"Good. Thanks. | got it." Scarlett responded with a smile. She calmed Alexis for a moment, then went out to let Justin in.
She and Raymond had rushed over without lunch. And it was almost 2:00 in the afternoon.
Scarlett was inside the hospital room with Alexis. Because she was worried about Alexis, she hadn't noticed that she was hungry.
When she came out and looked at the packed lunch box sitting beside Raymond, Scarlett instantly felt her stomach was a little empty.
"Hungry?" Raymond reached out and touched her, and Scarlett nodded. "Have you eaten?” "Not yet.” Scarlett turned her head and looked inside the ward again. "Let's eat in the little garden over there.” Because the ward was surrounded by the smell of sterile water, Scarlett felt that if she ate there, it would affect her appetite.

“Okay.” The nurse guessed correctly that Alexis' cervix dilated from a width of two fingers to a width of three fingers in a short time. However, it took nearly four hours to dilate her cervix from a width of three fingers to a width of four fingers. It was after 7:00 p.m. when her cervix was dilated to four fingers wide. Finally, Alexis was able to get the epidural she wanted. After she recovered a little, she drank the water that Justin fed her in the ward.
After her cervix dilated to the width of four fingers, Alexis' cervix dilated quickly.
When it was just after 10:00 p.m., Alexis was wheeled into the delivery room. And Justin went in with her.
Alexis was given VIP service for the birth. And Scarlett and Raymond were the only ones waiting outside the delivery room.
Although the hospital room was well soundproofed, Alexis was probably in so much pain, so she screamed so loud that Scarlett felt agitated.
Scarlett was stunned when Raymond took her hand in his.
"Don't be afraid." Scarlett's hand was a little cold, so Raymond put her hand in his palm and held it tightly.
Scarlett glanced at him, whispered in response, and then leaned on his shoulder.
It was nearly two hours before Scarlett heard the baby's cries.
Soon, the door to the delivery room was pushed open, and Alexis and the baby were wheeled out.

Justin stood by. Although he was expressionless, as he walked out, he suddenly went limp, and then Raymond reached out to hold him.
Justin looked back at Raymond. "Thank you, Mr. Shaw." "You're welcome." They looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, they both understood what each other meant.
Alexis had finally given birth to a 3kg boy after trying so hard. Alexis and Justin gave their baby a name early on, which was called Blaze Lynch.
The newborn baby looked small and scrunched up. Alexis cried with frustration when she was wheeled in and looked at Scarlett. "Lettie, my son is so ugly." Alexis had just given birth and was weak. When she spoke, her voice sounded soft and a little aggrieved, which amused the nurses standing beside her.
Scarlett couldn't help but let out a laugh, too. "Don't worry. That's what you looked like when you were born." Alexis looked agitated when she heard Scarlett's words, but she was weak and tilted her head to look at her newly born baby and took Justin's hand. "Justin, | want to take a nap." The moment her words just broke off, Alexis closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Justin's face turned pale with fear." Scarlett-" Scarlett felt her heart flutter, but she was more sensible than Justin. "She was too tired, so she just passed out." However, Justin was a little unconvinced, then asked the nurse and the doctor again. It was not until everyone gave the same answer that he was reassured.
