The 99th Divorce - Chapter 1933
Chapter 1933: A Perfect Life
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?”
“C-section is one option, but I would recommend natural birth. After all, your wife had a C-section when she delivered her twins here.”
The nurse was very clear that she knew what was best for Su Qianci.
The last time Su Qianci had given birth, this man hadn’t been by her side.
The nurse looked at Li Sicheng with a strange expression in her eyes.
Li Sichen nodded his head, seemingly deep in thought.
Su Qianci lay on the bed. Her complexion looked terrible.
“Mr. Li, please stay here with your wife. If anything happens, just press the service bell.”
“Anything like…?”
The nurse tried to hold back her laughter. “Like if she can’t bear the pain any longer, if her water breaks, or if anything else urgent happens. Anything, really.”
Su Qianci’s voice drifted over to them. “You may leave,” she said. “Just leave my husband alone with me here.”
The nurse knew when she wasn’t wanted and replied, “Sure. Please call me if you need anything.”
When the nurse left, Li Sicheng sat on the edge of Su Qianci’s bed.
Su Qianci gazed at her husband, finding his predicament funny and heart-wrenching at the same time.
She reached out and stroked his face.
He had missed her first time being in labor.
This time around, he was here, but Su Qianci could tell that he was anxious.
“Don’t worry. It’s actually not that painful,” Su Qianci consoled him.
The smile suddenly disappeared from Li Sicheng’s face. “Why are you consoling me instead?” he asked.
“Ha!” Su Qianci’s face was white, but she was in good spirits.”You should look at yourself in the mirror,” she retorted. “Are you in any state to console me?”
Li Sicheng grabbed her hand tightly and brought it to his lips for a kiss. “Do I look like a loser right now?”
The smile on Su Qianci’s face reached her eyes as she replied, “No, my husband will always be the best.”
Li Sicheng smiled and turned his gaze toward Su Qianci’s stomach.
Her stomach was round.
And very big.
However, it was undoubtedly a lot smaller than it was during her first pregnancy.
“Just bite me if it hurts.” Li Sicheng’s heart ached as he looked at her. “Your lips have turned blue.”
“No way. Do you know what it means when my lips turn blue?” Su Qianci was still in high spirits, but all of a sudden, another wave of pain rolled through her, and she said, “I…”
“Don’t speak. Conserve your energy.” Li Sicheng held her hand and sat beside her to keep her company.
Su Qianci felt a warm feeling in her heart.
At the very least, she was grateful that he was by her side this time around.
After two hours of labor pains, Su Qianci’s water finally broke, and the doctor and nurses wheeled her into the delivery room.
Li Sicheng had to go through a whole series of procedures before he could follow, and he could only enter the delivery room after a thorough disinfection.
When he saw his wife on the bed and the amount of blood beneath her, his heart thundered in his chest.
