Chapter 350: A Husband’s Devotion

Edmund, seeing the pain on her face, immediately pulled her into his arms. His hand cupped the back of her head, holding her as if she might shatter.

Then his gaze hardened as he turned to Dr. Celdric, his voice low and rough with desperation. "If that’s the case ... then take the baby out before it kills her."

Primrose felt as if a blade had pierced straight through her heart. The pain of hearing those words from Edmund’s lips was almost unbearable.

She understood, of course. It was the most logical choice to protect her life. Even if she insisted on carrying the baby, there was no guarantee the child would survive long enough to be born.

But deep down, guilt consumed her at the thought of choosing that path. She didn’t want to let her baby die like that.

The child inside her was already trying so hard to protect her. So why couldn’t she do the same?

Her lips trembled as she whispered, "Isn’t there ... isn’t there any other way?"

Edmund turned to her, his expression serious, his eyes clouded with worry. "Primrose, I don’t think—"

Before he could finish, Dr. Celdric raised a hand, his calm voice cutting through the storm between them. "There may be another way."

Both Primrose and Edmund looked at him at once, hope flickering in her eyes while suspicion hardened in his.

Dr. Celdric adjusted his glasses. "If the fetus is already aware enough to restrain itself, then it means the bond between mother and child is stronger than most. With careful monitoring, and if we can provide you with a strong source of energy from outside your body, it may be possible for both of you to survive."

Primrose’s eyes widened. "Truly? There’s still a chance?"

Edmund held his breath for a moment. "And what kind of ’outside source’ are you suggesting, Doctor?"

Dr. Celdric answered firmly. "The child requires energy—life force—to sustain itself. If we can supply that energy from another source, it will ease the burden on Her Majesty’s body."

He paused, then added, "Potions and rare herbs may help, but the strongest source would be your magic, Your Majesty." Dr. Celdric’s gaze shifted to Edmund. "I know you have the ability to replenish someone’s strength through your saliva. If you were to share your flow of magic and your saliva with your wife constantly, it would be enough to sustain both her and the child."

"At least five times a day would be necessary. More than that would be even better," Dr. Celdric said. "But during the night, you must continue giving her a steady flow of your magic to soothe her body. That is when the baby unconsciously draws the most energy from its mother."

Primrose swallowed hard, her throat suddenly dry. "But ... wouldn’t that put too much of a burden on my husband?"

In other words, Edmund likely wouldn’t be able to rest properly until the day their baby was born.

Before Dr. Celdric could respond, Edmund had already spoken, his voice firm and unwavering. "I can do that." He squeezed Primrose’s hand, his eyes burning with determination. "I will do that."
