Chapter 1521
Following that, Sam entered the delivery room with Olivia. Sam and Ollie's parents waited outside anxiously. Brenda even felt a little embarrassed when she heard that Sam was going into the delivery room with Ollie.
"Hey, is it appropriate for the husband to be there when a woman is giving birth?"
Emma, who was standing next to her, quickly answered, "Of course, it's appropriate. That's how he will know about the pain she has to endure for giving birth to his child. Besides, they are a couple anyway. There is nothing inappropriate about it. Don't worry."
Although Brenda had experienced the process of giving birth herself, she couldn't help but to feel anxious as her daughter was going to go through the same thing. She paced around in the waiting room anxiously.
In the end, Karl had to stop her.
"Stop pacing around, it's making me dizzy."
"I wasn't pacing around. I'm just worried about our daughter. Ollie is afraid of pain. Sigh."
"Don't worry. She's no longer a little girl after today. She's going to be a mother. She'll be strong."
"That's true."
"Brenda, don't worry. Sam is with Ollie. Both she and the baby will be safe. Everything will go smoothly."
While the doctor was preparing, Sam accompanied Olivia.
She grabbed his hand as she had a sudden thought. She whispered to Sam, "Come closer. I have something to ask you."
He was obedient to her while they were in the delivery room. He immediately leaned over to her and asked, "What is it?"
"Whom was the person in the supermarket whom you sent to the hospital that day?"
Sam's body froze and he looked at her slightly in disbelief. Why was she asking that then?
Could it be that she already found out that it was Vera?
"Why? Didn't you say that she was a stranger? Was she really a stranger? Is she not one of your mistresses?"
Olivia joked. Her expression changed suddenly and she looked painful. "It's just one question. Entertain me, please?"
Sam was anxious when he saw her painful expression. He wanted to tell her what happened that day. In actual fact, he did tell the incident to Ollie once, but she fell asleep.
Hence, he didn't mention it again.
It was an ordinary encounter. Ollie would surely overthink if it was brought up repeatedly.
After all, the relationship between him and Vera had been a relatively sensitive issue.
As Olivia was going into labor then, he did not want to cause further problems. He said quickly, "Of course I will answer you. It was just a stranger. She accidentally ran into me and fell down. I wanted to tell you first, but she was rushing to go to the hospital. I couldn't bear to see her in that state, so I brought her instead."
After that, he half kneeled down and looked her in the eyes. "Ollie, I am telling the truth. That was what happened that day. I didn't intentionally leave you behind on your own that day. I even went back to the supermarket to look for you."
"Okay." She nodded with a smile, "Okay, I got it."
She looked as if nothing was out of the ordinary and that she had accepted his explanation. Yet, he still felt uneasy somehow.
He held her hand. "No matter what, you are the most important person in my life. Don't overthink it, okay?"
"Okay."
The unease in his heart was amplified.
It went on until Olivia was done giving birth. Olivia was afraid of pain, so she didn't want to have a cesarean section. The thought of cutting her belly open made her break out in cold sweats.
Hence, she opted for natural delivery that time.
However, as the baby was too huge and the delivery couldn't go on smoothly, they had no choice but to deliver the baby by cesarean section.
Olivia was still unconscious when the baby was born. The doctor handed the baby to Sam, but he barely gave him a glance. He looked at Olivia nervously while holding her hand tightly.
She had sacrificed way too much for him.
Olivia had been going in and out of consciousness for a long time. In her half conscious state, she felt that she was floating in the ocean, but someone had been holding her hand tightly throughout the entire time.

Her hand was being held so tight as if that person was afraid that she might disappear suddenly.
Sam was still holding her hand tightly even after she regained consciousness. Their gazes met the moment she opened her eyes.
He was both surprised and moved to see her finally waking up, and even his eyes reddened.
"You finally woke up.'
Olivia had mixed feelings as she looked at him. She smiled at him gently.
"Yes, I am awake. Have you been here all this time?"
He did not answer.
She asked again, "Have you not left at all and have you stayed in this position the entire time?"
He wanted to deny, but he was exposed as he yelped softly when he felt pins and needles shot through his legs while he moved his leg. Olivia looked at him helplessly.
"You shouldn't have stayed. This is the hospital. Even if something were to happen to me, you wouldn't get the chance to be in the same room as me. Why are you so anxious?"
Sam did not answer. He slowly propped himself up on the edge of the bed with his hands. He didn't notice before, but he realized that his legs were extremely numb and painful after Olivia brought it up.
"Are you okay? Perhaps try giving it a little massage." "Yes, I'm fine." The numbing pain was insignificant compared to the pain Olivia had endured when giving birth to his child.
She looked much better then. He thought that it was time to tell her the truth.
"Didn't you ask me who I met in the supermarket before?"
Olivia didn't expect him to bring it up
again on his own. She thought he didn't want to talk about it anymore, causing her breathing to quicken She took a deep breath and said, "Yes, but didn't you tell me already? Let's stop talking about it." belongs to NovelDrama.Org
She did not want to talk about it repeatedly.

He did not tell the truth despite her asking and regardless if it was because of his guilt or otherwise, she did not want to waste her time pondering on it anymore.

"No, I have to." He looked at her seriously. "This is very important. I didn't tell you the truth before because I was afraid that you would overthink, but I think I should let you know now."
Before she could continue, he started telling her regarding what happened that day.
"It was Vera that ran into me that
day. Quill had a car accident. She sprained her ankle when she ran into
me. I wanted to go in and look for you, but she seemed to have lost her mind and just wanted to run outside. I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I took her to the hospital, but I swear that there was
nothing between us anymore."
He told the story seriously and attentively, fearing that he might get Olivia angry if he missed out any detail in his explanation.
Olivia observed his expression and intonation as he explained himself.
"Wasn't there nothing between you two to begin with?"
She had never liked him. It was his one-sided infatuation towards her, and he was obsessed with her. He had even gotten himself drunk because of
that.
Both of them had never had anything to start with.
Olivia thought to herself. However, she couldn't shake the thought that he still prioritised Vera over her even though there was nothing between them.
