"No, that is not going to happen," came out a distraught response from Hou Yi.

"Yi, hopefully it will not come to that, but you have to be ready to make the decision.  While Rosemary and I do not agree with the Obstetrician's decision not to tell you this, I can understand it.  However, while I do not want what I would do if Alecia faced the same situation, I would preference Alecia over our child as in the end she is the most important thing.  But that should not influence you."

Observing the distraught look on Hou Yi's look, James after pausing said, take a few deep breaths, "I will go and see what is happening, and we will then head to the hospital."

As he stepped out of the room, he turned to one of the bodyguards "Do not let him out of that room until I return. He needs to calm down and we need to get my sister on the way to the hospital first, because she will not cope if she sees his face presently.  Do not let the fact that he is your boss worry you, as you have to think about the Lady boss firstly, and she is in labour that will be difficult."

Seeing the nods from the bodyguards, James headed back towards the room where Anna had been taken initially and observed that the ambulance staff were with Rosemary a.s.sistance getting ready to take her to the hospital. James nodded at Rosemary and dialled the obstetrician to confirm that Anna and Rosemary were about to leave Hou Enterprises and head to the hospital via ambulance.

As he moved back towards the room where Hou Yi was, the doors to the clinic opened, and in walked an older man, who James heard someone call Vice-CEO Ji.

James walked up, and said "Vice-CEO Ji, I am James Jones …"

"Anna's little brother, right?"

"Yes. She was coming here for a visit and has gone into early labour. She is on her way to the hospital with our sister-in-law, who just arrived from Australia to the hospital. Rosemary is a midwife, so she is safe. I am about to accompany my brother-in-law. I am a.s.suming you can deal with anything for the balance of the day and the next couple of weeks."

"Get him out of here." Pulling a card from his pocket, he continued "This has my personal number on it, just keep me updated."

James took the card and nodded, opening the door telling Hou Yi to get a move on for them to head to the hospital. He realised that the news he had given Hou Yi had sunk in, and he knew that there was a risk that he could lose either his wife or one of their babies. James hated to have to say that and silently was cursing the obstetrician for at least not talking to Hou Yi about the issue. Surrounded by the bodyguards, they quickly made their way out of Hou Enterprises into a car and headed towards the hospital.

Just over five minutes later the Ambulance with Anna and Rosemary in it pulled up at the hospital, and the hospital staff started to surround Anna pus.h.i.+ng Rosemary away. However, having been pre-alerted Anna obstetrician soon arrived with his own staff, moving the hospital staff away, and having the ambulance crew immediately take Anna to the maternity ward where she was transferred onto another table and wheeled straight to theatre.

Despite the pain, Anna realised that something was not quite right and said in a weak voice "What is going on?"

The obstetrician said, "Madam Hou, these babies are determined to come soon. Based on the last couple of ultrasounds my early suspicions were confirmed in that we will have to do a c-section for you to give birth. I had planned to speak to you about it next week, but your little ones have no respect for plans. We need to get you into surgery now."

"Rosemary?" asked Anna in a quiet voice, as if strength was going from her.

"Has to be done Anna. Not the plan, but when do you ever respect anyone's plans. These two little ones have already learnt from their mother, and G.o.d help us if they learn more of your tricks. Now Yi is on the way with James and knows what is happening, so let us get you into theatre."

Anna meekly nodded, which immediately made Rosemary worry, as Anna meekly agreeing to something was not in her nature. She was quickly taken into the theatre and as he and Rosemary had discussed Anna was given an epidural, as they both knew that a full anaesthetic would have risks that they did not want to contemplate.

As the epidural had taken effect, Hou Yi followed by James and his bodyguards cane running into the maternity ward at the hospital. One of the nurses said "CEO Hou, Madam Hou is in theatre, but the doctor has indicated that it would not be appropriate for you to go in at this time. They will come and get you when they are ready for you. Please sit there in the waiting room."

The bodyguards quickly determined that being told no had angered their boss, and they turned looking at James as to say you need to deal with him. James, simply dragged Hou Yi into the waiting room, sat him down and quietly asked the nursing staff for help getting some tea to calm Hou Yi down.
