"No. She just asked me to head over to the Ji Mansion to assist you and ruin Alston's plan first. As for
the rest, we'll have to wait and see. I want to see Isis immediately. The baby will be born soon, right?"
Rocky shook his head. He continued explaining that for the past six months, what he missed the most
was Isis and the baby she carried in her belly. The baby would arrive soon and he didn't want to miss a
single moment.
"How time flies! You'll be a father soon," Sabina said cheerfully, although her eyes seemed to say
otherwise.
Rocky smiled in return. After making some preparations, the two of them left the Ji Mansion and rushed
to the Gehenna Border together.
One day later, Rocky and Sabina finally arrived at Evian City via the Gehenna Border. Since Rocky
wasn't allowed to immediately head to the Crimson Dragon Group's base camp, he requested Sabina
for a special arrangement so that he'd have a chance to see Isis and the baby.
However, fifteen minutes later, Sabina came back in a hurry. Without mincing any words, she pulled
Rocky aside and said, "Come with me."
"What's happening? Is it Isis?" Rocky asked with a frown.
"She's had difficulty with the labor since last night. It appears she's dying!" Sabina replied quickly.
Rocky's body trembled at her words.
Before Sabina could react, Rocky had already disappeared.
He arrived at the base camp as quickly as he could and went straight to the Isis Pavilion. Once he
arrived at the door, he heard a heart-wrenching scream filled with pain come from upstairs.
Rocky jumped and flew up the stairs. As he landed on the ground, he saw behind the curtain a very
busy midwife whose forehead was shiny with sweat. She was assisted by maids who were occupied
with fetching hot water into the delivery room. The rags they brought out were soaked in blood and
turned the water crimson.
Outside the curtain, a delicate figure paced back and forth anxiously.
"Marin…" Rocky called out as he walked towards her.
Once Marin turned towards whoever was calling her, she was met with a tall figure heading her way. At
first, she was stunned. Once she saw the person's face, she was shocked and wanted to call out.
"Get them out of here." Rocky ordered into Marin's ear as he strode forward and covered her mouth.
Marin, of course, found it hard to believe that it was Rocky (who had previously died) who appeared
before her. But his familiar face and breath erased all of her doubts and she knew it was him. Although
she didn't know why he asked them all to leave, she immediately nodded in agreement.
Once Rocky let go of Marin and retreated into a corner, she went into the room and said to the midwife
and the maids, "You may leave now. Your services are no longer needed."
Initially stunned by her order, the midwife and maids followed Marin's order and headed downstairs.
Once they all left, Rocky walked to Isis' side. She was clearly in great pain. Her lips were pale; her
consciousness began to falter, and she was covered in sweat. Her hand firmly clutched the quilt that
was stained with fresh blood. She was fragile and weak.
"Isis, don't worry. I'm here!" Rocky announced gently as he held her hand in his.
Isis immediately regained consciousness at the sound of her name on Rocky's lips. She looked at him
and said in a faint voice, "Hurry… Save... my baby... Forget… about me…"
"Don't worry. You and our child will be safe. I promise." He assured her with a genuine look before
calling out to Marin who waited outside, "Come in and help me."
Once she entered, she frowned and her heart ached at the sight of Isis on the bed in agony.
"She's suffering from severe blood loss. It's making the baby's delivery difficult. The only solution now is
an operation," Rocky informed Marin frantically.
"Operation? Won't that endanger the baby?" Marin asked as she couldn't help but tremble. Despite
Rocky's exceptional Beast Curing Skill, she still had her doubts. Opening a spirit-manipulated beast's
belly was different from a human's.
"It's the only way to save Isis and the baby," Rocky declared firmly. He opened the Magic Spiritual
Space urgently and headed to the lab to gather all the necessary surgical tools and supplies. He
requested Marin to help disinfect the tools with alcohol before starting the operation.
Isis was weak, so Rocky didn't dare to inject her bloodstream with anesthetic out of fear that she'd go
into shock after passing out. Instead, he applied anesthetic onto her lower abdomen where the surgery
was needed.
"Isis, the pain may be excruciating but you have to endure," Rocky said.
Isis responded with a firm nod. He took another piece of white cloth and placed it in her mouth for her
to bite on. This would prevent her from biting on her tongue from the pain.
"Once I open the belly, I need you to take the baby out immediately so I can operate on Isis." Rocky
guessed that Isis' blood loss was severe, so he had to stop the bleeding right away once the baby was
taken out of her womb. Otherwise, she might go into shock and then…
Marin felt uneasy, but she steadied herself and nodded.
"Let's begin." Once he said those words, Rocky took out a scalpel and began to slice Isis' belly open.
Immediately, blood gushed out of her like a river.
He quickly reached for the pincers to keep her belly open and hold it up. Soon, the baby soaked in a
pool of blood was exposed.
"Now!" Rocky signaled Marin.
Trembling slightly, she reached into Isis' womb and retrieved the baby covered in blood and with the
umbilical cord still attached to its belly. It was a boy.
Rocky glanced at the baby at once. Once he confirmed the baby was breathing, he let out a sigh of
relief. Then he said to Marin, "Check his mouth and nose to make sure they're not clogged with blood.
If they are, clean it up immediately. His breathing is shallow. Keep gently pressing on his chest to help
him breathe, but don't press too hard."
Marin immediately carried out his instructions.
Rocky began to work on stopping the heavy bleeding. However, as a result, Isis was now in a semi-
coma.
