At the hospital, Gu Shaoting immediately carried Shu Pan into the emergency room. He waited outside for ten minutes until the doctor on duty came out and said, "Sir, your wife is about to give birth. Please prepare the necessary items for delivery."
Gu Shaoting was momentarily stunned, finding it a bit hard to react. Though they had been anticipating this moment every day, the reality of it happening now felt somewhat unbelievable. He spaced out for a moment, only coming back to himself when the doctor repeated the instructions. He nodded, "Alright, everything is prepared. Thank you, Doctor."
"Okay, she's experiencing some contractions now and is dilated to one centimeter. It might not be too soon yet. We'll move her to the delivery room now," the doctor explained.
Shu Pan was quickly wheeled out, her brows furrowed in pain. She stared at Gu Shaoting, clearly a bit frightened. "Honey, it's happening, but I'm not mentally prepared."
