In just a second, he came to his senses, his eyes filled with panic and tension. He turned around and rushed towards the door, muttering repeatedly, "Don't be afraid, I... I'll go get the doctor right away."

In his panic, he completely forgot to turn on the light, and in the darkness, he stumbled around like a headless fly.

With a loud bang, his knee slammed into the table leg, and a sharp pain shot through him instantly. But Xie Yan seemed oblivious to the pain. He gritted his teeth, flung open the door, and screamed at the top of his lungs, "Doctor! Doctor! My wife is going into labor!" His shouts echoed through the quiet corridor, shattering the stillness of the night.

In the quiet of the night, the doctor was awakened from her sleep by Xie Yan's urgent calls. Her heart tightened, and without thinking, she quickly called to the nurse beside her, and the group hurried towards Xie Yan's ward.

Soon, Yu Yuehui, lying on a trolley, was quickly wheeled into the delivery room.

The delivery room door slammed shut, shutting Xie Yan out.

He stood outside the door, feeling as if his backbone had been removed, completely at a loss.

The medical staff around him were busy, each working methodically to welcome the arrival of a new life, but he could only stand there blankly, unable to do anything.

This feeling of powerlessness made him increasingly anxious, as if countless ants were crawling all over his mind.

A million thoughts were swirling in my mind, making Xie Yan feel like he was about to explode.

He crouched on the ground, holding his head and panting, trying to suppress the chaotic and terrifying thoughts in his mind, but unfortunately, it was to no avail.

The area outside the delivery room was eerily quiet, with only the occasional faint sound of medical equipment colliding.

The silence was like a heavy boulder, making it hard for Xie Yan to breathe and leaving him even more at a loss.

He paced back and forth in the narrow corridor, his steps hurried and disordered, as various terrifying scenes involuntarily surfaced in his mind: Yu Yuehui's pained face, the massive bleeding during childbirth... These images haunted him like nightmares, refusing to leave.

Xie Yan shook his head violently, trying to banish those terrible thoughts from his mind. He closed his eyes tightly, muttering to himself repeatedly, "It'll be alright, it'll be alright..."

He kept comforting himself, thinking, "Isn't it often said that good people are rewarded?"

Yu Yuehui is so kind, even a little naive, and she is always easily trusting others. Heaven will surely bless her, it definitely will!

Even though she tried to comfort herself like this, Xie Yan's fear remained ever-present.

He paced back and forth in the corridor, muttering to himself, completely absorbed in his own thoughts.

If it weren't for the unusual circumstances of being outside the delivery room, anyone else would probably think he had mental problems.

Finally, just as Xie Yan was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, the tightly closed door outside the delivery room creaked open slowly.

Xie Yan felt as if he had heard the most beautiful sound in the world. He rushed over in a few strides, his eyes filled with anxiety and worry, and asked almost in a sob, "Doctor, how is my wife?"

The doctor rarely saw a husband who cared so much about his wife in labor. She subconsciously glanced at him again, and seeing the anxious man in front of her, she smiled knowingly.

Outside the delivery room, she had seen too many family members whose first concern was for the baby, but this man was preoccupied with his wife, which made her very happy.

Her voice softened unconsciously as she said softly, "Don't worry, mother and daughter are safe."

"Please wait a moment, then you can go in to visit the patient."

Upon hearing the words "mother and daughter are safe," Xie Yan's tense nerves instantly relaxed.

He felt his legs go weak, as if he had lost the strength to support his body, and he slowly slumped down to the ground against the wall.

He breathed a deep sigh of relief, a huge weight lifted from his shoulders. "Thank goodness, thank goodness, mother and daughter are safe and sound, everything is alright..."

When the doctor told Xie Yan that she could come in to visit, she seemed to regain her energy, immediately got up from the ground, and rushed into the delivery room.

When he saw his wife on the hospital bed smiling weakly at him, Xie Yan's eyes instantly welled up with tears. He tried hard to control himself and not let the tears fall.

At that moment, all worries and fears vanished in that smile, leaving only joy and relief.

Yu Yuehui's hair was soaked with sweat, and her face was pale. She looked at Xie Yan like this and smiled at him in a comforting way.

Seeing that smile, Xie Yan couldn't resist any longer and ran over to hug her, saying, "Wife, you've worked so hard!"

"Thanks a lot."

Seeing Xie Yan's still shaken appearance, Yu Yue knew he must have been terrified. So she gently patted his shoulder and said softly, "It's okay. Our baby was so considerate of me. It only hurt for a little while, and then it was born smoothly!"

"The doctor said I'll be back soon."

Xie Yan gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear with tenderness, looked at Yu Yuehui with deep eyes, and said softly, "Yu Xiaoyue, you've suffered!"

A warm feeling welled up in Yu Yuehui's heart. Looking at Xie Yan's tired face, she touched his face with heartache and said, "You've worked hard too. You haven't been able to get a good night's sleep these past few days."

As she spoke, she gently stroked the dark circles under Xie Yan's eyes with her fingertips.

Xie Yan smiled and took Yu Yuehui's hand, "We've all had our struggles."

"When the baby grows up, he/she must take good care of us."

"Otherwise, I'll spank her."

Yu Yuehui couldn't help but laugh, a hint of mischief in her eyes, "So how do you plan to get her to be filial?"

Xie Yan looked at her and said seriously, "Tasks like serving tea and water, doing laundry and cooking should all be done by her!"

Yu Yuehui couldn't help but chuckle, then feigned reproach, saying, "Didn't you always say you didn't discriminate against girls?"

Xie Yan gently pinched her cheek and said affectionately, "Yu Xiaoyue, what are you thinking? Do you think I only said that because the baby is a girl?"

Yu Yue pouted and nodded heavily.

Actually, she hoped this baby would be a boy. Although she knew Xie Yan didn't care, the rumors outside could still kill.

Xie Yan cupped her cheeks in his hands, stared into Yu Yuehui's eyes, and said solemnly, "Yu Xiaoyue, in our family, boys and girls are the same."

"We raised them with so much care, what's wrong with letting them serve us a little?"

"We took care of them when they were young, and now that they've grown up, they're taking care of us in return. Isn't that just a matter of course?"

"So at home, whether you're a boy or a girl, you have to work hard. I'm the only one who can eat for free, that's enough~" The last few words have a hint of coquetry.
