Words I Was Afraid To Hear Chapter 141

Published at 9th of January 2019 11:25:04 AM Chapter 141: 141

Verdan Zhou was sitting on his private plane, ready for take off, 15 minutes after receiving the call from his wife .

Montgomery Johnson, 'Monty' to his close friends, was a former pilot for fighter jets in Country A, but he decided to live better by being hired by the heir and CEO of the international group of companies, ZFC .

He had always been to the CEO's beck and call while duly compensated . However, it was the first time that he saw his boss this fl.u.s.tered .

Dan only ordered a gla.s.s of water, much to the surprise of the attendant .

He gulped it down in a single continuous tilt of his head .

"Uhm . . . would you like another gla.s.s of water, Sir?" The attendant was a bit scared of how frustrated and anxious he looked .

Dan glared at her .

"Perhaps some wine or whiskey, Sir?" She still tried to maintain her professional smile .

Dan ran his finger through his dark locks, messing his hair . His suit was wrinkled from running and abruptly taking his seats as he rode the car and the plane .

"Scotch . On the rocks . " he ordered, without looking back at her .

It was still too early for the baby to arrive . It can somehow survive, but it will be an early preterm neonate .

He could just imagine how frightened she must be right now . He started hating the distance and his absence by her side . He wanted to comfort her so badly . He could only wait for his plane to arrive .

Before his drink could arrive, he went striding into the c.o.c.kpit .

"Monty . " his steady voice rang in an otherwise quiet area .

The pilot almost screamed in surprise .

"Boss! Do you need something?"

"How long?"

It seemed like the CEO wanted him to speed up . Since there is no heavy traffic as excuse, he did not know what to say . However, he could not compromise their safety . He is not driving a jet this time .

"Uhm . . . 45 minutes . "

Before he could know what will happen next, the CEO strode out, seemingly sulking .

"We will try to control the contractions . Please calm yourself so as not to aggravate your preterm contractions with too much stress . " The doctor excused herself after checking on the rate of her drip and adjusting it with the machine .

"Mom . . . I'm scared . " Midori was almost in tears .

"Shhh . . . it's gonna be fine, Sweetheart . I was also in the same situation when you were inside me . Plus, your husband said he's on his way . " Aoi caressed her head gently, consoling her daughter .

Of course, they did not tell their daughter about the trouble they had with Ming Xiaoyu .

They even made Xiu Lan take Masaichi away for awhile in fear that the woman would be back in their house .

Xiu Jin distanced himself from her thoroughly, even asking a temporary restraining order from the court .

Going back to the current scenario, Aoi Xiu did not inform her husband and son on what was happening on her daughter . She deemed it unnecessary .

"You shouldn't have buried yourself in work for three days . Why did you do that? Too much stress is definitely bad for the baby . " Aoi scolded .

"I . . . I was preparing everything before I go on leave for the baby's delivery . . . but I . . . " Midori's hormones were not helping her calm down .

"Doctor . . . " Aoi Xiu went out to call the resident on duty .

"Yes, Ma'am . What can I help you with?"

"My daughter is having preterm contractions and her emotions are making things worse . Can you give something to sedate her?"

"Sorry, Ma'am . We refrain from sedating our patients when it can still be avoided since it could affect the baby . " The doctor had an apologetic and understanding tone .

"Oh . . . it's alright then . I'll just keep her company then . " Aoi was enlightened and walked back to Midori's room .

Before she could reach it, a hand landed on her shoulder .

"Mom!" Dan was panting as he stopped her .

Aoi Xiu looked down at her watch . "You're pretty fast on closing the distance . Come, calm your wife . "
