Chapter 977 - 942: Delivery (Part 1)
"I’m not the one at a disadvantage, it’s George."
"In these matters, girls are always at a disadvantage. You must never touch."
Isn’t this something mothers should discuss with daughters during adolescence? Why is his daughter only five years old, and he, as the father, has to discuss this topic with her?
"Why?"
"Don’t ask me why?"
George said, "I’m not at a disadvantage!"
Adrian looked at George and shouted, "Shut up! Get out! You’re not allowed to come to my house anymore."
"Father-in-law..."
"Don’t call me father-in-law!" the father and daughter said in unison.
"I’m going to tell my parents that you touched my little bird, and you’re not letting me stay at the Johnson Family." George turned to leave, but Adrian stopped him.
"George, no one else can know about this, understand?" Adrian warned.
"Why?"
"Because if you tell, people will laugh at Curly."
"Why laugh at Curly?"
There were many things he couldn’t explain to two five-year-olds. Adrian said, overwhelmed, "Stop asking me so many whys. You’ll understand when you grow up."
From now on, you’re not allowed to touch areas covered by clothes.
George, if you don’t behave, you’ll never see Curly again; Curly, if you don’t behave, I’ll confiscate your two boxes of diamonds."
Curly immediately shook her head, "No more touching, no more touching. Honestly, the touch wasn’t pleasant at all!"
Adrian: ...

Matilda Private Hospital in Sileria City,
Sienna Johnson came here for a prenatal check-up accompanied by Adrian Desmond. Having decided to give birth at this hospital, Sienna Johnson had been coming here for all her prenatal appointments.
Matilda Hospital is a Sino-German joint venture private hospital, with luxurious birth facilities comparable to a five-star hotel. The meals prepared for pregnant women are cooked by chefs from five-star hotels. Additionally, the hospital offers tailor-made private medical and nursing services customized according to the different physiques of pregnant women.
Naturally, the cost was eye-watering.
Adrian knew Sienna had given birth in a small village before, and he couldn’t bear it. For the second child, Adrian insisted that Sienna go to the best hospital to give birth.
If Sienna were willing to leave Sileria City, Adrian would have made her give birth abroad like some big stars.
In the end, the family discussed it and chose Matilda Hospital in Sileria City.
"Tired?"
Adrian helped her onto the elevator for the check-up. Sienna Johnson’s belly was so big that walking even a few steps left her short of breath.
"Not tired, just feeling uncomfortable in the stomach."
With a big belly compressing her organs, Sienna Johnson had recently been having a poor appetite. Fortunately, the fetus had developed well late into the pregnancy. Eating too much could cause the baby to grow too large, complicating childbirth.
"If it gets too much, consider a C-section."
"A C-section isn’t good for the baby. Plus, just three more weeks, bear with it, it’ll soon be over," Sienna said softly.
"I never expected having a baby to be so tough."
"It isn’t tough yet. Once born, it’ll be tougher. You’ll be getting up several times at night for feeding, worried he’ll get sick. As he grows older, you’ll fear he’s naughty... In retrospect, the time in the belly is the easiest."
"If he’s naughty, give him a spanking!"
"You mustn’t bully my son."
As they spoke, the elevator arrived at the 10th floor; they had made an appointment, so there was no waiting necessary.
The nurse’s service attitude was much better than those in public hospitals, with a constant smile. Sienna Johnson reflected inwardly that you really get what you pay for.
"Mrs. Desmond, this way, please."
"Okay."
"Mrs. Desmond, have you been feeling any discomfort recently?"
"Fine, except my stomach’s been constantly uneasy and my sleep poor at night."
The nurse said, "Mrs. Desmond, don’t worry, these are all normal reactions. It’s because, toward the end, the fetus has grown large, and the available space is tight, so it’s compressing the other organs, causing the symptoms you mentioned."
The nurse then asked several more questions.
"Dr. Mitchell, Mrs. Desmond is here for her regular prenatal check-up." The nurse came in and relayed Sienna Johnson’s condition to Dr. Mitchell.
"Got it."
"..."
"Mrs. Desmond, please lie down on the bed, let me listen to the fetal heartbeat and measure the fundal height."
Behind a blue curtain was a small bed.
Adrian assisted Sienna Johnson walking in. She sat on the bed, and Adrian removed her shoes, lifting her onto it. As she lay down, her belly looked like a small mountain. Adrian really wondered how this large belly would deliver a child.
