Chapter 19 Are you about to give birth?

“My mother passed away when I was very young. Although mermen can only have one partner in their lifetime, my father had to shoulder the responsibility of the entire merman race. In recent years, Mingyue has been unstable, and the offspring of the tribe are scarce. He had no choice but to listen to the opinions of the people in the tribe and, like other tribal leaders, married another queen. She saw that my father favored me, fearing that I would threaten her and Jun Changxi’s position, so she constantly sowed discord between us, making my father dislike me. She even falsely accused me of injuring an elder in the tribe.

 After arguing with my father, I left the palace and lived here alone.” Hearing this, Jiang Li couldn’t help but feel sorry for this fish who had lost his mother at a young age and was abused by his stepmother. However, Jun Yue Lan’s personality was optimistic, even though his life was full of hardships, it didn’t discourage him. Seeing Jiang Li looking at him with pity, Jun Yue Lan swept away the gloom in his eyes and showed her a bright smile. “

Sister, don’t worry about me, I’ve gotten used to it over the years. It’s all in the past, we have to look forward!” The words “I’ve gotten used to it” made Jiang Li feel even more sorry for the young man in front of her. How much had he endured to be able to say with a smile that he had gotten used to it? Jiang Li had the same experience as him. She also lost her parents when she was young. She thought that she would finally have a good life when she grew up, but unexpectedly she was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

So she understood everything Jun Yue Lan had gone through, she understood… Jiang Li’s heart slowly sank. Just as she was lost in thought, Jun Yue Lan gently hugged her again. “Sister, don’t feel sad for me, as long as you are by my side, everything else doesn’t matter.” These words echoed in Jiang Li’s heart, her heart, which was once still as water, now rippled with waves.

 Although she didn’t have much feelings for Jun Yue Lan besides the debt of gratitude for saving her life, now, she felt love and pity for him. Especially these words he said, and thinking about what he had been through, Jiang Li couldn’t bear to refuse him. After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Li finally spoke softly, responding to him, “Okay, I promise you.”

 This simple sentence made Jun Yue Lan happy for a long time. He foolishly smiled and stuck to her, unwilling to let go for a long time. Just as Jiang Li was disgusted by his clinginess, she suddenly felt something wrong with her stomach. The baby in her belly was moving around again, and it was accompanied by a wave of pain.

Noticing that she was tense, Jun Yue Lan quickly looked up and asked her. “Sister, what’s wrong with you?” “Jun Yue Lan… I… my stomach hurts.” Her stomach hurt more and more, her breathing was now heavy, and her brows were tightly furrowed. Noticing something was wrong, Jun Yue Lan quickly let go of her hand, nervously looking at her.

“Sister, you wouldn’t be going into labor, would you?” Jiang Li’s breathing became heavier and heavier, the pain made her not want to speak, “It seems so.” As soon as these three words came out, Jun Yue Lan was at a loss. Didn’t the Starfish Elder say it would be a week? Why was she going into labor after only two days? Could it be that the battle just now affected the fetal movement? Jun Yue Lan saw that the expression on Jiang Li’s face was becoming more and more painful. He didn’t have time to think, he immediately picked up Jiang Li horizontally.

 “Sister, hold on, I’ll take you to a safe place!” Jiang Li gritted her teeth and nodded. Jun Yue Lan hugged Jiang Li and quickly swam forward. Jiang Li buried her face in his strong and powerful chest, due to the pain, she had to tightly grab Jun Yue Lan’s hair. Jun Yue Lan didn’t mind this, he swam forward with all his might, afraid of being too late. Jiang Li originally thought he would take her directly to the Starfish Elder, but unexpectedly, he took her to a cave.

The pain in her stomach had subsided a lot, and she came to her senses and looked around. The cave that Jun Yue Lan took her to was dark and damp, and there were occasional drips of water. Jiang Li was in so much pain that she bit her lower lip, cold sweat constantly oozing from her forehead and nose. At this moment, she missed the modern medical equipment so much. At least she could choose a cesarean section, saving her from the pain of labor.

 It felt like something was blocking her lower body, and it kept falling. Even no matter how hard she tried, the baby in her belly just wouldn’t come out. She was in so much pain that she had no strength, she couldn’t even speak, and even her breathing became shallow. She could only let cold sweat cover her whole body, her long, sticky hair scattered everywhere.

Time seemed to pass for a very long time. She was already numb from the pain, she could only feel her strength and water slowly draining away. When will Jun Yue Lan and the Starfish Elder come? She seemed… a little unable to hold on. If she really died like this, it would be a real pity…
