Chapter 97 Struggle to Shed Tears
In a casino with dim lights, Grace is gambling.
Her excited voice has lost its sanity. At the beginning of the evening she is lucky and wins hundreds of
dollars, but later her luck gets worse and worse. She has less money and loses more.
"Grace, stop betting. Let's go back." Ryan grabs Grace's hand and wants to take her out of here.
Grace has lost a lot of money. If he doesn't pull her away, they will lose all their money! Nina is going to
have a baby. She needs a lot of money. Grace's life is extravagant. They spend a lot of money to make
a living. They are running out of money.
"Leave me alone!" Grace pushes Ryan's hand away. Her bloodshot eyes are fixed on the table.
Nina is alone in the apartment, packing up the things for labor. She touches the lovely little clothes and Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
hats with her hands. Her heart is full of tenderness.
Baby, you are coming to the world soon. Mom is looking forward to you. I hope you are a healthy and
beautiful baby.
Although you don't have a father, I will take care of you and give you all my love. Nina gently touches
her stomach. Her face is radiant with maternal love.
All of a sudden, there is a dull pain in her lower abdomen. Nina is a little nervous. Is she going to give
birth?
The doctor said that there is often false contractions when the due date is near, and Nina's tense mood
is relaxed.
According to the doctor, Nina lies on her back and begins to count the contractions. At first she has a
pain every half an hour. Then she has a pain every ten minutes. This is very consistent with the
symptoms of childbirth!
But now she's the only one in the house! Nina's a little nervous. She grabs her cell phone and calls
Grace.
The monotonous busy tone echoes in her ear, and no one answers the phone.
Then Nina calls Ryan but no one answers.
The loud music in the casino completely hides the ring of the mobile phone, and Grace is gambling
excitedly. Ryan stands by her helplessly. They don't notice that the phone in the bag is ringing faintly.
The pain interval has become shorter and shorter, and Nina knows she's going to give birth. Nina gets
out of bed and packs her bag. She puts the small clothes, milk bottles and maternity supplies neatly in
the big bag prepared in advance.
The pain has become unbearable, and the sweat on Nina's forehead gradually turns into a big one and
drops down her pale cheek.
Grace, where are you? Nina calls Grace again, but she still can't get through.
It's too late. Nina reaches out her trembling hand and uses her last strength to dial the emergency call
from the hospital.
By the time Grace and Ryan get to the hospital, Nina is in the operating room.
"Doctor, how is my sister?" Grace asks, a little annoyed. She was winning but Ryan pulled her out of
the casino. Nina texted that she was in the hospital and was about to give birth.
What a disappointment! She's not her own sister but she has to take care of her! She's losing all her
money today. She doesn't know if Nina has anything else of value. She has to find a way to get some
more money. Grace thinks.
The doctor says Nina will take a long time to give birth, and Grace and Ryan are watching TV in the
hospital hall.
This is a hospital for Chinese women. Doctors and nannys are all Chinese. Even TV programs focus on
Chinese news.
"It is said that the heir of Gray Family has returned to Chicago from City C and is ready to take over
Gray Family's consortium in full. He has been in charge of business Gray Family in city C. This time he
is recalled to Chicago by Grandpa Gray to choose a wife. President Gray is 27 years old and still
unmarried. He is rich and handsome!"
The news is on TV. Several people waiting for the patient begin to discuss in a low voice, "the heir of
Gray Family wants to choose a wife, which is actually Grandpa Gray wants to find a little heir for Gray
Family earlier. Lucien has always refused to marry, and Grandpa Gray is eager to have a great-
grandson!"
"Lucien?" Grace is listening carefully!
She hurries to the front and sits right in front of the TV, watching the news carefully.
It seems that Grandpa Gray really wants a great-grandson! Lucien's wife has to give birth to a small
heir to Gray Family.
Grace is happy! She comes up with a plan! "Ha ha." Grace can't help laughing smugly! God is good to
her!
Little heir? There will be a real little heir in the ward right away!
"Grace, why are you so happy?" Ryan is confused. Grace just lost a lot of money gambling at night.
Why does she laugh?
"Ryan, listen to me..." Grace whispers her plan to Ryan.
Ryan's eyes widen after listening. "Grace, are you crazy? Nina will hate you if she knows!"
Grace sneers and says, "if we don't, how can we survive in Chicago? We've run out of money and can
only wait to be driven away by the landlord!"
Ryan shakes his head and wants to say something more. Grace has jumped into his arms. "Ryan, don't
you love me the most? Don't you want me to have a good life?"
Grace takes all the jewels off her body and goes to the ATM to get a lot of money. She puts them in an
envelope and goes into the doctor's office.
In the delivery room, Nina does her best. She feels her consciousness disappearing. She hurts so
much that she bites her lips. Her slender fingers cling to the iron railing. She uses her last strength to
make a hoarse roar like a wild animal!
The warm liquid comes out of her body. She feels very relaxed. Nina knows her baby's out!
She is so tired that before she can even open her eyes to see her baby, she falla asleep.
In the office, the doctor stealthily hands Ryan a baby basket. Ryan doesn't say a word and goes out
with the basket.
Nina finally recovers a little when she wakes up. She opens her eyes and sees Grace sleeping in the
bed next to her.
"Grace!" Nina opens her mouth weakly and looks around the ward.
Why are only she and her sister in the ward? Where is her baby? Why isn't her baby by her side?
Grace wakes up. She is a little alarmed, but she soon calms down.
Grace rubs her eyes hard with her hands, trying to squeeze out a few tears. Her voice is miserable,
too. "Nina..."
Seeing Grace's expression, Nina suddenly has a bad premonition in her heart, "what's the matter?
Where is my baby?"
Grace starts to cry when she hears Nina, "Nina! Your baby..." Grace covers her face with her hands
and rubs her eyes desperately, hoping to make them red and squeeze out a few tears.
"What happened to my baby? Where is my baby? Is she ill? Is she in intensive care?" Nina's tears run
down her face.
Why is her baby so pitiful? She just comes out of her mother's womb and gets sick!
Grace cries, "Nina, your baby is dead!"
Nina thinks her front is black. She begins to have a headache as if she has been hit head on by a big
stick. She struggles to get up from bed, "what do you say! You say my baby is dead? Where's my
baby?" The more she says, the more frightened she is. She really doesn't want to hear any bad news!
"She was born with a disability. She was born dead!" Grace says it in tears.
Nina passes out.
In the grand and amazing Castle style building of Gray Family, the servant is reporting to Grandpa Gray
respectfully, "master, there is a woman outside who says she is the girlfriend of young master and has
just given birth to a son for master."
Grandpa Gray is sleepy playing chess with his servant. When he hears this, his eyes immediately flash
like 500 Watt light bulbs!
"A woman gave birth to a son for young master?" He is surprised.
His son doesn't care about the family business at all now. He's only interested in traveling around.
Lucien, his only grandson, is very capable. He can take over the business of Gray Family in the future,
but he is 27 years old and has no stable girlfriend! It seems almost impossible to expect him to marry.
He wants to have a great-grandson. He didn't expect a great grandson to come to him today!
"Let her in!" Grandpa Gray is so happy! Whether it's true or not, it's OK to have a gossip for fun. Lucien
and his father are cold. The family is very impersonal.
Grace hears that Grandpa Gray asks her in, and she smiles.
Grace wraps the baby's swaddle tightly and walks into the castle of Gray Family with the old
housekeeper.
This is a real castle with a high roof painted with magnificent color. It has black and gold furniture and
huge crystal chandeliers. There are expensive antiques and blooming flowers everywhere. The castle
is spectacular.
In the middle of the hall, in front of the fireplace sits an old man with white hair. Grace holds the baby in
her arms and walks towards him slowly.
