The Abandoned Husband Dominates

1350 Protect the Mother and Sacrifice the Child?

In the capital, a certain hospital was not open to the public.

This hospital was built by Jordan. It was not far from their house. The Steeles and the Howards usually went to this hospital because the doctors here were all high-level doctors from the Steeles.

Of course, they were not the best, because the highest level doctors were doing research in another place.

At this moment, Lauren had just been rushed to the hospital lobby.

Helen, who had just been brought in and was smoking a new electronic cigarette while chatting with the other doctors, panicked.

“Mrs. Steele?”

In the past, when Lauren came here to check on her health, she would always meet Helen and chat with her.

Helen quickly put the cigarette in her pocket and walked over. “Aren’t you due the day after tomorrow? Why are you here today?”

Lauren’s mother, Marissa, accompanied her and said nervously, “Lauren suddenly felt a lot of pain just now. I’m afraid she’s going to give birth!”

Helen tensed, too. “Any major bleeding?”

Helen examined it and said, “Fortunately, there’s no bleeding. Joe, prepare Mrs. Steele for natural labor immediately.”

“Yes!”

The medical staff placed Lauren on the stretcher and laid her down. She didn’t look too good.

At this moment, Lauren’s father, Stefan, and Lauren’s grandfather, Martin, rushed over.

“Lauren, how are you?”

Stefan and Martin were very concerned about Lauren’s situation. Lauren lay flat on the stretcher and kept calling Jordan’s name.

“Jordan… Jordan…”

Stefan asked softly, “Isn’t Jordan in the capital?”

Marissa pitied her daughter and was very angry. “Jordan, this child. His wife is about to give birth, but he’s not back yet. I’ll call him!”

Punching in a few numbers, Marissa called Jordan’s number, but no one answered. She had Salvatore’s phone number, so she called him again.

“Hello, Mrs. Howard, what’s the matter?”

Marissa asked, “Salvatore, where’s Jordan? My daughter is about to give birth. Why isn’t he back yet? Lauren keeps calling Jordan’s name. How can she give birth in peace like this?!”

Salvatore said, “Mrs. Howard, it’s not that Mr. Jordan doesn’t want to go back. You don’t know how many things he’s done to be able to see Lauren give birth. He just escaped death. He really can’t go back for a while!”

Marissa was shocked. “Escaped death? Where is he now? Why is he still…”

Marissa was about to clarify when Stefan snatched the phone away and turned it off.

Stefan said, “What’s wrong with you? Lauren is about to enter the operating theater. You’re saying this in front of her!”

“Jordan… Jordan…”

Perhaps because she heard Marissa’s words, Lauren kept calling Jordan’s name even more. Her eyes slowly welled up with tears.

Stefan immediately went forward to comfort her. “Don’t worry, my precious daughter. Jordan is fine. You’ll be fine too. Don’t worry, it’s just like giving birth to Chloe. You’ll be fine in a while. We’ll wait for you outside. Be good.”

Soon, two doctors walked over and said, “I’m sorry, we have to push Mrs. Steele into the operating theater immediately.”

The two medical staff began to push Lauren’s stretcher. However, just as they were about to push her away, she suddenly reached out to her parents.

Lauren’s parents hurriedly went forward. “What’s wrong, child?”

Soon, two doctors walked over and said, “I’m sorry, we have to push Mrs. Steele into the operating theater immediately.”

Stefan quickly said solemnly, “Silly child, why are you saying such disheartening words? The Steeles’ medical skills are decades ahead of the world. You’re just giving birth to a child. Our doctors in the capital can make you give birth in peace. Don’t tell me you don’t believe in the Steeles’ capabilities?”

Lauren naturally knew her husband’s family’s medical skills, but she still looked very sad. “I don’t know either. I keep feeling that this time, I will bid farewell to the world…”

Stefan said, “I’ll get the doctor to give you anesthesia. You’ll be fine after sleeping. Don’t think too much.”

Stefan asked the medical staff to push her in, but he grabbed a doctor. “Doctor…”

The doctor said, “Mrs. Steele isn’t in a good state, and her emotions are unstable. I’ll give her medicine.”

Stefan said, “No, I didn’t mean to say that. I saw that my daughter’s condition was very bad. She kept holding her head just now. I’ve never seen a pregnant woman having a headache when giving birth. I’m afraid that something might really happen later. I want to see the doctor. If anything really happens later, please save our daughter!”

Only then did the doctor understand what Stefan meant. “You want me to protect the mother in case of an emergency?”

Stefan nodded.

Marissa also said, “Of course we have to protect the mother. She can always have more children. It’s fine even if she doesn’t want them. Jordan and Lauren already have one child. He also has a son and a daughter with Hailey. Moreover, Jordan has always loved our daughter. You know that.”

The doctor was caught in a difficult position. “Mr. and Mrs. Howard, we’re from the Steeles after all. It’s very difficult for us to give up the flesh and blood of the Steeles.”

Marissa said, “But the problem is that Jordan has just escaped death. He can’t come over. If he can come over, he will have the same intention!”

The doctor thought for a moment and said, “How about this? Get Dragon or Salvatore to call me. If either of them can express this to me, I’ll do it.”

Marissa quickly took out her phone. “I’ll call Salvatore now!”

“Wait a minute.”

Stefan stopped Marissa. “Call Dragon.”

Stefan personally called the Dragon.

At this moment, the Dragon was shocked by Jordan’s palm strike that counterattacked Jiumo Kasyapa.

“Mr. Howard?”

Seeing that it was a call from Stefan, the Dragon quickly picked up the call.

Stefan asked, “Mr. Dragon, is Jordan alright?”

The Dragon said, “Things just got better. It seems that Master has long seen through the enemy’s intention to frame him and has already counterattacked. He should be fine. How’s Lauren?”

Stefan said, “I just want to talk to Mr. Dragon about this. Lauren is not in a good state, and might be in a critical situation later. The doctor said that he needs Mr. Dragon to tell him personally that in a critical situation, whether he should save the mother.”

The Dragon was shocked. “Protect the mother and give up the child? Is it that serious?”

Stefan said, “It’s hard to say now. We’re just planning ahead. Mr. Dragon, you know that Jordan has always loved Lauren. If it were him, he would definitely make the same choice. I know he’s unable to make this decision. Later, if it really comes to that, can you make this decision for him?”
