A tall man suddenly rushed out of the elevator.
What a coincidence.
"Where is she?" Jeremy asked with great pain.
Lucas immediately grabbed him by the collar. "You b*stard! Why did you come so late?"
Annie rushed over to him. "Uncle Jeremy, Corinne is inside the delivery room. Go to her now!"
Jeremy quickly pushed Lucas' hand away and rushed into the delivery room.
A nurse tried to stop him. "What are you doing? A patient is giving birth inside. No outsider is allowed!"
"I'm the baby's father!" shouted Jeremy in a panic.
Hearing this, the nurse let him in. "Why are you here so late? Come in quickly, and change into a pair of scrubs before going any closer to the patient."
Jeremy quickly did as he was told. He took off his suit jacket and changed into a pair of scrubs and shoes before following the nurse into the sterile delivery room.
Outside the door, he heard Corinne's weak moans. 'She sounds like she's running out of strength!'
Jeremy's heart nearly jumped out of his throat. He strode rapidly to her bed and grabbed her limp hand. "Little rascal, I'm back!"
The sweat-stricken Corinne immediately turned to look at him in disbelief when she heard his voice. Suddenly, using whatever strength she had left, she bit down hard on his arm.
Jeremy did not even flinch. He squatted down and whispered comfortingly into her ear, "There, there. I'll be with you till the end."
Finally, Corinne heard the sound of a baby crying through the haze of consciousness.
"The baby's father must've been too excited to show his baby to the family. We should attend to the patient first," said the assisting doctor.
Everyone agreed with him, so they all turned their attention back to delivering another baby.
Corinne, who was slipping in and out of consciousness, continued to give birth to another two babies through sheer primal instinct alone.
"The second baby is a boy too! A very healthy one, at that!"
"Doctor, there's a third baby coming!"
"Oh my. It's been a while since we've delivered a triplet."
"The last one's a girl! Their parents are so lucky to have both sons and a daughter in one go!"
