Chapter 1295: Chapter 748: A Small Accident for the Huo Family (3 Updates)

But the child hasn’t been born safely yet, and the worry persists.

Jiang Chengsi just moved with everyone to a different place, squatting outside the delivery room, played chess for a while, but lost interest.

The atmosphere is too oppressive.

Outside the delivery room, there are only a few of them; the hospital is empty, even the sound of footsteps is remarkably clear. Everyone sits and stands intermittently, occasionally hearing Tang Wan comforting the Shen family’s elders, but nothing can be heard from inside the delivery room.

Once you enter the delivery room door, there are many doors separating the inside. No matter how screaming might be going on inside, it’s inaudible from outside, and everyone is unclear about the situation, becoming more anxious as time passes.

Around midnight, Huo Qinqi caught a flight midway, made a call back, and Liang Yun answered it.

"...Yes, she’s inside...Nothing will happen, I’m outside with your dad, and...everyone’s waiting, don’t worry."

"Don’t be too anxious, eat a little something, and make sure to stay safe."

"It’s fine, the doctors have said there won’t be any problems...rest assured, Shuci’s parents are being cared for too, and they’re okay, Wanwan and Xiaowu are both here."

...

The surroundings are too quiet, even though Liang Yun is distant from them taking the call, the conversation still intermittently reaches them.

Liang Yun has been worried enough for the day, Huo Zheng usually speaks little, and with his daughter-in-law giving birth, he doesn’t feel comfortable being close, mostly staying in a corner, lending a hand only when needed, otherwise remaining silent.

When Liang Yun was giving birth, he wasn’t there to accompany her, probably also not feeling this tension and oppression.

Unexpectedly, this time he’s experiencing it all.

Shen Shuci is in the delivery room, feeling even more uncomfortable.

Before the birth, Tang Wan told her a lot, like saving her strength, the midwives, and doctors are also beside her guiding when to exert force.

Shen Shuci never imagined giving birth would be this painful.

She is quite enduring, biting her teeth hard, as the pain comes, her whole body goes numb from it, sweat slips into her eyes, stinging them painfully, causing everything before her to become blurry.

The nurse beside her hurriedly wiped her sweat, continuously encouraging her to keep going.

When she was admitted to the hospital today, there was always talk about Shen Shuci’s prenatal check-ups all being done at this hospital, so she is somewhat familiar, yet no one has seen her husband.

At the point of giving birth, Huo Qinqi still hasn’t shown up, making many people inevitably sigh.

Everyone says she married well, marrying into the Huo Family is climbing high, but thinking again, this life is more difficult than ordinary people’s.

"She does everything herself, although her in-laws treat her well, it’s never quite like a husband. It’s said that even during the New Year, Mr. Huo didn’t come back, how does one live through such times."

"Fortunately, she has a good mindset, sees things openly, otherwise she might have fallen into depression during pregnancy."

"It really isn’t easy."

...

The nurse kept wiping her sweat, constantly encouraging her to exert force, but where does Shen Shuci have such strength, once her energy is used up, her whole body seems just exhausted. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The doctor, seeing her thin build, has always worried she might run out of energy mid-birth, so early on discussed with the Huo Family that if complications arise with natural birth, they’d directly opt for a cesarean section.

Yet at this moment, she appears to be more resilient than expected.

Even so, giving birth is never a straightforward matter.

Huo Qinqi’s flight was due to arrive at the airport at half past three in the morning.

When he reached the exit, there was no sight of the Huo Family’s car, but someone nearby was signaling him with flashes, he tilted his head to look, as a heavy motorcycle stopped in front of him with a low engine roar.

Jiang Chengsi handed him a helmet, "Get on, I’ll take you via motorbike through the suburbs, it’s faster than by car."

Feeling too stifled in the hospital, upon hearing the Huo Family needed someone to pick up Huo Qinqi, he eagerly volunteered.

Without a word, Huo Qinqi took the helmet, mounted the motorcycle, as the engine’s low roar pierced the silent night.

"How is she now?" Having gotten off the plane, Huo Qinqi also called his mother.

Liang Yun kept reassuring him everything is going smoothly, no issues, but it’s been over five hours since she entered the delivery room, the child still not born, how could he not be anxious.

"She’s still giving birth, it will be okay, don’t worry." Jiang Chengsi accelerated the bike, "The doctor said some people can be in labor for a day and a night, Aunt’s situation is not particularly unique, so don’t worry too much."

"Have you eaten?"

"I see you’re quite travel-worn, not even having changed clothes. When we get to the hospital, should you wash your face first, get changed?"

...

Jiang Chengsi is trying to comfort him.
