Chapter 566 Giving Birth

"What's wrong?"

Su Lao Er turned around and noticed that Xu Ying's expression was off. He followed her gaze downwards.

Seeing the liquid flowing between her legs, my mind went completely blank.

The next second, he quickly packed the hospital bag, slung it over his shoulder, and rushed over to pick up Xu Ying. "Her water broke! We have to get to the hospital immediately!"

He grabbed the person and tried to rush out.

"Mom, call Mom, the car..."

Xu Ying clutched his clothes, her face pale with pain. "...It hurts!"

When Su Lao Er saw that Xu Ying's face was frighteningly pale, he thought of the dangers of childbirth that he had read in the popular science books, and his body shuddered.

He bit down on the tip of his tongue, and the taste of blood calmed him down.

"There wasn't enough time for Mom and Dad to drive over, so I carried you out to hail a taxi."

As contractions began, Xu Ying gripped Su Lao Er's clothes, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat from the pain, unable to utter a single word.

Su Lao Er's face turned pale with worry.

He carried Xu Ying out of the courtyard and ran to the street to flag down several taxis, but none of them were willing to stop. Xu Ying's cries of pain grew louder and louder, and Su Lao Er was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat and almost knelt down to the taxi drivers.

Just then, Mr. and Mrs. Xu arrived by car. When they saw the young couple's miserable state, their expressions changed.

"Is she about to give birth?" Xu's mother opened the car door and rushed out to touch Xu Ying's sweat-dampened hair.

Xu Ying's eyes were red. "Mom, it hurts so much."

“Nannan…”

Su Lao Er's eyes also reddened. As if seeing a savior, he called out "Mom and Dad," his voice choked with emotion, "Yingzi's water broke, she's about to give birth, we have to go to the hospital immediately..."

“Go, you hold the baby in the back seat and let your mom go with you first. I’ll take a taxi to meet you.”

Xu's father took the maternity bag from Su Lao Er's body and urged them to get in the car.

The car ran two red lights and arrived at the People's Hospital.

The obstetrics nurse glanced at Xu Ying's condition and her expression changed. "Her cervix is ​​already dilated to eight centimeters. Quickly, take her to the delivery room."

"Xu Ying!"

Xu's mother exclaimed "Ah!"

Why are you driving so fast?

Xu Ying bit her lip until it bled from the pain. It hurt so much! How could childbirth be so painful?

“Nannan can’t bite anymore, she’s bitten her lip until it’s bleeding.” Xu’s mother held her hand and looked at the nurse, “Can I go in with my daughter to give birth? She’s an older mother, and this is her first child…”

Su Lao Er stood by, looking on longingly; he also wanted to go in and keep Xu Ying company.

Xu Ying's face looked terrible; he was inexplicably terrified.

All I can think about is that after this child is born, I never want another one.

"Sorry, no, her cervix is ​​dilating quickly, so she will give birth quickly as well. Don't worry, family members, we will take care of the mother's safety."

After the nurse finished speaking, she pushed Xu Ying, who was lying on the transfer bed, and rushed towards the delivery room.

When Xu's father arrived at the delivery room door, panting, carrying the delivery bag, he heard the baby crying loudly from inside.

"The baby has been born..."

Xu's mother murmured something, and Xu's father, panting heavily, paused for a moment upon hearing her words.

Su Lao Er stared at the delivery room door, his hands and feet frozen in one position, completely numb.

A moment later, the delivery room door opened, and a nurse poked her head out, calling out, "Xu Ying's family, did you get the baby's clothes? Where's the swaddle blanket?"

Su Lao Er turned to look at Xu's father.

Xu's father stared at him for several seconds before he suddenly realized that all the things were with him.

He hurriedly handed the items over.

The nurse waved her hand, "Just give me the baby's clothes and blanket."

Xu's father nodded hurriedly and looked down to find the blankets and clothes, but he hadn't packed the things, so he was flustered. Su Lao Er wanted to help, but when he lifted his foot, he missed and fell to the ground.

He could have supported himself with his outstretched arm, but his hand went numb, and he reacted a beat too late. With a 'thud,' his forehead hit the ground first.

Then came a dense, needle-like pain.

Xu's mother cried out in pain and went to help Su Lao Er.

Su Lao Er struggled to crawl over, took the cleaned aunt's husband and the swaddle blanket, and handed them to Xu's mother, "Mom..."

Xu's mother took it and got up to hand it to the nurse.

The nurse gave Su Lao Er a strange look, then turned and went inside.

A little while later, the nurse came out carrying the baby, smiling and congratulating her, "Congratulations, Xu Ying has given birth to a boy! Mother and child are both safe. Where's the father? The mother said the father can hold the baby first..."

Xu's father and mother were looking at each other happily when they heard this, and they looked at Su Lao Er with a mixture of resentment and envy.

Su Lao Er's palms were sweating nervously. "I...I dare not..."

The nurse smiled and taught him how to hold the baby.

Su Lao Er carefully reached out his hand, and the nurse placed the child in his arms and adjusted his position. "Okay."

The nurse turned and left.

Su Lao Er was stiff all over and dared not move. Looking at the wrinkled child in his arms who looked like a little monkey, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Just then, the child in her arms opened his eyes, his large, clear eyes meeting Su Lao Er's.

Su Lao Er was startled.

This is his and Xu Ying's child.

He has his blood in his veins, so he might look like him but have the personality of Xu Ying, or he might look like Xu Ying but have the personality of him.

Life is truly amazing.

Su Lao Er felt that the more he looked at the wrinkled little monkey, the more beautiful it became.

How come his son is so good-looking?

The little boy gave a delicate yawn, tilted his head to look at Su Lao Er, and then glanced to the side.

"Oh my, this little guy has such big eyes."

"That's right, it wasn't for nothing that your mother ate so many grapes..."

Xu's father and mother had somehow gotten close to Su Lao Er, smiling as they looked at their newborn grandson.

Su Lao Er called to his parents, "Do you want to hug him?"

Mr. Xu immediately took two steps back, shaking his head like a rattle drum, "No, no, I dare not."

Xu's mother chuckled at him and carefully reached out to take the child.

Su Lao Er held his breath until Xu's mother hugged the child into her arms. Only then did he deflate like a punctured balloon, his legs going weak as he retreated to the bench and plopped down.

Xu's mother, "..."

She smiled and shook her head at the father and son.

Once the child was in her arms, Xu's mother suddenly remembered, "Min'an, did you call your mother?"

Su Lao Er: "...I haven't had time yet. I'll go now. Mom and Dad, please keep an eye on Yingzi for me."

"Okay, go quickly."

Su Lao Er quickly went downstairs to make a phone call.

Li Banxia arrived at the hospital within half an hour, followed by Arno.

Xu Ying has been moved to a regular ward.

Mr. Xu made a special phone call to arrange a private room.

Li Banxia went to see Xu Ying, while Arno and Su Lao Er went to find the doctor who delivered Xu Ying's baby and asked about some details of her delivery process and what she needed to pay attention to in the later stages of recovery.

Back in the ward, Arno greeted Xu's parents with a smile and said to Xu Ying, "Second sister-in-law, I'll take care of you during your postpartum period. Tonight I'll make a list of things you absolutely cannot do, understand?"

Xu Ying smiled and nodded, saying okay.

"...Trust me, I guarantee I'll help you get back to your pre-pregnancy figure in two months at the latest." Arno patted his chest.

This surprised Xu Ying somewhat. "Is that alright?"
