Return of the Crowned Heiress novel Chapter 549

In the past, Imogen had always been consumed by her sorrow over losing her sight. Outwardly, she pretended not to care, but inwardly, her spirits were perpetually low.

However, when viewed from another perspective, back when Stephan had witnessed her collapsing to the ground while screaming in agony, would the trauma and pain be any less than hers?

Now, Imogen used that incident as leverage to attack him and threatened to take her own life to force him into making a choice… How was that any different from stabbing a knife into his heart?

Imogen covered her mouth as a wave of immense sorrow and regret washed over her. She dared not make a sound, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Stanley noticed and pulled out a packet of tissues, handing two sheets to her.

Imogen accepted them, but her expression suddenly twisted in pain. She bent over, clutching her swollen belly and crying out, "M-My stomach… It hurts!"

"Ms. Russell!"

Stanley immediately supported her, his panicked eyes darting to Felicia for help.

Felicia quickly checked Imogen's pulse and cursed inwardly. "Her water broke. She's going into labor!"

Sure enough, amniotic fluid began seeping from beneath Imogen's skirt.

"W-What?" Stanley was utterly flustered, stammering, "B-But there are still two months to go! H-How can this be happening now?"

"She's too emotional and stressed. Going into premature labor is the best-case scenario at this point."

Felicia quickly regained her composure and instructed Stanley, "There's no choice. We need to head to the nearest hospital immediately!"

"Got it!"

However, in the rainforest region, even the nearest hospital was several hours away.

Fortunately, as the Russell family's eldest daughter, Imogen's travel arrangements had been meticulously prepared. The equipment and supplies for labor and delivery had been brought along, almost as if in anticipation of every contingency.

If push came to shove, they could find a place to land and perform the delivery on-site.
