NovelBookChapter 1141
After two hours of waiting, Lucius had practically carved an invisible path from pacing back and forth. No one
cout to tell him anything. He just wanted to know if his wife and their baby-boy or girl-were okay. The baby's
arrival was way too early, and during the last checkup, they hadn't even been able to tell what it was going to
be.
Lucius looked anxious-clearly distressed. He didn't know what to think or what else to do. He kept asking the
nurses, but the answer was always the same:
"You'll have to wait until the doctors cout and give you an update."
A few more minutes later, Angela arrived running with a bag slung over her shoulder. She looked a little
disheveled from how quickly she'd tried to get there.
"Lucius, honey! How are they? What have they told you? What happened?" she asked as soon as she reached
him.
"Nothing...! They haven't toldanything!" he said, anguish written all over his face.
"What do you mean, nothing? Wait here. You're the father-you should be in there for the birth, if the baby's really
coming. I'll go find out what's going on."
Angela, with her usual fierce personality, never needed to throw her naround —she just had to stand her
ground when it cto protecting those she loved.
"Miss, two hours ago a young woman named Amanda Evans, née Hayward was admitted to the ER, and we
haven't heard a thing. As far as we know, she was about to give birth, but they haven't let the father in and no

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but we don't have that information... You'll need to wait for someone to cout and give
you an update."
"Oh really? So we just sit here for over two hours without knowing anything? And if the baby's born already, isn't
that young man sitting over there supposed to be in the delivery room with his wife?"
"I'm sorry, but that's confidential information."
"Okay... | tried to do this the nice way..." said Angela, pulling out her phone, finding a contact, and calling.
"Marcellus, sweetheart, | hate to bother you, but I've got a problem here with the service at your hospital..." she
said, putting the call on speaker.
"What's going on, Angela? Tell me, how can | help?" cthe voice of a man on the other end.
"Marcellus, my dear, | have a patient here-she's basically my
sister-in-law. She was admitted with signs of preterm labor, and no one will give us any updates. We've been
waiting over two hours," said Angela, glaring at the nurses, who were now visibly nervous.
Marcellus Smith was the hospital owner and a longtfriend of Anthony Moriarty. They'd been childhood
playmates. Though they didn't see each other often anymore, their friendship went way back.
"I understand your concern, Angela, and that's not how we operate. Letspeak with the hospital director. Give
"Thanks, Marcellus."
"You're welcome... and sorry for the inconvenience. I'll get on it right now-and if needed, I'll cdown myself."
The nurses glanced at Angela, but said nothing. Barely five minutes passed before the hospital director appeared
in front of her.
"Mrs. Moriarty, my sincerest apologies. Mr. Smith informedof the situation,
and I've already looked into it. Please, cwith me..." the doctor said, motioning toward a hallway.
"Lucius, sweetheart, con, let's go," said Angela to the young man, who looked consumed by worry.
"Again, I'm sorry," said the director.
