Chapter 511 Save Them It wasn't just one gunshot-it was several. What happened to Sergio?

I didn't want him to get hurt because of me.

But I couldn't even protect myself now. As wave after wave of pain surged through me, I used every ounce of strength in my body, desperately trying to deliver the babies.

After a few attempts, I was completely drained, barely clinging to life.

It hurts so much. I'm so tired.

I could feel a sticky, warm mess beneath me, though I couldn't tell if it was amniotic fluid or blood.

The elderly woman who had been called in to help with the delivery had fled to a safe spot as soon as she heard the gunshots.

On this island, shootings are common, and the locals instinctively prioritize their safety.

Who would risk their life delivering a baby for a bit of money?

I could understand her decision, but I could also feel my life slipping away with each passing moment.

I can die, but my children cannot.

If no one would help me deliver, then I would do it myself.

The thought of my babies gave me a flicker of strength. I gripped the edge of the bed tightly, summoning every ounce of power I had to push.

Dear, I haven't given up, so neither can you.

Daddy is almost here. We'll see him very soon.

Be good, and you must live. You have to.

I glanced down and saw a pool of bright red beneath me I was hemorrhaging.

At that moment, I couldn't care about things like uterine prolapse or any other complications. I had only one thought in my mind: Even if it cost me my life, I have to bring these children into the world.
