A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

In the Delivery Room.

"Who is the relative of this woman? Please come in to give her some support," said the doctor.

Emily let go of Jacob's hands and rushed forward to the doctor. "I'm her best friend. I'll go," said Emily.

"No," Jacob disagreed sullenly. However, Emily cared only about Rita at this moment, so despite his disapproval, she walked straight into the delivery room and shut the door.

Inside, Rita was lying on the bed and had already been woken up due to her labour pains. She had cold sweats all over, and her face had turned pale as a ghost.

"Rita…" said Emily, anxiously. Emily never had any experience with child birth, so she had no idea what to do. However, she calmed herself down and knelt down beside Rita's bed. Emily held Rita's hands tightly and encouraged her,"Come on. You can do it!"

Rita opened her eyes slowly, as she heard Emily's voice. "Emily. Ow!" she cried.

Rita cried so loud that it made Emily's heart tremble. However, in order not to make Rita feel frightened, Emily didn't show any signs of panic, instead she said,"Come on. Rita. You can do this!"

Rita bit her lips as hard as she could, as the pain was becoming overwhelmingly hard to endure. "Emily. Don't leave me alone here," Rita implored.

"It's all right, Rita. I'm here. Don't be afraid," assured Emily.

Another sharp pain swept through Rita's body. She howled again,"Ow!"

Rita's screaming reminded Emily of how Rose looked when she was lying on the bed just hours ago. They both suffered from great pain, except Rita was suffering from the pain of labour, while Rose, from the pain of induced labour.

By now, Rita's lips were starting to bleed because of how hard she bit them. Emily was so frightened, that she rolled up her sleeve and put her arm in front of Rita's mouth. "Rita, bite me when you feel the pain. Don't bite yourself," she said.

Rita was barely conscious, so she opened her mouth and bit as hard as she could.
