Chapter 515
In the next two months, Liam hired a doctor to stay in Regalian Garden all day long until two days before Cynthia’s due because she didn’t feel well.
Because Cynthia was pregnant with twins, she went to the hospital in advance and waited for the labor.
Anthony was worried about Isabella because of her poor health, so he drove her to the hospital too.
They had booked two VIP rooms.
On the second day there, they started to feel persistent contractions at the same time.
Isabella had given birth to a baby before. The labor would be relatively faster this time. The time from the persistent contractions to the fully dilated cervix was short, which was even shorter than what the doctor predicted. So the epidura injection that was planned wasn’t used in the end.
The doctor directly pushed her into the labor and delivery room. Anthony followed into it.
Looking at Isabella, who was in so much pain that she couldn’t say a word, Anthony felt heartbroken.
Every tear of Isabella’s made his heart ache even more.
If he had known that giving birth to a child would be so painful, he would never let her do it again.
Anthony leaned over the bed and held Isabella’s head with both hands, kissing the sweat and tears on her face. “Izzy, I’m here with you.”
Isabella could feel Austin’s kiss but now she could only push hard with her eyes closed.
Isabella didn’t have any strength at all in the second half of the stage of labor because she was too weak.
The midwife next to her urged her hurriedly.
She said, “Isabella, come on. I can see the baby’s head. Push harder, or the baby will be hurt.”
Isabella’s eyes had turned red and she was wet all over like she had been in a shower. Tears and sweat were mixed on her face.
She grabbed Anthony’s hand and took a deep breath, saying some words intermittently.
She said, “I’m exhausted.”
Looking at Isabella’s twisted face, Anthony was so anxious that he wanted to kill someone.
He raised his head and shouted at the midwife, “Hurry up and help her! What are you doing over there? If anything bad happens to my wife, you will be held accountable.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Anthony was completely out of his mind. He didn’t care if the baby would be in danger. He just wanted Isabella to stop suffering from the pain.
Being yelled at by him, the midwife felt aggrieved.
Now the baby was already in the birth canal so it was impossible to have a C–section. So it had to be a natural childbirth.
The midwife hurriedly fetched the medicine that made people feel more energetic and asked Isabella to take it, for fear of angering Anthony,
The midwife said cautiously, “Isabella, don’t give up. You can do it! Or, both you and the child will be in danger.”
After Isabella took the medicine, she felt a little bit better.
She was reminded of Theo, Cynthia, her parents, and Anthony.
Their faces flashed through her mind.
She knew they were all waiting for her so she couldn’t give up.
She must give birth to the baby safely.
Thinking about this, Isabella felt spirited.
She bit Anthony’s hand and grasped the railings on both sides, trying her best to push.
Anthony’s hand quickly began to bleed but he didn’t seem to feel any pain. He was too focused on Isabella.
Perhaps because of the medicine she had taken, Isabella managed to give birth to the baby.
Soon, the baby cried sonorously.
The doctor hurried over to Isabella to cut the umbilical cord and clean the baby up.
Then the doctor came back with the baby and put it beside Isabella’s face. “Congratulations. It’s a healthy baby girl, about 7 pounds.
Isabella turned her head to the baby wearily and smiled happily.
She thought it was good that Theo had a little sister from now on.
The next second, she couldn’t hang on any longer. She passed out directly.
Anthony asked, “Izzy, what’s wrong? Wake up, Izzy.” He didn’t even look at the child. He went crazy and his eyes turned red. He looked up at the doctor.
He asked, “What is happening? Why did she pass out?”
Anthony’s heart sank when he thought something bad must have happened to Isabella. The fear of losing her made him mad.
The doctor was more frightened than him. He quickly handed the child to the nurse and then patiently explained, “She fainted because she was physically exhausted. She will wake up soon.”
Then the doctor hurriedly gave Isabella some unnecessary treatment, afraid that Anthony would make more trouble. Anthony looked extremely cold but he didn’t lose his temper again. He just stayed with Isabella, waiting for her to wake up. At the same time, Cynthia was suffering too.
Although she was pregnant with twins, the positions and weights of the babies were good. So the obstetrician suggested a natural delivery.
Cynthia wanted to try it too.
But because it was her first baby, her cervix dilated very slowly. It only opened to 1 centimeter in half an hour. Every time when the contractions started, she writhed in pain, sweating all over and
feeling that her whole body was splitting open.
Liam couldn’t bear to see Cynthia like this and felt distressed.

He held Cynthia in his arms, and kept stroking her back but it maile any difference.
Cynthia was still writhing around on the bed in pain.
Cynthia planned to use epidural injection too. But not to affect the opening of the cervix, she could get the epidural injection after the cervix opened to a few more centimeters. However, Cynthia’s cervix dilated too slowly.
Cynthia couldn’t stand the pain. Her whole body was soaked with sweat.
She grabbed Liam’s arm and said pitifully, “Honey, it hurts.”
Looking at Cynthia’s face, Liam felt distressed and his eyes turned red.
It was said that men should not cry but Liam’s eyes were blurred by tears now.
He held Cynthia in his arms and coaxed her with a trembling voice.
He said, “Honey, I’m here with you. Cynthia, hang on. I’ll ask the doctor to do something.”
He turned his head around and couldn’t help shouting at the doctor next to him, “What are you doing? Do something!”
Being yelled at, the doctor felt aggrieved but dared not say anything.

He thought, ‘Why did the two big shots come here? The birth of the baby depends on its mom. We can only do our best to protect the moms from any dangers.
The doctor thought for a moment and told Liam a solution.
The doctor said, “We can try epidural injection now. If the cervix can’t be fully dilated, she will have a C–section, which can reduce the pain.”
As soon as Liam heard it could reduce the pain, he agreed without hesitation.
He said, “OK. Let’s do it.”
The doctor quickly went out to make preparations.
Cynthia, who was lying on the bed, didn’t raise any objections upon hearing their conversation.
She was in so much pain that she almost had hallucinations. She couldn’t care about the C– section.
