King's Maker [+18]

Chapter Sixty-nine

What does this mean? I shouldn't flush it just yet, I should talk with him.

I went out and looking at him sleeping makes me feel terrible that I will disturb him. "Your Highness?" Hmm, he seems much more tired than usual.

I tapped his arm and he hummed. He slowly opened his eyes and when he saw it's me, he sat up. "Hungry? What do you want?"

"Can you call the doctor, please?" He looked at me, "what are you feeling? Are you having a fever?" He stood up, not even letting me talk.

"No, it's just that, I have a question for him." He raised his brow. "That is?"

"I peed and I noticed mucus on it, and it had little blood, Your Highness." He talked to his guard and made him ask for the doctor right away. 

I watched the two talk in the distance..

I'm anticipating what it means. I hope it's not something dangerous for the baby.

He then looked at me bewildered then the doctor went off. "Would you rather change?" He sounds frantic now and went inside his closet.

"Uh, Your Highness, what's happening?" It's making me panic. "Does anything hurt?"

"No, nothing hurts, Your Highness." He came out fully clothed and it's making me furious that he isn't answering me.

"Can I please know what is happening?"

"Labor, you're about to labor." I froze. Oh God. This is the day. I'm not due until next week. Oh God, she's ready.

"Seong! Take these bags." Mr. Seong came in and carried all of the bags, including the ones King Jeon prepared months ago.

He held my shoulder and looked me in the eyes. "How are you feeling?"

"N-Nervous.." he held my cold hands. "I'm with you along the way, they will not neglect you."

I nodded but still out of my head. "Your hands are cold. Don't panic." He kissed my knuckles. "Would you rather stay in your nightgown?"

I shaked my head. "Alright, stay here." He went inside the closet and came back with a simple white dress. He wore it on me and tied my hair.

"Ah!" I shrieked when I suddenly felt my water break. Water came running down my legs and it's making me anxious.

He just wiped me clean all over.

I tried to breathe through my nose. He held my face and we locked eyes.

I feel so wary at the moment but his eyes tell me to relax. I nodded my head to tell him that I'm ready to go.

He assisted me down the stairs. "Is it hurting now?"

"Not yet, Your Highness." We're approaching the carriage and he helped me to really get inside safely. Before he gets in, he's talking to a guard. "Have them clean my chamber."

"Yes, Your Highness."

He got in right after and that's when I started to feel some pain crippling. "Ah.."

"Seong, the hospital." The carriage started right away and we passed by people that knew nothing of me. They're only waving at the carriage.

Ten minutes or so and the pain starts to feel more untolerable. "H-Ha.."

"Hang in there, we're almost there." He rubs my tummy and it's quite comforting. He wrapped his arm on my back as I took deep breaths.

The carriage stopped and I looked at the window, we're here.

But I noticed that this isn't the entrance. "Your Highness?" Mr. Seong got out of the carriage to get the bags. "You are confidential, remember? This other entrance will go straight to the doctor's delivery room."

I see. He went out of the carriage through the other side of the door and opened the one near me and helped me to get out.

I quickly held onto him and groaned when another wave of contraction hit me. I want her out now!

I couldn't move my legs anymore so he had to carry me.

We went inside and I saw the doctor already dressed. He laid me down on a bed and two nurses came to me with the doctor.

"I will just check the dilation of your cervix." Doctor said, this pain is unbearable!

"Ah!" Another contraction makes me feel hurt all over my system, as if I don't know anymore where exactly it is painful.

"God, please let her out." I grunt.

Doctor propped my feet on something sturdy and he lifted my dress. I felt his fingers in me. "Good news, you're already seven centimeters dilated, she'll be out here quicker than we've anticipated."

King Jeon went to my side and held my hand. "How much further before the baby gets out?" He asked the doctor. "Her cervix must dilate ten centimeters."

"Haaa!" How is this getting much worse than the last! I curled my toes and sweat all over my body as the pain was about to kill me.

I gripped his hand and I felt my lower extremities numb from the pain. "Ah!!"

"Is there another way to help her?"

"An anesthesia-" he cuts him off, "get her that." I see the doctor nodding.

Two of the nurses helped me sit up and lifted the back of my dress. "This procedure needs to be injected in the spaces of your spine, it will take effect shortly after."

Oh, thank God. I then felt something stung in my back and I groaned but I couldn't feel it that strongly due to the numbing effect of the contractions.

They laid me down after. I already felt beaten up and I started to hate King Jeon for putting me in this situation.
