A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 165

In the Delivery Room.

"Who is the relative of this woman? Please come in to give her some support," said the doctor.

Emily let go of Jacob's hands and rushed forward to the doctor. "I'm her best friend. I'll go," said Emily.

"No," Jacob disagreed sullenly. However, Emily cared only about Rita at this moment, so despite his disapproval, she walked straight into the delivery room and shut the door.

Inside, Rita was lying on the bed and had already been woken up due to her labour pains. She had cold sweats all over, and her face had turned pale as a ghost.

"Rita…" said Emily, anxiously. Emily never had any experience with child birth, so she had no idea what to do. However, she calmed herself down and knelt down beside Rita's bed. Emily held Rita's hands tightly and encouraged her,"Come on. You can do it!"

Rita opened her eyes slowly, as she heard Emily's voice. "Emily. Ow!" she cried.

Rita cried so loud that it made Emily's heart tremble. However, in order not to make Rita feel frightened, Emily didn't show any signs of panic, instead she said,"Come on. Rita. You can do this!"

Rita bit her lips as hard as she could, as the pain was becoming overwhelmingly hard to endure. "Emily. Don't leave me alone here," Rita implored.

"It's all right, Rita. I'm here. Don't be afraid," assured Emily.

Another sharp pain swept through Rita's body. She howled again,"Ow!"

Rita's screaming reminded Emily of how Rose looked when she was lying on the bed just hours ago. They both suffered from great pain, except Rita was suffering from the pain of labour, while Rose, from the pain of induced labour.

By now, Rita's lips were starting to bleed because of how hard she bit them. Emily was so frightened, that she rolled up her sleeve and put her arm in front of Rita's mouth. "Rita, bite me when you feel the pain. Don't bite yourself," she said.

Rita was barely conscious, so she opened her mouth and bit as hard as she could.

Immediately, Emily groaned, but she still held tight to Rita's hand with one hand and forced the other hand over Rita's mouth to keep Rita from screaming.

Jacob stayed outside with a look of sullen resentment. He knew nothing about what was happening inside the room. He could only hear Rita's cries repeatedly.

'Where is the father of the baby? He forgot his duties to this pregnant woman, and left her for me to drive her to the hospital. Now my girl has to accompany her during the labour! Is the father of this baby dead?' Jacob thought.

Jacob took out his phone from his pocket and called David, but failed to reach him. He called David several times, but David didn't answer his calls. Agitated, Jacob was so angry at David that he wanted to smash his own phone. In the end, all he could do was just sit outside, and wait patiently.

"Wahh…" Finally, the sound of a baby crying resonated from the delivery room.

Barely able to keep her senses, Rita was so tired that she couldn't even lift her finger. A few minutes after the baby was born, Rita fell into a partial comatose state. Emily watched with wonder as the doctor pull out Rita's baby. For some reason, she still couldn't shake the image of Rose's unborn infant from her mind. In just one day, Emily had witnessed both the end and the start of a new life.

The baby was soon wiped clean. Apart from the doctor and the nurses, Emily was the first one to see Rita's newborn baby.

"Rita. You are so brave! Look at your kid!" she said. Emily didn't expect to feel so touched at that moment, but she couldn't stop the tears from trickling down her face.

Emily's words had awakened Rita. Exhausted, Rita tried to open her heavy eye-lids and asked,"Is it a boy or a girl?"

"It's a boy. He's so cute!" Emily held Rita's baby to her face and said excitedly.

Rita took a glance at her baby and looked away with resentment. "He's so ugly!" Rita complained.

Emily didn't know what to say. 'No one should say something like that about their own child!' Emily thought.
