Chapter 425 Started
Gu Yan followed her into the examination room and stood not far away, quietly taking notes but not getting too close.
After the inspection, Lin Anan tidied her clothes.
Chu Mingzhou was standing at the door waiting. As soon as the door opened, he immediately stepped forward to support the person and asked, "How is it?"
"Everything is fine."
Gu Yan nodded slightly at him as a greeting, picked up the inspection report and said, "I'll go enter the results into the system. Call me if there's anything else."
After saying that, he turned and left, his footsteps so light that they made almost no sound.
"He seems... not quite right." Chu Mingzhou looked at Gu Yan's back as he disappeared at the end of the corridor, his brows slightly furrowed.
From the first time he met Gu Yan, Chu Mingzhou felt that there was an indescribable sense of alienation about this man. He seemed to isolate himself in a transparent cover, which would only open up when facing An An.
This feeling seems to be stronger today, mixed with a hint of... fatigue?
Lin Anan went back to the ward and rested in bed. She leaned against the head of the bed, took the spoon handed to her by Chu Mingzhou, scooped a mouthful of mung bean soup and drank it. The sweet taste melted on her tongue, "It tastes good, very thirst-quenching.
By the way, don’t you have to go to the group meeting this afternoon? Go now, don’t stay here with me, my parents are here.”
"Okay, I'll stay with you for a while and then leave."
The sky outside the window suddenly darkened, and the lead-gray clouds pressed very low, filtering the afternoon sunlight into a faint halo.
Suddenly, raindrops as big as beans fell, hitting the glass with a crackling sound, and the whole world was covered in a curtain of rain.
"Why is it raining so heavily all of a sudden? Fortunately, we arrived early."
Father Lin had just gone to the water room to get two thermos of hot water, and his body was soaked by the rain.
Lin's mother also hurried back with a washbasin in her arms, "Mingzhou, I brought an umbrella, take it back with you, so you don't get wet when you get off the bus."
"Okay, thanks mom."
"Why are you always thanking me? You're even being polite to mom!"
Chu Mingzhou took the black cloth umbrella handed to him by Lin's mother and sat for a while, looking at Lin Anan with some reluctance in his eyes.
"Don't be late for the regular meeting. Things in the army cannot be delayed." Father Lin wiped the rain from his forehead and placed the thermos under the bedside table. "An An, your mother and I will be watching over you. Doctor Gu also said that he will be on call at any time. Don't worry."
Lin Anan leaned against the head of the bed and waved at him, "Go quickly."
"Well, if you need anything, feel free to press the call bell. I will send a guard to stand guard. If you need anything, ask him to call me from the regiment. I will be there in ten minutes or so."
His voice was very low, with a soothing tone that only the two of them could understand, "Don't think too much, and don't be afraid."
"knew."
After Lin Anan gave repeated assurances, Chu Mingzhou got up and left.
After the others left, Lin's father and mother sat on one side and chatted with their daughter.
Lin Anan has been married and following the army for more than a year, and the family has endless topics to talk about.
Lin Anan was in a very relaxed state, not feeling the slightest bit nervous about giving birth. She just kept talking about whatever topic came up, and laughter could be heard from the ward from time to time.
Gu Yan packed and sent dinner, it was simple but the nutritional combination was very balanced.
Lin Anan thought she would have to lie here for a few days, but she never expected... that she would have an attack that night.
"Mom, my stomach hurts." Just as she was beginning to feel sleepy, Lin Anan was awakened by a violent pain.
Mother Lin was an experienced mother with rich childbirth experience. She helped Lin Anan sit up and said, "Get ready. Let's go wash our hair and take a shower first. I've already asked for the location of the shower room, and Doctor Gu has also informed us in advance."
"Ah? Aren't you planning to give birth..."
"It's too early. Wash yourself first so you don't suffer during the confinement period."
"Oh, okay."
Lin Anan sat for a while and found that her stomach was not responding again, so she became a little uncertain.
"That's right, it's okay."
"Okay."
The hot water in the shower room was steaming up white mist. Lin Anan sat on a stool, supporting herself against the wall with her hands as she eased through another contraction. She felt the abdominal pain ebb and flow like the tide.
Lin's mother was extremely skillful and washed her clean from head to toe.
This technique...is also something she has practiced. After all, she has been bathing her daughter since she was little.
When I came out of the shower, there was a nurse standing at the door. "Here, Doctor Gu asked me to get the hair dryer."
"Hey, thank you, little comrade."
"fine."
Back in the ward, a more intense contraction came. Lin Anan grabbed the bed sheets in pain, her knuckles turning white.
"Mom! I think my water broke?"
Lin Anan wasn't very sure either, it just... felt very strange.
Father Lin immediately rang the call bell.
The doctor arrived faster than expected.
Gu Yan followed closely behind.
"Fetal heart rate is 140, normal."
"The cervix is two fingers dilated, get ready to go to the delivery room."
The moment the guard received Lin Anan into the delivery room, he immediately ran away.
The lights in the delivery room came on.
Lin Anan no longer thought about anything. The severe pain almost made her faint.
Lin's father and mother were stopped outside the delivery room and were so anxious that they were spinning around.
They didn't dare show the slightest bit of nervousness in front of Lin Anan, but in fact, Lin's father's clothes were soaked with nervousness.
Inside the delivery room, everyone was on high alert.
"Take a deep breath first, this is not the time to exert too much force."
Lin Anan felt her body being torn apart by pain. Her consciousness gradually became blurred. She did not dare to scream. She could only take deep breaths and hold on.
I don't know how long it took, but the doctor said, "Start pushing."
Lin Anan just let out the first heart-wrenching cry.
Chu Mingzhou had arrived a long time ago and stood there quietly for a long time. When he heard the scream in the delivery room, he felt his heart was about to break.
“An An…”
Lin Anan's shouts came through the heavy door, and each one was like a sledgehammer hitting his heart.
The guard handed him a towel, but he waved his hand to interrupt him, staring at the red indicator light "In Surgery", as if he wanted to burn through the light.
In the delivery room, Lin Anan's consciousness was floating in severe pain, and she could no longer see clearly what was in front of her.
She didn't know how long it had been before she felt a familiar breath approaching, gently prying her mouth open and putting a few pieces of food into her mouth.
An extremely strong ginseng scent spreads.
Lin Anan's consciousness, which was almost scattered, was gathered together bit by bit.
"The mother is too weak. If she can't give birth again, she will have to undergo a caesarean section."
Lin Anan took a deep breath, struggled to open her eyes, and blurry saw a pair of familiar eyes - those eyes were surging with turbulent waves that she had never seen before, as if they were desperately trying to salvage the last bit of warmth in a fire.
"Doctor Gu, the mother's blood pressure is low! But it's very dangerous for her to be anesthetized, and she may not wake up. Please make a decision quickly!" The midwife's voice suddenly rose.
Gu Yan suddenly grabbed Lin Anan's hand and said, "Five minutes. If she hasn't recovered in five minutes, switch to a caesarean section immediately. I will do the anesthesia myself."
"yes."
"Ah——!" Another wave of severe pain came, Lin Anan's nails dug deeply into the back of Gu Yan's hand, leaving a deep mark with blood all over it.
"Don't be afraid, An An. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you..."
