He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 444

"... What?"

"My water just broke!" Kate repeated desperately. "Do something, quick!"

Henry gasped. He crouched to check and saw the water trickling down from inside Kate’s skirt.

He quickly swept Kate’s feet and carried her in his arms.

He kicked the mini theater door open and looked around. He didn’t find Chloe and Vernon anywhere, so he simply rushed to the main entrance because he couldn’t wait anymore.

As he entered the living room, he saw Chloe and Vernon watching TV.

"Vernon! Chloe!" Henry’s voice shifted their attention towards them instantly, and Chloe gasped when she saw the dampness on Kate’s skirt and how Kate was writhing in pain.

"Oh god, Oh god! Let me call the ambulance!" Chloe panicked. She tried to find her phone, but Vernon quickly replied, "This place is too far to call and wait for an ambulance. There’s a small hospital around the area. Let’s just go there. I’ll tell my men to escort you."

"Okay, let’s go!" Henry said. He was panicking when he saw Kate trying to endure the pain.

Chloe was about to follow them, but Vernon said, "Stay in here, Chloe! You need to watch for the kids!"

Of course, Chloe wanted to be there to support Kate. This was Kate’s first labor, and it was usually the most painful. But she realized Valerie might cry in the middle of the night, so she nodded, "I’ll be right here! Be careful, and tell me once you’re there!"

Vernon led the way as he called everyone around the mansion to start preparing all the cars and drove out of the mansion.

Henry and Kate sat in the backseat while Vernon sat next to the driver. Vernon looked at the backseat to check and saw Kate clenching Henry’s arm tightly.

Her expression twisted as she endured the extreme pain, and she gnashed her teeth continuously.

"Urgh! Henry, it hurts!"

Henry tried to calm her down. He allowed Kate to claw his arm until it bled. He didn’t care, but that hurt less compared to the pain that she was experiencing right now.

"We will be there soon. Take a deep breath, in and out..." Henry continued to act calm, knowing that panicking would only worsen things.

He raised his head to look at Vernon, silently telling him to get faster.

Vernon nodded and told the driver to start going faster.

The cars drove through the empty roads leading to a hospital near the gated community. Once they arrived, Kate was quickly put on a stretcher and was pushed by plenty of nurses to enter the delivery room.

Henry followed them, but once they entered the delivery room, the doctor told him to go, "You can sit outside, Sir. The labor will take a while."

"No, I will be with her! My wife needs me!"

"But—"

"Henry! Argh! Henry, please hold me!" Kate yelled desperately as she was scared to be left alone.

The doctor saw the woman kept calling on her husband, so he had to allow Henry to stay. Of course, he didn’t forget to warn him, "Remember not to faint. We don’t have enough people to take care of you if you pass out seeing uncomfortable things."

"I won’t faint! I’m here for her!" Henry insisted.

"Alright then," a nurse helped the doctor to put on his gloves, "I’ll prepare everything."

Vernon was sitting outside of the delivery room. He texted his wife, telling her that everything would be alright because Kate was a strong lady.

He clenched his phone, thinking of what Chloe went through when she was pregnant with Mackenzie. Vernon’s blood ran cold when he saw Kate writhing in pain.

’Chloe must’ve experienced the same, and I wasn’t there for her...’ Vernon thought. He seldom envied Henry, but this time, he envied him because Henry could be there to support his woman’s first pregnancy.

Vernon sat in silence for a while until two people rushed to him. He lifted his head and saw Mai and Michael. They looked panicked, so he smiled and said, "Calm down, Kate is inside with Henry. It’ll take a while, though."

"C—Can I come in? I want to be there to support her!"

"No, you shouldn’t," Vernon said. "It’s crowded inside. Besides, all Kate needs is Henry’s support for now."

"Yeah, we should stay here and pray everything goes well," Michael added.

Mai was reluctant, but she knew they were right, so she sat silently, fiddling with her fingers, hoping that Kate would have a safe delivery.

Michael glanced at Vernon and said, "Sir, I think you should go home for now. I’ll protect Katherine in case those people plan to attack her at her weakest."

Vernon nodded, "I will let my bodyguards stay around the hospital just to ensure that everything is secured. I don’t want a similar accident that happened to my daughter."

"Thank you, Sir."

Vernon got up and left, knowing Henry and Kate were well protected.

Michael and Mai sat on the long bench, staring at the wall in a daze until Mai asked, "Do you think Kate will be okay?"

"She is a strong woman. She will be just fine."

"But she went through a lot of stress because of Henry. What if she—"Mai didn’t dare to continue her words, afraid that she might put a curse on her sister. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Michael touched Mai’s hand gently, "You should put more trust in her. If Henry is allowed inside, she wants him to be there."

"Mm, you’re right..." Mai nodded.

Meanwhile, Sarah almost dropped her phone when she heard the information from her mole inside the hospital.

She knew that Kate would go to that smaller hospital to give birth because it was closest to Vernon’s mansion, so she put a mole there just in case.

—

"How long has it been since she entered the delivery room?" Sarah asked.

"About an hour ago, Miss," the mole replied. "It seems to be a difficult labor since her scream is so loud and sounds painful."

"Good, I need her to be very weak and vulnerable," Sarah approved. "And how many bodyguards are there to protect her?"
