"Aaaahhh!!!!"
Suddenly, the excruciating pain returned. Emmelyn screamed and gripped Lily's hand.
"Oh no... are you having another contraction?"
Lily knew the question sounded dumb since she knew Emmelyn was in labor. Of course, Emmelyn was having another contraction. However, her question was uttered out of reflex.
She didn't know how to soothe a woman in labor. How on earth her mother and maids did that when they assisted her during labor, she didn't know. Those people must be angels who were bestowed with so much patience.
"Mr. Vitas... please help," she turned to the door and called the old physician. "Has the village witch arrived?"
The old man entered the chamber with the two maids. They brought basins filled with warm water and cloths. Childbirth would be bloody and messy.
Emmelyn bit her lip and turned to Lily. With her eyes, she begged Lily to remember her request. Lily nodded weakly.
