Chapter 2152:

Janet felt comforted by Brandon’s familiar scent, and she managed a gentle smile. “I’m actually okay. I just don’t understand why I suddenly had a nightmare.”

The doctor quickly reassured her, “It’s quite common during pregnancy for emotions to be more sensitive. Having nightmares, especially after being frightened, is not unusual.”

Hearing this, Brandon finally let out a relieved sigh.

The doctor then suggested cautiously, “Would you like to consider further observation or perhaps consult a psychologist for emotional support for Mrs. Larson? If this doesn’t happen again, early delivery might not be necessary.”

Janet was listening carefully, but the baby’s restless kicking made her wince.

“Ouch…” Janet couldn’t help but exclaim in discomfort.

This immediately set Brandon on edge. His eyes fixed on her belly, and he was ready to scold their little one to be more gentle. However, before he could speak, Janet’s glance stopped him, and he fell silent, respecting her unspoken request.

Turning to the doctor, Janet asked politely, “Could you please check the baby’s fetal heart rate again? I have a feeling something isn’t quite right.”

The doctor glanced at Brandon, who gave a firm nod of approval.

With his consent, the doctor began examining Janet.

After a few moments, the doctor furrowed his brow and said, “The baby’s heart rate is still low. We might need to consider inducing labor.”

Brandon shook his head. “No, that’s not an option. Janet’s already in a fragile emotional state. If complications arise during delivery, it could trigger postpartum depression and other serious issues.”

The doctor paused to consider Brandon’s words before responding, “In that case, I’ll arrange for a psychologist to help Mrs. Larson stabilize her emotions first.”

Brandon remained silent, silently agreeing with the doctor’s plan.

Just as the doctor was about to step out to contact the psychologist, Janet suddenly called out, “Wait a moment.”

The doctor stopped in his tracks, turning back to Janet with a puzzled expression. “Mrs. Larson, is there something else?”

Janet met Brandon’s eyes, her voice firm and sincere. “I’m not afraid of postpartum depression. I can’t bear the thought of the baby being at risk. Let’s move forward with the delivery as soon as possible. I won’t feel at ease until the child is safely born.”

Brandon frowned deeply, clearly indicating his disagreement with Janet’s decision.

Despite his silent protest, Janet looked past him and said to the doctor, “Please proceed with the preparations for the delivery.”

The doctor hesitated, his gaze shifting between Janet and Brandon, unsure of how to proceed.

Brandon stood quietly, his stern expression betraying his internal conflict, but he didn’t voice his objection.

The doctor, clearly under pressure and sweating nervously, turned to face Brandon’s stern demeanor. With cautious precision, he began explaining the delivery process to Janet. Once Janet had signed the necessary consent forms, the doctor and a team of nurses began making preparations for the delivery.

When Johanna and Beal arrived at the ward, they were met with a flurry of activity, as doctors and nurses surrounded Janet.

Johanna’s face paled in shock, and she asked Janet, “I was informed that you’re about to give birth. What’s happening? Are you feeling unwell?”

Janet offered a calm smile. “I’m fine. It’s just time for the baby to come. You’ll have the chance to hold your grandchild soon.”

Johanna was momentarily taken aback. She moved closer to examine Janet’s complexion carefully. Seeing that Janet seemed healthy and composed, Johanna managed to compose herself and inquired, “Isn’t it still a bit early for your due date? Why is the delivery happening so suddenly?”

Johanna knew that an early delivery usually wasn’t a good sign, and her anxiety was evident.

Noticing her mother’s distress, Janet reassured her, “I’m actually quite close to my due date. The baby is developing well, so arriving a few days early won’t be a problem.”

Despite Janet’s explanation, Johanna still looked worried. Sensing this, Janet turned to Brandon for help.

Although he didn’t entirely agree with Janet’s decision, Brandon stood by her side. He stepped in to soothe Johanna’s concerns, explaining, “The obstetrician has already performed all the necessary checks. Both the baby and Janet are healthy, and today is a good time for the delivery.”
