Chapter 834
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Jude was sent to the delivery room. After checking her condition, the doctor merely informed her to lie still and call for the doctors when she found the pain unbearable. The facilities were great considering that they were in a private hospital. Not only were there doctors and nurses accompanying them throughout the process of labor, but Charles was also allowed to stay. Other than that, Jude didn't need to be moved, as they would be using the same room throughout the process.
"Argh! I'm dying! I don't want to live anymore!" Jude was struggling and shaking her head vehemently while the doctors and nurses tried to soothe her.
All the while, Charles could only watch from the side. "Isn't this supposed to be a painless delivery? Why won't you apply anesthetics for her even when she's in so much pain?" he questioned the doctor. "Although you did opt for painless delivery, we can't apply anesthetics to her from the beginning. We just checked, but her cervix is only one centimeter wide. We can only apply anesthetics after it's two centimeters wide. Applying it too early will affect the cervix's dilation." The doctor remained calm throughout her explanation.
Charles' face was flushed when he yelled at the doctors, "Think of something else! Can't you see she's in so much pain?"
At that time, Jude was in between contractions. Although Charles never was a gentleman, he wasn't the type of person to yell at another woman. Never did she expect to see him lose his cool like this with the doctor. Well, this is something else, she thought.
"We have no effective way to alleviate the pain. We could recommend some poses that might help if her water hadn't broken. Since it already broke, she has no other choice but to lie on her back. However, I dare say that the dilation will be over because her water has broken, so please bear with it."
Therefore, Charles could only return to Jude's side to hold her hand. "Jude, I will be with you."
Tears were rolling down her cheeks as she spoke. "You owe me for life! I will never give birth to a baby anymore!"
"Yes, we will never do this again. I wouldn't have impregnated you if I knew how hard it is!" Charles was starting to regret his life choices. "I owe you for life."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Argh!" Due to another contraction, Jude let out a wail.
Both the doctors and nurses shook their heads. "This won't do. It's best that you don't waste stamina on wailing, or else you won't have any strength left when you deliver the baby."
"Won't you wail when you're in pain?" Charles scolded, but he then quickly turned to comfort Jude. "Let's not

Upon hearing that, Jude did her best to suppress her wails, but she still couldn't help herself. Who the heck

By the time the next contraction happened, Charles couldn't take it anymore. "Let's go for a C-section!"
"No!" Jude grabbed his arm. "I'm not doing a C-section! It will leave a hideous scar!"
"But a C-section will end things quicker, so you won't have to suffer."
Jude kept on shaking her head regardless of the pain. "No, I don't want it! What's the progress of the dilation? Has it still not reached two centimeters yet?" Hearing that rendered the doctor speechless.
None of them expected that it would
be dawn when they finally reached the two-centimeter mark. As soon as the anesthetics were applied, Jude felt relief wash over her, and the world seemed like a much better place all of a sudden. Although she could still feel the contractions, it was heaven compared to what she went through last night; she even got to have a meal.
