Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss
Chapter 850: Premature Birth 2
But he had to be grateful, he heard it.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t know what his wife was going through inside.
Hugh Kensington watched from the side, also feeling a bit worried.
The few of them continued to wait outside the room for a while longer, but suddenly, Sterling Norwood could no longer hear Selena Kensington’s voice inside.
His heart tightened, and he abruptly lifted his head.
The delivery room door in front suddenly opened, and Dr. Norwood walked out with a heavy and urgent expression.
"Family Head, the worst has happened."
Hearing Dr. Norwood’s words, the hearts of those standing outside the delivery room sank.
What was the worst-case scenario?
Naturally, it was during Selena Kensington’s childbirth that the curse’s influence suddenly descended.
During childbirth, the mother is physically and psychologically extremely exhausted.
In such a state, whether Selena Kensington could handle the curse’s influence, none of them could be sure...
Sterling Norwood peered through the delivery room door and saw a corner inside, his fists clenching unconsciously.
"How is she now?"
Dr. Norwood quickly said, "Madam’s condition is relatively stable, only I’m worried she won’t hold out for the entire process..."
"I’m here! I’m here!"
Just as the atmosphere at the scene was sinking into gloom, Annelise Mayfield hurriedly jogged over.
As she ran over, she was wearing pajamas, and her face carried a thin sheen of sweat, constantly panting softly.
When she received Dr. Norwood’s notification, Annelise Mayfield was so frightened she jumped out of bed.
Her mind went blank at that moment, without much thought, she rushed to Veridia Hospital.
Seeing Annelise Mayfield appear, Dr. Norwood’s eyes lit up.
He didn’t have time to explain much, pulling Annelise along, he prepared to leave. "Come with me to change!"
Sterling Norwood suddenly added, "I’m going too."
Dr. Norwood’s steps halted.
He then looked at Sterling Norwood, saw the expression in his eyes, and he could only nod.
Subsequently, Annelise Mayfield and Sterling Norwood, dressed in sterile clothing, entered the delivery room together.

Once Sterling Norwood and Annelise Mayfield followed Dr. Norwood into the delivery room, they found it was somewhat chaotic inside.
The delivery doctors were somewhat unable to handle the situation in front of them.
"Family Head, Dr. Norwood... this, Madam suddenly fell into a deep sleep..."
Seeing Sterling Norwood and the others enter, the delivery doctor quickly said.
Sterling Norwood glanced at the unconscious Selena Kensington, then said to the delivery doctor, "You stay, the others go out."
Those still in the delivery room didn’t dare defy Sterling Norwood’s order, so they left quickly.
After those people left, Sterling Norwood walked to Selena Kensington’s side.
Her forehead, even her neck, was wetted by sweat.
At this moment, after Selena Kensington fell into sleep, her brows were still tightly furrowed.
It seemed that even in her dreams, she couldn’t find peace.
Sterling Norwood glanced at Selena Kensington, then looked at Annelise Mayfield.
He said, "Let’s begin."
Annelise Mayfield nodded and began to activate her abilities to explore Selena Kensington’s consciousness.
When she felt herself touch a darkness, she was startled, but afterward, she found herself in a sea of flames.
The fierce flames seemed to want to penetrate her.
Annelise Mayfield knew this was the dreamscape Selena Kensington was facing.
She gritted her teeth, not daring to let her guard down.
And after falling into slumber, Selena Kensington had already vaguely sensed the arrival of the third reaction.
Unlike the previous two reactions, this time the two little ones did not have the urgent desire to come out.
Instead, they were frantically trying to absorb the nutrients from her body, especially the Heavenly Master Power...
They seemed to want to achieve the best state by borrowing the nutrients from her body before they were willing to be born.
Seeing this, Selena Kensington gritted her teeth stubbornly.
Yet, after holding on for a while, she was pulled into an endless dreamscape once more.
This dreamscape, compared to the previous ones, was especially excessive.
And just moments ago, Selena Kensington had gone through the pain of premature birth signs, leaving her physically and mentally weak and exhausted.
Now, carelessly, she was taken advantage of by these dark thoughts.
Selena Kensington weakly resisted those voices that were frantically trying to invade her mind, constantly clamoring.
She resisted tightly, refusing to relent.
But even so, there were still voices that broke into her mind.
Those voices were ethereal and wave-like, as if coming from ancient undulating sounds.
They were hoarse, with a hint of enchantment.
Luring one after another to fall into the abyss.
"Do you still want to resist... even at the cost of losing your life?"
"Your lover and family will all suffer bad luck because of you!"
"Think of your tragic past life, the miserable end you met with!"
"...Have you ever thought, all of this might just be a dream?"
Upon hearing the last sentence, a string that had been tightly stretched in Selena Kensington’s mind snapped for a moment.
A dream?
Could it be that everything she had now was just a dream?
Could it be a joke that the heavens played on her?
Precisely because of this moment of slack, those voices took advantage.
Just as she was about to fall completely into darkness, a pair of hands suddenly grabbed her.
Selena Kensington’s eyes widened slightly, incredulously shouting, "Grand-aunt..."
It was Esther Jennings who reached out to pull her.
Immediately, she was brought to Esther Jennings’ space.
Seeing Esther Jennings’ body become faintly transparent, Selena Kensington’s heart flashed a bad premonition.
She remembered Miles Goodman had told her.
These Guardian Spirits that descended into her mind had one chance to block a fatal danger for her.
After this chance was used up, they would completely dissipate.
Recalling this, Selena Kensington’s words carried a hint of panic.
"Grand-aunt, don’t intervene... I will get through this."
Feeling her body being pulled out of that space again, Selena Kensington gritted her teeth and kept holding on.
She looked pleadingly at Esther Jennings, "Really, trust me..."
She hadn’t taken Esther Jennings to see Vincent Sinclair yet, how could she let her disappear at this moment...
If Esther Jennings really disappeared because of her, Selena Kensington would regret it for life...
Esther Jennings’ gaze was calm, faintly carrying a vast gentleness.
"This is my mission, why do you resist so?"
In the Clan of Celestial Masters, when powerful elders die and transform into spiritual bodies that descend upon the descendants, the initial purpose is to protect the younger ones.
So, when facing this matter, Esther Jennings was very calm.
Upon sensing that Selena Kensington’s life was in danger, she appeared immediately.
Selena Kensington shook her head slightly, speaking with difficulty, "Because... I still need to take you to meet someone."
Esther Jennings tilted her head, calmly asking, "Who?"
"Vin... Vincent Sinclair, your husband."
After Selena Kensington finished this sentence, she was pulled out of that space.
