TAKE MY BREATH AWAY - Chapter 1473 Extra Story About Erma (Part Two)

However, this feeling of Erma’s didn’t last long. When dinner was about to end, Erica asked Stan, “Stan, so what do you think of Erma?”

Stan nodded and replied politely, “Auntie, Erma is not only beautiful, but also a very dignified young lady.”

Erma stifled her satisfied smile in an act of modesty, but it was true that she was always respectful of her elders.

Adkins went straight to the point and asked, “But is Erma your type?”

Erma’s eyes jumped to Stan almost immediately and while she failed to hide her expectations in her stare, her instincts told her that he was going to shake his head.

But she was wrong. Stan nodded his head again, but this time he stood up from his seat, hoping to reach everyone clearly. “Uncle, Aunt, I think Erma is an interesting girl to say the least. It is my honor and blessing to have such a wonderful opportunity marrying someone like her. You know how the people in my family are, everyone’s always so serious and grumpy. I’ll bet when Erma becomes a part of my family, she will bring nothing but joy and happiness to everyone. Later on, perhaps if we’re lucky, she can bless me with a son and a daughter.”

The smile on Erma’s face froze. ‘Wait. What? What did he just say? Didn’t we have an agreement to part ways after this dinner?

Is this his idea of revenge for what I did to his car?’ she wondered.

Stan’s grandpa looked like he was on the same page as his grandson. He looked at Erma lovingly and said, “Matthew, you’ve done a great job raising Erma. She is sophisticated, well-educated and intelligent. If you don’t mind, can we just agree to have her marry into the He family? I give you my word that we will treat her well.”

Stan looked at his grandfather with gratitude and said, “Thank you, Grandpa. Uncle, Aunt, if you have no objections, I’d like to take Erma’s hand in marriage.”

Adkins looked at Stan with eyebrows raised in disbelief. When he first brought up the idea of introducing him to his sister, Stan blew him off with a single sentence—”I only have time for my work right now.”

When Adkins spoke for his sister again, Stan replied, “How long do you think people like us can stay interested in one person?”

In fact, Adkins had almost given up on the idea of playing matchmaker, but he wanted to give it one last try before he called it quits. His desperation, however, wasn’t because it would be hard to find a matching suitor for Erma, Adkins just thought that Stan was the perfect man for his sister in all aspects.

Adkins had little to no idea whether Stan was too embarrassed to turn him down again or not, but fortunately he managed to get his approval in the end.

After both Erma and Stan had met each other, it was very obvious that Stan was smitten by Erma.

was, hoping to spy on him from a distance.

But in less than ten minutes, his assistant appeared in front of her. “Mrs. He, Mr. He asked me to fetch you.”

The thought that Stan not loving her for real only lasted until Erma got pregnant and gave birth to their baby.

A few days before her childbirth, Stan took a leave from his work so he could stay at home and take care of her. Whenever she’d get hungry, even if it was in the wee hours of the night, he would go downstairs and make her something to eat. One night, Erma needed to go to the bathroom desperately, but she didn’t want to disturb Stan’s sleep. She was too careless to notice the water on the floor of the bathroom and slipped.

When she was rushed to the hospital, half of her body, from the stomach down, was covered in blood.

When Erma opened her eyes in pain, the only thing she wanted to tell him was to look after her parents if she were to die because of this.

However, before she could say anything, the look of horror in Stan’s face silenced her. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was holding her in his arms, sweating, and running towards the operating room.

After putting her on the bed, he grabbed the doctor by his collar and roared at him, “Do what you must to save her. Do you understand me?”

“Sir, to be honest with you, this doesn’t look very good. If it comes to it, should we save her or the baby first?” the doctor asked.

Stan glanced at the doctor coldly and said, “Do you really need to ask me such a stupid question right now? Of course you’re going to save my wife first!” Later on, he made the hospital authorities set a rule that no doctor would ever be allowed to ask the family members of a pregnant woman such a silly question. When faced with such a situation, no matter what the cost, they should have to rescue the adult first.
