Chapter 236
"Push harder. We can see the baby's head now."
With the sound of a baby crying, Grace collapsed on the bed.
When she heard the child's cries, two streams of hot tears suddenly fell from the corners of her eyes.
The doctor finished stitching Grace's torn wound and gently patted Grace's cheek.
"The child is well. It's a girl. She weighs 5.73 pounds."
The other doctor had already cleaned up the child and wrapped her in a blanket. The doctor carried the child to Grace. "Take a look."
The newborn baby's skin was wrinkled, but one could still vaguely see that her eyes looked similar to Brian's.
The doctor helped Grace put on her pants and asked worriedly, "Can you walk?"
Grace slowly put down her legs. Enduring the pain between her legs, she nodded. "Yes, I can."
She wore a thick cap and left the hospital with the baby in her arms.
Tina's car was parked outside. Grace carried the child into the car and drove away quickly.
Brian maintained his posture outside for an unknown period of time until his entire body was stiff. Then, the delivery room door finally opened. Brian's heart skipped a beat as he strode over.
He did not see Grace come out. He craned his neck and looked inside. "Where's the child?"
Brian stopped the doctor who was about to leave.
The doctor looked at him. "The pregnant woman has already been discharged."
Brian was stunned for a full five seconds. "What did you say? Where did she go?"
"I'm sorry, sir. You're not a family member of the pregnant woman. We can't divulge information about her."
Brian's gaze gradually turned fierce. He suddenly went crazy and kicked over the chair beside him, smashing everything he saw.
The doctors and nurses were shocked. Someone took out his phone and called the police.
Brian grabbed the collar of a doctor and said fiercely, "Take me to check the surveillance footage immediately. Now! Immediately!" "I'm sorry, sir. You're not a family member of the pregnant woman. You can't check the surveillance footage."
Brian dragged her forward in a frenzy.
Just then, the police arrived.
The police officer happened to be the same police officer from before. When he saw Brian, he handcuffed him without hesitation.
Brian calmed down and took out his phone to make a call. He briefly explained the situation over the phone.
A few minutes later, the police officer answered a call. He glanced at Brian and removed the handcuffs from his hands.
The police officer spoke to Brian
politely, "Mr. Brian, please follow the
law in the future. We're old friends,
so we won't make things difficult for you."
As the police officer spoke, he took off the handcuffs for Brian.
Brian's expression was gloomy. He turned around and left the hospital. He quickly started to get people to track down Grace's whereabouts.
*****
The car drove all the way to the countryside, which was Tina's hometown.
There were no surveillance cameras here. It would be difficult for Brian to think of this place.
Tina drove the car into the courtyard and helped carry the child out.
Grace was very weak at the moment. She got out of the car slowly.
"Miss Grace, put on your cap. I'll open the door."
Tina opened the door and said to Grace, "This is our family's old house. My parents have gone to Capern City to work, so the has been vacant. They won't have a holiday until after Christmas You can stay here with peace of mind."
"Thank you, Tina."
Tina led Grace through the door. "It might be a little damp downstairs. You can stay upstairs. I'll carry the child upstairs first, then carry you upstairs later."
"There's no need. I can go upstairs myself by walking slowly."
