The attending doctor asked with a flicker in his eyes, "Why does it take that long? Her physical condition seems pretty good."
"I can deliver the baby once she's dilated to three centimeters, and that's already quite fast," Lin Zhi answered with a smile, meaning, I am already fast enough, if you're not satisfied, try doing it yourself.
"Could you deliver the baby earlier? That way we can go have dinner. I'll treat you to a meal later!" The director urged her quite naturally, not giving anything away.
Lin Zhi nodded, "We could go have dinner first. It might take a few hours before she's dilated to three centimeters."
"I heard you can usually get it done in one hour, so why does mine take so long?!" The expectant mother became unsettled. She had thought the birth would happen quickly, but now she was scared at the prospect of waiting for hours.
All women are afraid when giving birth, after all, the unknown pain is indeed terrifying.
