William Don heard that his daughter went into labor and rushed out without even putting on socks, wearing his down jacket over his pajamas, and drove out.
Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the hospital, sweating profusely.
Even though Oliver Bloom repeatedly assured him over the phone that Elise Don was just relying on him, William Don was still scared out of his wits.
He entered the ward and found that his daughter was indeed progressing normally, which instantly relieved him. At that moment, he couldn't care about anything else; except for the internal examination which required him to leave, he stayed right beside Elise Don without leaving her side.
Finally, eight hours later, as dawn broke, the cries of a newborn echoed from the delivery room.
Oliver Bloom rubbed his dry and weary eyes, stood up from the bench outside the corridor, and hesitated for a moment instead of rushing in.
He wasn't sure if Elise Don would welcome him.
