In addition to the two midwives, Lixia was also present in the delivery room.
Soon, Ms. Song and Ms. Miao, accompanied by Qiaoqiao and Qing Lian, arrived after receiving the news.
The prospect of Madam giving birth filled everyone with joy and anticipation.
After exchanging pleasantries with Shao Yunduan, Ms. Song and Ms. Miao changed into clean attire, washed their hands, and hurried into the delivery room.
Shao Yunduan refused to leave the two midwives alone with Qiao Xuan, despite their careful screening and assurance of competence.
However, when the midwives mentioned that the process would be prolonged, they meant it. Qiao Xuan drifted in and out of consciousness, sipping on chicken soup and millet porridge. As darkness descended, the room's lights grew brighter, and she finally felt the onset of labor pains.
