“What?” Dexter was taken aback.

Grape was born prematurely. At that time, the heavily pregnant Josie was running an exhibition in a remote village in Sumanthova. While she was halfway through explaining her design works, she suddenly felt waves of pain in her abdomen. Then, cries of alarm echoed around her. “Alice! Your water broke!”

What followed next was a chaotic rush to the hospital.

The nearest hospital was a small one, and the delivery process did not go smoothly. Josie had never experienced anything like that before, so she was both scared and extremely anxious.

After a grueling three hours of labor, the baby had shifted position, making the delivery difficult. The doctor, lacking in expertise, was even more fearful of taking responsibility upon learning that she was a renowned designer. He spent a long time discussing with her whether to proceed with a cesarean section but was hesitant to make a decision.

Josie was in so much pain that she passed out, her mind filled with the single thought that nothing must happen to her child.

For the sake of mother and child, they proceeded with the surgery. However, halfway through the operation, Josie began to bleed profusely. The hospital’s blood bank was insufficient, triggering a wave of chaos and panic.

Tears streamed down Josie’s face incessantly. For the first time, she experienced what it meant to be in utter despair. She pleaded with the doctor relentlessly to save her child.

The image of Dexter once again surfaced in her mind. If she were to die, she could at least entrust the child to him, sparing the child from suffering.
