The mood shifted from sadness to joy in an instant. Mrs. Sox, who had been trembling just moments ago, regained her composure and no longer needed her son’s support. She stepped forward to ask the nurse, “The baby is premature. Does he need to stay in an incubator?”
The nurse reassured her, “He’ll be placed in the incubator for observation. If everything checks out, he’ll be back with his mother soon. The baby weighs over six pounds, and at thirty-five weeks, he’s not too premature. If he had gone full-term, he could have weighed seven or eight pounds.”
Julian helped prop Josh up against a chair before turning his attention back to the newborn. Both the Bucham and Sox families felt relieved and overjoyed. Jasmine’s sudden labor had caused everyone a scare, but now both mother and baby were safe.
No one bothered to wake Josh; they allowed him to remain unconscious, slumped in his chair.
By the time Serenity returned from her prenatal checkup, Jasmine had already been moved to a high-end VIP ward.
“Jasmine!”
Seeing her friend and the baby safe, Serenity finally felt at ease. She had been so worried that even during her checkup, the doctor mistook her pale face for a sign of illness.
“Serenity, why are you here? You’re still pregnant!” Jasmine exclaimed. Before coming to the hospital, she had asked her in-laws not to inform Serenity right away, not wanting her friend to worry and risk early labor herself.
Serenity was over seven months pregnant—Jasmine’s baby had arrived at thirty-five weeks, while Serenity’s wasn’t even thirty weeks yet. A premature birth for her would be far riskier.
“I had a prenatal checkup scheduled for this morning, and Zachary came with me. On the way, we saw Josh running out of the office. Zachary asked him what
He was wrong when he told us you were in premature labor. I was so frightened that I rushed over. When we arrived, you had just entered the delivery room. Since they mentioned you wouldn’t give birth immediately, I went for my checkup first.” Serenity sat by Jasmine’s bedside, smiling. “Jasmine, congratulations!” Jasmine returned the smile. “Thank you.” “How long will the baby be in the incubator?” Serenity asked with concern. Thirty-five weeks is still considered premature, and there are always risks. “The doctor said he’s very healthy, and all his indicators are normal. He should only need an hour or two in the incubator.” “That’s great.” Serenity finally relaxed. Her gaze shifted to the man lying on the bed next to Jasmine. Jasmine followed her eyes and chuckled. “Josh actually fainted. Right after I gave birth, he passed out from shock. I was terrified.” Serenity smiled knowingly. “He was too nervous. His anxiety had been stretched so tight that once he knew you were safe, he couldn’t handle it anymore. He loves you that much.” Honestly, Jasmine seemed to be in better shape than Josh. Just then, Josh slowly regained consciousness. His eyes fluttered open, and he stared at the white ceiling in confusion. It took a moment for his senses to return. Suddenly, he bolted upright. “Careful! Don’t fall!” Jasmine warned. Josh ignored everything else. “Wife! Wife! Are you okay?” He was about to rush toward her when Zachary quickly stepped in, blocking Serenity to prevent her from getting bumped in the chaos.
