Xie Ruotong nodded.
Nervously nodded.
"You need to relax, don't be afraid. It's just beginning now; you have to conserve your energy," An Ning soothed, "In a while, follow the midwife's instructions and push down. It'll come out soon."
"Okay." Xie Ruotong relaxed her breathing, "I'm glad you came back. Without you, I don't know..."
An Ning smiled, saying, "This child has fate with me."
"Yes, the Imperial Physician said the child was overdue for many days but showed no signs. You returned today, and she wanted to come out." Xie Ruotong chatted with An Ning.
Also to distract herself.
Not wanting to be too tense.
Everything was ready.
The midwife checked Xie Ruotong's condition and said, "It's just starting to show signs. Based on previous deliveries, we might need to wait a bit. I suggest the General eats something so she'll have energy later."
"Alright." Xie Ruotong nodded.
The midwife quickly sent someone to prepare some food in the kitchen.
The door opened.
