Chapter 268
Chapter 268
Roxanne was brought back from the brink of death, having almost walked through the gates of the
underworld.
When she woke up, she was weak and exhausted, her voice so low she could barely hear herself.
Dominic, his eyes red from crying, leaned in close to her ear to hear her whisper that she wanted to
see her daughter.
"Roxanne, the baby is still in the incubator, we can't bring her over. You need to rest."
"But can you take a video for me?"
Dominic hesitated.
He was terrified of lying to Roxanne.
The first time he lied to her, he had told her he had fallen in love with a wealthy heiress, that he didn’t
love her anymore and wanted to break up.
When he lied, he couldn't meet her gaze.
He would stare at the floor, unable to look up.
Roxanne remembered that look well.
Dominic was lying to her.
Just like nine years ago when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, he lied to her and broke up with
her, afraid of burdening her.
Tears streamed down her face, "Dominic, the baby was stillborn, wasn’t she?”
Before she passed out, she had heard the doctor say that the umbilical cord had detached prematurely,
and the baby had no heartbeat or breath upon birth.
"I want to see her!"
Despite her weak voice, she was resolute.
"Roxanne, you need to stay calm."
"I want to see her."
Afraid that she would become too emotional, the doctor reluctantly brought over the lifeless baby.
He placed her next to Roxanne, who gently raised her arms and cradled her daughter, giving her a
tender kiss.
Cold as ice.
She covered her baby with her own blanket.
The tiny figure tugged at her heart, causing pain throughout her entire body.
Mother and child, their faces close together.
Roxanne used her own body heat to warm her icy baby.
She couldn't believe that her little one, who had been with her for over seven months, had left her so
abruptly.
Vaguely, she thought she heard the faint sound of a heartbeat.
But she could have imagined it.
She continued to use her body heat to warm her baby girl.
And then, a miracle seemed to occur.
Eight hours later.
Roxanne heard the faint heartbeat of her little one.
Her body was gradually warming up.
Even the doctor thought it was a miracle.
After some resuscitation efforts, the baby came back to life.
Her robust heartbeat was identical to the one Roxanne had recorded on her phone during prenatal
check-ups.
Overwhelmed with joy, Roxanne cried.
So did Dominic.
Two months later.
An international flight was slowly descending over Seraphim Haven.
Roxanne cradled her adorable baby girl in her arms.
She looked down at her, her eyes filled with joy.
The baby's chubby little face was identical to the 4D ultrasound scan taken during the prenatal check-
up.
Roxanne couldn't help but gently pinch her cheeks.
The baby's mouth puckered up, on the verge of crying, looking utterly aggrieved.
She looked down at her baby girl laughing in her arms.
Next to her, Dominic was also smiling.
The safety and well-being of mother and daughter was his greatest wish.
It was only when the little one yawned, her mouth full of milky fragrance, that Roxanne looked up.
Meeting Dominic's gaze, his eyes filled with joy.
Their eyes met, filled with gratitude.
This journey, if not for Dominic, she and her child might have already met the grim reaper.
In fact, both her second chances at life were given by Dominic.
The first time was when he abandoned her, her near-death experience during the trek through the
wilderness had given her a new lease of life.
The second time was during childbirth when Dominic played the sound of a crying baby on his phone,
bringing her back from the edge of death.
Both second chances made her stronger.
She was grateful to Dominic.
Her eyes filled with joy, she said to Dominic, "Dominic, my daughter's life was given by you. You should
be the one to name her."
"Can I?" Dominic looked at her, surprised.
She smiled, "Of course!" Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Aren't you afraid that Harrison will be jealous? He's the baby's father, and he didn't even get a chance
to name her."
The mention of Harrison no longer stirred any emotions in Roxanne.
After experiencing rebirth several times, she had learned to let go of the past pain and heartaches.
Nothing was more important than living well.
She smiled lightly and simply, "I can't hate him forever. Hating someone takes effort too."
"Congratulations on your rebirth!"
Although it came with a hefty price.
Actually, Dominic wished that Roxanne's rebirth had not been so painful.
He would rather see Roxanne and Harrison living happily together.
"Roxanne, I need to think carefully about the baby's name."
"Alright, let me know when you've decided."
The plane landed.
Roxanne cradled her baby girl in her arms, Dominic carried their luggage.
They were also accompanied by two nannies, carrying all sorts of baby necessities.
As soon as they got into the car, Roxanne's phone rang.
It was Vincent, "Roxanne, I was thinking about your due date in a week. I've arranged for you to give
birth at the best maternity hospital here. What do you think?"
"Dad." Roxanne interrupted, "I've already given birth."
Vincent was the baby's grandfather, she wouldn't deprive him of his right to know.
"Oh, you gave birth early?" Vincent was surprised, happy, and worried, "Are you and the baby alright?"
"I had a premature birth at seven months, but we managed to pull through."
"Roxanne, why didn't you tell me about something so important?"
"Dad, I'm sorry! I didn't tell you about your granddaughter's birth."
"So it's a granddaughter, really a granddaughter?"
"Yes."
Vincent was overjoyed and yet apologetic.
After learning that Roxanne was recovering well, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, then apologized
profusely.
Eventually, Roxanne agreed to visit Vincent at his estate the next day.
After hanging up the phone, Vincent immediately began preparations.
He wanted to give all his wealth and valuables to his precious granddaughter.
His long-awaited dream of having a granddaughter had finally come true.
Vincent was too excited to sleep.
Just before he dozed off, a thought struck him.
Shouldn't he share this big news with his son?
"Harrison, Roxanne gave birth, a sweet girl. I have a granddaughter, I finally have a granddaughter."
On the receiving end of the call, Harrison was abroad.
He finally tracked down Roxanne's location overseas, but by the time he got there, she was already
gone.
He took the next flight out.
Heading back to Seraphim Haven.
The next morning, Roxanne, with her adorable two-month-old baby, visited Vincent's home, Rodriguez
Oasis Estates.
Meanwhile, Harrison was on an incoming flight.
The plane was about to land.
