Ling Chuxia struggled to eat something, and Shi Che helped her out of bed. They slowly walked a lap around the corridor. Soon after lying down again, her cervix had dilated to ten fingers, and Ling Chuxia was immediately wheeled to the delivery room by the nurse.
After a whole night of tossing and turning, Ling Chuxia thought she was mentally prepared, even eager to give birth quickly. But when the moment actually arrived, her heart still hung in mid-air, filled with nervousness, panic, fear, and anticipation as various emotions uncontrollably boiled inside her.
Shi Che seemed to sense her emotions. He walked with her bed, holding her hand tightly, as if giving her strength.
When they reached the entrance of the delivery room, Shi Che held Ling Chuxia's hand, gently kissing the back of it. His voice was deep and slightly hoarse, but strong, "Chuxia, don't be afraid, I'm here waiting for you and the baby."
