Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1088: Justin Xavier Becomes a Dad!

Leah had a massive hemorrhage.

It is often said that giving birth is like a walk through the gates of hell. Justin Xavier has been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the baby, yet he dreads the day of the baby’s arrival. The anxiety bottled up inside him suddenly explodes, and he grabs the doctor by the collar, "Stop the bleeding! Stop the bleeding now! If anything happens to them, I want every one of you in this hospital to be buried with them!"

The doctor trembles in fear, cold sweat drips from his forehead.

Justin Xavier’s eyes are bloodshot, and he appears sinister and terrifying. At this moment, a weak voice calls to him from nearby, "Justin..."

Justin Xavier freezes, feeling as if he’s having an auditory hallucination.

He slowly turns around, his gaze falling on Leah’s face. Her eyes are filled with tears, shimmering like a glorious galaxy, she looks at him and calls his name once more, "Justin..."

Justin...

Justin...

She has regained her memory!

She remembers him!

Justin Xavier suddenly freezes in place, his bloodshot eyes brimming with shock, confusion, joy, anxiety, and fear...

These emotions intertwine, causing him to temporarily forget how to react; all he hears is the echo of her calling him Justin.

At that moment, the door to the delivery room suddenly opens, and a cheerful voice announces, "Prof. Sterling is here!"

Serena Sterling arrives.

Justin Xavier turns and sees Serena Sterling. She’s wearing a white coat, and despite her hurried arrival, she maintains her usual poise and composure.

The arrival of Serena Sterling brings joy to everyone, as this pillar of strength has finally arrived.

"Prof. Sterling, the patient is experiencing severe hemorrhage," the doctor quickly reports the situation.

Serena Sterling puts on her white mask and approaches Leah, taking her hand gently she speaks, "Leah, natural labor is no longer an option. We must perform a Cesarean section immediately, and I will personally perform the surgery. Don’t worry, you and the baby are in my hands, I will ensure your safety."

No matter what, Serena Sterling, the good friend, is always by her side. Leah nods earnestly, "Yes!"

Serena Sterling looks up at Justin Xavier, "President Xavier, please wait outside."

"I..." Justin Xavier doesn’t want to leave.

"I will call you in when the baby is born, close the door," Serena Sterling decisively instructs.

And with that, Justin Xavier is ushered out, the delivery room door slamming shut before him.

Justin Xavier waits, as each second passes like an eternity, feeling like an ant on a hot pan, he’s in agony.

He doesn’t know how she is doing inside.

He doesn’t know why she suddenly remembers him.

Nor does he know what her sudden recovery of memories means for their future.

He has never felt such torment before.

Then, suddenly, there’s the sound of a loud cry from the delivery room.

Justin Xavier’s dark pupils contract sharply; this moment, the loud baby’s cries pierce through all the gloominess in his heart like a bright sun breaking through the clouds. He feels the past slowly drifting away, welcoming a new life, a new hope.

This subtle emotion grows like a seed inside him, sprouting rapidly, his heart overflowing with joy.

Justin Xavier walks to the door of the delivery room, reaching out to push open the door.

He sees Serena Sterling holding a baby. The newborn baby is so tiny, Serena helps bathe and dress the baby, and once dressed, the baby opens its small mouth and cries softly.

Serena Sterling hands the baby to him, "President Xavier, congratulations! It’s a little girl, weighing six pounds eight ounces, you’re a father now!"

He has become a father!

Justin Xavier knows he has become a father!

This is his baby, his and Leah’s baby, their baby has finally arrived.

This is a daughter.

Justin Xavier reaches out to hold his daughter, the baby who was crying just a moment ago suddenly stops crying, she opens her eyes and looks at Justin Xavier, then smiles contently.

Serena Sterling grins, unable to suppress her laughter, "President Xavier, they say daughters are a father’s little sweetheart from a previous life, and it couldn’t be more true. She cried in my arms, but she smiles in yours. She loves her daddy very much."

Justin Xavier’s heart is filled with soft and overflowing strength, he flips open the pale yellow blanket to look at the baby’s tiny face, others’ newborns often look wrinkly and like little old men, but not his daughter.

His daughter is exactly as he imagined countless times, like her mommy, with a tiny rosy face, bright black eyes, making one want to give her a big kiss.

His daughter!

He finally has a daughter!

Justin Xavier places his daughter beside Leah, Leah, having undergone anesthesia and the pain of both natural and Cesarean birth, is very tired, she weakly looks at her daughter and gives her a gentle kiss on her tiny face.

Baby, mommy loves you~

Now, his wife and daughter are beside him, and he has another person to protect in this world. Justin Xavier can’t help but reach out to stroke Leah’s tender cheek, "Leah, I’m a father, you’re a mother now."

"Yes." Leah tiredly closes her eyes.

Justin Xavier’s expression changes drastically, "Leah, Leah..."

"President Xavier," Serena Sterling quickly interjects, "President Xavier, don’t worry, Leah is just exhausted and has fallen asleep. Let her rest well and don’t disturb her."

Justin Xavier is uneasy, reaching out to touch Leah’s soft cheeks, "Is she really just asleep?"

Serena Sterling smiles, "President Xavier, rest assured, she is really just asleep."

"Okay." Justin Xavier nods.

...

In the ward.

Serena Sterling and several nurses gather around the crib, "Look at little Miss Xavier, her facial features and lines resemble mommy but her eyes are like daddy’s."

"Haha, exactly, with such excellent genetic inheritance from mom and dad, little Miss Xavier is sure to be a beauty when she grows up."

At this moment, Justin Xavier stands leaning against the wall, one hand in his pocket, peering through the gap towards the crib. Wrapped in the pale yellow blanket, the baby looks around with sparkling, lively eyes.

Justin Xavier turns to Serena Sterling, speaking softly, "Why hasn’t Leah woken up, she’s been asleep for 2 hours."

Serena Sterling shows a helpless smile, as President Xavier has asked this same question over ten times in these two hours.

He is too anxious.

Serena Sterling says, "President Xavier, Leah is really just sleeping, but if you’re truly worried, you can wake Leah up."

Should he wake her?

Justin Xavier looks towards the hospital bed; with the daughter’s birth, Leah no longer has the round belly, she lies on the bed like a small cocoon just like their daughter.

Her long lashes falling quietly like cicada wings, the delicate face slightly pale, with signs of fatigue under her eyes.
