A few days later, as Shu Pan was about to sit down for lunch, her phone rang, signaling a new message on WeChat from Ye Xiaomeng.
Opening the message, she read that Xiaomeng was experiencing contractions and was on her way to the hospital. Being a first-time mother, the pain was undoubtedly intense.
Along the way, Xiaomeng cried out in pain, sometimes declaring she didn't want to go through with it and at other times cursing He Ming, accusing him of being useless and making her suffer alone for so long.
Despite her loud complaints, which momentarily distracted her from the pain, Xiaomeng was soon admitted to the delivery room.
Seeing her in agony for so long without any signs of progress, He Ming grew anxious and suggested a cesarean section to ease her discomfort. However, Xiaomeng insisted on natural childbirth, knowing it was better for the baby, and she was determined to endure it.
