Love At The Wrong Table

The Arrival of New Life

On the other side, Emmanuel returned to the Eastern Star Mountain base with

Terence.

“Grandpa!”

“Thank goodness you’re alive, Grandpa!”

Seeing Terence, Mackenzie’s eyes welled up with tears, and Beatrix broke

down sobbing on the spot.

“Mackenzie, thank the heavens you and your baby are safe!” Terence was nearly moved to tears himself. He had once longed for a male heir to carry on the Quillen family name, but after all they had been through, that obsession had faded. Whether Mackenzie had a boy or a girl, whether they took the Lowe or Quillen name, none of it mattered anymore. All that

mattered was that they were alive and well.

After exchanging warm greetings with the family, Mackenzie turned to Emmanuel, urging him to explain everything that had happened that day.

“Do you really trust Gautier?” Mackenzie’s opinion aligned perfectly with

Emmanuel’s. She didn’t buy into Gautier’s talk of redemption or repaying

debts.

“He hasn’t slipped up yet, so let him keep acting,” Emmanuel said firmly. “If he wants to play the part, it saves us some effort, especially now when we have almost no one left to rely on in the business world.”

Mackenzie agreed with Emmanuel. They couldn’t kill without reason–what separated them from murderers otherwise? There was no proof Gautier had been involved in the Quillen family annihilation. And whatever his true

motives were, he had ultimately saved her grandfather’s life. Killing him

based on suspicion alone would be repaying kindness with cruelty and would-

likely earn them a bad reputation.

“Let’s have him start by returning the Quillen family’s assets,” Mackenzie

suggested, then turned to Terence. “Grandpa, I’m about to give birth soon.

You’ll need to hold down the fort for a while longer. Beatrix, Lexi, please do your best to assist Grandpa.”

Beatrix and Lexi both promised.

Terence reassured Mackenzie as well, “Relax, Mackenzie. I may be old, but I’m

not down yet. And I’ve noticed a few young talents recently–they’ve got good character and can be groomed for bigger roles. You just focus on delivering a healthy baby.”

“Yes, give us a strong, healthy baby.” Beatrix chimed in excitedly. “With you

and Emmanuel’s bloodline, he’ll surely grow up to be someone extraordinary!”

Mackenzie smiled and nodded but suddenly clutched her stomach in pain.

Talk about timing!

“Mackenzie, are you okay?” Emmanuel’s voice was full of concern as he

rushed to support her.

Move! Clear the way!”

Before anyone else could react, Laura stepped forward, pushing aside the

clueless men and women who hadn’t experienced childbirth. “Get some hot

water and towels ready–Mackenzie’s going into labor!”

Everyone was stunned, their faces a mix of excitement and shock.

Everyone’s expressions shifted to excitement and surprise. Terence

exclaimed in excitement, even more so, “Perfect timing! Just in time!” If he’d

been a day late, he would’ve missed this monumental moment–he wouldn’t

have seen his great–grandchild born firsthand!

“What are you all standing around for? Help me get Mackenzie to the delivery

S

room!” Laura barked, giving orders like a seasoned pro.

At that moment, even the Wolf Warrior himself had to obey her. He

immediately scooped up his wife and carried her to the prepared delivery

room.

“Hurry! Get the hot water!”

“What are you standing around for? The women should be helping Mackenzie

with the delivery!” Terence, now bursting with energy, started barking orders,

looking like he was 30 years younger.

“Oh, right! Got it!” Felicity Lenoir, Lexi, and Beatrix had no idea what to do, as

none of them had ever given birth before. Luckily, Laura was there to take charge, and Eve had already arranged for professional doctors and nurses to

deliver, so there was no need for them to panic.

Aside from Laura, the rest were pushed out of the room.

Emmanuel and Terence were beyond anxious, nervously pacing as time dragged on. But it was Beatrix who couldn’t handle the waiting. After hours had passed, from day to night, she finally broke down in tears outside the delivery room. “Why’s it taking so long? Isn’t having a baby supposed to be like going to the bathroom?”

Holy cow! What a thing to say! Everyone around her was stunned. Even

Felicity and Lexi, who had never given birth, were dumbfounded. Having a

baby was a far cry from having a decade–long constipation!
