Chapter Thirty-Two: Born

  Under Li's trust, Shen Han could only focus more on feeling the movements in Wu Er's belly, and gradually felt that the baby in her belly was a bit restless, seemingly similar to the situation with Yuan's family daughter-in-law's belly that day, but from the feeling transmitted from his palms, it wasn't so urgent yet.

  "Mother..."

  "What's wrong?"

  Although Li trusted Shen Huan, she couldn't help but worry. After all, she had been a midwife for many years and had seen various situations, including cases like Wu's wife who took a very long time to give birth, which usually didn't end well. Now, when her daughter-in-law suddenly said that the baby wasn't due yet, Li couldn't help but believe her despite feeling skeptical.

  Shen Han turned around to look at the woman in labor, who had regained some strength. Her eyes were filled with concern. Even though she had this special ability, she didn't have any experience. Who knew if it would be like last time, when she fainted before even seeing the end? This special ability was unpredictable, and what made her even more uncertain was that when she touched Wu Er's wife's belly again later, would she feel anything at all, or would it be like touching Mao Mao's belly that day, with no sensation whatsoever?

  So Shen Huan didn't dare to withdraw her hand now, and as time passed, she felt the power in her body being slowly drained away. This made her even more certain that if this ability couldn't be used skillfully, it would consume all her spiritual energy and physical strength. Thinking of this, Shen Huan's cold sweat broke out on her back. The feeling of last time before she fainted, she didn't want to experience again. Although it was a direct loss of consciousness, but in the moment before losing consciousness, there was a feeling of having a hole dug in her heart, and her whole person felt empty.

  It's so painful, so painful that even fainting is a relief. Shen Huan also has a deep impression of this!

  "It's okay, I just wanted to tell you, nothing will happen, don't worry so much."

  When Shen Huan said this, it didn't have much effect, but at that moment, the baby in Wu Er's belly seemed to respond to her call and started reacting. Shen Huan had never been pregnant or given birth before, so she wasn't sure if this was a normal reaction for all expectant mothers just before giving birth. She thought it was unlikely that anyone else could feel everything about the little baby through their big belly like she did.

  "Mother! Please guide your sister-in-law's breathing, she should be about to give birth."

  Without time to consider Li's puzzled face, Shen Huan could only steel herself and go on. After all, she had initially taken the risk of undertaking this task, and now relying on the sensations in her hands to determine whether the pregnant woman would give birth soon was already a very difficult thing for her. However, this matter of her special ability couldn't be told to anyone, not even Xue Yue who now knew about her tactile perception, but she still didn't dare to say more, it was hard to guarantee that these ancient people wouldn't think of herself as a monster!

  Otherwise, how can you explain the penetration ability of your hand? This is not a world of cultivating immortals, it's just an ordinary world like all dynasties in history, only that it can't be found in historical records.

  "Are you sure?"

  These three words came out of Li's mouth, which really made Shen Han shudder all over. She couldn't be sure, she was just taking a gamble with a hard head, and if she was lucky, it would be like the last time at the Yuan family. If not, Wu Erniang might still be unable to give birth for the time being. However, the perception of heteropathy is not deceiving people. Even if she couldn't confirm whether the child was about to be born now, at least she could confirm that it wasn't what they called a difficult delivery. The child was normal in every way, and judging from the frequency she felt, uterine contractions shouldn't have been a problem either.

  "Confirmed!"

  Having come this far, Shen Huan had no choice but to move forward. Who would have thought that she possessed such an ability and discovered it by chance? Since fate had arranged things this way, she could only grit her teeth and face it head-on! Moreover, Shen Huan was also clear in her mind that this time wasn't as dangerous as the last time at the Yuan's house. Not to mention excluding a certain irresponsible statement, even if they really could only save one person in the end, Wu Er wouldn't pursue any responsibility, at least for now, both the child and the adult were still safe and sound here.

  The feeling in her palm was stronger and clearer than the last time at Yuan's house! It can't be described, it's a kind of perception that merges with the soul, and she can even paint a picture of the baby in the womb in her mind, and even feel the small hands and feet through her belly. If the first time was luck or an illusion, then this time, even if it's just a coincidence, Shen Huan wants to take a gamble on whether this ability is really only useful for giving birth.

  "Sister-in-law, this time the baby is really coming out. You must follow my mother's instructions to breathe and push, do you understand?"

  "Hmm... you..."

  "What's wrong?"

  Shen Han had already withdrawn her hands from her belly while speaking, and also removed the towel from her forehead and replaced it. However, Wu Er's wife grabbed her hand as soon as she opened her mouth, making Shen Han feel a little surprised and inexplicably tense.

  "Nothing... nothing, my stomach hurts so much, you... help me rub it a bit and I'll feel better..."

  Giving birth is a natural process, and although Shen Huan found Wu Er's request somewhat strange, she didn't say anything else. She placed both hands on her belly and gently stroked it. At this moment, she hadn't intentionally tried to use her special ability to sense anything, yet she still had a feeling. This made Shen Huan feel a little surprised - could it be that her special ability was like a habit, something that would naturally emerge with frequent contact?

  No time to think too much, because Wu Er's wife suddenly closed her eyes and let out a loud cry, scaring Shen Han so much that she didn't dare to be distracted again. She immediately focused on sensing the baby's movements. This time, she actually felt relieved, because at this moment, not only could she feel the baby wanting to break free, but also clearly feel the contractions of the woman in labor. Wasn't it about to be born?

  While happy, Shen Huan couldn't care less whether the ability could digest or not. To avoid another unexpected situation, she had to focus all her attention on constantly moving her hands, ensuring that her judgment wouldn't go wrong. Her body's energy was gradually being absorbed, and she was getting more and more exhausted. Just before she lost consciousness, she heard her mother-in-law's excited shouting: It's born!

  Outside the door, Wu Er and his parents were anxious to the point of distraction. Every time Wu Er heard his wife's life-threatening screams from inside the room, he wished he could rush in. Just when he couldn't bear it anymore and was about to break in, he heard a voice coming from inside the house, followed by Li's words "It's born! It's born!" and then the first cry of his newborn baby, which would be the most meaningful sound in his life!

  The second time the anomaly occurred, Shen Han still couldn't withstand the physical exhaustion and fainted. On the other hand, Mu Siyao was listening to Qian Shui's report with great interest, and every time he heard a process, he couldn't help but curl up his lips. By the time Qian Shui finished speaking, he looked extremely relaxed, and his lips were curled up in an unrecognizable way. This was also the first time Qian Shui saw her young master show such a shocking expression, and she couldn't help but wipe away sweat in her heart: Could it be that Master has been stunned by the experience of being called Shen Han's woman?

  "Let's go!"

  "Where are you going?"

  Before he could tell whether the young master was foolish or stunned, he heard Mu Siyao put down her teacup and stood up, walking towards the stairs of the attic. She didn't forget to turn back and smile at Qian Shui: "Go take a look at the Zhao's house!"
