, Lily’s panic gradually subsided.
David Redington held the heavily pregnant Lily Gray in his arms. Owing to the clandestine nature of his visit, he hadn’t even brought a driver along.
After carefully placing her in the car and instructing Annabella to continue taking care of her, he took the driver’s seat himself and headed towards the private hospital.
Throughout the journey, David Redington’s face remained grim, his eyebrows furrowed and his expression frighteningly cold.
He was deep in self-blame and regret.
Why, oh why, did he choose this moment to quarrel with Lily Gray?
He knew that he must’ve inadvertently said something that upset her.
Perhaps it was the name ‘Aidan Lucas’ or the word ‘Ben Lucas’ that brought back painful memories for her.
David Redington was racked with guilt, his grip on the steering wheel tightening more and more.
The knuckles on his hands were nearly white.
Actually, just like Lily Gray, he too had a burden weighing on his heart.
The premature birth of Ben Lucas wasn’t disconnected from him.
Back then, if he hadn’t carelessly brought the seven-month pregnant Lily Gray to the banquet, she wouldn’t have gone into premature labor due to the shock.
And now, everything felt like a haunting manifestation of a preordained curse.
After everything he endured, all the careful precaution taken, he just wanted the twins, who were expected to have a healthy and painless birth, to be born smoothly.
Yet, here he was again, facing this terrifying, unprepared scenario.
The shadow of dread loomed larger and darker within the depths of his blue eyes.
In his haste, he drove faster and faster.
It was then that the sound of Lily Gray’s voice was suddenly heard from the backseat.
“David Redington, if you want us mother and child to die with you, then by all means, keep stepping on the gas! You’ve already hurt me once; I won’t be surprised if you do it again!”
The sound of Lily’s admonishment was like a beacon in the chaos, instantly bringing him back to his senses.
In that moment, his wildly beating heart and his thoughts, which seemed on the verge of going off track, were abruptly reeled back in.
He was about to lose his calm just a moment ago.
The foot on the gas pedal eased slightly.
Self-blame flashed in his deep blue eyes.
David Redington forcibly pushed down his disregard from earlier and sincerely promised Lily, who was in the backseat, “I’m sorry, I was overthinking. Lily, don’t worry, I will get you to the hospital safely. You and the babies will have a safe delivery.”
Lily Gray sat in the back seat, suppressing her pain, neither rebutting nor replying.
She bit her lip, gazing at the figure of David Redington driving in front of her.
Just now, when he had held her, his face had turned nearly pale.
Her doe-like eyes dimmed at the memory.
