The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 980

Danny rushes back, scoops Tara into his arms, and sprints toward the garage. There's no need to grab a hospital bag; the luxury VIP maternity suite he booked months ago is already stocked with everything they could possibly need.

The moment the news breaks, both the Dennis and Calhoun families completely abandon their schedules, stampeding toward the hospital en masse.

Danny is fully prepared to stay in the delivery room, but Tara fiercely refuses. She has no desire for him to witness her sweaty, screaming, exhausted state. She insists on doing it without an audience.

After agonizing hours of grueling labor, the piercing cry of a newborn finally shatters the tension in the room. The moment the doctor steps out to announce the successful delivery, Danny bypasses him entirely, sprinting straight to Tara's bedside.

"Tara, you did so good. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I swear to god, I will never put you through this again," Danny chokes out, gripping her hand. She is pale, drenched in sweat, and completely drained. The sight of her suffering shatters his heart.

"It's fine. It doesn't hurt anymore," Tara whispers, a tired but radiant smile lighting up her face. The sheer relief of the birth washes over her, but seeing her husband rush to her side before even asking about the baby makes every second of pain entirely worth it. "Wait... where's the baby? I want to see."

"Right, our daughter. Let me see my little girl," Danny says, finally remembering the child.

A nurse walks back in, having just paraded the newborn past the massive, anxious crowd of billionaires in the waiting room. She beams at them. "Congratulations! Both mother and baby are perfectly healthy. You have a beautiful baby boy."

The nurse is genuinely touched. In her years working with high-society families, the husbands almost always demand to know the baby's gender first. Danny is the rare exception who ran straight for his wife. She assumes the news of a son will thrill him even more.

Instead, Danny's face contorts into a look of absolute betrayal. A boy? Did the nurse grab the wrong kid?
