Two years later, at a hospital's maternity ward, Gu Fan anxiously waited at the doorway, pacing back and forth, as worried as one could get, as tense as one could be.
Gu Ling came to comfort him: "Brother, don't worry. With how advanced medical science is today, giving birth isn't so dangerous anymore, mother and child will definitely be safe."
"I know, but I just can't help worrying!" Gu Fan's heart raced with anxiety, this was a crucial moment in his life.
Gu Fan's parents were also there, telling him they had gone through this as well, twice even, so he shouldn't worry so much.
"Thank you, mom and dad, for giving birth to me, and then to Xiaoling. I really appreciate it, and I will repay you," Gu Fan didn't know what else to say and ended up speaking without much thought.
Several hours had passed, and Gu Fan could hear his wife's cries from outside, unable to imagine the pain she was enduring.
