Chapter 117: Hospitalization for Childbirth (Page 1/2)

Liao Sijie climbed down from the upper bunk, helped turn on the light, and walked to the door rubbing her eyes. "Auntie, is my cousin's wife about to give birth?"

Xiao Rong turned around and said, "Not yet. Go to sleep! You don't have to go to the hospital with me. Stay home and cook. There's money and bills in the drawer. Take them to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow and buy a pig's trotter and a chicken."

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Man definitely won't be able to give birth for a while, and even with so many people in the hospital, they can only watch. Leaving Liao Sijie at home means at least there is someone to cook.

Lin Man was sent to the hospital and it was already eleven o'clock when she was arranged to be hospitalized. The doctor on duty examined her and said that her cervix was already dilated, only one finger, and asked her to have a good night's sleep.

But how could Lin Man sleep? The pain came every ten minutes or so, and each pain lasted for one or two minutes. She curled up whenever it hurt.

Huo Qingci said to Xiao Ya, "Mom, the doctor said I'm only one finger dilated. I don't think I'll be able to give birth until tomorrow noon. You should go back and rest! I'm watching over Manman."

Lin Man had just recovered by then, and she said, "Mom, go back. Come back tomorrow morning."

Xiao Ya also knew that Lin Man was only one finger dilated and would not be able to give birth for a while. Fortunately, the baby's fetal position was normal, so she thought about it and decided to go back.

If everyone stays here, who will be able to help look after the children tomorrow? Lin Man was swapped when she was a child, so they have to take care of her children.

"Qingci, you must stay alert and take good care of Manman. Don't fall asleep!"

"Mom, I know. Go back with a flashlight and be careful on the road."

"knew."

When Xiao Ya returned, Huo Qingci moved a small stool and sat beside her bed. He held her hand and, seeing that she was in great pain during contractions, he gently rubbed it for her.

"Manman, go to sleep. If you feel uncomfortable, I will gently massage you."

"The pain is so severe that I can't sleep. When will the morning come?"

"It's only a finger now, there's no guarantee you'll survive even at daybreak."

Lin Man finally understood what it meant to feel like every day was a year. Whenever she felt pain, she would stare at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, groaning.

Seeing her like that, Huo Qingci wished he could bear the pain himself. When Lin Man recovered, she suddenly said, "Giving birth to a child is so painful. I don't want to have a daughter anymore. I don't want her to experience the pain of giving birth too."

Huo Qingci suddenly leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Manman, I'll try using my healing ability. Do you think your stomach will still hurt as much during contractions?"

Lin Man asked: "Is it okay?"

"You'll know if you try it."

Huang Qiuju, the woman in bed 1, had no idea what the couple in bed 2 were whispering to each other. She looked at Lin Man with envy.

They were both sent to the hospital in the middle of the night. Her husband was sleeping soundly beside the bed, while the husband of the woman in bed 2 was gently coaxing his wife and rubbing her belly with his hands.

“Ouch! Ouch!”

Huang Qiuju screamed in pain, only to find that her husband hadn't even opened his eyes. Comparing yourself with others can really make you angry.

Lin Man's contractions started again. Her stomach seemed to have turned into a basketball that had just been inflated. It was hard and every contraction brought a sharp pain.

Her face turned pale with pain, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her lips lost their color.

Huo Qingci held Lin Man's hand tightly, his eyes full of worry and heartache.

He gently placed his hand on Lin Man's bulging belly. This time he did not rub it as usual, but concentrated his mind and slowly transferred his healing power into it.

Lin Man suddenly felt a warm force coming from Huo Qingci's hand, and the pain gradually eased.

She touched her belly in surprise. The contractions were still there, but the piercing pain was gone.

Huo Qingci asked Lin Man: "Does it still hurt?"

Lin Man said: "I'm much better now, you should take a rest too!"

"good."

Huo Qingci held Lin Man's hand, leaned his head against her hand and closed his eyes for a while.

Lin Man didn't expect that after transferring her healing ability once, she wouldn't feel any pain for an hour.

Because the pain was gone, Lin Man fell asleep quickly. Huo Qingci also dozed off for a while, but after an hour of sleep, the pain suddenly came back.

Looking at the tired-looking man leaning next to her, Lin Man couldn't bear to wake him up and endured it.

The woman in the next bed started to cry out, which made Lin Man feel even more pain. She found that the pain used to come every ten minutes, but now it came every six or seven minutes, and the pain lasted one minute longer than before.

She grimaced in pain but finally groaned. As soon as Lin Man groaned, Huo Qingci sat up all of a sudden.

"Manman, you're in pain again."

Lin Man hummed softly, and Huo Qingci quickly put his hand on it again. This time, he transferred his supernatural power for a longer time than the previous time.

Seeing his face gradually turning pale, Lin Man felt nervous. She quickly reached out and gently took his hand away, saying with concern, "Qingci, drink some water!" There was a hint of anxiety and worry in her voice.

Huo Qingci nodded and responded softly: "Okay, do you want to drink some too?"

His eyes revealed his concern for Lin Man, and Lin Man replied gently, "Okay."

Huo Qingci's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of the medicinal spring in his space.

That magical medicinal spring might help Manman feel more energetic when giving birth. He stood up and wanted to get some medicinal spring for Lin Man to drink.

However, the moment he stood up, he suddenly felt dizzy, his feet felt like they were stepping on cotton, and his body began to shake involuntarily. His heart sank, and he suspected that it was because of the transfer of supernatural power that caused his body to be a little weak.

So he quickly sat down again, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

During this brief silence, Lin Man's eyes never left Huo Qingci.

She looked at his haggard face, her heart filled with heartache. She knew that he was willing to sacrifice everything for her and the child, even disregarding his own health, and this deep affection moved her deeply.

Huo Qingci went out with the enamel pot and came back soon. Lin Man looked at the green medicinal spring water in the cup and was a little worried that it was bath water.

Huo Qingci said, "Drink it, it's clean."

Lin Man was a little skeptical. Huo Qingci took a sip from the enamel cup and whispered in her ear, "This is water from the medicinal spring, not the medicinal spring pool."

Lin Man then drank the remaining half cup of medicinal spring from Huo Qingci's hand. This was her first time drinking medicinal spring. Unexpectedly, after drinking it, her fingertips felt a little itchy, and her wood-type ability seemed to be more abundant.

My stomach doesn't hurt anymore and I feel more energetic. I wanted to sleep but now I can't fall asleep.

At around two in the morning, another woman was brought into their room. The doctor pulled up the curtain and examined Lin Man again, saying, "Your cervix is ​​very dilated, now three fingers dilated. If you can sleep, please sleep for a while."

When Lin Man heard that the cervix was dilated to three fingers, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to see any change. She was worried that the cervix would be dilated to one finger and then would not move all night. If that happened, she would have to give birth for one or two days.
