"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. You were happy just now, weren't you?"
James thought, "But you're still laughing and your son goes against me!"
"Don't be like this." Elizabeth pulled his hand, "Let's go in, okay?"
James looked at her gloomily, but he nodded lightly, "Okay."
He held Elizabeth's hand and said sullenly, "Don't be in a hurry and walk slowly."
"I know." Elizabeth nodded, "Besides, how fast can I walk now?"
Elizabeth held the swing with her other hand to prevent it from swaying and said, "You don't have to pull me up. I can get up by myself. Take the flower, and I'll take it back to our bedroom later."
"Stand up first."
James didn't let go of Elizabeth's hand until she stood firm. Then he went to get the bunch of flowers on the swing, "Alright, we can go in now."
"Mm." Elizabeth nodded and then was ready to walk forward.
James took Elizabeth's arm with one hand, "Take your time. Don't hurry."
Elizabeth did not speak, but she did not move.
James tilted his head to look at her, "Honey, what's wrong?"
Elizabeth frowned, "Let me feel it."
James heard it and felt strange. Feel? Feel what? Did she want to feel his hand? But took her hand every day, didn't he?
He stared at Elizabeth's face and naturally saw all her expressions.
Elizabeth knitted her eyebrows tightly and smoothed it, but she frowned again in less than two seconds, and it seemed that... she frowned harder.
James suddenly felt nervous, and he was no longer as relaxed as he was just now.
"Honey, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"
Elizabeth opened her mouth, but she said with hesitation after a while, "James..."
"What?"
"Well... It is moving in my belly..."
James looked down and stared at Elizabeth's belly.
Yeah, it was moving!
"Is it turning over again?"
"I don't think so..."
"What's the matter?"
"I just... feel a little pain in my belly."
"Are you calling the hospital?" Her voice was a little weak.
Hearing this, James came to sense.
D*mn it! Elizabeth's forehead was sweating, but what was he doing?
He cursed himself in heart, and then quickly put the phone into his trouser pocket, "No, honey, I..." He didn't dare to say what he was thinking just now and only said, "Honey, sit down first!"
At this time, shouldn't James call the doctor? Wasn't he calling the hospital just now?
Besides, even if he listened to the doctor and wanted to observe if she was going to give birth before making a phone call, shouldn't he ask her to go into the house first? Why did he let her sit here?
"Honey..." James closed his eyes and tried to calm down, "Don't worry! I'm here! I'm by your side! Let's do according to what the teacher said in class. Come on. Let's..."
But what did the teacher say in class? Why couldn't he remember anything?
He shook his head violently, "I'll do as the books say. Don't panic..."
What did the books say? Didn't he remember it very clearly before? He completely didn't know what to do at this time.
What did Dr. Shen say? He... couldn't remember...
Looking at Elizabeth's knitted eyebrows, he was very anxious, but his mind was blank. He really didn't remember what he had learnt. He couldn't say anything useful, but kept saying uneasily, "Don't be nervous..."
He was the most nervous one at this time.
Looking at James like this, Elizabeth knew that he was in panic. She understood him, so she wanted to remind him that he should call the hospital or go in to call someone, because she could know that... she was really going to give birth based on what she had learnt.
