"Okay," Annabeth Cates nodded gently, feeling a contraction in her abdomen as her face perspired from the pain. Josh Batton, Xyla Quest, and Sharon Lindt started to feel nervous when they saw her like this.
Josh held her hand tightly. "I'll get a nurse to check on you right away."
He pressed on a button to get the nurse. "Can you send someone in here? My wife is in pain."
Annabeth clenched his hand while dealing with the unfamiliar pain that felt significantly worse than her period cramps.
She knew how painful childbirth could be, but she didn't expect to feel like she was being run over by a truck.
Her stomach was in excruciating pain.
Her usually calm husband began to panic along with Sharon and Xyla.
At that moment, Josh could feel his heart aching.
Soon, a nurse walked into the ward to check on Annabeth's condition.
"How is she? Can you give her a shot of anesthetics?" he asked right away.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Removing her single-use gloves, the nurse shook her head at him. "Not for now when the opening in her cervix isn't wide enough. We can only safely give her anesthetics when dilated enough. It's the safest way," she explained.
He panicked further at her words. "She's already in so much pain! Won't it worsen if we wait any longer? Can't you give it to her now? I'll do anything for you to stop the pain."
The nurse was a fan of his, and she had only seen his steady demeanor. She couldn't quite get used to seeing him behaving like this. Josh was usually calm even in front of an audience of thousands, but here he was, panicking like a child when his wife was about to deliver. Annabeth must have rescued the galaxy in her past life to be with a man like Josh in this one.
After being stunned for a second, she shook her head. "Your wife would have to bear with it for a while longer. We can't do much at the moment." "How much longer will it take?" he wondered.
"I can't be sure because the speed of
dilation differs between each
individual," she responded with a
shake of her head, carefully pulling a blanket over Annabeth before
walking aside to wait silently.
Right then, Annabeth experienced an even stronger pang in her abdomen.
She felt like dying when she could barely withstand it.
She subconsciously bit into her husband's arm, wailing intensely.
Sharon felt even more sorry for her when she saw her distress.
Meanwhile, Josh gazed at her with a tortured
expression. "Honey, please
bear with it for a while longow
you're in a lot of pain, my
"}
“It hurts, Darling. I'm in a lot of pain," she breathed out helplessly after slowly letting go of his arm.
At that moment, she did feel as if she was about to die.
"Annabeth hang in there. It normally takes around ten more minutes for your cervix to widen. Just bear with it for a while," Sharon told he even
she couldn't be sure, either.
Every childbirth experience was different for every pregnant woman, but she had to provide some words of comfort for her daughter-in-law.
