Chapter 1081 Premature Birth
Compared to her life, all the things that happened in the past were not important anymore.
Now, Jara's biggest wish was to let Emmeline live healthily.
As long as his wish could come true, he was willing to pay any price.
After Coby's death, they found some Way Tree from his residence.
However, those trees were only enough to last her for a year, and some members of the Marsh Family—who heard about Coby's death—had snatched the rest of the trees.
As this tree could affect someone's life, no one would take it out again.
Besides, Emmeline couldn't keep relying on Way Tree to survive.
Therefore, they must try all ways to develop the antidote.
However, a few months had passed, and yet, there was no progression.
With that, Jara became anxious.
On the other side, Clarissa's belly was getting bigger, and she was going to deliver in half a month.
Because of this, Anderson rarely went to his company these days and accompanied her around the clock.
Knowing about that, Carlos, Matteo, Robert, and Sierra tried to assure him that all of them would take care of Clarissa.
In addition, Nora was staying by Clarissa's side all the time. If anything happened, she would inform him promptly, and it wouldn't take long for him to rush back from the company.
However, Anderson did not listen to anyone because no matter how important the company's matters were, they were not as important as Clarissa.
In fact, he could work from home on a laptop while accompanying her without any trouble.
When Clarissa saw how persistent he was, she decided to go with him.
In fact, she also felt sweet.
After all, all pregnant women would love their husbands to stay with them all the time.
Besides, all women would also want their husbands to care about them.
And Clarissa was no exception.
For a period of time, the two of them were closely bonded to each other.
After dinner that night, Anderson accompanied Clarissa to take a stroll.
Although Starbay Villa was huge, Clarissa had gotten bored with the scenery here. So, these days, she would ask Anderson to take her to another park nearby with better scenery.
As she had given birth once, she had experience.
Thanks to that, she knew a period of time before her due date, she had to stay mobile to ensure smooth labor.
Therefore, these days, she had to walk for a few hours.
In fact, she had great stamina. As she was pregnant with twins, her belly was twice as big as a normal pregnant woman's.
Even so, she wasn't burdened by it.
Furthermore, Anderson had also been keeping her company.
On this day, just as the two of them were ambling, a scent attracted Clarissa's attention.
When she sniffed carefully, she realized that it came from a nearby food street.
Ever since she was pregnant, her taste became strange. Whenever she thought of a kind of food, she would yearn for it.
Seeing that her eyes were glued to the food street, Anderson knew what she was thinking and laughed, "Are you hungry?"
Feeling embarrassed, Clarissa touched her belly and nodded.
"What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you," he asked.
For a moment, she was deep in thought before answering, "I can smell something delicious, but I don't know what it is. Why don't you trace the origin of this smell and buy it for me?"
Upon hearing her words, Anderson nodded and handed Clarissa's hand over to Nora.
"Have a seat. I'll be back soon," he said.
To that, Nora nodded and helped Clarissa sit down on a chair next to them.
Actually, Anderson shouldn't be the one who did the errands.
Nora could do it as well.
However, throughout Clarissa's pregnancy, Anderson often tried his best to do many things by himself, even if it was just a small errand like buying things.
Knowing about that, Clarissa felt elated.
Nora also often praised Anderson for being a great man because she had never seen such a caring man before.
When Clarissa heard Nora praising him, she would tease Nora by asking if Nora wanted to be in love and get married.
If Nora wanted to get married, she could find Nora a nice gentleman.
Even so, whenever they talked about this topic, Nora's face would turn red. Then, she would beat around the bush to avoid this topic.
Although Clarissa could sense that something was going on in Nora's mind, Nora refused to tell her anything. So, Clarissa also decided not to ask.
After Anderson walked over to the snack street, the two of them sat down and chatted.
As they chatted, Clarissa suddenly let out a cry of pain.
Instantly, Nora's face changed, and she asked nervously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling pain somewhere?"
Clarissa shook her head and frowned.
With one hand, she covered her stomach, and her face scrunched, "Oh my God, why do I feel..."
Before she could finish her words, Nora cried out in surprise upon seeing something.
"Clarissa, your legs..."
Hearing that, Clarissa immediately looked down and saw a transparent liquid flowing down her leg.
As it was summer now, she was wearing a fluffy maternity dress.
After seeing the liquid, she was appalled.
At once, she grabbed Nora's hand. "Call Anderson! Tell him that my water breaks, and I might be giving birth soon. Ask him to send me to the hospital now!"
Even though Nora didn't fully understand what Clarissa meant, she knew the seriousness of the matter.
So, she immediately gave Anderson a call.
In less than two minutes, Anderson ran back, panting.
Initially, it would take at least seven or eight minutes to reach here, but he actually ran back in two minutes.
Once he saw Clarissa, he carried her and ran to the car.
In fact, there were still a few days before Clarissa's estimated date of delivery.
And because of this, they were not in such a hustle to admit her to the hospital.
After all, no matter how high-end the hospital environment was, it was still a hospital.
According to Clarissa's character, she definitely wouldn't want to rest there.
Therefore, they initially planned to check in the hospital a day or two before the due date. They thought it would be just in time.
In addition, Clarissa had given birth once, so she was not as nervous as she was during her first pregnancy.
Nevertheless, it didn't occur to anyone that she would have a premature birth.
Moreover, since the amniotic fluid was broken in advance, it became a huge matter. If not handled properly, two lives would be sacrificed.
No, she was pregnant with twins, and that made three lives!
Hence, facing this kind of situation, Anderson was a bundle of nerves.
On the other hand, Clarissa was calmer. In the car, she held Anderson's hand and comforted, "Don't worry about me. I feel like I'm in good shape now, so there shouldn't be any big problem. Let's wait until we get to the hospital."
