The doctor was speechless.
After Patrick sat down, he held Amelia's right leg without hesitation and asked, "Does it hurt here?"
Amelia nodded gently.
So Patrick began to massage her.
The doctor watched from the side and found that his technique was quite professional. He could not help asking, "Have you learned it before, Mr. Patrick?"
"Hmm," said Patrick without turning his head.
The doctor naturally knew for whom did he learn it.
This was not the first time Amelia had a cramp in her leg. As her belly grew bigger and bigger, this kind of thing happened from time to time. And Patrick learned how to relieve pain for her.
Every time when this happened, Patrick wanted to give Ellison a severe slap on his butt for torturing Amy when he was born!
As he massaged Amelia's leg, he stared at her face to see if she felt any better.
It was not until Amelia's eyebrows completely relaxed and her whole body relaxed that Patrick felt relieved.
After a while, Amelia felt that her legs were no longer hurting, so she said, "Mr. Hopper, I'm fine now, thank you."
Patrick nodded and slowly withdrew his hand. There was no trace of nervousness on his face.
Amelia glanced at the doctor at this time and gestured for him to leave with her eyes. She sighed and said, "Do you really not want to talk to me?"
Patrick didn't reply.
Amelia stared into his eyes. "Then why did you massage my leg?"
Patrick straightened up and wanted to leave, or rather, escape. He was afraid that if she was asked further, he would be softhearted.
Amelia grabbed the corner of his shirt and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect that letting Cicily acknowledge Milton as his sworn father would make you so unhappy. I ignored your feelings and tried to muddle through."
Compared to the little tricks she had just played, she was completely serious this time, and Patrick's mood could not help but improve a little.
He looked down at her and said, "If this happens again in the future..."
"I will definitely discuss it with you in advance!" Amelia said quickly.
Patrick was satisfied. In fact, what annoyed him most was not the fact that Ellish recognized Milton as his sworn father, but the concealment of Amy to him.
He was easily jealous, but if she insisted, he would eventually compromise. So Amy had no need to hide it from him, which would make him angry.
"That's enough." He patted the back of her hand and smiled. "I'm not angry anymore."
Amelia looked at him tenderly, as if confirming whether he was telling the truth or lying.
Moments later...
She carefully asked, "Then, did you agree to let Milton be Cicily's godfather?"
Patrick squinted at her and said, "It's useless if I don't agree. Haven't you two already made a decision on this yourselves?"
Amelia quickly put her palms together. "I was wrong!"
Patrick saw that she finally knew her mistake, which made him regain a little bit of dignity as the head of the family. But soon, his dignity was broken.
At two o'clock in the evening, Amelia suddenly called him "Mr. Hopper"!
He said, "Don't be afraid."
Because Amelia chose to have a natural birth, she was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, and Patrick was stiff like a rock.
But from the doctor's and the nurses' point of view, they all thought that he was particularly calm.
Amelia used to think that the women shouting while producing children in the TV series was deceiving, but now she knew that it was really painful after experiencing it!
The doctor encouraged, "Mrs. Hopper, come, take a breath-yes, harder!"
At the same time—
Outside the delivery room, people from the Hopper and Ramsay families had gathered. Their dreams were disturbed in the middle of the night, but they did not feel tired at all. Instead, they were all in high spirits.
George placed his hands behind his back. While pacing back and forth, he glanced at the ward. He was truly worried.
At this moment, Granny Hopper asked, "How long has it been since Amelia went in?" A group of people counted the time and found that it had been an hour and a half since they arrived at the hospital.
Nora told Granny Hopper the time, causing the old woman to sigh in worry. "It's been so long?"
Nora quickly comforted her, "Grandma, delivery is always like this. Some pain is shorter, some pain is longer. Amelia has been examined by doctors every day. She'll definitely be fine!"
"More than ten hours, no, it's too long! I'm afraid that Amelia will not be able to stand it, so let's change it to a C-section!"
Granny Hopper had experienced a lot and knew how much it hurt to give birth to a child. She felt sorry for her granddaughter-in-law, so she said so.
Howard did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom, it's only been an hour or so. Let's wait and see."
When they were talking, Alice was sitting next to them. At this time, she also consoled them, "Yes, Patrick is inside. If it doesn't work out, he will discuss it with the doctor."
