Si Shuo had been in intermittent pain all day and thought she wouldn't go into labor until the next morning. But just after dinner, the contractions started coming fast and hard.
Yimei quickly ushered Zhi Le and the others out, telling them to boil some water and be on standby.
"We'll have two or three of us stay in the room to help you," the males said, unwilling to leave. They insisted at least two of them had to stay by the young female's side.
Xu Chi, for his part, was already sitting by the bed, clutching Si Shuo's hand. He was like a wooden statue, deaf to everything being said.
Yimei was at a loss and could only let them be. She watched Si Shuo's condition closely, occasionally casting her Healing Technique to help ease the pain.
'I look a mess right now, I need to protect my image and get these men out of here!'—such thoughts never even crossed Si Shuo's mind.
