Selina kept quiet about her unwillingness at heart and stopped talking.
Cecilia glanced at Lucy, "Lucy, you look very pretty today." Lucy was wearing a red strapless dress with beautiful makeup and matching red lipstick. It camouflaged her natural lovely temperament, but it made her look glamorous and vibrant. "So do you, auntie." Lucy said sweetly. Cecilia smiled and said, "You should change the way you addressin the future." There was gloom in Lucy's eyes.
The gloom soon disappeared; no one ever noticed it.
She smiled sweetly at Cecilia, but she said nothing.
Selina could not stand it anymore.
She pulled Cecilia to one side.
"Mother, do you really want this woman to get engaged to Tobias? Do you really want this woman to marry him?" Cecilia said, "That's right." Selina sounded very unhappy, "Have you forgotten about Natalie? Why are you as fickle as Tobias?" Cecilia's expression changed slightly.
After a while, she gave Selina a look, "Selina, there's no way for Tobias and Natalie to be together. Do you want your brother to stay single for the rest of his life?" Selina said in a soft voice, "I don't mean that, but Natalie hasn't left for too long, and yet..." "Selina!" Cecilia suddenly raised her voice.
Selina was shocked.
She licked her dry lips.
She had rarely seen Cecilia behaving in such a strict manner, so she was a little scared.
Cecilia's face was pale but her gaze was harsh, "In future, you are not allowed to talk about Natalie. This is the first and last tI'm telling you this." After that, Cecilia walked away.
Selina stuck out her tongue, as she did not submit to her.
Was everyone so fickle nowadays? Not just Tobias, but even her own mother! Selina felt miserable.
She missed Natalie. She really did.
Cecilia went into the washroom.
Her face was ghastly pale.
She fixed her makeup and touched up with a face blush.
She could only look better that way.
She could stay calm in front of everyone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut only she knew how anxious she was at that moment and how she had been tormented as the hours passed.
After she touched up her makeup, she took out her phone.
His hands trembled for no reason as she was making a call.
The call was soon connected.
"Joshua, how's Natalie?" Cecilia's voice was shivering.
"Madam, Miss Godfrey's cervix has only dilated for about 1 cm." Joshua said anxiously.
"She...she is in pain, isn't she?" Cecilia tightened her grip on her phone.
"Miss Godfrey is in constant pain and the gap of each pain is getting shorter in duration." Cecilia's face turned really pale.
"You must insist on a c-section if she's in too much pain." Cecilia made up her mind.
Natalie had been in pain for nearly three days. If the pain continued, Cecilia was afraid that something bad would happen to her. "Yes, Madam." Joshua promised.
After hanging up, Cecilia walked out.
She forced a smile.
It was the engagement ceremony between Tobias and Lucy that day. There were a lot of things she needed to handle.
Cecilia forced herself to cheer up.
But no matter how badly she tried to cheer herself up, Cecilia's mind was constantly on Natalie. She was constantly worried about whether Tobias was able to see right through her. The engagement ceremony officially began.
The hall was decorated romantically. The host went on stage shortly.
"Today is the engagement of Mr. Whitlock and Miss Lucy. Let us give a round of applause as a gesture of blessing to their union." A round of applause could be heard.
Cecilia sat right in front of the stage, she applauded as well.
But she was worried about Natalie, so her smile was a little strained.
Since Tobias was present, she felt a little relieved.
She had never expected Tobias to agree to the engagement with Lucy. It was beyond her expectation.
Of course, she knew her son very well.
Tobias did not like to be threatened.
Since he agreed to be engaged to Lucy, Cecilia heaved a sigh of relief.
Tobias was a responsible man.
If he really had an engagement with Lucy, he would still fulfill his duty as a husband no matter how much he disliked her or how little feelings he had for her. He would not betray the marriage.
After the host ended his opening introduction, Lucy went up to the stage.
She was indeed a rich, young and experienced lady. With many people in front of her, she remained poised.
"Hello, everyone. Welcto my and Tobias' engagement. However, I may have to disappoint everyone." Lucy paused for a moment.
Cecilia's body stiffened.
She suddenly had a bad feeling about it.
She was puzzled for she was going through the pressure of too many concerns, so she did not have tto think clearly.
For example, Tobias did not like to be threatened by others, but he easily gave in to their request recently.
She had not seen Tobias for such a long ttoo.
Her eyes were fixed on Lucy.
Lucy smiled and lowered her eyes. However, her voice was a little cheeky, "After a long discussion with Tobias, we have agreed that we would be better off as friends. Which is why we have agreed to cancel this engagement. Everyone, thank you for coming here." It turned into an uproar immediately.
Cecilia suddenly stood up while her face turned pale. SeaR*ch the Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Natalie did not agree to a c-section.
Joshua was extremely anxious. The content is on Em ous. The velxo.com!
In the end, he called the shots. The content is on Ennbvelxo.com! He walked to Natalie and said in a lower voice, "Miss Godfrey, the engagement between Young Master Tobias and Miss Lucy has started." Natalie's hands, which had been clinging to the bed railing, loosened immediately.
She stared at Joshua with her wide eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer pain was too great.
She was in such great pain that she almost forgot that it was Tobias' engagement that sday.
Joshua blinked his eyes and said, "Miss Godfrey, let's go for a c-section. You won't be able to stand it if this goes on." The doctor said that Natalie's condition was good although she had been in pain for a long time. There was sufficient amniotic fluid so the baby would be fine.
However, Joshua could not bear to see Natalie in such great pain.
Cecilia would not be at ease either.
Natalie felt as though a knife was piercing through her flesh.
Natalie was in such great pain that her entire body was trembling.
C-section needed anesthesia.
Natalie used the remaining reasoning in her mind to think.
After being drugged, she would lose her senses and would not be in such great pain.
"Okay." Natalie finally compromised.
Joshua breathed a sigh of relief and immediately instructed the doctor to prepare for a caesarean surgery.
Natalie laid on the operating table.
She could feel the scalpel cutting open her stomach but she thought she could not feel any pain at all.
She was wrong about that.
She thought that once she was drugged, she would lose her consciousness completely.
She would not feel any pain thereafter.
But she only knew the truth after she was injected with anesthesia.
She remained conscious.
She thought she would no longer be in pain, but the only pain that stopped was the pain in her body.
But the pain in her heart remained, greatly.
