Chapter 467: Childbirth
Mia quickly stepped forward to support her. "Ella, what’s wrong? Is it time? Are you about to give birth?!"
Ella clutched her belly, the pain gradually subsiding, though the lingering heaviness was deeply uncomfortable.
Luke stood up nervously as well. "What’s going on? Are you in labor?"
"Obviously! Just look at her! And yet you still upset her?" Mia shot Luke an annoyed glare before turning around and shouting loudly, "Dr. Robinson! Come here quickly!"
Dr. Robinson had been organizing Ella’s medical records when she heard Mia’s shout and rushed out immediately.
Seeing Mia help Ella onto the sofa, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Ella, are you feeling contractions that come and go at intervals? That’s called labor pain. When it starts, it typically happens every half hour, then progresses to every fifteen minutes, ten minutes, five minutes, and finally every two minutes. That’s the usual pattern. Of course, some people deliver very quickly, so we need to act fast. Let’s get to the hospital right away—it looks like today might be the day for the surgery!"
Ella, sitting on the sofa, felt the twins moving actively. Her belly was tight and slightly painful. "I don’t know. It just hurt once a little while ago. It’s only just starting..."
"Has Mrs. Harris finished packing the bags?"
Dr. Robinson frowned, knowing Ella was carrying twins. A natural delivery would be highly risky, so she and Eric had already agreed on a C-section.
"I’m here! I’m here! Has the young mistress started feeling labor pains?" Mrs. Harris arrived with a suitcase just as Eric rushed downstairs, taking it from her hands. He saw Luke and Mia surrounding Ella.
"What’s going on? Is our little girl causing trouble and making you uncomfortable?" Eric set the suitcase down and placed a warm hand on Ella’s belly.
