Chapter 210 Premature Birth?!

But this kindness appears so fragile and vulnerable in the face of the enormous temptation that could change the fate of the whole family.

Xiaolan doesn't know how she got back to the courtyard.

In her mind, on one hand, there was the gentleness and kindness that Su Yue and the Gu family showed her, and on the other hand, there was her mother's pale face and her younger brother's dark hands.

Two thoughts, like two venomous snakes, were tearing at her heart, causing her unbearable pain.

Time flies, and it's New Year's Eve already.

This was the most lively New Year that Su Yue had experienced since arriving in this era.

In the military family compound, every household hung red lanterns and pasted up New Year couplets, and the air was filled with the aroma of food and the laughter of children.

The Gu family courtyard was filled with joy.

Gu Beichen personally wrote and pasted the Spring Festival couplets, while Huo Shouzhen and Gu Zhengfeng, two old men whose combined age was over a hundred, were enthusiastically studying how to hang lanterns.

Zhang Huilan and Xiaolan were busy in the kitchen, preparing a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

With her huge belly, Su Yue was ordered to sit on a rattan chair in the yard and was not allowed to do anything except eat the snacks that Gu Beichen fed her.

The family was enjoying a happy and harmonious time together, as warm and cozy as a painting.

At dinner time, the family sat together, the Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard sporadically outside.

Su Yue ate a few bites and then felt a little tired.

During her late pregnancy with twins, she often felt tired.

"I'm going back to my room to lie down for a while. You guys can eat slowly."

"I'll help you." Gu Beichen immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up.

"No need, it's just a short walk." Su Yue smiled and pushed him away. "You should eat quickly, it's rare for Dad and the others to be here."

She supported her lower back, slowly stood up, and walked towards her room.

Xiao Lan, who was washing vegetables in the kitchen, heard the commotion outside.

Her hand paused, and her heart skipped a beat.

Right now.

A demonic voice screamed wildly in her mind.

If you miss today, you'll never have another chance!

Your mother's illness, your brother's future, the hope of the whole family!

Xiaolan's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and quietly picked up a half-used bottle of cooking oil from the stove.

She walked out of the kitchen, pretending to go to the yard to pour water.

As she passed through the corridor that Su Yue always took to get back to her room, she quickly glanced left and right.

Everyone's attention was focused on the New Year's Eve dinner in the living room and on the television; no one noticed her.

She unscrewed the cap of the oil bottle, tilted the bottle, and poured a little of the golden vegetable oil onto the smooth terrazzo floor.

It was a small, inconspicuous oil stain, almost undetectable under the dim corridor lights.

After doing all that, she felt completely drained. She ran back to the kitchen, hid herself in a corner, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

Su Yue leaned against the wall and slowly walked down the corridor, step by step.

Just as she walked up to the oil stain.

Suddenly, my foot slipped!

"ah!"

The body instantly lost its balance, and the whole person uncontrollably fell backward!

"Yueyue!"

A dark figure burst out of the living room like a cheetah!

It's Gu Beichen!

He reacted almost the instant Su Yue lost her balance, took a step forward, stretched out his long arm, and caught her steadily in his arms before she fell to the ground!

Still shaken, Su Yue leaned against her husband's strong chest, her heart still pounding wildly.

However, before she could even breathe a sigh of relief...

An indescribable, excruciating pain suddenly erupted from deep within her lower abdomen, quickly engulfing her entire body!

That huge impact and shock still affected the baby!

Su Yue's body froze instantly, and her small face drained of all color in an instant, turning as pale as paper.

Large beads of cold sweat rolled down her forehead.

"What's wrong?!" Gu Beichen immediately noticed that something was wrong with her, hugged her even tighter, and his voice was filled with unprecedented panic.

Su Yue was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She gripped Gu Beichen's shirt tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

She opened her mouth, and with all her might, managed to squeeze out a few words from her throat.

"I'm...I'm going into labor!"

Su Yue curled up in pain, her nails digging deep into the fabric of Gu Beichen's military uniform, as if trying to embed themselves into his flesh.

The excruciating pain came in waves, one after another, threatening to completely engulf her.

She opened her mouth, her throat filled with the metallic taste of blood, and with the last ounce of clarity, she managed to squeeze out a few words through her teeth.

"She's...giving birth!"

These three words struck Gu Beichen like a thunderbolt, making him freeze in place.

For the first time, a crack appeared on his usually calm and composed face—a pure and undisguised panic.

"Yueyue!"

The people in the living room were also startled by the scream and the sudden change, and an uproar instantly broke out.

"What's going on?!"

"Oh my god!"

The two old men, Huo Shouzhen and Gu Zhengfeng, were the first to rush out, followed closely by Zhang Huilan. When she saw Su Yue, who was being held in Gu Beichen's arms and whose face was pale, her legs went weak on the spot.

"Quick! Get him to the hospital!" Gu Zhengfeng shouted, turning around to call a car.

"What are you calling for! Take my car! Hurry up!" Huo Shouzheng retorted energetically, already rushing towards the gate to get his car.

The entire courtyard instantly descended into chaos.

Amidst the chaos and torment of excruciating pain, a life-saving thought flashed through Su Yue's mind.

Spiritual Spring Water!

Her space also contains spiritual spring water!

“Beichen…” she gasped for breath, grabbing Gu Beichen’s arm, “Don’t… don’t panic… listen to me…”

"I'm here! Yueyue, what are you saying!" Gu Beichen leaned down, his ear pressed tightly against her lips, afraid of missing a single word.

“The room…the bedside table…the maternity bag…” Su Yue’s voice was broken, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth, “And…the red thermos…give it to me…I’m thirsty…”

"Okay! I'll go get it right away!"

Although he didn't understand why he needed to drink water at a time like this, Gu Beichen didn't hesitate at all. He carefully handed Su Yue to Zhang Huilan, who rushed over, and then turned and dashed into the room like the wind.

Zhang Huilan held her daughter-in-law, tears welling up in her eyes: "Yueyue, just bear with it a little longer, the car will be here soon!"

Su Yue was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She could only hold her mother-in-law's arm tightly and bury her face in her shoulder. Large beads of sweat quickly soaked Zhang Huilan's clothes.

Xiaolan, hiding in the shadows by the kitchen door, saw everything clearly.

Looking at Su Yue's pained expression and the Gu family's anxious and flustered state, her face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled like a leaf in the wind.

Fear and regret, like two giant hands, gripped her throat tightly, rendering her unable to utter a sound.
