After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 1098 Childbirth (2) A Call to Hannah

Susan was taken to the designated hospital. Manuel had been talking with her on their way to Jolencami that she might give birth prematurely. With her personality, knowing that Hannah was still alive would make her very excited.

Finally, it happened. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance. Not only did he bring Susan's attending physician with them but he also contacted the hospital early on. With one phone call made at this moment, they were already prepared on the other end.

As soon as they arrived at the hospital gate, a large group of people were waiting for them. As soon as Susan got out of the car, she was arranged to sit in a wheelchair and quickly pushed into the delivery room by the medical staff.

Susan had been calm before this moment. Even though her water broke, there wasn't any pain yet. But seeing so many people and such a big scene instantly made her nervous. She hurriedly grabbed Manuel's hand instinctively seeking support.

Manuel didn't let go of her hand and followed along with medical staff quickly going into the delivery room alongside Susan.

Upon arriving at the delivery room, the doctor said, "We need to examine Mrs Johnson's cervical condition first. Mr Johnson, you can wait outside for now. If it is time for labour we will let you come in and accompany your wife."

Manuel nodded his head while reluctantly letting go of Susan's hand. Susan clasped his hand and said, "Don't leave me."

"Listen, I'll be right outside if anything happens."

"But I'm scared," said Susan anxiously holding onto Manuel's hand tightly again unwillingly letting him leave.

"Don't be afraid," Manuel crouched down gently kissing her forehead reassuringly saying, "We'll see our baby soon."

Susan looked up eagerly, watching Manuel closely before being pushed inside by medical personnel. Manuel began feeling uneasy himself. He had just pretended to be calm; he was nervous. Salem came over trying to comfort him. He held Manuel's hand, which was slightly shivering, and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Manuel Auntie will be fine!"

Not until now did Manuel realize that Salem was together with them. Salem was a good kid, who had helped him do a lot of things while he kept comforting Susan. It was Salem who had helped him contact the hospital and the people he needed. And now, he was comforting him.

Manuel squatted down and touched Salem's head, saying, "Sal, you're really good."

Salem felt a bit embarrassed when Manuel suddenly praised him. He lowered his head, with a blushing face. Manuel couldn't help but sigh. He thought they could have given Salem a complete family, but unfortunately, his mother still refused to forgive his father. Manuel touched Salem's head again and stood up, looking towards the door of the delivery room.

After quite a while, a nurse came out and said, "Mrs Johnson's water has broken and her cervix is dilated. She will be giving birth tonight. We are preparing for the delivery now. Once we are ready, you can choose to come in and accompany your wife during the natural childbirth."

"Okay, I'll accompany her," Manuel said quickly.

The nurse left.

Manuel turned to Salem and said, "Sal, later on, I will be accompanying Susan during childbirth. I don't recommend that you come with us. Can you wait for us outside the door until we come out?" "Okay," Salem nodded obediently.

He was a very easy-going and sensible child.

"My phone is left with you. If you're bored, feel free to play with it." Manuel continued.

"Okay."

"Promise me you won't run around. If you need anything, the uncles and aunties here will help you." Manuel kept reminding him.

Salem always agreed obediently. In a short while, medical staff came out and invited Manuel to come in for the delivery. Manuel gave Salem a few more instructions before entering the delivery room. Salem sat obediently on a chair in the long corridor outside the delivery room, with several people by his side who were there to take care of him. However, they stood one meter away from him as they didn't want to startle him.

After a while, Salem felt a bit bored so he picked up Manuel's phone.

There was no password on the phone, which must be because Manuel thought that Susan might encounter problems at any time, and he was afraid that if there was a password, it would be inconvenient for others to use his phone to contact him for help. Manuel indeed put Susan in the first place for everything, Salem reckoned. Salem wanted to watch cartoons with the phone.

But finally, he opened the chat app and sent a voice message to his dad, "Auntie Susan is giving birth now. I'm at the hospital with Uncle Manuel to accompany her."

There had been no response from over there. He didn't know if his dad didn't see it. Salem hesitated for a moment, exited the chat software, and found a phone number, not his father's phone number. Salem wanted to call his mom. He found "Besse" on Manuel's contact list.

"Is she asleep? It's late now. Will I disturb her?" Salem thought to himself. But then he thought that his mother and Susan were best friends, his mother must also be worried about Susan on this occasion. Thus he didn't hesitate any more and pressed the call button.

The other side rang twice before connecting.

"Hi, Manuel."

"Mom... Miss Besse, it's me, Salem."

Hannah's hand holding the phone trembled a bit. Salem's voice would always control her mood.

Her voice was very soft and gentle as she asked, "Where are you?"

"I'm at the hospital."

"What happened?" Hannah couldn't help but get agitated.

"Auntie Susan is giving birth and I'm here with Uncle Manuel to accompany her. He went into the delivery room so I'm alone in the hallway."

"Which hospital?"

"Are you coming over?"

"I'll go right away."

"Okay," Salem said. "I don't know which hospital it is but can I send you my location?"

Then Salem sent Hannah the location. Hannah replied with a text message, saying, "I'll be there in 10 minutes."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Salem put down the phone and waited in the hallway. He looked forward to seeing his mother in ten minutes. When he left tonight, he was already thinking about how long it would be until he could see his mother again. He was not sure if he went back with Manuel and Susan tomorrow, he could see Hannah in the future.

Salem paced back and forth in the corridor while waiting for Hannah to arrive. He just can't calm down when thinking about seeing his mom soon. Suddenly he heard hurried footsteps approaching from down the hallway. He turned around quickly whereupon seeing that it was Hannah from afar. Without hesitation or delay any further, Salem ran towards Hannah as fast as possible using all of his little legs' strength.
