It was 11 PM by the time He Xiyan arrived at the hospital. Her face was as white as a sheet while her stomach hurt intensely, which made her even more anxious.

Ye Hao spent a lot of money to make arrangements for the VIP birthing room in the hospital and for the best gynecologist and two nurses to accompany her throughout the entire birthing process.

He waited in the waiting area and was a bundle of nerves.

As the night grew deeper, he would hear the occasional cries of infants. Each time he heard a cry, he would stand up anxiously, a.s.suming that she had given birth. However, each time it turned out to be somebody else and not He Xiyan.

He even noticed that some women gave birth in less than an hour after being wheeled into the delivery room.

There was still no news about He Xiyan.

Dawn was about to break, what could have gone wrong?

When the relatives of the other women in the delivery room noticed his anxiety, they could not help but console him.

“Young man, don’t you worry. Some women would spend a long time in labor as compared to others, especially if the infant’s head is too big. This is probably what your wife is facing right now. If there are complications during labor, the doctor would switch to a cesarean section. Don’t worry too much about it.”

A middle-aged woman of about 50 walked by to console him, not knowing that he was not the child’s father. The child’s father was preparing for his grand wedding with his new bride that would be held on this day.

Ye Hao could not be bothered to respond. He walked into the delivery room area and asked for her doctor.

“Uh…Doctor, why don’t you switch to a cesarean section delivery instead?” He said as though he was issuing an order. Unfortunately, since he was not considered her family member, he did not have a say in the process.

“Sir, she is already 8cm dilated. She would be able to have a safe delivery if she holds on for a little longer. Please wait in the waiting area.” The doctor said, then returned to the delivery room.

In the delivery room, He Xiyan gripped her blanket tightly, her hands trembling as if she could no longer grip it tightly.

She bit hard at her lips until they bled. Each time she experienced a contraction, the pain seemed to be beyond the threshold of mere mortals.

The pain made her feel like she was about to die.

“Miss He, hang in there. We are already able to see his head. It won’t be much longer now. Come on!” The two nurses beside her continued to cheer her on.

She experienced wave after wave of contractions, the pain increasing in intensity. She grew increasingly exhausted and her pale lips quivered. She could no longer hold back her screams of pain and her screams were mixed with sobs. It was absolutely heart-wrenching to hear and the man waiting outside felt so nervous that he thought his heart was about to burst.

The screams went on for a long while and so did the pain. It wasn’t until dawn broke and the sun hung high in the sky, sending its rays through the white hospital curtains that he heard a baby wail inside her delivery room.

The child’s father was currently clad in an exquisite white suit and the make-up artist had pinned a champagne-colored rose on his chest. The make-up artist had brought up his already handsome features even more and he looked exceedingly handsome, as though he was an ancient sculpture.

He rose to his feet and his black shoes gleamed brightly as they clicked sharply on the floor. He turned and walked toward his bride. His bride was also done with her make-up and the make-up artist could not hold back an exclamation when he saw her beautiful face.

They were truly a golden couple, a match made in heaven.
