Xiao Xiaoting nodded, "We can give you an epidural."
Upon hearing this, Bi Qiaoan said with a pale face, "No, I can still hold on."
She didn't really know why she insisted on it; she just didn't want the medication to affect the baby.
Although, it may not have any impact at all.
Shen Yanming did not force him; he simply held Bi Qiaoan's hands tenderly, gripping them tighter and tighter.
Xiao Xiaoting glanced at the two of them and said, "In that case, let's wait a little longer. Labor doesn't happen that quickly. I'll come back later to check on the dilation of the cervix."
By the way, if you're prepared, let the expectant mother eat something so she'll have the strength to give birth.
Shen Yanming nodded, "Thank you, you've worked hard!"
Xiao Xiaoting smiled and left without saying anything more. Not long after she left the delivery room, Zhang Heping stopped her.
"Xiaoting, how's it inside?" Zhang Heping asked.
Before Xiao Xiaoting arrived, she already knew about the relationship between Zhang Heping and the couple inside, so she did not hide anything and told them the truth.
Zhang Heping thanked her and told Xiao Xiaoting to go and rest. He said she could run over and call her if she needed anything.
Xiao Xiaoting didn't make a fuss, waved her hand and left.
Zhang Heping didn't want to go in and ask, so he sat on a bench in the corridor and continued to wait.
Someone overheard his conversation with the nurse and went up to ask, "Is your wife giving birth inside?"
Zhang Heping shook his head and chuckled, "That's my brother's wife inside."
The man gave a thumbs up, "You've done a great job as a brother, not only helping to arrange a ward but also staying with me the whole time!"
Zhang Heping felt something was off about those words, but he didn't think too much about it and said, "My brother doesn't have any relatives, just a few of us friends who look after each other. If I don't help him make arrangements, who else can they rely on?"
The man smiled meaningfully and sat down beside him, looking towards the ward door. Those around them who overheard the conversation were also whispering amongst themselves.
But Zhang Heping didn't notice the strange atmosphere at all. He was filled with worry, afraid that something might happen to Qiao An and that Shen Yanming wouldn't be able to hold on.
Fifteen minutes later, Comrade Shen came out. He took the thermos from Qiao An and said that Qiao An was hungry and wanted to eat something.
Zhang Heping quickly seized the opportunity: "Is there anything else you need?"
Shen Yanming shook his head. "I don't know. Let's leave it at that for now and see what happens later. If you're tired, go back and rest."
Zhang Heping resolutely refused, saying, "How can that be? I still need to see my little nephew and niece born."
Shen Yanming didn't say anything more and went back to his ward.
The patient's family member, who was sitting nearby watching the scene, was dumbfounded. He asked, "Is that... your brother?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Heping glanced at him with a puzzled look, "Otherwise what?"
"Heh, heh heh!" The man chuckled awkwardly, touching his nose and not daring to speak.
Zhang Heping ignored him and leaned back on the bench, closing his eyes to rest.
He didn't notice that the family members of the pregnant women around him, who had been gossiping excitedly, suddenly fell silent, and the corridor became eerily quiet.
So, this isn't as exciting as they imagined at all. What's the point of them gossiping about it?
Let's tone it down a bit, lest someone catch us spreading rumors!
So the people who had been gossiping dispersed, and when someone brought it up again, they even offered to clarify things.
Sigh, it's true, there are always people who love to watch the drama unfold wherever they go!
Shen Yanming, in the hospital room, had no idea that he had almost been suspected of being cuckolded. After feeding his wife half a bowl of chicken noodle soup, he continued to stay with her while she waited for her cervix to dilate.
Seeing her in so much pain, almost biting her lip until it bled, Shen Yanming couldn't help but put his hand in his backpack, take out the spiritual spring water he had prepared beforehand, and let his wife drink a couple of sips, hoping to relieve the pain. If it could speed up the delivery, that would be even better.
Little did he know, the more Bi Qiaoan drank from this spiritual spring water, the more it hurt!
Seeing that his wife's pain had not only not eased but had become even more intense, Shen Yanming was terrified.
He even wondered if he had made a mistake in his haste and grabbed a bottle of ordinary purified water.
After he took two sips, he realized that he was right.
If that's correct, then why can't Bi Qiaoan's pain be relieved?
Of course, this result wasn't solely due to those two sips of spiritual spring water today. Her body's sensitivity is also related to her usual diet and lifestyle.
To ensure his wife's good health, Shen Yanming often prepared food mixed with spiritual spring water.
Over time, apart from her belly, Bi Qiaoan's entire body became like that of a young girl.
Therefore, the cheat software caused Bi Qiaoan to suffer pain that she shouldn't have had to endure, and she was completely unaware of it.
Even the usually clever Shen Yanming couldn't figure out the key to it, and could only keep getting anxious.
Of course, the spiritual spring water also has one benefit: it improves muscle elasticity and prevents tearing.
And so, the two of them waited, completely bewildered.
When Xiao Xiaoting came in for the fifth time, she looked at the wet bed and said, "You can go into the delivery room now. It's best if your husband doesn't come with you."
Shen Yanming wanted to say something, but Bi Qiaoan grabbed his hand and shook her head, "It's okay, you can wait for me outside!"
"I, I can stay with you, really!" Shen Yanming tried to persuade her.
Bi Qiaoan, however, was adamant and refused to allow him to accompany her. It was as if, in the hospital room, she wouldn't allow him to look down, only letting him stay by her bedside.
Shen Yanming had no choice but to go along with her. Watching her leave, his eyes involuntarily reddened.
Seeing his distraught appearance, Zhang Heping couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Hey Lao Shen, your wife just had a baby, why are you acting like this?"
Shen Yanming kicked away his crossed legs and cursed, "What do you know!"
Then I sat down next to him and didn't say anything.
Zhang Heping couldn't stand his dejected and lifeless appearance, so he shoved the suitcase into his hands and said, "Put it away first, we'll go to the delivery room door and wait for Qiao An."
Shen Yanming nodded, took it, placed it on the bedside table in the ward, closed the door, and left.
Of course, he removed the key from the door lock before leaving, otherwise it would be terrible if someone went in and rummaged around.
