Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2242

Annabeth Cates was drenched in sweat and wearing an apprehensive look in her eyes as she looked at Sharon Lindt. “Really? Will it really be over in ten minutes?”

Sharon nodded.

She continued to grit her teeth and tolerated the pain upon hearing that the duration wasn’t all that long.

Time went by very slowly.

Ten minutes felt like ten centuries.

After ten minutes, she felt the pain intensifying, so she turned her attention to the nurse. “Hurry, I think it’s hurting even more now. Is it almost time?”

The nurse quickly approached while putting on another pair of gloves to check her progress.

Then, she nodded. “Yes, it’s time. You’ve dilated pretty quickly. Please wait a moment, Ms. Cates. I’ll page for the doctor to give you anesthetics right away.”

She took her phone out and called the director of obstetrics, who arrived five minutes later with a tray of some medical equipment for the anesthetic injection.

There was a needle as thick as a knitting needle on the tray and a tube of medicinal fluid.

After the director pulled on his gloves, he promptly filled the syringe with fluid and removed the needle cap before addressing the nurse. "Help her turn around, please.”

The thick needle glistened under the light, terrifying Annabeth as she glimpsed at the pinhead that would soon penetrate her waist.

However, she was willing to let it happen to stop the pain.

Instantly sighing in relief, Annabeth lay down and glanced at the doctor. “Thank you. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

“That’s great,” he smiled.

Although she was smiling, Josh, Sharon, and Xyla Quest still had solemn expressions on their faces with reddened eyes.

Her husband, especially, had tear-filled eyes.

She couldn’t help but feel a little sad to see this, but also felt touched to see the man she’d been deeply in love with all along.

As she gazed upon his face, she felt that it would be worth it even if she had died in the delivery room today.
