Seeing Xia Ruqing's tears flowing freely in her agony, Zhao Junyao truly felt an indescribable pang in his heart. If only he could take her place!
"Qingqing, don't be afraid, I am here!"
Xia Ruqing disregarded everything else, gripping his hand with all her might, enduring the excruciating pain radiating from her body.
"AH!" Another cry escaped her.
It hurt so, so much; it felt as if her entire body was being torn apart!
Zhao Junyao's heart clenched. He let her channel all her strength into gripping his hand, his own expression unchanging.
Zhao Junyao turned his head to ask the midwife, "How much longer?"
Xia Ruqing's eyes lit up. Coincidentally, she wanted to know too! She immediately perked up her ears to listen.
The midwife glanced down, then reached out to check before finally answering, "If it goes quickly, two Shi Chen; if it's slow, then..."
If it was slow, it was uncertain.
