Chapter 270: The Person She Is Waiting For

They had a happy holiday, but on the next day, Margaret went back to Anderson’s house.

Seeing her huffing and puffing, Hilla couldn’t help but ask, “Did the Jorgansens bully you?”

Generally speaking, the Jorgansens should not turn on Margaret.

However, the Anderson family was different from the past. Hilla couldn’t help but clench her hands when she saw Margaret’s aggrieved look.

Even if Bruce was not here, she would not allow outsiders to bully the Andersons.

“They dare to bully me! Hilla, I don’t want to marry Julian. Do you think there is a way to break off the engagement?”

Now that she thought of that man, she gnashed her teeth in hatred. He not only cut off her allowance but also complained to Orlenna. She was scolded by Orlenna as soon as she came back.

This kind of man who would tattle was narrow-minded, despicable, shameless, and bad.

Hilla frowned. She was powerless to help Margaret.

In the past, they had never objected to this marriage, not to mention now that Bruce was not around. The Anderson family still had to rely on the Jorgansen family.

Without the help from the Jorgansen family, the Anderson family would probably become a mess.

“Margaret, Julian is a good man. Are you biased against him? If you don’t like him, then I will tell Mom that you can get married later.”

Marriage was a big deal. If Margaret was unwilling in the end, Hilla felt that she needed to persuade Orlenna. After all, forced love did not last, let alone this kind of marriage based on business interests.

Back then, Hilla married Bruce with despair, but Margaret was different. The Anderson family was not that poor. Even if it was worse, the wealth of the Anderson family was enough for them to live an ordinary life.

“Can I not marry him?”

“I can only give it a try. At most, I can delay the wedding date. You can understand Julian’s character more at this time. I think if you like him, maybe…”

Maybe Margaret would have a happy marriage.

Orlenna agreed to this marriage because she was very clear that the Anderson family would be in great turmoil for the next few decades without Bruce. She wanted to find stable support for Margaret.

Although she was now familiar with Julian, Orlenna was not a fool. She had lived for

so many years and still had a good eye for people.

“Alright, alright, alright. As long as the wedding date can be delayed, I am willing to cut off my allowance.”

Hilla thought, “Your allowance works the most.

The Anderson Group was busy after the holiday, and Orlenna had no time to care about Margaret’s marriage.

Orlenna agreed to delay the wedding date when Hilla asked. As time went on, Hilla’s belly gradually grew bigger, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day for delivery.

Although Halle had always been by her side, Hilla was pregnant with twins and had been hospitalized for a long time.

“Halle, I’m a little scared!”

Hilla would grab Halle’s hand and say in a spoiled manner.

At this time, Halle would hold her hand and comfort her. “Don’t worry. I will always be with you.”

As soon as Halle finished speaking, Margaret also came over and touched Hilla’s belly. “Hilla, I will be with you, too.”

Hilla smiled. She looked at the two people in front of her and said, “With you guys here, I won’t be so scared anymore.”

Margaret turned to look at Halle with a curious expression. “Halle, will you lose consciousness when you give birth to a child? Did you give birth to a child in your sleep?”

Margaret didn’t see Halle give birth before. She just felt that the technology was so advanced that the cesarean section should be so easy. Like giving the mother anesthesia and she fell asleep, and when she woke up, the child would be born.

It couldn’t be any easier.

Halle smiled. “Even if it’s a cesarean section, but it will hurt terribly after childbirth.”

Margaret immediately widened her eyes in shock. “Is it really painful?”

Then she would better not give birth in the future.

Halle looked at Margaret’s nervous expression and nodded. “It hurts.”

Margaret grabbed Hilla’s hand and comforted, “Hilla, you’re giving birth to a child for the Anderson family. The Andersons must treat you well. In the future, all the family property will belong to your son.”

Even if she wanted to take the property, Orlenna wouldn’t agree.

Hilla, who was originally very nervous, couldn’t help but laugh when she heard Margaret’s words.

She had been admitted to the hospital early, and two days later she would have the

baby through a cesarean section.

Hilla had been at ease in the hospital these past two days, but she couldn’t help but feel a little nervous when he saw those pregnant women coming out of the delivery room.

Some of those people were in unbearable pain because of the natural delivery, and some were crying weakly on the sickbed after a C-section.

Hilla was tense. Although Orlenna, Margaret, and Halle accompanied her every day, she still felt worried.

Halle watched as Hilla groped the ring on the ring finger from time to time.

She knew about that ring, and it was given to Hilla by Bruce.

Now, it was unknown whether Bruce was alive or dead, and no one heard from him for a few months. Hilla was still unwilling to give up!

Halle didn’t know how to comfort Hilla. She knew Hilla couldn’t give up.

“Don’t worry. Orlenna has arranged everything very carefully. We won’t let you be in danger.”

Halle wanted to distract Hilla.

Hilla nodded, but he couldn’t help but ask, “Halle, do you think he knows?”

He?

Halle frowned. She understood who Hilla was talking about, but she was a bit confused.

Hilla bit her lip and said, “He didn’t come back on New Year’s Day. He also didn’t come back until now. He said that he would come back in two months, but he didn’t. He broke his promise. But our child will be born soon. Will he come back?”

Indeed, Hilla was thinking of Bruce.

Halle was upset. Hilla lowered her head, and her whole body seemed to emit a nervous and sad aura. Halle felt distressed.

“Hilla…”

Halle pursed her lips and whispered, “You still have us. I will take good care of you.”

Even without the Andersons, she would take good care of Hilla and the two children. These years, Halle had put all her attention on the studio. She knew that no one could be relied on in the world, but she could rely on herself.

“Halle, I miss him!”

Hilla raised her head, her eyes red. Halle felt a burst of bitterness in her heart, so she could only grab her hand to comfort her.

“I know that.”

“Our child is about to be born. Why isn’t he back yet? Is he really not coming back?”

For the past few months, Hilla had not mentioned Bruce. Everyone thought that she had already let go of this matter and was no longer sad. However, Halle knew that Hilla had hold back all of her sadness.

When the child was born, Hilla wanted to tell others that she missed Bruce. She really missed him.

She wanted Bruce to be with her when she was giving birth, even if he was standing outside the door!

…

Halle felt a pang in her heart. Looking at Hilla’s sad face, she felt her throat tighten.

It had been a few months, and she knew that Hilla had missed him to the limit.

In the past few months, Hilla had tried to eat, drink, sleep, and rest well. She was obedient like a good girl, just so that the children in her belly could be safely delivered.

Now that the children were about to be born, Halle knew that Hilla couldn’t hold back anymore and she needed to blow off steam.

“Halle, I dream of him every night. I dream that he is back and sitting by my bed. I dream that he is holding our children and smiling.

“I know that he will come back.

“Halle, do you also think that I am very silly? But I miss him. I can’t help but miss him. Every night when I close my eyes, I think about him and I can’t get him out of my mind.

“I don’t dare to tell others. I don’t dare to cry, and I don’t dare to let anyone know that I miss him.

“I know that if I show my sadness, Mother will be sadder, and the Andersons will be distressed.”

Hilla was nestled in Halle’s arms. It seemed that she wanted to tell Halle all her thoughts and grievances that she had been suppressing these days.

She missed Bruce. Even if she couldn’t say it out, she was missing him.

Halle hugged Hilla lovingly and held her tightly in her arms to comfort her. “I know that.

“You are tough. You are sensible.”

“Halle, why is he still not back?”

Hilla cried silently. She knew she shouldn’t cry. She was going to give birth soon. She should control her emotions and not be too excited.

But Bruce promised to come back. Now their children were about to be born, why he was still not back?

“He will come back. He will come back.”

Halle comforted Hilla in a low voice. Halle knew that she didn’t believe these words, let alone Hilla.

If Bruce could come back, he would have come back a long time ago.

Although they couldn’t find Bruce’s body, it seemed that he was dead since he disappeared for such a long time.

All of them were well aware of this, but none of them dared to say it out loud.

However, Hilla firmly believed that Bruce would come back.

“Halle, I want him to come back to watch our children be born. I want him to stay with me when I leave the operation room.

“I want him to stay with me, I…”

Hilla’s cry was filled with depression and pain.

She was sobbing, which distressed Halle.

Outside the door, Orlenna turned her head and quietly wiped off her tears.

The inside of the door gradually became quiet after a while. Only then did Orlenna calm down and wiped her tears. And then she pushed open the door of the ward with a smile.

“Hilla, look, I bring you some delicious food today.”

Orlenna came in with a big bag of apples and a bottle of chicken soup.

“This chicken was raised on a farm. It grew naturally. It tastes good.”

Orlenna said as if she was a salesman. Hilla pursed her lips with a faint smile as if she didn’t break down just now.

Halle went forward, picked up the apples, and went to clean them. “The apples are fresh. I’ll go and wash some for you.”

There were only Hilla and Orlenna in the room. Orlenna poured Hilla a bowl of chicken soup.

“Hurry up and try it. I just made it today.”

“Mother, you are busy with the business of the company. You don’t have to take care of me like this. There are servants at home, and they will prepare all of these. It is too hard for you to cook for me.”

“It doesn’t matter. When I think that my grandson is about to be born, I am happy and not tired at all. Moreover, the company has those managers. I don’t need to worry about it.

“I give them so many bonuses every year. Don’t tell me they’re not capable at the critical moment. Don’t worry about the company. I’m the happiest if you give birth safely.”

With a satisfied smile on her face, Orlenna fixed her gaze on Hilla’s big belly.

A belly with twins was indeed much bigger. In the later stages of pregnancy, Hilla was having a hard time.

It was hard to be pregnant with twins. Hilla was sensible and did not cause Orlenna any trouble, and she never complained.

Orlenna sat by Hilla’s bedside, her hands tightly holding Hilla’s hand.

Tears welled up in her eyes. “Hilla, I know Bruce has wronged you. The Anderson family has dragged you down.”

Hilla was only in her twenties and was very young. If she did not give birth to these two children, she could live the life she wanted.

Even if Hilla had given birth to the twins, she didn’t need to stay with the Andersons.

She was so young and she should not be widowed so early.

Orlenna thought of the days she had been widowed all these years and then looked at Hilla, who was younger than her. She felt even more upset.

“Mother, what are you talking about? The Andersons are my family. Am I not a member of the Anderson family?”

Her surname was Holt, but she had long married Bruce. She had long regarded herself as a member of the Anderson family.

“When I married Bruce, you said that I was wronged. But I was not wronged at all. It was the Andersons who gave me a good life. You took me in when I was at my lowest so that I didn’t need to live on the streets. And you even gave me the status of Mrs. Anderson. I have been very happy these two years.

“I know that Bruce has only been with me for a short time, but I remember all of that. I have a good life in the Anderson family. Even without Bruce, I still have you and Margaret. In the future, I will have two cute children. I can still live a good life with them and you.

“It was the Andersons who gave me a place that can shelter me from the wind and rain. Are you going to drive me away after I give birth?”

Hilla blinked, her eyes full of grievance and tears.

“Of course not. I hope you can stay in the Anderson family!”

Orlenna couldn’t help but wipe the tears off her face.

“I know you are a good girl. Since I first saw you, I knew that you were a good girl.”

When Halle came back, she ignored their red eyes. She put the apples beside Hilla.

The apples were very fresh, and Hilla ate a lot of them at once. She let off stream as she ate.

Soon, it was the day of Hilla’s C-section.

Outside the delivery room, Orlenna and Halle had been holding Hilla’s hand tightly and kept reminding her, “Hilla, don’t be afraid. I’ll stay outside. You can come out in a while.”

“Don’t be nervous. Just take a nap as Margaret said.” Halle, who was standing to the side, said.

Hilla nodded and allowed the nurses and the doctors to slowly push her into the operating room. Her gaze was fixed on the corridor outside the operating room.

She was missing him. She had been waiting for him. He promised he would see their children to be born. But he didn’t come back in the end!
