"I will start from here, then we will go outside, maybe later in the evening, I don't want to hug my baby with toasted skin." Chen Lihua joked.

"Alright." Liu Huiling said as she chuckled softly before guiding her."

​​

After about twenty minutes, Chen Lihua decides to take a rest in the living room.

Now, Liu Dongmei had joined them already.

"My stomach is not going down soon, I thought the contractions would help." Chen Lihua muttered in a low tone as she caressed her abdomen.

"Your contractions are too far apart, so it can't go down so soon. Your baby repositioned, but he hasn't started moving downwards I think." Liu Huiling said.

"Sister-in-law, did you go for your antenatal classes?." Liu Dongmei questioned.

"Yeah, but they don't tell everything." Chen Lihua replied, knowing her reason for asking.

"Have you called Brother to inform him you would be having the baby soon?. Liu Dongmei inquired as that thought crossed her mind.

"Oh no! I forgot about it. I will make the call now." Chen Lihua said as she picked up her phone.

At the second ring, Liu Longwei answered the call.

"Sweetheart?." He called out in a low tone, as his face turned up in a smile.

"Darling, how are you?." Chen Lihua asked with a happy smile on her face.

"I'm good. What about you and the baby, how are you doing?." Liu Longwei asked as he relaxed comfortably on the seat.

"We are doing great. Our baby is on his way, he doesn't want to wait till his due date." Chen Lihua revealed.

"What?! You are having the baby earlier than expected?." Liu Longwei asked in surprise.

"Yes. The contractions have increased in pace. Longwei, I can't wait to hold our baby in my arms." Chen Lihua said shyly.

"Don't worry, soon. I'm on my way back home, wait for my return." Liu Longwei announced.

"Are you on the jet already?." Chen Lihua asked with a look of amazement on her face.

"Yes. I should be home around evening." Liu Longwei replied with a slight chuckle.

He could tell his wife missed him and was happy he was on his way home.

"Wow! That's great! We will all be waiting for you, have a safe trip back home " Chen Lihua said to him excitedly.

"See you soon, I love you." Liu Longwei said to her.

"I love you..." Chen Lihua declared before terminating the call.

"Is Brother on his way home?." Liu Huiling asked as Liu Dongmei looked on in surprise.

"Yes. He would be home in the evening." Chen Lihua replied.

"Aiyah! See how happy you are. Now that Brother would arrive in the evening, I think he would be able to help you induce the labor if you want the child to come out quickly." Liu Dongmei said.

"Yes, I would lady accept his help." Chen Lihua said with her eyes shut with a finger massaging her temples.

"Do you have a headache?." Liu Huiling asked worriedly.

"Yeah. After walking around for a bit, I felt out of breath as the headache started little by little." Chen Lihua revealed.

"Come, I will massage your temples for you." Liu Huiling said as she went behind her and placed a few of her fingers on her temples and began to massage it.

"I think you are worked up, rest for a bit before you do any other thing." Liu Dongmei advised from the side.

Just then, Madam Liu came to meet them inside the living room. She saw Chen Lihua's eyes shut as her temples were being massaged by Liu Huiling.

Thinking she was asleep, Madam Liu whispered in a soft tone, "Does she have a headache?."

"Mmmm." Liu Dongmei hummed in reply while Liu Huiling nodded.

"Okay." Madam Liu replied softly as she checked the tome from her wristwatch.

"Notify me if the headaches don't stop, if it increases after fifteen minutes I will have to contact her doctor." Madam Liu instructed before leaving.

"Lihua, are you okay?." Liu Dongmei asked.

"Mmmm." Chen Lihua hummed in reply with her eyes still shut.

"Sister Mei, can you turn on the Tv, I want to watch something to distract my mind, I'm getting disturbed, I'm having this uneasy feeling." Chen Lihua said as she opened her eyes.

"There is no need to worry, okay? Everything will be fine." Liu Huiling said to her as she continued to massage her temples.

"Do you want me to lose the updo, maybe the headaches will be less." Liu Huiling suggested.

"No, I will be more uncomfortable with the long hair flowing behind me. The updo hairstyle doesn't hurt, and the headaches are not coming from that part." Chen Lihua replied and heaved a sigh thereafter.

Liu Huiling continued pressing on her temples as she said, "Okay. Tell me if the headaches get worse, or if you have any other discomfort."

When the Tv came on, Chen Lihua got Liu Huiling to stop with the massage even though she was still experiencing some headaches.

She now had her eyes glued to the Tv as she watched a Tv series.

Thirty minutes into the movie, Chen Lihua couldn't still anymore. She just stood to her feet and took little steps 🚶 away from the sofa.

"Where are you going to?." Liu Dongmei asked.

"I feel like throwing up." Chen Lihua replied as she continued walking away without turning back.

"You feel like throwing up?." Liu Huiling asked as she glanced at Liu Dongmei.

"Mmmm." Chen Lihua replied, then she suddenly stopped in her steps as she placed a few fingers on her throbbing head.

Liu Huiling noticed something was wrong and immediately hurried towards her, and she was in time to catch her.

"Lihua?!." Liu Huiling cried out in alarm. This was no longer funny.

"It's nothing, serious Sister Ling, I just felt slightly dizzy." Chen Lihua said as she held unto her arm for support.

At this point, Liu Dongmei came over to assist her. "Lihua, I think you are so tensed about your baby coming, you are nervous and that shouldn't be. Just relax and take your mind off it, everything will be fine."

Chen Lihua threw up everything she ate when she entered the visitor's washroom. Liu Huiling and Liu Dongmei helped her to tidy up before taking her back to the living room.

There, they met Lady Chen and Madam Liu who were currently watching the Tv.
