Thinking of this, Tan Zhengchu quickly stood up, picked up the delivery bag that had been prepared long ago, and ordered the servant: "Hurry, get everything ready, we'll go to the hospital right away!" At the same time, he carefully helped Su Yingxue get out of bed and helped her change into clean clothes.
Su Yingxue's face was pale and her body was trembling slightly. Tan Zhengchu felt distressed and patted her back gently: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, everything will be fine."
The servant followed behind with the delivery bag. Tan Zhengchu carefully picked up Su Yingxue and strode towards the door.
The car was already waiting at the door. Tan Zhengchu held Su Yingxue in his arms and got into the car. The driver quickly started the car and drove towards Li's private hospital.
Li's Hospital is the top medical institution under the Tan family. Su Yingxue had been examined here during her pregnancy, and this was also where she gave birth. As soon as the car arrived at the hospital gate, doctors and nurses were already waiting at the gate. It was obvious that the Tan family had notified the hospital in advance.
Tan Zhengchu carried Su Yingxue out of the car and carefully placed her on the gurney. The nurse quickly covered Su Yingxue with a blanket and pushed her towards the emergency room. Tan Zhengchu followed closely behind, his expression tense and his eyes full of worry.
Su Yingxue was pushed into the examination room, and Tan Zhengchu was stopped outside the door. He stood at the door, his hands clenched tightly, his eyes full of anxiety, and looked in the direction of the examination room from time to time.
At this moment, Tan Zhengmo hurried down from upstairs. He was Tan Zhengchu's younger brother, and when he heard that his sister-in-law was about to give birth, he immediately rushed to check. He saw Tan Zhengchu standing at the door with a nervous look, so he walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, mom has also given birth, a little brother, everyone is doing well."
When Tan Zhengchu heard that his mother was safe, his expression eased a little and he nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, Momo."
Tan Zhengmo smiled and said, "Brother, don't be too nervous. Sister-in-law will be fine."
At this time, the door of the examination room opened and Su Yingxue was pushed out. Her face was pale, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her expression was painful. Tan Zhengchu immediately went up to her and nervously grabbed the doctor's hand: "Doctor, what's the situation?"
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a steady tone: "Miss Su is already two fingers dilated, but she doesn't need to go to the delivery room yet. Go back to the ward and rest until the contractions become more frequent."
Tan Zhengchu breathed a sigh of relief, but was still worried: "Doctor, can we do a caesarean section directly? This is safer."
Su Yingxue held his hand tightly, her voice weak but firm: "I want a natural birth, the baby will be healthier."
Tan Zhengchu looked at her distressedly, his eyes full of worry: "Yingxue, are you sure?"
Su Yingxue nodded and smiled slightly: "I'm fine, believe me."
Tan Zhengchu was silent for a while, but finally respected her choice: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The ward was warm and quiet, with all the necessary equipment, including ultrasound machine, delivery bed, and various monitoring instruments. Su Yingxue was placed on the bed, and the nurse connected her to the fetal heart monitor. Soon, the baby's strong heartbeat could be heard in the ward.
Su Yingxue leaned on the bed, her body slightly curled up, with a trace of pain on her face, but her eyes were full of determination. Tan Zhengchu sat beside the bed, gently holding her hand, his eyes gentle but firm: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."
Su Yingxue smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Zhengchu, I'm fine, just a little painful."
Tan Zhengchu kissed her forehead gently: "I know you are the bravest. When the baby is born, I will take you to eat your favorite hot pot."
Su Yingxue nodded, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
The ward was filled with a tense atmosphere. Su Yingxue was lying on the bed, her body trembling slightly due to the pain. She bit her lip and tried to endure it, but tears still slid down unconsciously. The doctor stood by the bed, carefully observing the data on the fetal heart monitor, with a serious expression.
"Miss Su, your cervix is not fully open yet. It will take some time before you can give birth." The doctor turned around and said softly but firmly, "The most important thing now is to reserve your energy. I suggest giving her something to eat."
Tan Zhengchu had been holding Su Yingxue's hand tightly. Hearing the doctor's words, he immediately stood up and said to the servant guarding the door: "Go get some porridge, egg custard, and her favorite dessert."
The servant quickly brought the food and carefully placed it on the bedside table. Tan Zhengchu asked softly, "Yingxue, what do you want to eat?"
Su Yingxue lay on her side, with the fetal heart rate monitoring device wrapped around her belly, which looked particularly heavy. She shook her head and said in a weak but firm voice: "I can't eat, Zhengchu, I'm in so much pain..."
Tan Zhengchu's heart was tugged hard. He kissed the back of her hand gently, his eyes full of heartache: "I know, just bear with it, it will be fine soon."
He looked at Su Yingxue's painful expression, his heart full of self-blame and regret: "It's all my fault. I made you suffer so much..."
Su Yingxue's pain suddenly intensified. She couldn't help but scream, tears welling up in an instant: "Zhengchu, it hurts so much..."
Tan Zhengchu's heart was broken. He gently kissed her forehead and eyes, and said in a low voice: "How about... we listen to the doctor and do a caesarean section directly. This way you don't have to suffer so much."
When Su Yingxue heard the word "caesarean section", her tears flowed even more fiercely. She cried and accused: "Have you been wanting me to give up natural childbirth for a long time? Do you think I am making things difficult for you by insisting on natural childbirth?"
Tan Zhengchu was startled by her words, and quickly half-huggled her in his arms, gently comforting her: "No, Yingxue, I just feel sorry for you..."
Su Yingxue cried even harder: "I insisted on a natural birth for the sake of the baby and to avoid leaving scars. I have managed to hold on until now, but you want me to give up?"
Tan Zhengchu looked at her crying and felt helpless. He said softly, "Okay, I won't mention it. I just don't want you to suffer so much..."
He hugged her tightly, but found that he could not share any of her pain.
Su Yingxue leaned in Tan Zhengchu's arms, smelling the familiar scent on him, and gradually felt more confident. She took a deep breath, wiped her tears, and whispered, "Zhengchu, I'm fine, I can hold on."
She gritted her teeth and endured the pain. The sweat on her forehead became more and more dense, and her body was soaked. After her water broke, she could only lie in bed and could not walk, but even so, she was still trying to hold on.
"I must give birth naturally, for the sake of the child and myself." Su Yingxue silently encouraged herself in her heart, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
Tan Zhengchu looked at her with a look of heartache and admiration in his eyes. He gently held her hand and whispered, "Yingxue, you are the strongest. I will always be with you."
In the ward, time seemed to be extraordinarily long, but Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue relied on and supported each other during this difficult test.
