After the two left, Carter leaned over to her, "Are you really going? Don't force it if you don't want to."
"Why, don't you want me to accompany you?"
"Of course not!" He shook his head, not like a cold-faced iceberg at all, "I want to be with you all the time."
Even in those bitter scenes of life and death, the lines that pour out their hearts are nothing more than this. She thought it was an exaggerated expression unique to dramas, but she didn't expect to meet such a person. May glanced at him, "Oh? Then my Majesty Roland and I, who do you want to stay with more?"
"Uh... this," Carter was speechless for a while, probably he had never considered how to choose between duty and love.
May was amused and patted his cheek, "Okay, it seems that my status is on par with the king."
The chief knight heaved a sigh of relief, and hugged his wife into his arms, and the movements of his hands were not honest.
"Stop! It's still daytime," she was about to dispel the other person's impetuous thoughts, when a sour gas suddenly rushed into her throat, "vomit"
Carter stopped immediately and asked with concern, "What's going on? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
May shook her head, pushed the knight away, and took a deep breath. Although there was no other abnormality in his body, he still felt a little nauseated and wanted to vomit, as if something was churning in his stomach. She went to the toilet and retched twice, but couldn't spit out anything but some saliva.
"I'll call Miss Lily right now." Carter was in a hurry, he put on his coat and prepared to go out.
"Wait...wait," May stopped him, "I didn't catch the cold."
"But you're like this... Your Majesty's textbook said that the early symptoms of wind chills are vomiting and diarrhea. Miss Lily's ability can quickly cure this disease. The longer it goes on, the more serious it will be."
"Maybe I'm not sick..."
"Not sick?" Carter frowned, "Then why do you feel sick?"
For this fool without common sense, May's cheeks were flushed, and she had heard some people say that if there is... that, there is a high probability that a similar reaction will occur. But she has no experience with this. If she makes a mistake, wouldn't she laugh out loud? She was very happy to see her husband's comical gaffe, but she couldn't make mistakes in this critical judgment, otherwise he would definitely laugh at him for the rest of her life.
"In the Witch League... I remember there was a green-haired woman who could see through, right?"
"You mean Miss Sylvie?" Carter nodded, "She can indeed see hidden things that ordinary people can't see... But, she can't heal."
"Can I invite her over?" May slowly returned to the bedside in the bedroom, obviously just guessing, but she involuntarily relaxed her hands and feet, as if she was afraid of shocking something in her stomach, "Maybe Miss Sylvie can know why."
"You mean..." Carter also reacted at this time, he opened his mouth wide, his eyes brightened a little, and then clenched his fists heavily, "I will go to Ms. Wendy immediately, if she is in the inner city, she should no problem."
…
After the door was closed, May let out a soft sigh of relief. This feeling was really unpleasant. It was less than half an hour before and after, and life seemed to have more meaning. It was just a possible opportunity, but it made her feel warm all over. stand up. Closing her eyes, she couldn't help but imagine Jasmine's expression when she handed her the salted fish.
This is probably the taste of... hope
That night, Sylvie confirmed her guess.
She is pregnant.
*****************
"Congratulations," Roland, who learned the news the next day, patted the excited Carter Lannis, "but there are still several months before the baby is born, so don't delay your work. Before giving birth, I will I'll give you a long vacation and let you spend it with her."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Carter said loudly, rubbing his chest.
"By the way, how will the child be born?" Roland suddenly thought of a very important thing, "Is there a midwife in Neverwinter?"
"Midwife?" asked the chief knight in confusion. "What is that?"
"It's the person who delivered the birth. When the child is born, someone has to... er, help me deal with it." While replying, Roland searched the memory of the next fourth prince, and found that the palace tutor had not taught the relevant knowledge, "I can't let women Cut the child's umbilical cord yourself?"
"Ah, this kind of thing is usually done by the elders, and most of them have had similar experiences."
"What if there is no such elder?"
"This..." Carter was stunned, "I don't know."
There is no shortage of manpower in aristocratic families with luxuriant foliage, but civilians certainly do not have such conditions. It has only been a year since Neverwinter was established. Most of the population comes from recruitment and migration, and births are rare. However, once the lives of residents are stabilized, the fertility rate will definitely rise sharply. It is foreseeable that from next year, a large number of new lives will come into this world every year.
The problem is that Neverwinter still doesn't have a reliable medical system.
You can't blame Roland for being negligent. Other cities don't have this thing either. When people get sick, they can only pray to the sky, or take out a few silver wolves and buy some strange herbs from the pharmacist. Because of Nana and Lily, Neverwinter City has almost cut off illness and pain, so that he has not started to establish a medical system.
In his original opinion, even if technology advances by leaps and bounds and jumps directly into the information age, the highly developed modern medicine can only be used to wash the feet in front of the two little girls, so this matter has been delayed again and again. .
But now Roland found that even if it fell behind, the medical system was absolutely necessary for a city of 100,000 people.
For example, it is impossible for Nana and Lily to be responsible for things like giving birth... Not to mention that they are too busy, once they are caught in the war with the devil, they may have to rush to the front line, and the patients in the city can only It's up to the townspeople to figure it out.
After Carter retired, Roland opened the notepad and wrote down his thoughts about the primary medical institution.
It's a blank anyway, so let's start with having children.
Establishing hospitals, cultivating medical staff, popularizing hygiene knowledge, and the most basic means of treatment... Fortunately, these things already have a certain foundation in the First Army. As long as the propaganda manuals used in the army are changed, they can be regarded as Part of the popularization of teaching materials is widely publicized, and the first batch of medical and nursing teachers can also be selected from the First Army.
Even if he didn't know anything about modern medicine, Roland clearly remembered how important it was to sterilize equipment and prevent wound infection in future deliveries.
As for the others, it can be fully researched in the future.
In the afternoon, he received good news.
Tilly Wimbledon brought Ashes and the others back to the west again. (… )
