Shen Xiu arrived at the maternity ward, sweating profusely. She was just about to sit down and rest when she saw the door to the delivery room open and a female doctor walk out.
She got a start; she hadn't heard the baby's cry. Could it have been a difficult birth?
"Doctor, how is my sister-in-law?" Shen Xiu's voice was on the verge of crying.
The female doctor was startled, removed her mask, and said, "Mother and child are safe, the nurse is taking care of the baby now."
Shen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, her legs went weak, and she had to lean against the wall to not fall to the floor.
It wasn't long after the doctor left that Luo Yufang came out cradling a swaddled baby, beaming, "Old man, come and see, a big boy weighing six jin and eight liang!"
She looked up to only see Shen Xiu and was momentarily taken aback, "Xiuwa, where's your grandpa?"
