In the Ocean Villa.

There was only a dim lamp in the room. Minerva laid on the bed, half- asleep, and was feeling extremely uneasy.

Maddox, who had been by her side, sensed something wrong with her emotions. He held her hand and said softly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Minerva was afraid that he would be worried. On top of that, she felt just slightly uncomfortable, so she did not tell him about it as she shook her head with a smile.

"Not really. I just can't seem to fall asleep..."

"Don't be afraid. I'm here." Maddox stretched out his arm and gently tucked the loose strands of her hair behind her ears. His voice was calm and poised, and it made her feel inexplicably safe and secure. Minerva nodded. She closed her eyes again and tried to sleep.

She was honestly quite sleepy and wanted to sleep, but her stomach was uncomfortable. It felt familiar... Like that night she gave birth to Beanie.

But there were still two days until she was due to deliver. Could it be that she was going to give birth in advance?

She'd better not scare herself. Minerva comforted herself as she closed her eyes.

After a while, she fell asleep dazedly, but the uncomfortable feeling in her stomach was getting more intense by the minute as if the baby in her belly was eager to come out.

Minerva opened her eyes again and met the nervous look in Maddox's eyes.

Her lips parted, but to her surprise, it was vaguely difficult for her to speak.

"Don't be nervous. I've already made a call. Auntie will be here soon."

"Auntie?" Minerva remembered that Abigail used to be a doctor and might know little about it, so she nodded.

Maddox wiped the cold sweat on her forehead as his heart ached, "Is your stomach hurting?"

"Yes, a little." Minerva nodded. The uncomfortable feeling was more obvious than before. She felt that she might be giving birth two days earlier than the expected date. She would tell Abigail about it when she arrived.
