They were in a small town barely five kilometers away from Donghai.
Donghai's illegal circle was aware of the town's presence. However, surveillance wasn't as watertight as Donghai itself. Besides, if Mr Lang wanted to keep himself hidden, no ordinary person would be able to find him.
He had gained control over the local populace. No one was going to realize that something was amiss in that town.
Deadly danger lay in wait in the small town and five kilometers away was Donghai and its residents who were none the wiser.
Time sped past.
Lin Yuzhen's due date arrived.
"Ah!"
Intense pain had Lin Yuzhen screaming loudly. It was an agony that only those who had gone through childbirth could understand.
"The cervix hasn't dilated," the doctor told Jiang Ning after walking out of the room. "We have to wait."
He might be the battle-hardened God of War who had seen his fair share of everything, but at this moment, Jiang Ning couldn't help but tense up. There was a visible look of anxiety and worry on his face. Lin Yuzhen's pain clearly distressed him.
"Is there any way to make it hurt less?"
Jiang Ning's eyes had turned slightly red.
"We've administered the epidural, but the pain that each patient experiences differs. It all depends on the patient and how sensitive they are to pain. Miss Lin appears to be more sensitive to pain."
There was nothing that the doctor could do.
This was something that a mother had to go through. Yet the sight of the patient's husband displaying such concern and anxiety for the patient was still a moving
one.
"Mr Jiang, please don't worry. We've put together the best team possible. We'll ensure the safety of both mother and child. This is a normal part of childbirth. Every woman has to go through it. The baby will be fine."
Jiang Ning nodded. "No matter what, you must make sure that both of them come out of this safe and sound."
"Yes, sir!"
The doctor entered the ward again.
Jiang Ning desperately wished that he could be in that room as well, but he dared not disrupt the procedure. He wasn't a God of War now. In fact, he wasn't an invincible martial artist. He was just someone's husband who was distressed and worried about his wife in the maternity ward.
