Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

“Th–the baby has gone back in!” The doctor wiped the sweat off his forehead with his elbow.1

“F*ck! Get that baby out of me!!!!” Jeslyn screamed in agony.

Maverick was looking in panic between his wife and the doctor who seemed to be shaking for whatever reason. Angered, he moved to the man at great speed and grabbed him by his coat.

“If anything happens to my wife, you’ll be sorry!” He threatened through gritted teeth. How the f*ck will a doctor be unsettled when life is slowly draining from his wife?!

Glancing at his wife one more time, she couldn’t scream anymore and was grabbing tightly onto the sheets with one hand while twisting her body.

“Damn, that baby! Perform CS, right now!!”

“No CS! Get the f*ck out of my way!” Matt shoved the doctor out of the

way.

“Matteo? You can’t do this,” Maverick tried to stop him.

“It’s been more than 30 hours, Lu Ren. At this rate, your wife might die even with CS.” Matt said while wearing gloves.

Maverick grabbed his shoulders and shook him. “And you? You aren’t healed. Your past will come haunting you again! Don’t you get it? I don’t want to lose you, nor my wife, Matteo!”

“It is time I face my fears like you’ve said… go, go give her emotional support. Talk to your baby and tell her it’s time to stop playing.” He took Maverick’s hands off his shoulders and strode to the doctor.

Maverick took a deep breath and decided to trust in his friend. He went down on his knees and started whispering sweet nothings into Jeslyn’s ear. While holding her hand with one hand, his other hand was on her stomach, caressing it.

Matt waited for her to gain more strength before getting to work.

With every push, pictures flashed through his mind, but the matter at hand was way bigger than his trauma. Matt kept on reminding himself that the woman and her baby were his best friend’s family. He continued to remind himself that a little mistake would kill them and his best friend will not be

able to bear it.
