The sound grew quieter and made his heart leap to his throat, holding his breath completely...
Emma Benson had been in labor all afternoon, and just as Elijah Schmidt and his wife arrived home, the child was finally born.
Accompanied by the loud "Whaa—" of a baby's cry, everyone outside the delivery room collectively breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles spread across their faces as they congratulated Walter Schmidt and Elijah Schmidt's couple.
Elijah Schmidt and Julia Anderson were overjoyed, especially Julia who was moved to tears. Kaitlyn Webb also cried because she's seen Emma Benson struggle on the brink of death, which made her particularly emotional, sobbing loudly.
Morgan Benson hugged her, gently comforting her, patting her back, his eyes reddening too.
Everyone was joyous, except Walter Schmidt who maintained a composed handsome face, his expression still somewhat dazed, radiating an icy aura that gave a strong sense of pressure.
