Chapter 194 Twins (Finale)

The initial contractions lasted a long time. After the pain subsided, Shen Zhaoyue recovered her breath. Seeing Wen Yanxi's distressed expression, she forced a smile and said, "It's okay. This is how childbirth is. Help me get the kettle out of the delivery bag."

Wen Yanxi hurriedly took out a military water bottle, unscrewed the lid and handed it to her mouth.

Chen Zhaoyue took small sips of the water, and no one knew that the water was mixed with the spiritual spring water she had secretly prepared.

Ever since she became pregnant, she has replaced all the water in her home with spiritual spring water, but it is diluted spiritual spring water.

The spiritual spring water is good for health and is good for both her and the baby in her belly.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to carry twins so easily. She wouldn't have gotten tired as easily as other pregnant women, and her reactions in the early stages of pregnancy would have been milder.

For this delivery, Chen Zhaoyue specially prepared a pot of spiritual spring water to replenish her physical strength when necessary, hoping that it would help her get through this difficult time.

Gao Wen arrived soon. She seemed to have been sleeping in the lounge. Her hair was a little messy, and one of the buttons on her white coat was buttoned incorrectly. Her slightly haggard face had a serious expression but gentle eyes.

Gao Wen gave Shen Zhaoyue a detailed examination and nodded, "Everything is fine, the fetuses are in the correct position. Because it's twins, we'll be paying special attention to postpartum bleeding. Rest first and conserve your energy, because the real tough battle is yet to come."

As time passed, the contractions became more frequent and the pain more intense.

Chen Zhaoyue gritted his teeth and endured it, only letting out a few suppressed moans when he really couldn't bear it anymore.

Wen Yanxi stood by her side, constantly wiping her sweat with a wet towel and holding her hand to give silent support.

Wen Qimin and Wen Qing also came. The two of them stayed in the ward, watching Chen Zhaoyue's face turn pale and she kept groaning due to the pain. Although they were nervous, they didn't dare to say anything or pace around in the ward. They just suppressed their anxiety for fear of putting more pressure on Chen Zhaoyue.

Not to mention that Wen Yanxi didn't want Chen Zhaoyue to have a second child, even Wen Qimin didn't want her to have another child after seeing Chen Zhaoyue like this.

It is said that when a woman gives birth, it is like a trip to the gates of hell.

What virtue and ability did the Wen family have to make Chen Zhaoyue risk his life to give birth to a child for their Wen family?

At around three in the morning, Shen Zhaoyue finally reached ten-digit dilation. The nurses came in and prepared to push her into the delivery room.

"Yanxi," before entering the delivery room, Chen Zhaoyue suddenly grabbed his hand, with a hint of barely perceptible fear in her eyes, "What if..."

"There's no such thing as an emergency!" Wen Yanxi interrupted her, leaning over and placing a firm kiss on her forehead. "You and the child will be safe. I'll be waiting outside."

The door of the delivery room closed in front of Wen Yanxi, separating him from everything that was happening inside.

He stood at the door in a daze, as if he was nailed there.

The clock in the corridor ticked, its tone particularly clear in the stillness of the early morning. Wen Yanxi stood straight, motionless as if in military posture, his clenched fists the only thing betraying his inner anxiety.

Two hours passed, and the sky began to turn white. Wen Qimin was old and couldn't stand it for so long. Wen Qing said he would give him news as soon as Shen Zhaoyue gave birth, and then sent him home to rest.

When Wen Qing came back, he saw Wen Yanxi standing at the door of the delivery room like a statue.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Wen Qing walked forward and asked.

Wen Yanxi seemed not to hear, his eyes fixed on the door of the delivery room.

Wen Qing patted Wen Yanxi's shoulder, and he came back to his senses.

"It's been two hours since I went in, and there's been no movement at all." Wen Yanxi's voice was hoarse.

"That's normal. Giving birth doesn't happen that quickly." Wen Qing was also nervous, but he remained calm. "Especially for the first child, and twins at that."

Wen Qing handed over the breakfast he brought: "Eat something, you have to keep your strength. Auntie and the children will have to rely on you to take care of them after they come out."

Wen Yanxi shook his head. He couldn't eat anything now.

He couldn't eat anything because he couldn't see Chen Zhaoyue and wasn't sure if mother and child were safe.

Time passed extremely slowly, and every minute seemed to be stretched out.

Occasionally, Shen Zhaoyue's suppressed cries of pain could be heard from the delivery room, and each one made Wen Yanxi's heart tighten. He wanted to rush in, but he was powerless. This feeling of helplessness was more tormenting than any danger on the battlefield.

Another four hours passed, and the sun had risen completely, with golden sunlight pouring in through the corridor windows.

Wen Yanxi stood at the door of the delivery room without moving an inch until her legs became numb.

Suddenly, a loud baby cry was heard in the delivery room!

Wen Yanxi was shocked and almost threw himself against the door.

Is it a baby coming out?

Why is there only one cry?

How is Chen Zhaoyue?

Countless questions flashed through his mind in an instant, and his palms were sweaty from nervousness.

Wen Yanxi tried to see what was happening in the delivery room through the crack in the door, but there was another door inside and he couldn't see anything.

About an hour later, the door of the delivery room finally opened.

Gao Wen came out, her mask pulled down to her chin, a tired but relieved smile on her face: "Congratulations, it's twins, a boy and a girl. The brother came out first. Both mother and child are safe."

Wen Yanxi's heart finally settled down, his legs went weak and he almost fell down.

Wen Qing supported him in time, "Uncle, Auntie is giving birth! You're going to be a father!"

The nurse came out holding two swaddling clothes, and Wen Qing immediately went up to see the children.

Wen Qing took out a handful of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into the nurse's pocket. "Thank you so much, you've worked so hard! Have two pieces of candy to sweeten your mouth!"

The nurses congratulated Wen Yanxi and Wen Qing one after another.

Wen Yanxi walked around them and rushed straight towards Chen Zhaoyue who had just been pushed out.

Chen Zhaoyue lay on the stretcher, her face as pale as paper, her hair soaked with sweat and stuck to her forehead, her whole body looking like she had been fished out of the water. Seeing Wen Yanxi, she smiled weakly, but there was a glint in her eyes.

"Yanxi, did you see that? The children are fine..." Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Wen Yanxi held her hand, put it against his face, and felt the warmth of her palm. Only then did he truly realize that everything was over and the most important person in his life was safe and sound.

"Thank you for your hard work, Zhaoyue." He choked with sobs, a thousand words stuck in his throat, and finally turned into these four words. He leaned over and gently kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and his own eyes also became moist.

The sunlight shone through the window onto Shen Zhaoyue's tired yet happy face. She shook her head slightly and cast her eyes on the two babies in the nurse's arms: "It's worth it, everything is worth it."

Wen Yanxi followed her gaze and for the first time truly saw their children - two babies with rosy cheeks, one was slightly older and sleeping quietly; the other was smaller and was smacking her lips, looking extremely adorable.

At this moment, Wen Yanxi felt that his heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of responsibility and happiness intertwined.

He held Shen Zhaoyue's hand tightly, as if he was holding the whole world.

At the end of the corridor, the sun is rising and a new day has just begun.
