Diana thought to herself, “Eric really is Queenie’s loyal lapdog.
As long as he keeps his distance from me, I’m fine.
With Paula’s skills, Jeff won’t get a dime.
She’s been plotting for nearly a year, and now it’s time to act. All she wants is a divorce.
Once that happens, Jeff’s scandals will come to light, and he’ll end up with nothing.
As for Queenie, Paula can’t touch her; she’s got Andrew backing her up.
Paula knows that, too, but she won’t let Jeff and his daughter have an easy time of it. I’m just here for the show.”
After thanking the servant who had sent the video, Diana set her phone aside and returned to her work.
Meanwhile, Althea wasn’t feeling too great. After a brief nap, she woke up with a sore back and decided to take a stroll around her
room.
The thought of going into labor filled her with excitement.
Outside, the snow had stopped, but fog blanketed the sea,

obscuring any sense of direction.
Fishing boats bobbed alone in the mist.
As Althea listened to music, she paced back and forth in her room, taking breaks to sit down whenever she felt tired.
By the afternoon, a dull ache settled in her lower abdomen.
Having read plenty of experiences shared by expectant mothers and doctors, she reassured herself that she still had some time. before giving birth.
Feeling manageable discomfort, Althea decided to seek out
Diana.
She knew Diana was a doctor, and the thought of having Diana. nearby made her happy.
Knocking on Diana’s door, she waited impatiently.
Diana quickly swung the door open, concern etched on her face.
“Althea, are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Althea nodded, her voice shaky. “Diana, you were right. I’m starting to feel the effects, and my belly is beginning to hurt.”
Diana immediately performed a quick check and said, “You’re definitely in labor, Althea.
“Don’t panic! Let’s head to the hospital right now. We need to

“Okay! I reserved a VIP room, and I’ve already brought NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
everything I need for the delivery. Let’s go!” Althea replied, excitement bubbling in her voice.
Diana helped her put on a hat and mask, and together, they made their way downstairs to the hospital.
Across the street, Penelope sat by her window, scrolling through her phone while waiting for Althea to come down.
She had expected Althea to take a few more days, so she was surprised to see Althea emerge that afternoon.
As she watched Diana guide Althea into the hospital, Penelope’s eyes gleamed with calculation.
“Perfect! My aunt works at that hospital. If I can get my hands. on Althea’s baby, I can squeeze some cash out of her.
Althea’s hiding here to keep Gale from finding out about the child.”
Without wasting a moment, she messaged her aunt before heading downstairs for dinner.
Meanwhile, Althea checked into her hospital room, waiting for her contractions to progress.
The doctor confirmed that she was well–suited for a natural delivery.

Around seven, Diana brought a simple dinner for them to share.
Althea could manage the pain at that time, but beads of sweat began to form on her forehead.
She knew that giving birth wasn’t about screaming; it was about enduring the pain quietly. Yelling would only sap her strength.
“Althea, here, take this medication,” Diana said, glancing at the clock.
She handed Althea a pill to help ease her discomfort.
Trusting her completely, Althea swallowed the medication and resumed her pacing in the room.
Waves of pain hit her, and she fought back tears.
“Diana, it hurts so much,” Althea said, wiping sweat from her brow, though she managed a smile.
Diana felt a pang of sympathy. “Althea, hang in there. It’s going to be tough, but once the baby is here, the pain will fade. You’ve got this; your little one will be adorable.”
Diana encouraged her with a warm smile.
“Okay!” Althea replied, gritting her teeth but still managing to smile through the pain.
Outside the door, Penelope stood quietly, phone in hand,
