"But she's in so much pain," Hayden said, as if he could feel Keira's pain himself.
"She's only in pain because she wants to give you a child," Lena countered, once again taking a jab at him. But as soon as she finished speaking, she recalled Aaron's words from earlier—She shouldn't have any more children in the future.
So that's why Aaron said that… He was feeling sorry for her.
A strange feeling flickered in Lena’s heart as she looked at Keira. "This pain comes in waves. When it eases, try to relax and rest. Have you eaten tonight? Did you eat much?"
Before Keira could answer, Hayden spoke for her. "She had a few dumplings and a couple of bites of cake, not much."
"That won't do. She needs strength to give birth," Lena instructed Hayden. "Go get her some egg sugar water or milk—something to replenish her energy so she has the strength to deliver."
She was right. The pain had subsided a little by now.
Keira looked at Hayden. "Go ahead and get it. Lena is here with me."
