Novel & Cerita Call The Midwife Books By Jennifer Worth

"It just happens that my maid, who is here with me today, is a doctor. "She's my mother's accomplished student and is especially skilled in acupuncture. Wendy, please have a look at Ms. Bennett." "Sure!" Wendy sounded overly excited. Roxy was lying against Delia, and Delia could clearly feel her shudder. She watched as Wendy neared, and a cold sweat broke out all over her. "There's no need. The Holy Maiden doesn't need—" Victoria cut her off sternly, "Don't you trust my mother? Or is it I whom you distrust?"

That was therapeutic and enough to get my mind over what had happened in the last twenty-four hours, especially what Henry had now carved into my mind about us being drawn to each other. "Oh my poor babies. How I missed you both so much." I said, leaning down to kiss them on the forehead for the umpteenth time. I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if Chrysantha had taken them away from me. My only light in this dark world. "My lady!" A familiar voice called from the door. I turned to see the midwife who had been helping me tend to my babies. She was an elderly woman who was far more knowledgeable than me in taking care of babies. What would I have done without her?

“Tell him I waited…” “No!” the maid sobbed, her grip tightening. “You shall tell him yourself! You will hold your child in your arms, and you will call your husband’s name, do you hear me?” But the woman’s head lolled to the side, her mouth parted in silent prayer. Her skin, bathed in sweat, began to pale beneath the flickering firelight. The midwife felt for movement beneath her hands. Her face blanched. “The child lives,” she whispered, “but he will not last long.”

Ruth finished her senior high school two years ago and she is now working at the local library as an attendant. "Catherine the midwife told me that you did a great job. She also said that you are a strong woman. The truth is that I was scared to death. I don't know that giving birth could be this tough." She said. "I thank God that my boy is here with me now. I never regretted the pains I passed through because of him, seeing him makes every pain count'. She said smiling at the little bundle of joy in his arms. Just when she thought she was all alone God chose to bless her with a son.

They had planned that when she will be having their child, he will be beside her, holding her hands and saying soothing words to her, encouraging her. But no! That was all a daydream. She was driven by circumstances and he was snatched away from her. The mid wife stood up and exited the room. The lady was fiddling with the hem of her top in anxiety. She turned around as soon as she heard the door creak open. "How's she? How's the child? Are.. they fine?" She bombarded her with lots of questions. "Elder Witch Simone." The midwife cut her off. "The baby and Elder Witch Eleanora are quite fine. There's no cause for worry." The midwife soothed her with her words. Simone heaved a sigh of relief.

另一边； The clinic smelled of disinfectant and faint lavender. Daniel stood beside Eleanor, one hand resting lightly at her back as the nurse called her name. It was supposed to be a simple visit—one last prenatal check before he left to “inspect the front-line camps.” That was the story he had told everyone. Including himself. Eleanor moved slowly, deliberately. She wore a pale blue dress that accentuated her belly just enough to invite attention. As they walked through the corridor, two officers’ wives nodded at her with practiced sympathy.

"I know, love. But you're strong. Stronger than anyone I've ever known." I shook my head, another sob breaking free. "I'm not. I'm just..." "You are," he interrupted, his hand sliding down to cradle my swollen belly. "You've survived everything they threw at you. You survived Zac. You survived me. You'll survive this." The midwife, an older woman named Elara with silver-streaked hair and steady hands, moved around the room with quiet efficiency. She lit candles, their warm glow pushing back the shadows that danced on the walls. She glanced at me, her expression calm but serious.

Meagia, feeling a surge of adrenaline, braces herself for the beautiful and life-changing moment ahead. “Eskaal. Call Eskaal.” As Meagia's yelling increases and she starts calling out Eskaal's name, the midwife calmly instructs the maid to quickly fetch the necessary items. The room fills with a sense of urgency as everyone prepares for the imminent arrival of the baby.

She felt the witch’s hands on her stomach. “What are you doing?” She groaned out. “I’m a midwife,” the witch replied with a reassuring smile. “I’m just trying to feel what position baby is in. You’re doing great. How far apart are the contractions?” “Do I look like I have a watch?” Aislen snapped back.

But I couldn't focus on his words, not when the scene before me was unraveling everything I thought I knew about myself. The midwife laid my squirming infant body on the bed beside my dying mother. Without ceremony, she drew the knife across her own wrist. Blood welled up immediately, dark and glistening in the flickering candlelight. She held her bleeding palm above my tiny mouth, letting the first drops fall onto my lips while her other hand still clutched the knife awkwardly. What happened next unfolded with nightmarish speed.
