Chapter 2278 Colton was pacing back and forth anxiously in the obstetrics and gynecology
inpatient department corridor. Leonardo looked at him and said, “Don‘t worry too much, Mr.
Goldmann. I think it‘s about time for Ms. Pruitt to give birth.”
Colton was stunned.
‘She‘s giving birth soon?‘ He turned his head to look at Leonard and asked, “If she‘s giving
birth soon, will it be painful?”
Leonardo shrugged. “How would i know? I‘m not a woman.”
After he finished speaking, he added, “But I heard that all of the women would look like this
when they‘re about to give birth to a baby. Besides, Ms. Pruitt‘s stomach is big, so I think it‘s
about time.”
“Colton.” Colton heard someone calling for him and turned his head around. “Mom? Dad?”

Maisie and Nolan walked over to them and asked, “How is Freyja?”
He lowered his head and replied, “She‘s still inside there.” The doctor came out and asked,
“Who‘s Ms. Pruitt‘s family?”
Colton replied, “I am.”
The doctor looked at him and said in a stern voice, “Ms. Pruitt is expected to give birth in
the next few days, but I would like to remind you that the normal due date is 40 weeks, so
Ms. Pruitt‘s delivery at 34 weeks is considered premature birth. The baby will be weaker
compared to a full–term baby and will easily get infected by diseases, so I hope you‘ll be
prepared.”
Colton pressed his lips tightly and looked at the doctor. “Will she be in danger?”
The doctor was momentarily stunned and laughed. “The risk for pregnant women is only in
the delivery process, but I assure you that we‘ll do our best to keep the baby and the
mother safe.”
He hesitated for a moment before asking, “Then will it be painful?” Maisie chuckled. “Is that
you or Freyja that‘s giving birth?” The doctor laughed as well and replied, “It varies from
person to person, but giving birth to a baby is a process every woman must go through.
They‘ll need to hang on to the pain until it‘s over. If you‘re worried about your wife, then
treat her better in the future.”
After the doctor left, Maisie placed her hand on Colton‘s shoulder. “Did you hear what the
doctor said? If you‘re worried for her, then you need to treat her well in the future. Put aside
all your work and keep her company for the time being until the baby is born.”
Colton lowered his head and nodded.
After Colton went into the ward to look after Freyja, Nolan suddenly held Maisie‘s shoulder
and leaned closer to her. “Was it painful when you gave birth to them that year?”
Maisie crossed her arms in front of her chest and turned around to look at him. “Do you
know what people would usually say to people like you?” He chuckled. “What is it?” She
kept her smile away and said, “Monday–morning quarterback.”
Nolan was caught between tears and laughter. He hugged her even tighter in his arms and

Maisie pretended to be angry and said, “Well, I‘m telling you now, I was in so much pain
that I didn‘t want to give birth to them anymore.” Nolan kissed the top of her head and said,
“But I still want to thank you, Maisie. Thank you for bringing them into my life.” She
harrumphed and said, “Stop being so sentimental.” The smile on his face deepened.
Leonardo did not know if he should stay or leave. He was embarrassed as he felt he
shouldn‘t stay there anymore since he was the only one who did not have a wife or
girlfriend. The silver lining was that a call came and “saved” him.
Inside the ward... Colton was sitting next to Freyja‘s bed. There would be sporadic pain in
Freyja‘s stomach, and her waist was sore to the bone. “Is the baby coming out soon?”
Colton comforted her. “Don‘t worry. I’ll be here with you.” She was stunned. “You‘ll be here
with me?” He nodded seriously. Freyja put a pillow behind her so that she could lean as
comfortably as possible. “Is the sun coming out of the west?“. Colton pinched her cheek
and said, “How can you question me when I said I‘ll stay with you?”
