From the point that Lijuan got to the hospital, she was in a zone or perhaps a trance or a meditative state. She was almost at the aluminium frame of the hospital, experiencing a great deal of pain to walk like.
From her face, anyone could tell she was fighting hard to regulate her breathing. The room was only the bed and four walls, her helpers melting into the background as if they weren't even there.
They had her change into a gown and get into bed before strapping monitors on her and watching for about 30 minutes. By this time, the contractions were getting pretty intense and difficult to bear with and what bugged her the most was the tremendous back pain.
