Chapter 808: Protecting Adults or Children?
In a rather delicate small manor, in a room with curtains drawn, a maid looked at the pale woman on the bed with an anxious face and said, "Madam, you can eat something, the midwife said that you may give birth in the next two days, but you haven't eaten for so many days, so it's not good." ”
Miranda was lying on her side on the bed, her abdomen was high and bulging, as if she was about to give birth at any time, but her somewhat puffy face was extremely pale, she opened her eyes weakly and glanced at the white porridge in the maid's hand, her throat moved, her stomach had begun to churn, she retched twice, closed her eyes again, and shook her head slightly: "I can't eat it, take it down." ”
She didn't know that she had to eat something even for the sake of the child, but she really couldn't.
No matter what it is, as soon as it is in the mouth, it starts to vomit, and when it vomits into the stomach, there is nothing left but sour water, and I still can't drink even a mouthful of white porridge.
Even when I was born Angus, this did not happen.
She remembered what the midwife said to her meaningfully after giving birth to Angus in her life, she couldn't have any more children in her life, otherwise she would die, and a wry smile appeared on her face.
She didn't tell Jergy this, she just wanted to give birth to a daughter for him, even if it was in exchange for her life.
"But......" the woman still wanted to speak.
At this moment, Miranda's stomach suddenly moved, Miranda's face suddenly showed a painful expression, her body arched like a shrimp, but one hand was tightly grasping the edge of the bed to prevent her movement from being too large, her pale face was covered with cold sweat for a moment, and she screamed softly in pain.
"Madame!" The maid hurriedly put the porridge bowl in her hand aside, and stepped forward in a hurry, but looking at Miranda, who was curled up, she was helpless, and screamed in surprise: "Come on!" Madame is going to give birth! ”
In a few moments, the door of the room was pushed in from the outside, and two elderly women wrapped in headscarves walked briskly into the door, one of them walking briskly to the bed, taking Miranda's hand with one hand and gently soothing her stomach with the other.
Miranda's belly gradually stopped moving, and the pain on Miranda's face weakened a lot, but after this wave of tossing, her face became even paler, lying on the bed weakly, and even her breathing became a little weak.
The two midwives looked at Miranda on the bed, glanced at each other again, sighed softly, got up and went out again.
There were already a lot of people waiting outside the door, Pabol held Palmer's hand tightly, Angus was coaxed by a maid in his arms, and the servants of the house stood quietly not far away, silently praying for the kind hostess.
Jergi's father, Serena Williams, looked a little heavy, and some important members of the Williams clan were also present. ”
"Master, I haven't given birth yet, it's a contraction, but this also means that the child is about to be born, it's just ......" The midwife stopped talking.
"Just what?" Serena Sr. asked.
The midwife hesitated for a while and said: "Madame's belly is much bigger than ordinary people, and this child is probably bigger than ordinary children, but Madame's body is extremely weak now, and this is the fourth birth, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to support her to give birth to the child......"
Everyone in the courtyard changed their faces when they heard this, everyone knew that the condition of Miranda giving birth to this child was not very good, and the last time she gave birth to Angus, she almost walked away in the ghost gate, but she didn't expect that this time the situation would be even worse.
"What do you mean by that?" Old Williams's complexion also changed, and his voice couldn't help but raise a few points.
The other midwife said with a solemn face: "Master, I can only tell you directly about the current situation, it is impossible to give birth to a child in Mrs.'s current situation, but now that the child is about to come out, you must make a choice before the next contractions, to protect the adult or the child?" ”
All the eyes in the yard fell on Old Williams, no matter who such a choice fell on, it was a cruel thing, and the expression on his face was a little unbearable.
"Mother!" Palmer's eyes turned red all at once.
"Brother, is Mother going to give us a little sister?" Pabol asked, looking up at Palmer, his little face full of anticipation.
Palmer looked down at Pabol, his throat rolled, but he nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, Mother is going to give birth to us...... Giving birth to a little sister ......"
"Great, I like little sister!" A happy smile appeared on Pabor's face, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Palmer and asked a little puzzled, "But...... Brother, why are you crying? ”
Old Williams staggered a little, reached out to support the tree beside him before he stood firmly, glanced at the direction of the room, his face was full of pain and entanglement, looked left and right, and said angrily: "What about Jergy? Where did he go? ”
"Young Master...... The young master said that he went out, but did not say where to go......" The housekeeper responded.
The midwife was a little anxious and said: "Master, now you have to decide, if it drags on any longer, Madame may ......"
"This ...... This...... If I had made a decision, Jergi would have to hate me for the rest of my life......" Old Williams slammed his fist into the tree next to him and sighed heavily.
There were already young maids in the courtyard sobbing softly, and Miranda was such a kind person that she treated them as if they were her own relatives.
The sadness spread through the courtyard, and even Angus seemed to be infected and cried aloud.
The elder Williams hung his head, but he was slow to make up his mind.
And no one in the courtyard dared to say anything, so they could only stand aside and sigh silently.
Two midwives anxiously jumped on the side, they have been midwives for decades, such a situation is not unseen, but what can they do, in this case, adults and children can only protect one, as a close relative must make a choice, once the time is delayed, in the end may not be able to keep both.
"Guaranteed...... Keep the kids! Father...... Please make sure you keep your child...... I can feel that this is a daughter, and Jergy has always wanted a daughter......"
Just when there was silence in the courtyard, Miranda's weak and resolute voice came from the room, but there was a hint of relief in the staccato voice.
The women in the courtyard couldn't control themselves anymore and cried loudly, and even the men couldn't help but turn their faces away and wipe their tears.
"Mother! Don't leave us, Mother! Mother ......" Palmer let go of Pabor's hand and ran in the direction of the room, throwing himself down in front of the door, screaming hoarsely.
"Alas......" Old Williams sighed heavily, smashed the bark on the rough bark with his clenched fist, raised his eyes to look at the midwife, and squeezed out a few words from his throat with great difficulty: "Baby......
"Even if you want to protect it, you can only protect it!"
A voice sounded like thunder from outside the door, and the fat body of Jergi, who was sweating profusely, rushed in from the door, and strode towards the room with a large clay pot in his hand, and said, "Palmer, open the door!" ”
"Father!" With a look of surprise on his face, Palmer stood up against the door and pushed it open with a force.
Jergi entered the door with a clay pot, looked at Miranda who was almost unconscious on the bed, and said distressed and affectionate: "Miranda, I'm back!" ”
