"Here, ma'am!" Daldalita rushed in front of him, clutching the key.
"Press the button," he ordered the servant, who quickly did as he said. Everyone was terrified as Elyana screamed because her stomach hurt so much, and their fears were heightened when a maid noticed blood on Elyana's clothes.
Felicity quickly slid Elyana into the backseat after the car door opened.
"Felicity... my baby..." she sobbed as she sat.
"N-Nothing bad will happen," he said, even though the word was ambiguous. He got on board. He brought two servants with him to make sure there would be people looking after Elyana while he drove the car.
Felicity called Doctor Chelsea while they were on their way to the nearest hospital.
"I'm on my way now," she said, ending their call as well.
Felicity drove the car at high speed, but he made sure they would also arrive at the hospital safely. The two servants, who were not used to that speed while riding a car, clung and held tighter at anything they could hold on to inside the vehicle.
It only took them ten minutes to reach their destination. Chelsea already called the hospital to inform them about the incoming patient. Two nurses were already waiting and there were another two preparing everything the patient needed at that time.
The physician on duty at that time was also requested to give immediate attention to the patient while she was on her way. They immediately checked Elyana's blood pressure and heart rate. The same physician was checking the baby's condition when Chelsea arrived to take over.
"W-what is going on? Please tell me what is wrong with my baby, doctor?" Elyana begged in tears as she was still being examined.
The physician noticed the baby's heartbeat was weak and informed Chelsea when he arrived. When she examined it just to double-check, she found out the same.
"I-I believe it is time, Elyana; I need to perform an emergency C-section to save the baby before it is too late." Hearing this from the doctor made Elyana cry even more.
Her son was not prepared to go out yet. There were a few more weeks, but to learn the baby's life would be in danger, she didn't want to be stubborn for his sake.
"Do it, doctor. Please save my baby," she begged while crying.
Chelsea nodded. "I will. So trust me, you both are in safe hands." The doctor turned her back on her and immediately ordered the nurses to prepare the emergency room.
When the doctor was gone, Felicity approached Elyana. He reached for her hand and noticed a strong tremor. "Should I call your parents now?" he asked for permission.
Elyana weakly nodded. She could hardly talk because of the sobbing continuously coming out of her mouth. The couple booked a flight back to the Philippines for their daughter.
Elyana was admitted to the operating room to get ready for her surgery. Felicity stayed outside alone. He directed their two servants to summon their companions in the mansion to prepare things for Elyana and the baby.
Chelsea, who was already on her way to the operating room, saw the terrified-looking Felicity outside the closed door where Elyana was taken. had arrived
"Calm down." Felicity looked up at the person who spoke, who arrived unnoticeably.
"I'm trying here," he replied sparingly, even though his trembling of fear was evident in his voice.
"Just pray, Felicity and your baby and his mother will be fine," she told him before finally leaving him there all alone.
He knew he must get rid of those worries, but he didn't know how, and with no one around, he seemed to be going crazy.
He thought of his mother but got hesitant because he might only disturb her rest considering the time. He decided to leave him a message instead to make sure her sleep wouldn't get bothered.
As he waited there, he remembered Chelsea's words—about praying.
"L-Lord..." He was about to start, but he paused by biting his lips like something impossible came out of his mouth.
He thought he had already forgotten how to pray. It had been a long time since the last and he didn't remember anymore when that was
He bit his lower lip, feeling sorry for everything. Felicity knew how much danger giving birth has and because his child's life was in danger, he couldn't explain how much fear he was feeling, which made her eyes watery.
He leaned his head forward, arching his back in the same direction. He placed his elbows on both legs, clasping his hands together and there was a firmness in the grip that seemed to draw strength from it.
His forehead was pressed against his closed palms and the tears that were forming started falling down his cheeks.
"L-Lord," he started again. His voice was shaking at this moment, but he didn't care that much anymore. All he wanted was for his prayers to be heard and he couldn't rely on anyone else at that time but Him. "Lord, please... make my son and his mother safe. Please give Elyana strength because she needs it right now. Please take mine if you want and give it to her. Although I know I don't have that much, it's okay, dear Lord." he paused.
"Please, Lord, save my son. I will admit what I have done. I know in your eyes I am a sinner, but please... this is for my child and his mom—my best friend. Please help them. I will become a man if that is what you want in return to be worthy to be my son's father. Just give me time and I will change myself."
Felicity's mind was filled with images as he prayed. Elyana's joyful expression every time the child kicked inside her belly—those were very precious memories. He wouldn't bear to see Elyana sad again if they ever lost the baby.
'My precious child, please don't leave mommy and d-daddy.' he cried silently.
