Long, Agonizing Wait

The delivery room door opened. Everyone turned their heads to see Jin Liwei and Dom supporting a pale Iris in a customized hospital gown.

"Oh dear." Huang Yuyan immediately hurried towards them but Jin Liwei refused to leave his wife's side.

Dom stepped aside to let Huang Yuyan support Iris with Jin Liwei. 

Huang Yuyan fished out a handkerchief and wiped Iris' sweaty forehead. "How are you feeling, Xiulan?"

Iris only grunted and focused on walking in slow, laboured steps. Her mother-in-law didn't mind that she didn't respond. On the contrary, Huang Yuyan was very understanding and inquired her son instead.

Jin Liwei's expression was unsightly. He couldn't hide his fear and anxiety but was still doing his best to get it together for his wife's sake. This wasn't the time for him to crumple under pressure. Seeing his wife enduring this kind of suffering felt like there was a knife being stabbed directly into his heart.
