Chapter 376 - One more! No more! (1/2)

Meanwhile...

After ending the call, another heavy sigh escaped her lips. She then returned the phone to the delicate-looking Nico Zhuang while mouthing thank you.

”Humph!” On the side, sitting with his arms crossed, Edward Lu humped through his nose as he clicked his tongue in annoyance.  ”It's only proper that he'd get his bum here as soon as possible!”

”Grandpa Lu,” Turning to the old grandpa that she reprimanded after hearing his exaggerated phone call to deliver the news to Ethan Lu, Lillian Yang mildly shook her head sideways. ”Ethan's safe arrival is also important.” She explained once again for the stubborn old man to understand.

He couldn't retort back, Edward Lu could only humph his displeasure as he couldn't win against Lillian Yang. After all, she was the only person that was calmly rational in this situation as all the men in Lexi's heart were panicking including Frederick Yang.

”Urgh...!” Pale, helpless under this tormenting contraction, Lexi didn't know what position she should go into in order to lessen the pain. She had read many articles and books about pregnancy up to the labor stage. She even went to yoga classes that were meant for pregnancy to make the baby go out easily.

Little did she know, she'd still experience this torment and it didn't seem as though the classes helped as the pain was too much for a person to handle.

”Oh god...!” Resting her forehead on the mattress while her feet stood wide apart from each other, another growl slipped from her mouth.

”Baby, it's okay it's okay. You'll be fine.” Patting her back, Frederick Yang tried to comfort his daughter.

Surprisingly enough, for the expecting grandfather of three, Frederick Yang could not bear to see his little princess experiencing such torment. Makes sense, because Lillian Yang gave birth via cesarean section because she was unable to give birth in a natural way. Moreover, there were a lot of conflicts with Lillian Yang's condition back in the day that her labor seemed to be in a completely different way than Lexi's.

”Urgh...! Ethan...! It hurts!” On the verge of crying, Lexi wanted to cry because the pain was just growing stronger and her contractions grew frequently. However, the pain was so much that even crying seemed to be impossible to do and Lexi could only growl.

Lexi remained in that position as constant howling escaped her mouth. She could feel someone rubbing her back and could hear her mother's concerned voice. Alas, Lexi's mind was already in a distraught state, that she could not get the gist of whatever her mother was saying.

She was unable to notice the ins and outs of the nurses that were constantly checking on her every so often as the contractions had already clouded her senses.

It's just pure pain— torture to be exact. If only it's not part of delivering her children, Lexi would not wish to experience this. The only thing that was keeping her to be able to persevere the pain was her children. For them, she'd endure everything.

”Love, I'm here baby.” Lexi didn't know when Ethan Lu arrived but hearing his voice, it soothed the part of her heart that was low key worried about him.

Squatting down a little, Ethan Lu leaned the side of his head to the mattress to see Lexi's sweating side profile. He didn't mind the uncomfortable position as Lexi had been in this position from the moment he arrived.
