In the outer room, a group of women sprang to their feet at the sight of Carissa, but she didn't spare them a glance. She lifted the curtain and strode inside, with Violet close behind.

When Carissa saw Leona's condition, she gasped in shock.

How did Leona injure her forehead?

"Ivy, how are things?" Carissa grasped Leona's hand and settled at the edge of the bed, using her sleeve to wipe away the sweat and tears from Leona's face.

Ivy was administering acupuncture, the quilt pulled high, revealing a belly covered in needles.

With a heavy sigh, Ivy said, "It's more than just a case of disturbed labor. I'm afraid the fetus may have been harmed. We've given her labor-inducing medicine, but there are no signs of delivery yet-it's already been three hours." Leona's face twisted in agony. "Cari... It hurts so much."

"Don't be afraid, okay? I'm here, Leona." Carissa reassured her, turning to Ivy. "Is Sebastian not in the city?"

"He's treating someone on the outskirts. Alana has gone to fetch him. Let's hope she gets back in time." Ivy tried to maintain a calm demeanor to comfort everyone, but the slight tremor in her voice betrayed her tension and worry.
