Lady Ada

Chapter 18

head. Ada's room was arranged next to Emma's room.

During this time, Ada was under the incomparable care of Emma, ​​and she also helped to inquire about Leon's news, but she found nothing. Ada prays for Leon every day, hoping that God will bless him.Time passed bit by bit like this. September is here in an instant, which also means that Ada's baby is about to be born! Emma's personal doctor, Dr. Probst, also takes good care of Ada.He knew that Ada almost lived in Emma's apartment when she was about to have a baby. Obviously Emma provided the greatest help, which moved Ada very much.

Finally, on a refreshing morning, Ada felt that something was wrong with her, her waist was extremely sore, and something like rice water flowed out. Dr. Probst told Ada that her amniotic fluid might have broken!Then came the labor pains of uterine contractions.It seems that Ada's baby can't wait to come out and see the world. Emma quickly drove Ada and Dr. Probst to the hospital, which Emma thought was the best hospital in London.

"Strong—inhale—exhale—force—"

Ada is about to collapse because of the great pain caused by the production.She only heard the nurses around her trying to encourage her, but she was already a little delirious.She gripped the quilt so tightly that her fingernails were even blue.Sweat also soaked her clothes.

"Strengthen—more force—" Every time Ada's uterus contracted, the nurse would loudly encourage Ada to push harder.

This time, when Ada exerted her strength, she felt that the child had come out. She was panting quickly, sweating profusely, and turned her head to the nurse beside her in pain, "...child, child, is it coming out?"

"Hurry up! The child's head has come out! Keep going! Use your strength—"

Ada sighed deeply before coming out.But she was almost exhausted.She knew she must be ugly right now, with matted hair and sweaty face...all the worst things she could think of!Gradually, Ada's face began to turn pale, her eyes became a little dazed, and her breathing became short and uncomfortable.Will she not be able to hold on?All of a sudden Ada thought of her mother, yes, her mother died of heavy bleeding after giving birth to Ada.At first Ada tried to avoid thinking about it, but now that she's been through what she's been through with her mother, she has no way of knowing if she can make it through and survive.Then I began to pessimistically think of Leon whose whereabouts were unknown... No way!I can't die!I still have to take care of my kids!Suddenly this thought stabbed into Ada's brain.Her eyes widened as if she had woken up, and after taking a breath, she followed the doctor's steps and tried her best.

"Ah-wow--" The loud cry echoed throughout the operating room instantly.

"Congratulations! Miss Redfield! The baby is out! It's a boy!" The nurse beside him shouted happily.

"Miss Redfield..." The doctor handed the child to Ada, "This is your child."

The whole body of the child is red and pink, the umbilical cord is wrapped around the child's neck, and the body is still wet.But the loud cries told Ada that her baby seemed healthy and alive. Ada stretched out her hands to caress the child's pink face, it was warm. Ada couldn't help feeling relieved, yes, he just came out of my stomach...

Thank God, Ada's baby is very healthy.A week later, the child who stayed in the hospital was discharged smoothly.Now he lives in Emma's apartment like Ada. Emma is an independent and assertive woman.She had always threatened that she might not get married, but when she saw Ada's child, she thought it was a great thing to have a child, and the joy that the arrival of the child brought to the mother was endless.She even secretly told Ada that she might not get married, but she would have a baby.

So Ada lived in Emma's apartment again.But thinking about it is not a long-term solution.While Ada, Emma, ​​and Helena were still trying to find a way, an unexpected guest visited Emma's apartment.He is Mr. Rocha, the lawyer of the Redfield family.

"Miss Ada, long time no see." Mr. Rocha was already enjoying the tea Helena poured for him, and his fat body was sitting on Emma's high-end soft sofa.

"Yeah... how is Mr. Rocha?" Ada said softly.

"Haha," Mr. Rocha stroked his bare bald head, "isn't he annoyed by your family's affairs."

"Oh! What's the progress?" In fact, Ada also knew the purpose of Mr. Rocha's visit this time. Although she was not at home during this time, the thing that made them worry the most was the heir.

Mr. Rocha took another sip of tea, and then said: "I am very happy to tell you that your great-grandfather once left a will, which basically means that if there is no male heir, a female can inherit it. And this will also has legal effective."

"Very good." Ada couldn't help smiling.

"But I'm here mainly to tell you one thing." Suddenly Mr. Rocha became a little nervous.

"...What's the matter?" Ada frowned immediately, listening to Mr. Rocha's tone was not a good thing.

"Oh...well...I think you know that you lost a lot of money when you built the winery..." Mr. Rocha touched his bald head again, "well, uh...I want to lose The money is bigger than I thought..."

"Why, why?!" Ada said to Mr. Rocha in surprise, "I've calculated it...although it's more serious, but it's not... what's wrong?"

"I think you don't know something, Miss Ada... just... well," Mr. Rocha sighed deeply, "I'm afraid you don't know about this, Miss Ada either. It was Earl Leemans who found it when he was building the manor. Many investors, including nobles and businessmen..."

"Where did the money go?" Ada asked coldly, "The money used to build the winery was not taken from my father at all." Obviously, Ada was very dissatisfied with Earl Leemans' actions.

"...he spent all his money on gambling and lost..." Mr Rocha said resignedly.

"Oh! God!" Ada snorted and said in a slightly angry tone, "He never told me about it!"

"I think the Earl is also unspeakable..."

"This," Ada sighed helplessly, and shook her head, "this is a very important matter, how could he do this, no? How much money did he lose?"

"I'm afraid this is a huge number. You may have to sell some land before..."

"Sell the land?" Ada raised her voice a few decibels, "No..."

"But Miss Ada, there is a way to solve this problem." Mr. Rocha swallowed, and said to Ada cautiously. "Just quickly determine the heir, then you can get the reserved inheritance and pay off the money."

"When will the heir be determined?" Ada asked.

"That's the problem. I can't estimate..." Mr. Rocha said helplessly, "It's a time of war, and it's much slower to deal with this kind of thing than before. I'm afraid that before that day, those people will start arriving Roderick Manor is in debt."

"God..." Needless to say Ada was already imagining how embarrassing that would be.

"Don't worry, I will help you deal with it as soon as possible." Mr. Rocha took out a document from his briefcase, "This is the procedure, Ms. Ada. I gave it to you, and the information was provided by you Proof, this may help you determine an heir more quickly."

However, what Ada focused on at this moment was not the document that Mr. Rocha handed over, but a yellow card he accidentally dropped on the ground.She casually put the file on the coffee table, then bent down to pick up the card.One look, a man is standing on one foot, no... what's wrong... that man is not standing on one foot, Ada flips the cards over, it is a man who was hanged upside down!She gasped for a moment, this doesn't look like a happy card!

"Hehe..." Mr. Rocha smiled awkwardly, "I must be my daughter who likes to play tarot playing divination on my desk, and then I accidentally put the documents in the briefcase..." Mr. Rocha looked again Looking at Ada, I saw her staring straight at the Tarot cards, as if she couldn't hear his words. "I'm sorry, Miss Ada... that card..."

"No...no..." Ada seemed to wake up, she hurriedly handed the card to Mr. Rocha, "I'm sorry... I think I remembered something."

"Oh! So that's the case. But..." Mr. Rocha looked at his watch, "I think I should go too, I still have a bunch of documents to deal with in the afternoon." Mr. Rocha packed up the rest of the things and went Say goodbye to Ada.Before leaving, he told Ada that he would help them deal with the heir as soon as possible
