Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 996 –
Side Story 4: Paul VS Daryl (1)
After that day, Daryl stopped going to the training class. Paul arranged for her the one-on-one course, and the teacher would come to their house to give lessons.
So, she felt much more relaxed now. Sure enough, she should not force herself to fit in that circle. She had learned a lesson and never asked to
take part in any group activities again. After all, she had enough friends who liked partying and hanging out with her.
The executives she had met by accident all kept their mouths shut about this although she had never asked them to do so.
She had expected the news to spread throughout the company soon, but it did not happen. There were rumors about her pregnancy, but no one could confirm it. So, itwas still a mystery for most employees.
Lucia’s stomach was bigger than Daryl’s because the former was expecting twins. And Daryl was both envious and terrified when hearing the news.
Thinking of two babies in her small belly, she couldn’t help having some foolish reflections.
And after she heard balloons going bang on TV, she had a nightmare that her belly became so bulging that it was on the edge of an
explosion. Some experienced people had told her she was pregnant with a girl after seeing her belly.
Daryl didn’t know how they could tell the baby’s gender, but she couldn’t help looking forward to giving birth to a cute girl now.
If she gave birth to a boy, he might be as garrulous as Paul, making her angry every day.
So, she wanted a daughter more. She and Paul would dote on her, and he would be more patient with a girl. Daryl could imagine Paul would
gently hold his daughter, rub her little face, and lovingly play with her.
So, she dreamed about a soft girl with dark eyes and a cute voice every night, feeling as if her heart were melting. One morning, Daryl leaned in Paul’s arms with a big belly and lazily said, ’Buy more little pink clothes for the baby.
‘ Paul did not care about the color of the baby’s clothes. After all, he didn’t even
care much about his own clothes. It would be OK for him as long as he was
not naked or looking impolite.
After he nodded in response, she asked, “Have you thought about the
name?”
He rubbed his eyes sleepily and said in a hoarse voice, ‘ What name?”
Our baby is going to be born in two months! Show more care for it!” Daryl
snapped at his arm and said, “I have drafted a lot of names. If you can’t think
of a good one, we will pick one from my list.’
He then said, “Queenie Thomas.”
Daryl glared at him and snapped, “Don’t even think about it!”
After being brainwashed, Paul pondered for a moment and agreed a daughter
was better than a son. He finally stopped worrying about how many
newspapers should be stacked on the cardboard boxes in the cabinet. If the
baby was a girl, he wouldn’t need to do it anymore.
But they had not decided on the baby’s name when she was about to give
birth.
Daryl did not have the energy to think about such things anymore. Her
stomach became increasingly big, and she felt heavy and uncomfortable all
the time. She couldn’t eat or sleep well, so she lost her temper every day.
Even painting Hendry couldn’t pacify her. When she was irritable, she could
draw dozens of paintings a day, but she didn’t even know what she was
drawing. She just wanted to throw her body into outer space and suddenly
hoped she had never been pregnant.
Paul felt distressed but could do nothing about it. He decided to sterilize
himself after the baby was born. After all, one child was enough.
With a lot of anticipation, the expected date of childbirth was around the
corner. Daryl almost cried when looking at the calendar like a prisoner who
was about to be released after being imprisoned for ten years. She hoped to
give birth as soon as possible so that she could feel relaxed and free again.
And she had never been so eager to go to the hospital.
Nurses and nutritionists were meticulously taking care of her, so she had not
worried about anything at all. In her previous life, her mother used to treat her
gently when she had been young and had occasionally mentioned that she
had been doing housework and cooking when pregnant with her.
At the thought of this, Daryl couldnt help touching her swollen belly. Suddenly,
she forgave her mother. Her mother had experienced the pain in childbirth
and had been a qualified wife and mother. When Daryl had been young, her
mother had truly loved her. But human emotions were too complicated.
Daryl closed his eyes and gently stroked her belly, thinking she would try her
best to be a qualified mother.
Suddenly, there was a sudden throbbing pain in her stomach. She had
experienced it several times, so she didn’t panic although the pain made her
pale and break out into a cold sweat.
When Paul wiped his hair after taking a shower, he saw her propping herself
up on the edge of the bed with a painful face.
What’s wrong? Your stomach hurts?
’It’s okay. It is just kicking me…” Daryl weakly waved her hand.
There was still a week before the expected date, so it was probably a false alarm.
But the labor pangs were so severe that she gasped in pain, feeling as if her
lower body was being tom apart Then, she felt as if a one-ton
n hammer was hitting her stomach heavily. The pain made her hold onto the
sheet tightly, and her pajamas were soaked in sweat.
No!” Daryl shouted in a crying voice, ’I am going to give birth!
Paul was shocked.
After arriving at the hospital, Daryl lay weakly on the bed, gasping as if she
were dying. She felt so painful that she couldn’t speak. After a medical check,
the doctor shook his head and said, “You have to wait for a while.”
After waiting for another two hours, Daryl couldn’t help bursting into tears,
feeling scared and aggrieved. Since it hurt so much now, she thought she
would suffer from more pain when giving birth.
Paul stood by the bed, comforted her in a deep voice over and over again,
and fed her some food so that she would have more strength later.
Daryl endured the pain and forced herself to swallow the food. While eating, she
suddenly bit Paul’s finger. But she didn’t dare to bite him hard despite the severe pain
she was suffering, for fear of hurting him. So, she left only shallow tooth marks. Then, she mumbled while crying,
“It hurts! I will never give birth again…”
Paul had never seen her so painful, so he calmly put his finger in her mouth
and said, “Bite me, and you will have more strength.”
Daryl cried even harder, and the tears soaked his hand. Then, she said, “I
can’t bear to harm you…“
