Caspian's golden eyes flared with sheer terror as he felt her internal temperature plummet. "Mina! Do something!"
Mina was sweating through her robes, her ears pinned flat against her head as her hands hovered over Hana's abdomen. Her mind raced frantically through every medical technique she had been taught by Hana, her breath catching in her throat.
A C-section... Mina thought, panic seizing her chest. I have to cut her open. If I don't perform a surgical extraction right now, the sheer pressure of four apex cores will tear her apart from the inside, and she won't survive the night!
She had never done it for real before. She had used dummies, just like the other practitioners Hana was training, but to cut Hana open for real. Her hands trembled. She was scared.
She looked at he midwives but it looke dlike they were also at their wit ends. They were scared and couldn't take action. So, it was up to her.
