John still didn’t dare to think about the second child. After all, he had just witnessed the suffering Sophia was going
through.
Once is enough.
Sophia’s labor pains became more intense in the afternoon, but when the doctor came to check, her cervix was still
barely dilated.
At this point, John couldn’t sit still anymore. Sophia hadn’t eaten for almost a day and was still throwing up. There
was nothing in her stomach anymore and what she threw up was all foamy mucus. Her whole person looked
completely devoid of life. John frowned. “She has suffered for so long. How could it be that her cervix isn’t dilated
enough yet?”
The doctor sighed. “Perhaps it’s because she doesn’t have very good uterine resiliency. Wait for a while longer. We
will check the situation again at night.”

day?”
The doctor comforted John with a few words and then said that he could give Sophia a shot. This shot would make
her feel groggy, which might relieve her pain a little.
But the doctor couldn’t guarantee its effects, and he could only give one shot. No matter how much pain Sophia
was in the next time, she couldn’t take it again.
John didn’t even listen to the doctor’s explanation as he immediately replied, “Give it to her, hurry up.” Therefore,
the doctor went away to prescribe the medication, and John came over and held Sophia in his arms.
Sophia was sweating all over. Her whole body was in so much agony that she seemed to have lost consciousness,
and this caused John much distress. I wish I knew what to do to make Sophia more comfortable.
After answering a call, Matilda came in and then sighed. “Your grandmother wanted to come over, but I didn’t let
her. After all, she can’t help with anything and will only be worried. She’s getting old, so I think we shouldn’t let her
come and wait here. We’ll have her wait at home, and when Sophia enters the delivery room, we can then ask
someone to fetch her over.” John nodded. “Okay, let her stay at home.” Old Mrs. Constance didn’t come. However,
Jennifer came to visit in the evening. Jennifer pursed her lips when she saw Sophia writhing about on the bed. “This
is such a torture. I still feel scared after so many years have passed.” Dylan stood at the door, not approaching the
bed. He frowned, looking like he was upset. John held Sophia in his arms. Although the doctor gave her the shot,
she was still hurting all over. The doctor had no choice but to say that it might be because the fetal movement was
vigorous that the cervix was barely dilated, and her uterine resiliency was not good enough, so the pain would be
doubled. Sophia’s tears constantly flowed from the pain. The most unbearable thing to John was her tears. As soon
as she shed her tears, his heart constricted terribly. Dylan stood at the door with his eyes on Sophia. After a while,
he slowly turned to John. His expression was still dark.

After staring for a while, he didn’t greet anyone but turned around and left. Sophia’s cervix had only dilated by 2
centimeters at two o’clock in the middle of the night. The doctor thought for a while and had her moved to the
waiting room. Family members could not follow the patient into the waiting room. So, Sophia went over by herself.
Initially, when she was lying in the ward, her tears kept flowing, and she even choked over them. But when she got
to the waiting room, she suddenly stopped crying, because she knew there were no family members around her.
So, if she still cried, it would’ve been for nothing. Thus, she kept away those useless tears and simply lay on the bed,
taking deep breaths. The cries from other women in the waiting room were rather terrifying, much more so than
Sophia’s previous state in the ward. More than a dozen hospital beds were full of pregnant women waiting to give
birth. Some of them couldn’t bear the pain, so they were crying desperately, shouting loudly, or even calling for
help. Sophia suddenly felt that this shouldn’t be a big deal, since she could at least bear the pain. Her mind was
muddled, and she could no longer tell the time. She only knew that at the end, a doctor came over to check her
and then said that her cervix was almost fully dilated and asked her if she wanted the epidural. Sophia seemed to
see the light all of a sudden. Her voice trembled as she quickly said, “Yes, hurry up and give it to me.” The doctor
was probably informed to better take care of her. He laughed and said, “Okay, then I’ll get a wheelchair over here.
Let’s enter the delivery room, and I’ll give you the epidural.” .
