The Second Difficult Choice
After cuddling with Minos for a moment, Abby clenched her fists, mustering the strength needed to give her answer.
'I choose to save the mother!' She said in her mind as she closed her eyes, feeling the contradiction in her heart.
The moment Abby gave her answer, the Goddess of Life did not answer her back, but the people who seemed to have frozen in time a few moments ago moved again.
"Let's save the mother!" The midwife said in determination as her helpers began to make the necessary preparations.
"No! Don't do that!" The pregnant woman broke into despair, feeling relief at not having to die but much more sadness in her being at having to lose her baby.
"Please save him..."
But the women there ignored her pleas as the midwife used her instruments to remove part by part of the baby from the mother's womb.
