Violet sat beside her, her brow furrowed tightly, gripping her daughter-in-law's arm, only wanting to convey a hint of strength.
A pair of eyes never left her face, watching her contorted in pain, and her mother-in-law's heart clenched in unison. "Child, how are you? Can you hold on?"
The pain of childbirth, Violet had experienced it, and now thinking back, she still felt a shiver down her spine.
So at this moment, she could particularly empathize.
"Pain... Mom, I'm in so much pain..." Mya answered intermittently, using the right breathing technique, trying to keep her strength without yelling.
But that kind of pain made her fearful and helpless, she kept gasping for breath, then biting her lip tightly.
Finnley hugged her tightly, wrapping her in his embrace, his heart in turmoil too.
The car was already speeding fast enough, but he wished his father could drive the car like an airplane!
Seeing the doctor was the only thing that could slightly reassure him.
Equally nervous was Albert, driving the car carefully but his heart on his daughter-in-law, occasionally looking back through the rearview mirror.
He treated Mya as his own daughter, seeing his daughter suffer, naturally, he felt heartache.
"Ouch... it hurts..."
Even if Mya couldn't help it, she wouldn't scream out loud, sweat beading on her forehead, "Mom, I think... my cervix is dilating, just like how it's described in the books."
"Child, hold on a little longer, we're almost at the hospital! As long as the baby is in the right position, you can have a natural birth."
Violet held her hand tightly, rubbing it back and forth in her palm, cheering her on, "We can't accompany you into the delivery room, you have to stay strong, Dad, Mom, and Finnley will all be waiting outside for you."
Mya gasped for a gulp of cold air, feeling even more scared.
The contractions had been lasting for over a minute, the time between two contractions shortened to 10 seconds, she was starting to struggle a bit.
