[199] A Labor with Many Twists and Turns_4

Upon arriving at Chun Xia's pre-delivery room, Tan's mother was very happy to see them, bustling about to move chairs and pour water. When asked about the pregnant woman's current condition, Tan's mother pursed her lips, "It's still the same. She can't take even the slightest pain. She doesn't think about how I gave birth to her back then. I went through the same pain, too."

Hearing her mother say this, Chun Xia, who was lying on the bed and groaning, became upset, furrowing her brow from either the pain of the contractions or her irritation as she retorted, "Look at me, even now, my water hasn't broken."

Since that morning, Chun Xia's cervical dilation progressed from three centimeters to five, but for some reason, it retracted back to three centimeters. Fang Min thought it would break naturally soon and she would show signs of labor, but it didn't happen.
