The labor pains came in waves.
Su Qianci had just lain in bed when she felt another unbearable contraction pass through her.
This was Li Sicheng's first time seeing his wife give birth. He was so worried that his lips were pressed into a thin line. "Doctor, hurry up!" he said. "My wife is hurting!"
The nurse was speechless, but she still said to him good-naturedly, "This is normal when a woman is in labor. Once she gives birth, she'll be fine."
"And when will that be?"
"We have no idea. Her water hasn't broken yet. There's probably still some time to go before that happens."
Li Sicheng raised his voice. "How much longer do we have to wait?"
The nurse looked at Li Sicheng and replied, "Mr. Li, that depends on the woman. It's not up to us. For some it's over quickly, but for others it takes a few days."
"Over quickly? Through C-section?"
