Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1450

It was then she felt a warm rush surge, and there was a sensation... like she was wetting herself!

"Ah!" Lina screamed in fright. "Mom! Mom!"

Cordelia and Linda quickly turned around. "What is it?"

Lina pointed downward.

Linda lifted the blanket and saw that a puddle of water had formed beneath her.

"Your water broke!" Linda pressed the call button.

Doctors and nurses rushed in, examined Lina, and then wheeled her into the delivery room.

For the next while, every minute and second felt like agony for Zuko. He tried several times to peek through the delivery room door to see what was happening inside, but he could not see anything. The delivery room door had strong soundproofing, so he could not hear any sounds from inside. But he knew Lina must be in pain!

He sat on a chair, clutching his hands together and his eyes reddening. He wished he could bear the pain for her.

"Don't worry," Cordelia comforted. "I heard they have epidurals for childbirth nowadays. I've already arranged for the doctor to administer it. The obstetricians inside are friends of Zennie and very experienced. Pammy and the baby will be fine."

"But it's been so long!" Zuko was restless as he grabbed his hair.

Cordelia chuckled. "First pregnancies are usually slow. Wait until you have more children. They'll be born faster, one after the other!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the automatic door of the delivery room opened.

Zuko took a quick step forward. "How's my wife?"

A few nurses nearby paused before they chuckled. Men outside the delivery room would typically ask about the baby upon seeing the doctor. It was rare for someone to inquire about his wife first.

The doctor congratulated him with a smile. "Mr. Hamerton, don't worry. Everything is fine. Your wife has given birth to a beautiful baby girl. Both mother and daughter are safe!"

Lina lay weakly on the bed. Despite the pain relief, her incision still felt like it was burning, and she did not dare to move.

The little baby next to her was sleeping peacefully. She smiled and wanted to touch her but was stopped by a gentle hand.

"Honey..." Zuko's voice choked. "You've been through so much."

Lina smiled and looked at him. His hair was a bit disheveled, his eyes were red, and he did not look as spirited as usual. He even seemed a bit beat up.

It was a stark contrast to the usually poised young count he was.

She asked softly, "Honey, why did I having a baby make you look like this?"

They both laughed after that. Lina did not dare to laugh too hard due to the incision. Zuko wanted to take a look, but she stopped him, knowing the scar must look awful.

She had faced complications during the natural birth process. Her amniotic fluid had almost drained, and there was the risk of the baby's umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. The doctors had to make a quick decision and perform a C-section.

Zuko felt deeply apologetic. He would have insisted on a C-section from the beginning if he had known earlier, sparing her the ordeal.

"Silly." Lina caressed his face. "All sorts of unexpected things can happen during childbirth. You can't predict them in advance. I'm content as long as the baby's safe." "Honey..."

Lina hesitated momentarily and asked, "By the way, is there still no news from Lenny?"
