Return of the Crowned Heiress Chapter 549

In the past, Imogen had always been consumed by her sorrow over losing her sight. Outwardly, she pretended not to care, but inwardly, her spirits were perpetually low.

However, when viewed from another perspective, back when Stephan had witnessed her collapsing to the ground while screaming in agony, would the trauma and pain be any less than hers?

Now, Imogen used that incident as leverage to attack him and threatened to take her own life to force him into making a choice… How was that any different from stabbing a knife into his heart?

Ingen covered her mouth as a wave of immen

immense sorrow and regret washed over her. She dared not make a sound, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Stanley noticed and pulled our a packet of tissues, handing two sheets to her.

Imogen accepted them, but her expression suddenly twisted in pain. She bent over, clutching her swollen belly and crying out, “M–My stomach. It hurts!”

Ms. Russell”

Stanley immediately supported her, his

Felicia quickly checked imogen’s pulse and cursed inwardly. “Her water broke. She’s going into labor!”

Sure enough, amniotic fluid began seeping from beneath Imogen’s skirt

“W–What?” Stanley was utterly flustered, stammering, “B–But there are still two months to go! H–How can this be happening now?”

“She’s too emotional and stressed. Going into premature labor is the best–case scenario at this point.”

Felicia quickly regained her composure and instructed Stanley, “There’s no choice. We need to head to the nearest hospital immediately!

However, in the rainforest region, even the nearest hospital was several hours away.

Fortunately, as the Russell family’s eldest daughter, Imogen’s travel arrangements had been meticulously prepared. The equipment and supplies for labor and delivery had been brought along, almost as if in anticipation of every contingency

If pash came to show, they could find a place to land and perform the delivery on–site.

Luckily, Imogen’s body was well–nourished and cared for, and the fetal monitoring showed the baby to be healthy. Although her water had broken, the situation wasn’t yet critical Even so

Felicia placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and reassured her, “Don’t be afraid. Lie down and stay still, We’re on our way to the hospital; everything will be fine.”

At this moment, regardless of any previous tensions, Felicia couldn’t bring herself to hold a grudge against a woman in labor.

Imogen nodded tearfully.

Fortunately, everything proceeded smoothly.

Three hours later, the helicopter arrived at the nearest hospital.

During the journey, the Russell family summoned the best obstetricians and prepared state–of–the–art equipment with just a phone call. By the time the helicopter landed, Imogen, donched in sweat and wracked with pain, was swiftly transferred to the delivery room.

Stanley was more nervous than anyone else.

When Felicia called out to him, he seemed dazed and slow to respond. “Huh? Ma’am, did you call me?!

Felicia was quite surprised. She had intended to ask him to go buy some food and drinks since no one had eaten anything after leaving the rainforest. Imogen would also need mergy replenishment

“Never mind. Stay and keep watch. I’ll go out and grab some food myself”

With that said, Felicia lett the hospital

Alter an exhausting day, the sky had turned dark. The street outside the hospital was lit by street lamps, and vendors lined the sidewalks, selling fast food and other snacks. Felicia stopped by a nearby store to buy chocolate bars and water, then got several takeout meals. After paying, she headed back to the hospital. Along the way, she had to pass through a dindy li, eluded parking lot.

The lot was mostly empty, with afew cars parked there and no one in sight.

Halfway through, Felicia suddenly stopped in her tracks. The bags in her hands fell to the ground, causing the food to spill. The enticing aroma of food wasted up to her nose as sher trouse iti plane.
