In reality, there were some things even Lily could not control. She had initially considered things, hoping for a way to gather helpful information during the delivery.
‘Perhaps… If…’
However, there were no “ifs” and “perhaps.”
Lily passed out from the intense pain before the delivery. This delivery was much more painful and tumultuous than the last. When she regained consciousness, she realized her belly had flattened, and she was lying somewhere resembling a hospital room.
The surrounding walls were all white, and there were hardly any extra items in the room. The doctors had also hooked her up to an IV.
Lily also had no idea when someone removed her blindfold. Although she could see, it made no difference.
‘There’s nothing here at all. It’s just another unidentifiable place. More importantly, where are my children?!’
She found no signs of her children, even after searching around. As she touched her belly, it was evident she had undergone a cesarean section since there was a stitched wound on her stomach, temporarily limiting her movements. Any slight movement caused pain.
‘Where are my children?!’
It was her first time feeling such panic after being here for so long.
"Help!" Lily thundered.
There was no sound. No one responded, just like before.
"Ms. Christian, you just gave birth, and your body is weak. You need more rest!" Instead of directly answering her question, he tried to console her.
Lily utterly ignored his words and continued to ask, "Where are my children? I'm asking you, where are my children?! If you don't return them to me, I'll die here! I'm sure your boss doesn't need a corpse, right?!”
She grabbed the needle she had pulled out and pointed it at her neck.
Her actions frightened the two doctors. They looked at each other hesitantly.
One of them said, “Ms. Christian, some things are beyond our control. Why do you have to do this? It’s not good for you to stress your body like this. Lie down, and we can discuss things.”
