Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 854

Viola yelped as she quickly dodged the flying cup, then fell to the ground. The strain from days of working hard had already caused a dull ache in her lower abdomen, and with this fall, she felt a rush of blood flowing down her legs.

Rebecca froze in shock at the sight.

Tara hurriedly called for help to get Viola back to Grace Mansion, then called for a physician and a midwife.

Barrett was summoned back urgently. By the time he arrived, the physician and midwife were already there.

The baby wasn't full term yet, and the position was all wrong. After the fall, Viola had begun bleeding and her water broke. Seeing this, the midwife broke into a cold sweat.

Outside the delivery room, Barrett was filled with worry. This was his first child—he was about to become a father for the first time, and his heart had been bursting with hope. Because of this baby, he had been putting up with Viola, avoiding arguments and disputes. He never imagined such an accident would happen at such a critical moment.

The physician was renowned in the capital as a master of obstetrics. He checked Viola's condition before retreating behind a screen to give orders. But the dire situation left him feeling uncertain.

Six hours passed, yet her cervix hadn't fully opened. The labor-inducing medicine had been administered, causing Viola to feel waves of pain surging through her body. She was nearing her breaking point.

Struggling to breathe, her voice grew hoarse as she cried out, "Barrett, please bring my family here…"

Barrett heard her desperate plea and immediately sent someone to Silverstone Estate to fetch them without hesitation.

Tara was inside the delivery room, assisting them. Although she wasn't an expert, she had some experience, having helped Rebecca and Amelia during childbirth. However, as the situation worsened, she began to feel helpless.

The midwife attempted to manually adjust the baby's position, but Viola's agony-filled cries echoed in the room.

Tara watched in horror, her heart racing. "Is this really going to help?"

The midwife had her share of experience, yet Viola's condition seemed more serious. As the baby refused to turn, the pain continued to escalate. Enduring this torment was not a viable solution, so the physician decided to increase the dosage of the labor-inducing medication.
