Chapter 296 Don’t sleep, wife, I beg you.

December has arrived.

The weather in Nancheng is much colder than in previous years.

Xu Jialan's belly is surprisingly big.

Or maybe, she has a slim figure and has hardly gained any weight, so her belly looks so big.

Shen Xichuan never told her that every time he saw her walking while holding her belly, he was terrified.

So there is still about a week until the due date.

Without saying a word, Shen Xichuan waved his hand and took her directly to the hospital.

One floor of the VIP ward was almost fully booked.

No one else is allowed to enter or leave except the doctor and nurse in charge of the delivery.

There are bodyguards outside who are responsible for protecting Xu Jialan.

Shen Xichuan brought a bowl of soup and coaxed Xu Jialan to drink it.

An Yuening had just finished communicating with the doctor and walked in, and saw her best friend's delicate side.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "I asked the doctor, it will probably be in the next few days. Don't worry, I will be with you when the time comes."

Xu Jialan drank the soup that Shen Xichuan fed him, “Well, I’m not worried.”

She wasn't the one most worried about this birth.

Hearing what the two said, Shen Xichuan's eyes narrowed slightly, but his movements did not stop.

An Yuening also saw it, shrugged her shoulders and said nothing.

She stayed for a while and then left.

There are some things in the laboratory that need to be dealt with.

Shen Xichuan put down the bowl and wiped Xu Jialan’s mouth.

Xu Jialan's eyes fell on his face, "Husband."

Shen Xichuan hummed.

"When the time comes to give birth, I'll go into the delivery room alone, okay?" she asked.

Shen Xichuan refused decisively, “Not good.”

"Ningning is with me, and there are so many doctors here, so you don't have to worry."

Xu Jialan tried to make him give up.

Shen Xichuan took a deep breath, turned around and looked at her, “I know what you are thinking, but if I wait outside alone, I will only worry more.”

Especially since he couldn't see her, didn't know how much pain she was in, and he couldn't even share a bit of her pain.

Even in the delivery room, there was nothing he could do.

But he still wanted to stay in there with her.

I won't let her face it alone.

Xu Jialan looked at him quietly.

After a while, she sighed, "Okay, then you will stay with me to welcome the birth of our baby."

Shen Xichuan’s Adam’s apple moved, and he whispered, “Okay.”

…

Time passes by little by little.

A week has passed.

There was still no movement in Xu Jialan's stomach.

Mrs. Shen frowned. She had no idea how many times she had consulted a doctor about the situation.

The doctor confirmed over and over again that there was nothing wrong with Xu Jialan and the baby in her belly.

Mrs. Shen was still worried, “Lanlan, if you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell us.”

Xu Jialan has eaten well and slept well these two days.

She smiled and said, "Okay, I get it, Mom."

Madam Shen sighed and turned her gaze to Shen Xichuan, who had not said much on the side.

She wanted to say something else.

The head of the Shen family pulled her hand and shook his head.

If he continued talking, Shen Xichuan would probably be even more worried.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen didn't say anything else.

…

Five more days passed.

In the middle of the night.

Xu Jialan's brows suddenly furrowed.

She tightened her fingertips, clutching the quilt, and called out in a trembling voice, "Husband."

Shen Xichuan has been guarding nearby.

As soon as she spoke, he woke up.

"I am here."

Xu Jialan panted slightly and looked at him, "I might be about to give birth, you..."

She hadn't finished speaking yet.

Shen Xichuan’s brain went blank for a moment.

Then he pressed the call bell reflexively.

He held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, your husband is here, I will always be with you."

Xu Jialan nodded.

She really wanted to say that she was not afraid at all.

But the sudden contractions made her so painful that she could hardly breathe.

Doctors and nurses have been on high alert these days.

It wasn't long before the call bell was pressed.

A group of people came to the ward.

The doctors and nurses examined the patients in an orderly manner.

"It's time to give birth, but my water hasn't broken yet, so I probably can't go into the delivery room yet."

Xu Jialan frowned and bit his lower lip.

Shen Xichuan wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned to look at the doctor.

For the first time, I lost my sense of proportion.

His voice was filled with a hint of anger. "She's in so much pain, why are you still waiting?"

The doctor felt the pressure of the powerful aura, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly explained, "Second Young Master, the Second Madam's water hasn't broken yet. Even if she goes to the delivery room, she still has to wait."

Shen Xichuan wanted to say something else.

Xu Jialan squeezed his hand tightly and whispered, "Husband."

The man immediately turned around and leaned over, "I'm here."

He touched her head soothingly with his hand, lowered his head, and kissed her sweat-soaked hair.

"Does it hurt? If it hurts, bite my hand, don't bite yourself."

Xu Jialan shook his head, "I'm not hurt."

Shen Xichuan’s eyes deepened as he looked at her pale face and the red bloodstains on her lips.

His Adam's apple rolled, and he said hoarsely, "Yeah, I know."

The doctor has sent someone to notify the Shen family.

Maybe the baby doesn't want his mother to be in pain for too long.

In less than an hour, my cervix was already dilated to 3 fingers.

Xu Jialan was immediately pushed into the delivery room.

At this time, the head of the Shen family and others rushed to the outside of the delivery room.

Mrs. Shen grabbed a nurse and asked, “Where is my daughter-in-law?”

"Madam, the second wife just entered the delivery room."

There were also hurried footsteps coming from not far away in the corridor.

Mr. Liang and Mrs. Liang are here.

Not long after, Shen Yankai and An Yuening also arrived.

An Yuening said hello, changed into sterile clothes, and entered the delivery room.

The others were waiting outside.

…

In the delivery room.

Xu Jialan was lying on the delivery bed.

Her black hair was almost soaked with sweat.

She clutched the edge of the bed tightly with one hand.

The other hand was held by Shen Xichuan.

After An Yuening came in, she glanced at Shen Xichuan.

The man who had always been noble and unruly now had a pale face, his short hair hanging messily on his forehead, and he looked at his lover with worry and heartache in his eyes.

He was at a loss, but kept coaxing her in a low voice.

An Yuening withdrew her gaze and went up to ask the midwife about the situation.

Xu Jialan was in so much pain that he almost lost consciousness.

Those beautiful bright eyes were tightly closed.

The doctor called out, "Second Madam, you can't sleep. We've already seen the baby's head."

Shen Xichuan felt that his heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment.

He stroked Xu Jialan's head, his voice trembling, "Baby?"

Xu Jialan's eyes were still closed.

She held Shen Xichuan's hand, and her strength dissipated little by little.

Shen Xichuan’s hands and feet were numb and cold, his eyes full of helplessness and panic.

"Don't sleep, wife, I beg you."
