Alpha’s Rejected Mate Returns as Queen - Chapter 482

482 Coming To The World

Selma Payne’s POV:

A nurse observed the changes in Carey’s blood pressure and oxygen. From her calm expression, there was no problem for the time being.

Although I’d faced many bloody corpses, the blood on the operating table and the blood on the battlefield were completely different. The blood on the battlefield meant plunder and death, so there was no need to worry. Defeating the enemy was the only goal.

However, it was different on the operating table. Losing even one more drop of blood could cause irreversible damage. Thus, as a complete rookie, I had to be careful and use all my strength to take any small action under the doctor’s guidance. This made me feel a kind of stiffness and fatigue from the bottom of my heart.

This fatigue peaked when the chief surgeon cut open Carey’s uterus. It was a giant baby whose plump limbs and fair skin was not the state a newborn should have.

This meant that he was absorbing a lot of nutrients from his mother’s body to support himself, which was why Carey’s weak body could not bear the heavy pressure of childbirth.

The chief surgeon also frowned when he saw such a big fetus. If the fetus was too big, it would be stuck in the mother’s body and could not come out. After adjusting the angle many times to no avail, he had to consider widening the incision. However, this would cause more damage to Carey’s body.

“I can repair all the damage,” I said. “Please don’t worry. I’ll be responsible for any accidents.”

…..
The chief surgeon did not start immediately. Instead, he said bluntly, “I don’t understand the principle behind your power, but I must honestly tell you the risks. The incision was harmful to the uterus, and widening the incision meant increasing the possibility of subsequent complications. The best possibility is that nothing will happen, and the worst possibility is that Miss Carey will suffer from postpartum complications, lose her fertility, or even die from an infection.”

“No,” I firmly denied. “Nothing will happen to Carey. I won’t let any accidents happen.”

As time passed, everyone held their breath and stared at the operating table without blinking, praying that nothing unusual would happen again.

Finally-

As the chief surgeon heaved a long sigh of relief, the overly healthy boy finally succeeded in separating from his mother. The nurse quickly cleaned and examined him, and a loud cry announced the end of the first half of the operation.

The next step was to be even more careful: to clean and suture Carey’s wound.

Fortunately, the Goddess of Fate finally took care of us for once, and there were no more unusual situations during this process.

“Thank you for your hard work,” I sincerely thanked the chief surgeon. “Thank you for all your efforts. The mother and son would be in danger if it weren’t for you.”

The chief surgeon shook his head and said humbly, “This is my duty as a doctor, Your Highness. I should be the one thanking you for your help. Without your… Magical power to stop the bleeding, this operation would have failed.”

“I still haven’t asked for your name.”

“Kim Hopsky, the obstetrician of King’s Garden Hospital.”

Hopsky?

This surname was somewhat familiar to me. I probed, “Maybe you know Perrin Marshall? ”

“Yes, Your Highness. He is my cousin. My father and Perrin’s mother are siblings.” Dr. Hopsky laughed. “I even saw you from afar at his wedding with Avril.”

What a wonderful coincidence!

However, I didn’t have much time to chat with him. I was most concerned about Carey’s condition at this moment, so I hurriedly bade Dr. Hopsky farewell.

With the black gold moth’s effect, Carey’s wound healed quickly, and the anesthesia’s effect faded quickly. When I rushed to her bed, she was already awake.

When she saw me, she smiled calmly. “I’m very happy to see you again, Your Highness.”

“Me too.” I took her hand. “How do you feel? Does your wound still hurt?”

“I didn’t feel anything at all.” Carey shrugged. “I took a peek when the nurse wasn’t around, and the wound was almost healed. If I didn’t ask the nurse for the date, I would have thought I was unconscious for at least a week. I know that there must be some wonderful factors that caused all of this. Perhaps, it was you who helped me not to have to endure more physical pain?”

I nodded and didn’t say much. I asked if she wanted to see the child.

Carey shook her head and said with a bitter smile, “Forget it. Since I’ve already decided to cut off all ties with him, why should I pretend to cry out of my motherly heart? The birth of this child only made me heave a sigh of relief. As for other things, perhaps I’m cold-blooded by saying this, but I don’t love him.

“This is very strange. Logically speaking, I should be overwhelmed by my hormones and have no choice but to love him, but I just don’t have any feelings for him. Maybe Moon Goddess thinks I’m too pitiful, so she gave me the right not to be a slave to her children?”

Carey seemed in a good mental state, but I was still worried, so I asked Madam Marcy to observe her psychological state and, if there was any risk of collapse, for her to please intervene in time for treatment.
