But before Natalie could explain, Estella hugged her tightly and cursed, “That ugly bastard! How dare he hurt you?!” “Don’t worry, it’s a small wound. It doesn’t even hurt anymore.” Natalie smiled to reassure her.
“Really?” Once Estella was sure that Natalie wasn’t in pain, she let out a sigh of relief and said, “But where is Brandon? The receptionist told me that they called him. Wasn’t he there?”
Natalie coughed and pointed to Brandon, who was awkwardly standing behind Estella. “He’s the guy you pushed just now.”
Estella stiffly turned her head. She looked back and saw a man stood against the light who wore a suit and leather shoes. He looked strikingly handsome even though he had mature features.
He was… Brandon Larson?!
Estella racked her brain as she tried to find a fancy word to describe Brandon. Finally, she gave up and couldn’t find the right word to describe him. The only word that came to her head was “breathtaking”.
“Hello, Mr. Larson.” Estella’s eyes widened and her mouth fell agape.
Compared to Brandon, who was calm and indifferent, she was giddy with excitement. She then turned around and gave Natalie a thumbs-up. “Well, with a handsome man like Brandon, I’m sure my next novel will be a huge success! I mean, he looks like a model!”
“A novel?” Brandon tilted his head in confusion. He then looked at Natalie and asked, “Can you explain to me what’s going on?”
It was then that Natalie remembered. She promised Estella an interview but had forgotten the most important thing: to ask Brandon if he could play the role!
She hurriedly walked towards Brandon with a big smile on her face. Just as she was about to explain to him what was going on, a piercing cry rang out in the hall…
“This woman is in labor!”
“Oh my God! She’s lost a lot of blood. Has the ambulance not arrived yet?”
“What’s going on?”
Everyone standing around looked over at the woman who was screaming.
Thinking about Lydia’s situation and what Jethro had just said, Natalie was worried her life might be in danger now.
Natalie’s full attention was on the pregnant woman, so she didn’t have time to explain the matter of the novel to Brandon.
“Didn’t you call an ambulance a while ago? Why isn’t it here yet?” Natalie ran over to Jethro’s wife. She had lost a considerable amount of blood, and was now in a critical condition.
“It’s pouring with rain outside. There was a serious accident at the intersection in front of the Larson Group building. Sean texted saying the ambulance was stuck and couldn’t get over here.” Brandon spoke in a low voice.
Wide eyed, Natalie exclaimed, “We can’t just stand by and watch this woman in obstructed labor.”
Just then, the revolving door to the hall spun around, and three people walked in.
They were led by Sean, who was soaking w*et but smiling. “The doctors are here! Please move aside.”
Two doctors followed closely behind. They wore white clothing, and carried boxes of medical supplies.
Squatting in front of the sofa where the pregnant woman lay, one of the doctors examined her condition. The other was ushering everyone to leave the area.
“She needs fresh air and would be more comfortable with some more space.”
After the initial examination was complete, the doctor took a deep breath. “She is in a serious condition. There’s no time to wait for the ambulance. She has to have the baby right here. Who is the father?”
Everyone was silent, until Natalie spoke up.
“Her husband isn’t here. Is there anything we can do?”
The doctor looked nervous. “What if something goes wrong? Her husband is so irresponsible! Call him and tell him to come here right now.”
Natalie was unsure how to explain the situation. “You see, her husband is a criminal and in a very bad mental state. We can’t let him out. Can’t you just deliver the baby now?” The doctor was silent for a moment as he considered this. The woman’s life was in danger, so he didn’t have much choice. “Is there an empty meeting room available here? I need a clean room where I can deliver the baby.” Everyone turned to Brandon. Jethro had just threatened the Larson Group. It would be understandable if Brandon didn’t want to help.
It was all up to him.
“Obviously the most important thing is saving her!” Without hesitation, Brandon removed his suit jacket and draped it over the pregnant woman.
He glanced at Sean. “Go and arrange a VIP room for the doctor. Ask all the available medical staff we have to help.”
Hearing Brandon’s orders, everyone was relieved, and began rushing around to help.
Natalie and Estella went off to get some clean towels.
“I didn’t expect Brandon to be so… compassionate.” Seeing the angry look Natalie gave in response to this, Estella quickly explained, “I’ve heard from others that he is cold and selfish. But he’s not like that at all. I guess my view of him was too one-sided.”
Natalie, on the other hand, was not surprised to see Brandon act this way. “Other people say that because they don’t know my husband very well. I’ve never doubted his kindness and compassion.”
“What are you two talking about?”
Brandon’s cold voice interrupted Natalie and Estella’s conversation.
