Revenge Against My Ex-husband novel Chapter 247

Lily and Joanne left delightfully the moment they saw the miscarriage. However, they did not expect to be faced with a swarm of police officers after they opened the door. Both Lily and Joanne were immediately subdued, and the masked pregnant woman was carried out. Joanne and Lily were shocked to find out that the pregnant woman they had beaten up was not Irene but a stranger.

"What's going on?" Lily pointed at the stranger woman and asked Wayne angrily.

"What are you talking about? Isn't she the woman that you had asked me to kidnap?" Wayne retorted.

"Y-you! How dare you lie to me?" Even an idiot would know that Lily had been set up. However, she had found out too late. The police put Joanna and Lily under charges for kidnapping with murder intent.

According to Article 239 of the Criminal Law, anyone found kidnapping another person or holding them as hostage for the purpose of extorting property would be sentenced to more than ten years imprisonment or life imprisonment, and would be fined or confiscated of all assets. If the kidnapping resulted in the death or murder of the hostage, the person would be sentenced to death and have their property confiscated.

The police believed that the kidnapping posed a significant threat to the intended victim, which had even resulted in a miscarriage. Hence, they decided that Lily and Joanne should be sentenced to death.

After being appealed by a lawyer, they were sentenced to life imprisonment. So, Lily and Joanne were to be locked up in jail for the rest of their lives.

In fact, the whole scenario had been planned by Edric and Jordan. They took great precautions when Joanne returned to Haverland. They had planned to let her off if Joanne behaved well. After all, getting rid of her would mean avoiding any trouble appearing in the future. However, in the end, Joanne had indeed been up to no good and had gone to look for Lily. Edric knew immediately about their discussion to target Irene. Since those two brats intended to dig their own grave, they might as well fulfill their dream. Hence, they had planned the whole act and sent them to jail.

That pregnant woman was not really pregnant. It was all just a play.

After Joanne and Lily's matters were done and dusted, it was almost time for Irene's delivery. Edric went to prepare for Eden's stem cell operation. He hired the best hematologist and gynecologist to complete Irene's delivery and Eden's blood transfusion in the same hospital.

Eden was sent into the ward nine days before and had to undergo eight chemotherapy-filled days as planned. He was isolated from the outside world, and no one could enter his room except for the medical staff.

After eight days of chemotherapy and a day's suspension of medicine, it was the day of the surgery.

On the day of Eden's operation, Irene underwent a cesarean delivery in the operating room. Eden had been delivered naturally, but for the sake of Eden's stem cell surgery, Irene had to proceed with a C-section surgery instead. She was given anesthesia on the operating table, but she was still fully conscious. She could listen to the cutting sound on her skin, but her courage did not waver. Instead, all she had in mind was the wellbeing of her children.

Edric was guarding outside the operating room and he witnessed the entire surgery. It was a moment for him to witness a new life being born. When he saw with his own eyes the baby being taken out, he could not hold himself and felt too emotional. Tears welled up in his eyes instantly.

The nurse was busy measuring the height of the newborn while the doctor was taking the umbilical blood. Irene tried to see the child's appearance clearly upon hearing the clear sound of her baby crying. Edric noticed Irene's movements and whispered in her ears, "Irene, it's a boy, and he's a healthy baby. The doctor is taking the umbilical blood to treat Eden. You've worked hard!"

After finishing his words, he planted a kiss on Irene's forehead. The baby was wrapped up and placed in Edric's arms. Edric walked out with the baby in his embrace as Margaret, Kinsey, and Rowane waited outside of the operating room anxiously.

Margaret was the first to rush forward to carry the baby when Edric walked out, "My grandson! Oh, it's my grandson!"

Then, she asked Edric, "How's Irene?"

"Irene is fine. She will be out soon after they close her up." Edric answered, "Mom, you take care of Irene. I'll go and see Eden."

Margaret nodded. Rowane and Kinsey held on to the baby while waiting for Irene outside of the operating theatre.

The doctor took the blood of the umbilical cord for Eden's transplant. Eden's transplant was next to Irene's operating room for convenience. Irene was undergoing the final sutures when Eden began the blood transplant.

The attending surgeon had a quick meeting about the surgery before leading the surgery for the transplant into Eden's body. As the catheter was inserted into the body through the clavicle, the primary operation was to transfer the blood from the umbilical cord through the central vein. The doctor estimated that the transplant would be completed in half an hour.

Edric stood outside of the operating theatre nervously as he observed his son behind a thin layer of glass. The surgeon was transfusing the umbilical blood into Eden's body through the central vein. During the process, some gases were produced in Eden's body in reaction to the transplant, and there were signs of discomfort. Eden struggled in pain, and his facial expression showed pain. The attending surgeon wanted Eden to cry out loud in order for him to exhale harshly to expel the gases.

Eden's cry tore Edric's heart. If only he could be the one to bear all the pain! He pulled on his hair strands in pain. Jordan and Nathan held his hands upon witnessing Edric's actions, trying to cheer with Edric for Eden.

The heart-wrenching scene finally ended. The blood from the cord was completely transferred, and Eden's heart was pumping in order. Everything had gone smoothly, and the heavy burden on Edric's shoulder finally dropped.

After the surgeon left the room, Edric held his hand and thanked him.

Irene had been trying to stay awake. She really wanted to know how Eden's operation went, but there was no way for her to resist the anesthesia. She was exhausted from exerting so much strength. She could only hear a soft whisper beside her. It was Edric's voice. He whispered, "Irene, rest assured, our child will be fine. You can sleep without worrying. Everything will be fine when you wake up!"

Irene did not know how long she slept. She did not even realize when she had been pushed into the ward, but she could faintly hear familiar voices around her. There were voices coming from Kinsey, Rowane, Margaret, and of course, Edric.

She tried her best to open her eyes and saw the people in the ward surrounding her. When Irene opened her eyes, Edric came over immediately. He reached out and held Irene's hand with a big smile on his face, "Irene, you're awake?"

"Eden! How's Eden?" Irene was most concerned about Eden's operation.

"Eden's surgery went extremely smoothly. Don't worry!" Edric answered immediately.

"It's good that everything went well!" Irene thought and felt relieved instantly. As long as Eden's surgery went well, she would not be worried anymore.

Margaret approached with the baby in her arms, "Irene, the baby's weight is three and a half kilograms, and he's healthy. Have a look at him!"

Irene chuckled when she saw the chubby baby in Margaret's arms.

Kinsey, Rowane, Nathan, and Jordan came to congratulate her. Irene thanked each of them for their concern. After chatting for a while in the ward, everyone left. Edric remembered that Irene had not eaten for a long time and felt worried, "Irene, are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry!" Irene was famished after not eating anything for quite some time.
