Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2244

The intense pain caused Annabeth Cates’ vision to turn dark and drenched in sweat as if she’d just jumped into a pool of water.

“I can’t take it anymore! It hurts so much! What’s going on? Didn’t you say it wouldn’t hurt?” she cried out.

Her face was pale, sending Josh Batton into panic mode.

He immediately turned to one of the medical staff in the delivery room. “What’s going on?”

The doctor frowned. “The anesthetic effect must have worn off. We rarely see this happening. It usually lasts until after the delivery process is over for most people.”

“What do we do now?” Josh asked, unable to stand seeing his wife in distress. “Can we give her another shot?”

The doctor shook his head. “It’s too late. The baby is almost out.”

He felt hopeless, and his wife felt the same way.

She was in so much pain at that moment that she would soon lose her mind.

“Ahh! It hurts so bad! Help! Help me!” The intense contractions were turning her vision pitch black.

She gripped Josh’s arms with even more force with one hand while she kept pounding harder and harder with her other hand on the bed.

“The pain is killing me. What should I do, doctor?” she continued howling.

Sweat poured out of her pores more and more, annoying her further with the sticky sensation of her clothes against her skin.

However, the doctor continued to regard her calmly and issued instructions. “Push harder, Ms. Cates. The baby will be coming out soon.

“Take deep breaths and follow my tempo. Now. Take a deep breath.”

She began breathing to the doctor’s count.
