It’s a bit embarrassing to admit, but I don’t remember much right after giving birth.

I had focused all my energy on bringing Ethan’s child into the world, so much so that the moment I heard the baby’s cries, I fainted right away.

When I finally regained consciousness, several hours had passed since I had collapsed from exhaustion.

After all, I had struggled for over ten hours just to give birth, so it wasn’t surprising that I couldn’t stay awake any longer. The only reason I had managed to hold on for that long was sheer willpower, refusing to collapse until I’d finished.

When I woke up, the view outside the window showed a bright blue sky, like it was morning again. And the first thing I saw was Ethan sitting beside my bed, looking at me with a worried expression.

“Uh… uh…?”

“Lilith, how’s your body…?”
