After Okula Singh left, Nawotz Singh suddenly sat on the ground.
Seeing this, Daly More hurried over to help Navotz Singh. "Singh, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine. Let me sit on the ground for a while."
Navotz Singh had a good time just now, but that arm wasn't hers.
As the magic disappeared, the burden came with it.
You had to pay interest when you borrowed something from someone else.
If Okula hadn't been scared away, Navotz would probably have lost.
"Do we go to the hospital?" Daly More asked.
Navotz shook her head. She couldn't even be bothered to talk now. After sitting on the ground for more than half an hour, she finally got into the car with Daly More's help.
The car had been swung around by Navotz, but apart from some blood and two not-so-obvious dents, there wasn't any other damage.
"Singh, what happened just now?"
"That was the ability spell I used on Mr. Chen earlier," Navotz said. "I borrowed his strongest ability."
Navotz was now very sure that he must have accidentally used his mirror image ability.
"Is this the power of Strengthening magic?"
"Yes, strengthening magic is best at fighting. It has powerful attack and resistance, but its weakness is also very obvious," Navotz said. "It's too much of a burden on the body."
…
Seeing Chen Zhao return, Fali's expression became nervous.
"Chen, what's wrong?"
"Fali, I think you're due soon. How about we go to the hospital?"
"No." Fali shook her head immediately.
"According to the weather report, a tropical cyclone might land on the West Coast in the next three days."
"Then we'll wait for it to pass."
"Can you control the child in your stomach?"
"Of course. She listens to me."
Chen Zhao was helpless. Fali was so determined, so he could only give up on sending her to the hospital for now.
"Let me do a check."
Chen Zhao started examining Fali and the baby in her stomach.
It wasn't just a routine check. Chen Zhao also used magic to check their vitals.
Suddenly, he sensed that the baby's heart rate was extremely low.
Chen Zhao was shocked. He glanced at Fali from the corner of his eye, but his expression did not change.
A fetus' heart rate was usually higher than an adult's, but their child's heart rate was so low that Chen Zhao had to be careful.
There were many possibilities for a low fetal heart rate. It could be a problem with the mother, but Fali was healthy and paid attention to her diet. There shouldn't be any problems.
Otherwise, it was the fetus's own problem. Although the child hadn't been born yet, he was already conscious.
Even in her stomach, the child was still very active. Perhaps he was tired of playing.
Chen Zhao was very nervous. Had this always been a problem, or had it just appeared?
Is there a problem with the child's development?
He had been to the hospital several times before, but there were no problems with the child's development.
Then it should be a temporary problem.
He sent his magic power into Fali's body.
As expected, Chen Zhao realized that the child was wrapping the umbilical cord around his neck, but he couldn't break free.
In the end, he choked himself until he fainted.
Chen Zhao was a bit angry. This little bastard hadn't even been born yet and he was already looking for trouble for himself and his mother.
If he'd wrapped the umbilical cord like this on the day of delivery, he wouldn't have been able to give birth naturally.
Thankfully, the umbilical cord wasn't completely tied up. After the little bastard fainted, it loosened on its own.
The little bastard suddenly moved and opened his eyes. He seemed to have seen something.
Chen Zhao suddenly realized that his magic power was being absorbed.
Fali wasn't a spiritualist. She couldn't absorb magic power.
Chen Zhao frowned. Was it the little bastard absorbing the magic power?
Just then, the little bastard fell into a deep sleep again.
But now, his body was much more stable.
Chen Zhao heaved a sigh of relief. Fali rubbed her stomach gently.
Just then, another emergency alert appeared on the TV.
According to the satellite photos sent by NASA to the Weather Bureau, a tropical cyclone was evolving in the Pacific Ocean 1,400 kilometers southwest of the West Coast. The winds at the center of the tropical cyclone had reached 200 kilometers per hour, reaching the peak of a Category 3 hurricane. At present, the tropical cyclone was still strengthening. In the next 24 hours, the tropical cyclone was likely to reach Category 5 or above.
The weather bureau officially named the cyclone "Witch."
Chen Zhao found it hard to breathe. He could feel that the cyclone was coming for his family. It was a life-and-death crisis.
What was a Category 5 hurricane?
The weather bureau divided hurricanes into five levels. A speed of 119 to 153 kilometers per hour was Category 1, 154 to 177 kilometers per hour was Category 2, 178 to 209 kilometers per hour was Category 3, 210 to 248 kilometers per hour was Category 4, and 249 kilometers per hour or above was Category 5.
The tropical cyclone was forming now. It hadn't reached its peak yet, but it had already reached Category 3. This meant that when it hit the West Coast, it might reach Category 5 or above.
How much damage could a Category 5 hurricane cause?
A Category 5 hurricane in 2005 had caused $200 billion in economic losses. 2,000 people had died and hundreds of thousands had lost their homes.
This was America, the most developed country in the world.
Of course, America's rescue system had always been criticized by others.
If it was just a hurricane, Chen Zhao wouldn't care. But he was afraid that it wasn't just a hurricane.
If that was the death of the little bastard in Fali's stomach, then today would be the first night!
The hurricane would come the day after tomorrow! What if Fali went into labor?
No, not if … Fali would definitely go into labor the night after tomorrow.
Chen Zhao couldn't help Fali give birth and protect her at the same time.
It was impossible to send Fali to the hospital. If he did, there might be more casualties.
Chen Zhao called Faur. "Faur, take tomorrow and the day after tomorrow off. Come to my house."
"Why? I'm a bit busy with work. "
"Your sister's labor will be in these two days."
"You can send her to the hospital."
"I don't plan on sending her to the hospital," Chen Zhao said. "Also, I've never delivered a baby before."
"Me neither … I'm an oncologist … I know how to deliver a baby, but I've never done it."
"I trust you."
Faur was going crazy. She didn't understand what Chen Zhao was doing.
What's the use of trusting me?
"You're going to bet Fali and her baby?"
