They were in a small town barely five kilometers away from Donghai.

Donghai's illegal circle was aware of the town's presence. However, surveillance wasn't as watertight as Donghai itself. Besides, if Mr Lang wanted to keep himself hidden, no ordinary person would be able to find him.

He had gained control over the local populace. No one was going to realize that something was amiss in that town.

Deadly danger lay in wait in the small town and five kilometers away was Donghai and its residents who were none the wiser.

Time sped past.

Lin Yuzhen's due date arrived.

"Ah!"

Intense pain had Lin Yuzhen screaming loudly. It was an agony that only those who had gone through childbirth could understand.

"The cervix hasn't dilated," the doctor told Jiang Ning after walking out of the room. "We have to wait."

He might be the battle-hardened God of War who had seen his fair share of everything, but at this moment, Jiang Ning couldn't help but tense up. There was a visible look of anxiety and worry on his face. Lin Yuzhen's pain clearly distressed him.

"Is there any way to make it hurt less?"

Jiang Ning's eyes had turned slightly red.

"We've administered the epidural, but the pain that each patient experiences differs. It all depends on the patient and how sensitive they are to pain. Miss Lin appears to be more sensitive to pain." There was nothing that the doctor could do.

This was something that a mother had to go through. Yet the sight of the patient's husband displaying such concern and anxiety for the patient was still a moving

one.

"Mr Jiang, please don't worry. We've put together the best team possible. We'll ensure the safety of both mother and child. This is a normal part of childbirth. Every woman has to go through it. The baby will be fine."

Jiang Ning nodded. "No matter what, you must make sure that both of them come out of this safe and sound."

"Yes, sir!"

The doctor entered the ward again.

Jiang Ning desperately wished that he could be in that room as well, but he dared not disrupt the procedure. He wasn't a God of War now. In fact, he wasn't an invincible martial artist. He was just someone's husband who was distressed and worried about his wife in the maternity ward.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." "Let's wait a little longer. Don't panic." Everyone around Jiang Ning tried to comfort the man. They had never seen him like this.

Especially Brother Gou and the others. It was as if the glow enveloping a god had receded and they were now looking at a perfectly ordinary man.

"I finally realize that a true man isn't invincible He's but a mere mortal" sighed Brother Gou. "He weeps and laughs and feels pain. He bleeds and cries. That's what a true ma@ought to be!"

"Hah! What do you know anyway?" Su Yun threw a glance at him before rolling her eyes. "Don't talk like you know what a true man is."

"Alright, I don't know a thing. Are you

going to teach me then?" Brother Gou threw a look at Su Yun before saying pointedly. "I'll call you my master if you agree to teach me." en.swhovels.net

"You'll need to pay for a lesson. Have you?"

"Where do I pay?"

The two of them exchanged a look.

"Hold on, you're still a student," laughed Brother Gou as a gentleness colored his eyes. The sight of it made Su Yun flush. She threw him a look of scorn. "Look who's talking! Are you trying to hit on me?" she huffed and then mumbled to herself. "I'm too good for you!"

"You really think so?" Brother Gou

widened his eyes and stared at Su Yun. "I've already thought of a

ame

for our kid. How could you say that you're too good for me?"

His utter shameless drew Su Yun mad.

She stomped her foot and decided to ignore the man entirely even as her cheeks remained pink and coyness flickered in her eyes.

She raced to the door, then stopped. She turned and gave Brother Gou a look.

"What name did you come up with? I hope it's not something stupid and awful likeContent provided by .

Tom or Dick or...Gou!"

She fled like the wind after that.

Brother Gou froze momentarily before straightening his back and puffing his chest out. There was a look of smugness on his face. "What's wrong with the name Gou? You like it just fine."

Meanwhile, in the ward.

Lin Yuzhen's hands were clasped around the rails of her bed like vices. Her forehead was beaded with cold sweat.

She was shaking violently with pain. But she clenched her jaw tight and tried to keep herself from screaming.
