Chapter 67 Preparation for Production
The sun in the sky was like a golden ball whose edges had been worn down by the years, and it was slowly sinking towards the horizon. The afterglow dyed the clouds in the sky a gorgeous orange-red color. It should have been a peaceful and beautiful picture, but the atmosphere in the car was so tense that it was suffocating.
Lu Tingxiao sat in the back seat of the car, holding Jiang Ruoxi's hands tightly. His hands were large and warm, but at this moment they were trembling slightly with worry.
Lu Tingxiao was extremely anxious and kept urging Wang Zhendong, "Drive faster, faster!" His voice was filled with an urgency and panic that was rarely seen in normal times.
Aunt Lan was sitting in the passenger seat, looking back again and again, her eyes full of worry, and she kept saying, "Ruoxi, hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon!"
Jiang Ruoxi's face was as pale as paper. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, wetting her hair. She bit her lower lip tightly and nodded weakly. Every breath she took was accompanied by hidden pain.
"Wife, don't be afraid. We'll be at the hospital soon. Just hold on." Lu Tingxiao's deep voice kept ringing in Jiang Ruoxi's ears, like a ray of light in the darkness, giving her strength.
With his other hand, he gently stroked Jiang Ruoxi's forehead, trying to dispel her pain. The scenery outside the car window flashed by like a slide show, but Lu Tingxiao had no intention of appreciating it. All his thoughts were on Jiang Ruoxi beside him.
Finally, the hospital building appeared in front of him. Lu Tingxiao waited for the car to stop, opened the door, and carefully held Jiang Ruoxi in his arms.
He hurried towards the hospital gate, shouting loudly: "Doctor, doctor, my wife is about to give birth!" The voice echoed in the hospital lobby, breaking the tranquility of the evening.
The nurse and doctor on duty heard the cry and quickly came over with a stretcher. They transferred Jiang Ruoxi onto the stretcher and quickly moved towards the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Lu Tingxiao followed closely behind, his eyes full of tension and concern, sweat dripping down his forehead and onto the cold floor of the hospital.
In the examination room, Jiang Ruoxi was lying on the examination bed, her face pale, her hair soaked with sweat and sticking tightly to her cheeks. Her hands subconsciously grabbed the sheets beneath her, and every time a contraction came, she couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The doctor looked focused and finished the examination skillfully. He raised his head and said in a calm but professional tone: "The mother is now three fingers dilated. There is still some time before delivery. The pain is mainly caused by uterine contractions. This is a normal parturition process. Don't worry too much."
Hearing this, Lu Tingxiao, who had been standing by with a frown on his face, relaxed a little, but the worry in his eyes remained.
After the examination, the doctor arranged for a nurse to transfer Jiang Ruoxi to the ward. The ward was bustling with people, and the noisy noise made the already tired Jiang Ruoxi even more uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Lu Tingxiao immediately caught up with the doctor, and said in a sincere and anxious tone, "Doctor, my wife is pregnant with triplets. Her situation is rather special. It's not very convenient for her to rest or take care of herself in the same ward with other pregnant women. Can you help arrange a single room for her?"
The doctor paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'll go ask for you. If there's a vacant single room, I'll definitely give you priority." Lu Tingxiao hurriedly thanked him, his eyes full of gratitude.
At this moment, the doctor remembered something and turned around to instruct, "Before the delivery officially starts, the family members should quickly buy some high-calorie, easily digestible food for the mother to replenish her energy. Delivery is a physical job. I'll come back later to check on her condition and when she can give birth!" Lu Tingxiao nodded repeatedly, not daring to delay for even a second. He told Aunt Lan to keep an eye on Jiang Ruoxi, then turned around and hurried out of the hospital to buy Jiang Ruoxi her favorite food.
Jiang Ruoxi was lying in the hospital ward. When the contractions subsided, she looked around. It was a slightly crowded four-person room, and the smell of disinfectant filled the air.
The bed she was staying in was right next to the door, and the noise of people coming and going kept coming in, making her, who was already feeling uncomfortable, even more irritated. The two beds next to me were empty, and the white sheets were smooth without a wrinkle.
Bed 4 by the window had a new baby boy this morning. The loud cries of the little guy occasionally broke the tranquility of the ward. The woman in bed 3 had just given birth to a baby girl last night. She was now whispering to her family, her face filled with the joy of being a new mother.
Jiang Ruoxi clutched the bed sheets tightly, her nails turning white. Every contraction was like a surging tide, hitting her wave after wave, causing so much pain that beads of sweat rolled down her forehead and her breathing became rapid and heavy. Her lips turned slightly white from biting them so hard, her brows were tightly knitted together, and her whole body was tortured by pain.
Just when Jiang Ruoxi felt that she was about to be drowned by the endless pain, an ethereal voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Master, add spiritual spring water to the water. Drinking a little will relieve your pain and make the delivery smoother."
Jiang Ruoxi was startled, and then she remembered as if she had just woken up from a dream that she had another space. Since she became pregnant, she was afraid that the space would be exposed because Aunt Chen and Aunt Lan were at home, so she never entered the space. These days, she was overwhelmed by the various conditions of pregnancy and the tension of the upcoming delivery, and almost forgot about this space that contained infinite possibilities.
She endured the pain and quickly checked the space in her mind. The spiritual spring water is crystal clear, and sparkles with lively light in the dim light. Every drop contains endless vitality and power.
Jiang Ruoxi was lying on the hospital bed, her brows furrowed, her eyes constantly looking around vigilantly. People were coming and going in the ward, nurses were walking around, and the conversations of the woman in labor in the next bed and her family members were heard one after another. Every movement made her heart tense.
Her hands were tightly clenched on the corner of the quilt. Her mind was not at all on this noisy environment. Her mind was full of one thing: how to smuggle the spiritual spring water into the cup.
This spiritual spring water is her life-saving straw. It can not only relieve the pain of uterine contractions, but also assist in childbirth. However, if it is discovered by others, it will definitely cause big trouble.
Just as she was racking her brains and had no clue, the familiar and ethereal voice of the space elf suddenly rang in her mind: "Master, there is no need to be so embarrassed. You just need to take the opportunity to drink water and transfer the spiritual spring water to the cup, and then drink it. The effect is the same as drinking it directly."
Jiang Ruoxi was stunned at first, then a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her caution. She slightly turned sideways and glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to her. Then she silently responded in her heart: "Is this really feasible? No one will find out, right?" The space elf seemed to sense her worry and said in a firm tone: "Don't worry, Master. This process is silent and others won't notice it."
Jiang Ruoxi took a deep breath, calmed her nervous mood, and decided to do as the space elf said. She just hoped that the spiritual spring water could take effect quickly and help her get through this difficult time.
"Aunt Lan, I want to drink some water!" Hearing that Jiang Ruoxi wanted to drink some water, Aunt Lan quickly opened the thermos cup and handed it to Jiang Ruoxi's lips. While Jiang Ruoxi was drinking, she transferred the spiritual spring water into the thermos cup. With a nervous and expectant mood, Jiang Ruoxi slowly brought the cup of warm water mixed with the spiritual spring water to her lips and took a sip.
In an instant, a wonderful warm current slid down her throat and flowed straight into her abdomen. The pain of contractions, which had been like a surging tide, and which had almost made her collapse, was miraculously alleviated a lot. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.
After feeling the magical effect of the spiritual spring water, Jiang Ruoxi did not dare to delay for a moment. She looked around vigilantly, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly used her consciousness to drive the spiritual spring water in the space. She saw her hand move slightly at her side, and the thermos cup was instantly filled with the clear and pure spiritual spring water that sparkled with a mysterious glow.
She carefully put the thermos away, thinking that the spiritual spring water would definitely help her when she gave birth.
At the same time, Lu Tingxiao hurried back to the ward, carrying food in his hands. The food was still steaming, and the aroma instantly filled the ward.
"Wife, eat something quickly to replenish your energy!" Lu Tingxiao's voice was full of concern. He placed the food on the small table beside him and helped Jiang Ruoxi to sit up slowly.
While Jiang Ruoxi was eating, Lu Tingxiao looked at the noisy environment around the ward, and his brows unconsciously wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character.
He was really worried about Jiang Ruoxi lying in this crowded ward after giving birth, so he took advantage of Jiang Ruoxi's meal break and hurried to the doctor's office again.
Lu Tingxiao arrived at the doctor's office. Before he could say anything, the doctor seemed to have a telepathic connection with him and took the initiative to say, "You came at the right time. A single room has just been vacated. I was thinking of telling you when I examine the pregnant woman later, but I didn't expect you to come here first!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Tingxiao's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and he quickly said, "Thank you so much, doctor! This is great!" The doctor smiled and nodded, waved his hand and said, "You go back to accompany the mother first, I'll find a nurse and change your room later!" Lu Tingxiao thanked him repeatedly, then turned around with peace of mind and walked quickly towards the ward, eager to tell Jiang Ruoxi the good news.
