Auntie Bao found it inconceivable.
Unheard of.
"Auntie Bao, just focus on the delivery. I'll be here, so don't worry about me," Gu Ya said without turning his head, his tone brooking no argument. He had agreed to stay with his young wife.
And Gu Ya would stay right by his young wife's side.
Auntie Bao still hesitated.
"But... my lord, the birthing room is a place of blood and filth. What if you attract unclean spirits by staying here?" Auntie Bao was well-intentioned. She had never seen a man stay with a woman while she was giving birth.
Su Yunjin was in severe pain, and the hand she gripped of Gu Ya's, her nails were digging forcefully into his flesh.
Gu Ya grunted, but did not pull his hand away. He let his young wife grasp it still, while Auntie Bao stood aside, waiting for Gu Ya to leave. Soon, Auntie Liang hurried in with a basin of hot water from outside.
