The nurse came over to monitor Tan Yanli's fetal heart and did an internal examination, discovering that her cervix was already dilated to seven centimeters. The nurse exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, you're already at seven centimeters, and the contractions are very intense, yet you're not making a sound. That's impressive! Other mothers-to-be would have been crying and yelling by now!"
She turned to Deng Zhiyi and said, "You're such an unqualified husband. You don't even know how to comfort a laboring woman! Letting her endure the contractions all by herself! You can massage her back to help alleviate the pain a bit!"
Deng Zhiyi had no idea that Tan Yanli was in labor pain. He looked at her awkwardly and asked, "Does it hurt a lot? Let me massage you!"
"No need, I can handle it!"
