Primrose wasn't exaggerating when she said she was scared. For heaven's sake, she was truly worried after hearing what the doctors had said.

"I just sent a soldier to bring Dr. Celdric," Edmund said as he walked into her chamber. He looked even more restless than she did, but at least he tried his best to stay calm so he wouldn't make his wife more anxious.

"That's alright." Primrose nodded and, without thinking, placed her hand over her stomach beneath the blanket. "I can wait a little longer."
