?Chapter 1860:


    Thankfully, the ward Jayden had prepared for Elyse was spacious enough to amodate the crowdfortably.


    Gavin and Freda were the first to reach the hospital. Upon seeing Elyse’s pale face, Gavin showed a rare glimpse of concern. His hands trembled as he said, “I’ll message Mr. Tucker and Irving. Mr. Tucker is still in Cambape but should see my message when he wakes up. Irving might be on a ne now, but he’lle straight here once hends.”


    Freda, noticing Gavin’s anxiety, assured him with a gentle reminder, “Don’t get too worked up. It’s just childbirth. She’ll be safe and sound.”


    Gavin took a deep breath and nodded. “You’re right. I need to stay calm. If I’m this flustered, it’ll only make Elyse nervous.”


    Hearing this, Elyse chuckled softly. “Gavin, your worry is actually making me want tough.”


    With a resigned sigh, Gavin replied, “And here you are making jokes at a time like this.”


    Elyse responded with a cheeky tongue-out gesture, her smile lighting up the room.


    Shortly after, Jennie and Brook arrived.


    Brook immediately picked up on Jayden’s nervous energy and joked, “You need to chill out, man. You’d think you were the one delivering the babies, not Elyse.”


    “I’m struggling to breathe, and I feel light-headed,” Jayden admitted.<fn159e> Follow current nov?ls on find?novel</fn159e>


    Brook arched an eyebrow, half-amused. “Really? Are you so anxious you need oxygen? Should I get you a tank?”


    “Better get a few,” Jayden responded, dead serious.


    Brook paused, seeing a side of Jayden he hadn’t seen before.


    Don’t miss out gα?ησν??ls?c?m


    Jayden, typically the epitome of confidence and control, was now a bundle of nerves, almost to the point of fainting.


    Brook shook his head, amused yet concerned, and went to fetch the oxygen tanks.


    When Elyse was five centimeters dted, Shaun and Tracy made their entrance. Tracy couldn’t hold back her tears at the sight of Elyse enduringbor pains. She sped Elyse’s hand, her voice breaking with emotion. “You’re so young, and already you’re about to be a mother.”


    Elyseforted her with a gentle pat on the head and a warm smile. “Yes, I’m bing a mom. When are you going to let someone into your life?”


    Tracy wiped away her tears and cast a shy nce at Shaun, who appeared somewhat sheepish. She pouted slightly. “Let’s keep our focus on you for now.”


    Shaun, taking Elyse’s other hand, dered, “You’ve got to support me here. I invested so much in being with her. Don’t let her shut me out now!”


    Shaun’s words brought a touch of amusement to Elyse, momentarily easing her difort.


    The agonizing wait for the babies’ arrival soon concluded, and Elyse was escorted to the delivery room by the medical team.


    As the doors swung shut, the smiles faded from everyone’s faces.


    Tracy, sitting tensely on a bench, nced at Jayden’s restless pacing. She tugged at Shaun’s sleeve and pleaded, “Can you ask Jayden to stop pacing? It’s driving me crazy.”


    Hearing this, Shaun stood, approached Jayden, and firmly grasped his arm. “Stop pacing, man. Just sit and wait.”


    Jayden shook his head. “I can’t. Walking helps me manage my anxiety.”
