Chapter 722

Without sparing a glance at the baby, Natalie brushed past the nurse and rushed into the delivery room.

Laney lay on the operating table, her face ghostly white and her sweat-soaked hair clinging to her forehead. Natalie’s heart ached at the sight of her dear friend, so worn and fragile.

“Natalie, have you seen our baby? Isn’t she adorable?” Laney tried to sit up, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

“Stay still!” Natalie scolded gently. “You need to rest. You’re a mother now, and your little girl is absolutely perfect.” Hearing her baby was healthy, Laney sighed with relief.
