Chapter 510 Xi
The Second Hospital of the People's Liberation Army in Zhonghui District.
"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. I'll be waiting for you outside. Everything will be fine!"
At the last moment before entering the delivery room, Shen Ci let go of Wang Zhaoning's hand, and her heart instantly rose as the white door closed.
Even though medical technology is now very mature and complete, giving birth is still full of fear for women.
Even if it’s not your own child.
"It's okay, this is her second child, it will be easier than the first time." Shen Jingjing felt her daughter's tense nerves and stepped forward to pat her gently.
Shen Ci couldn't suppress the nervousness in her heart, because her emotions were not just because of the birth.
More importantly, she promised her brother that she would take good care of her sister-in-law and children, so no accidents must happen.
Soon, Duanduan and several important people around Yan Wenxi arrived one after another.
Because Shen Jingjing was present, no one dared to address Shen Ci with a respectful title. Only Duanduan stepped forward and asked directly, "What's wrong?"
"I just went in half an hour ago, so I should be fine."
Duanduan and the other grown men had no idea about childbirth, and the only thing they could do was to stay here together.
Chen Ci was still wrapped in her pajamas. Seeing this, Sister Lin stepped forward and said, "Miss Chen, I'll take Xuxu back first. He has to go to school early tomorrow morning. Then I'll bring you a coat. The air conditioning in this hospital is very strong. You must not get sick."
"Okay, thank you Sister Lin."
"It's not a trouble. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise..." Mrs. Lin choked up a little as she spoke. She couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought of the hardships Wang Zhaoning had gone through while pregnant alone these days.
"Don't worry, I'll always be here. Take Xuxu back first."
Mrs. Lin nodded and left with Xuxu, who looked frightened.
"Sit down and wait. It'll take a while." Shen Jingjing pulled Shen Ci to sit on a chair beside her.
Chen Ci was a little dazed. Earlier, she wanted to send her sister-in-law to the hospital for delivery, but her sister-in-law was unwilling to go. She thought that the medical facilities around the community were very comprehensive, so she did not force it.
Fortunately, she came back from Jiyang.
"Auntie, how long will it take to give birth?" Duanduan asked cautiously.
Shen Jingjing explained: "It's hard to say. It depends on her own situation and her physical condition. A natural birth will take longer."
It was Wang Zhaoning's own request to have a natural birth.
Duanduan nodded without asking any more questions. Everyone fell silent for a moment, making the atmosphere even more tense.
Chen Ci only looked down at the time from time to time, and felt that time seemed to have stopped, so slow that it made people anxious.
After an unknown amount of time, the door finally opened and a young nurse came out. Everyone stood up at the same time to greet her.
"Nurse, is the baby born?" Shen Ci asked impatiently.
The young nurse glanced at everyone calmly, and finally her eyes fell on Shen Jingjing, who was obviously an elder: "The fetus is in a breech position, which will affect the process, but don't worry, the mother is in good condition. She obviously did breathing training before the birth and is very cooperative."
Everyone felt a little relieved when they heard this.
The nurse turned around and closed the door again.
It was another long wait, and when the door opened again, the faint cry of a baby could be heard.
The doctor in a white coat took off his mask and walked out: "Congratulations, it's a girl, weighing 7.32 catties."
When Mrs. Lin heard this, tears welled up in her eyes: "That's great, that's great."
Shen Ci asked anxiously: "Doctor, is mother okay?"
"Mother and daughter are safe. After the cleanup is complete, the mother will be transferred to the ward first, and the child will go to the observation room first. You just need to wait here for the mother to come out."
The doctor then added, "Oh, by the way, remember to pay the bill."
"I'll go, I'll go." Duanduan quickly raised her hand.
Shen Ci breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his face. Seeing this, Shen Jingjing said, "It's okay, you can rest assured."
Shen Ci smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think I would be this nervous even if I gave birth myself."
But Shen Jingjing blurted out: "It doesn't matter, if you are afraid, then don't give birth."
Shen Ci was slightly startled, looked at her mother and asked, "Mom, do you agree that I don't want to have children?"
"Why do you need my consent to have a baby?" Shen Jingjing blinked and looked at her daughter tenderly: "That's your decision."
Shen Ci’s heart warmed: “What if I don’t get married?”
"That's your own business."
Shen Ci smiled, and the mother in front of her became even more majestic in her heart.
Soon, Wang Zhaoning and the child were pushed out.
"sister in law!"
Shen Ci was the first to come to the cart and took Wang Zhaoning's hand: "Thank you for your hard work."
Wang Zhaoning's face was pale and she looked very tired. She didn't even have the strength to speak, but her eyes were full of emotions when she looked at Shen Ci, full of gratitude.
"Rest first, I won't leave, I'll stay with you." Shen Ci said.
Wang Zhaoning nodded slightly, and Shen Ci pushed her to the single room.
By the time everything was settled, it was already dawn.
"Natural childbirth is physically demanding, so she needs some nutrition. I'll go back and make her something light." Shen Jingjing had experience and knew that she could eat immediately after a natural childbirth.
"Mrs. Chen, I'm sorry to trouble you. I'll go back and fix it. I also happen to be making breakfast for Xuxu." Mrs. Lin quickly took on the job.
Shen Ci also said: "Mom, go back and catch up on your sleep, and let Sister Lin do it."
"Okay, I have to go to the company this afternoon. If you have anything, please send me a message."
After her mother and Sister Lin left, Chen Ci said to Duan Duan and the others, "Everyone has worked hard, go back and rest, I will be with you here."
"Sister Ci, let me stay so that you can take care of me." Duanduan was worried.
Chen Ci looked at him and said, "What are you looking after? It's not convenient for a man like you to help."
"Wouldn't it at least be possible to run some errands for you?"
"Then you should at least go back and get some sleep before coming back."
Duanduan glanced down at her watch and said, "I'll just book a room in a hotel outside the hospital and sleep for the whole morning. This hospital has professional postpartum caregivers. I've paid them, but they won't be here until 8 o'clock. When they show up, Sister Ci, you can take a break too."
Shen Ci smiled and nodded when she heard this: "It's a very thoughtful arrangement, thank you for your hard work."
"It's my duty." Duanduan said without staying for long and asked others to leave together.
Shen Ci walked to the bed and sat down. At this time, Wang Zhaoning had also recovered a little strength and whispered, "Thank you, Ah Ci."
"You should thank yourself for having both a son and a daughter." Shen Ci said softly, "Have you thought of a name for your daughter?"
"Well, your brother said that if it's a girl, she should be named Xixi."
Chen Ci thought about it and said softly: "Xi, she was born at dawn, and the word Xi represents hope. What a good name!"
