Chapter 416 - Danger
"I'm fine, hubby." said Hailee and explained, "Said that I would experience such difficulties in breathing, and it will be hard for me to have a proper sleep on some nights."
"Did you not have some sleep? Why didn't you wake me up? How long did you stay awake?" Vincent fires Hailee with a series of questions as worries written all over his face.
"You don't have to worry a lot. It says it's normal."
Hailee tried to pacify Vincent, but he insisted… "No. At least you wake me up to accompany you."
He is actually blaming himself for falling asleep so deep and didn't notice that Hailee was uncomfortable in her sleep.
Hailee lifted both of her arms, stretching toward Vincent, a sign that she wanted a hug. Vincent leaned over and embraced her, then kissed her forehead and hair.
"Please, wake me up if it happens in the future," said Vincent in a gentle, loving voice.
"You need a good night's sleep to deal with work. I will try to take a nap now." Hailee forced herself to respond cheerfully, not let Vincent notice her suffering. Even the truth is, she felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen, and her lower back was killing her.
"Do you like some milk? Are you hungry? I will get you a glass. I will ask Chef Han to make you a light breakfast."
Hailee nodded. "Okay."
Vincent helped Hailee find a comfortable position, placing more pillows on her back and her sides before he rushed to the kitchen and made a glass of warm milk.
While Vincent was at it, he quickly called Doctor Dave and summoned him to visit Hailee at Solaris Hotel.
"Wifey, here's the milk. It's a little hot, be careful." Vincent helped Hailee to sit up. He moved the pillows to support her lower back. He had seen the nannies doing this when his mom got pregnant with his sisters, and she couldn't breathe as her due was close.
Recalling that, Vincent was urged to call his mom and ask her if they could help Hailee from feeling uncomfortable and do something with her insomnia.
When Doctor Dave arrived, he immediately took Hailee a blood pressure and the basic check-up methods. He already asked his secretary to bring a new syringe and needles. He will draw Hailee some blood to test to determine her condition completely.
While Doctor Dave attends to Hailee, Vincent takes the opportunity to phone his mom. He went outside the presidential suite to make a phone call. Hilda was in a panic after she heard Vincent's news.
"Don't forget to massage Hailee, especially on her lower back. She must be in pain now. Also, with her hips and legs, surely she was feeling fatigued. I'll be there right away."
"Okay, mom." Vincent feels a little relief to know his mom is coming. He has no idea what he can do aside from the professionals' help, but he also believes in alternative ways to help Hailee feel better.
"Vincent! What happened?"
Vincent frowned. Pitt and James rushed toward him, and the two men look not fully sober up yet, and they still reek of alcohol.
"You shouldn't go inside. Hailee would only feel nauseated if she were to smell the both of you. Doctor Dave had already checked up on Hailee, and her nannies were attending her." He knew that these two were partying until morning, and probably they just slept a few hours ago. He then added, "You both better go take a shower, then drink some black coffee to sober up."
Both Pitt and James smell themselves, and they truly still reek with alcohol. But they can't leave without knowing if Hailee is fine.
"Why didn't you bring her to the hospital if she is not feeling well?" asked James.
"I wanted to. But Hailee doesn't want to. She said it would only stress her. She just wanted to take a rest here." replied Vincent.
Pitt and James shared a glance. Both seemed to have an idea why it was happening. They recalled the event last night. They were certain that it was what caused Hailee to feel anxious. Hailee requested them to say not a word to Vincent that she overheard his conversation with John. But in a situation like this, they were thinking it's not worth keeping a secret.
Pitt pondered for a moment to decide if they were to tell Vincent. But the door of the presidential suite opens, and Doctor Dave comes out.
"How is she, Doctor Dave?" Vincent queried the doctor right away. He was too worried he could not stay still where he stood.
"Mr. Shen, the princess's condition is getting difficult for her as she is reaching the trimester of her pregnancy. It was a dangerous stage for her. You have to remember that stressing her out is not advisable at all."
"Stress? Like what possible that would cause?" asked Vincent with a perplexed expression on his face.
He recalled last night if he did something that might upset Hailee, but she only kept it to herself. Unlike his mom, she would rant if she was displeased or angered by someone most of the time. So it was easy for them to determine his mom's moods.
But Hailee…
'Is socializing at the party actually upsets her?' Vincent thought as he was kind of lost now. If he had known, he would not have left her side for even a second! Now Hailee was showing danger in her pregnancy. That's what he concluded.
"Mr. Shen, I saw some signs of depression from the princess. You might fail to notice it, but I am his personal OB. Maybe coming to the city won't do good for her. She must stop working either until she gives birth and is ready to deal with some stressful matters."
"But I am not sure why she suddenly feels depressed and stressed?" said Vincent honestly.
Doctor Dave showed a slight disappointment hearing his remark. He already said to pay attention to his wife, but he told him he did not know.
"Maybe the princess is better staying in the mansion and less time dealing with company matters, or perhaps large gatherings could also irritate her. I heard from my daughter. The princess attended the birthday party last night."
When Doctor Dave mentioned that, Pitt and James shared a knowing look. In the end, they could no longer stay quiet. It was Pitt who spoke the truth.
"Actually, Vincent… Last night…"
