We Built a Kingdom From Ashes That Still Remembered Love by Aila Frost 797 Summary

Meg is in labor but is being forced to wait in the hospital waiting room because all available doctors are attending to the Blackwell family, who are also having a baby. Shelly, concerned and frustrated by the hospital staff’s refusal to prioritize Meg, steps in to advocate for her friend. When the nurse remains unyielding, Richard arrives and uses his authority to secure a delivery room and doctor for Meg.

Once settled in the room, Dr. Joel Pierce examines Meg and confirms that she was fortunate to get a room in time, as she was close to giving birth right in the waiting area. He explains that the Blackwells’ presence has caused the hospital staff to focus all resources on them, despite it being unnecessary. Dr. Pierce shares his hope that his daughter Elizabeth, who aspires to be a doctor, will treat all patients fairly regardless of their status.

Shelly and Richard stay by Meg’s side to provide comfort and support during this stressful time. Meg, feeling vulnerable, asks them to stay with her because she doesn’t want to be alone. As they try to ease her nerves, Shelly gently asks if Meg has thought of any baby names. Meg smiles softly for the first time that day and quietly reveals she wants to name her baby Judy.

“Meg, are you actually in labor right now?” Shelly asked, her eyebrows rising in concern.

Meg swallowed hard, then gave a small nod.

“Yes,” she whispered.

“Then why aren’t you already in a delivery room, getting ready to have the baby?” Shelly pressed, quickly rising to her feet.

“They told me to wait. There aren’t enough doctors available at the moment,” Meg explained, shaking her head in frustration.

Shelly’s lips pressed into a thin line, her expression tightening.

“Come on,” Shelly said firmly, reaching out to help Meg stand. “We need to get you taken care of.”

Before Meg could voice any objection, Shelly gently but insistently guided her toward the nurses’ station.

“Excuse me,” Shelly said, addressing one of the nurses. “This young woman is in labor and needs to be taken to a room immediately.”

The nurse glanced at Meg, her eyes narrowing slightly before she looked back at Shelly.

“I already told her she has to wait,” the nurse said flatly. “All of our doctors are currently attending to the Blackwells. They’re also having a baby, and they take priority.”

The Blackwells? Meg’s mind reeled. Why were the Blackwells here? They were an incredibly wealthy family who could afford the best medical care anywhere, yet they had chosen this modest hospital in neutral territory.

“There has to be at least one doctor who can help her,” Shelly insisted, crossing her arms firmly. “Look at her—she’s about to give birth right here in the waiting room.”

“I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can do,” the nurse said coldly, causing Meg to flinch slightly.

“What’s happening here?” Richard’s voice broke through as he approached them.

Shelly let out a breath of relief. If anyone could cut through this nonsense, it was Richard. With his calm authority and status as a Delta, he had a way of making things happen.

Shelly quickly explained the situation to Richard, watching his face darken with irritation—not at them, but at the nurse and the hospital staff. After a few pointed words and firm promises, the nurse finally relented, assigning a room and a doctor to Meg.

Shelly and Richard accompanied Meg to the room, staying close to ensure she was properly cared for.

“You’re lucky you got a room when you did,” Dr. Joel Pierce said as he examined Meg. “Any longer, and you would have had that baby right here in the waiting area.”

“That’s exactly what I told them,” Shelly said, arms folded. “They refused to see her until my husband stepped in.”

Dr. Pierce nodded knowingly.

“The Blackwells are here, delivering their heiress,” he said with a shake of his head. “All hands on deck, even though it’s completely unnecessary. Honestly, once my daughter becomes a doctor, I’m going to make sure she treats everyone fairly—no matter who they are. The next generation has to be better.”

“Your daughter’s going to be a doctor too?” Shelly asked, curious.

He smiled softly.

“That’s her plan. She’s incredibly bright for her age. It would be a shame if she chose any other path. Elizabeth will make a wonderful doctor, and I’m doing my best to teach her to treat everyone equally.”

Shelly instantly felt a sense of trust toward Dr. Pierce, relieved to leave Meg in his care.

After the doctor left the room, Shelly and Richard decided it was time to step out.

“Can you stay with me?” Meg asked quietly, her voice tinged with vulnerability. “If you don’t have other things to do… I just don’t want to be alone right now.”

They both agreed without hesitation and settled in beside her, chatting softly to distract Meg from the overwhelming reality of giving birth to a child she didn’t feel ready for.

After a while, Shelly’s curiosity got the better of her.

“Have you thought of any names yet?” she asked gently.

Meg blushed deeply, a small, genuine smile—the first real one she’d shown all day—curving her lips.

“Judy,” she whispered, a soft sigh escaping her. “I want to name my baby Judy.”
