The atmosphere in the ward became increasingly tense.
Tan Zhengchu sat beside Su Yingxue's bed, staring at her closely. Her face was getting paler and paler, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her lips were bitten white. Tan Zhengchu's heart sank suddenly, and he pressed the call bell at the bedside.
"Doctor, nurse, come in quickly!" His voice was a little hurried.
With a burst of hurried footsteps, the doctor and the nurse quickly pushed the door open. The attending doctor walked quickly to the bedside, picked up the fetal heart monitor, and listened carefully to the fetal heartbeat. Then, he whispered to Su Yingxue, "Miss Su, I need to do an internal examination. It may be a little uncomfortable. Please bear with me."
Su Yingxue nodded slightly, closed her eyes, and tried to relax herself. However, as the doctor moved, waves of pain came from her body. She couldn't help but frown slightly, occasionally uttering a few painful moans.
Tan Zhengchu's face became darker and darker, his eyes full of anxiety and worry. He held Su Yingxue's hand tightly, as if this could give her some strength. However, seeing her painful appearance, he couldn't help but question the medical staff: "How long will she be in pain? Can't you find a way to relieve her pain?"
The attending doctor raised his head and said calmly but firmly, "Mr. Tan, this is a normal process for women to give birth. The pain of uterine contractions is inevitable, but please rest assured that we will do our best to help her."
After the internal examination, Su Yingxue's condition suddenly worsened. Her body trembled slightly, the pain intensified, and she even began to cry. Tan Zhengchu's heart sank suddenly, and he saw blood oozing from Su Yingxue's body. The servants quickly put toilet paper under her, but it was soon soaked with blood.
"Doctor, what's wrong with her?" Tan Zhengchu's voice trembled slightly.
Tan Zhengchu grabbed his hair, his eyes full of disbelief. He quickly walked to the doctor, grabbed his collar, and said in a low and angry voice: "Stop the bleeding! You must stop the bleeding immediately!"
The doctor struggled to break free from his hand and said calmly, "Mr. Tan, bleeding during childbirth is normal. As long as the uterine contractions are normal and the fetus is normal, there is no need to worry. You can't help here, so why not wait outside."
Tan Zhengchu let go of the doctor's collar, his eyes full of fear and helplessness. He took a deep breath and whispered, "From now on, I will never let her have a baby again."
At this moment, Su Yingxue suddenly screamed, her voice full of pain. Tan Zhengchu immediately rushed to her side and held her hand tightly: "Yingxue, I'm here, don't be afraid."
He kissed the back of her hand gently, tears in his eyes: "Yingxue, I am sorry for you. I promise you that I will treat you well unconditionally in the future and make up for all my debts."
Su Yingxue almost lost consciousness from the pain, but seeing Tan Zhengchu's tears, she still managed a bitter smile: "Zhengchu, go out and wait, don't scare the baby here."
Her voice was weak, but with a hint of teasing: "I'm afraid that you won't dare to touch me when you see me like this in the future."
Tan Zhengchu was amused by her words, then he chuckled softly, his eyes full of heartache: "Silly, how could I have a psychological shadow?"
He gently held her hand and said firmly, "I will always be with you and never leave you. No matter how painful it is, I will always be by your side."
Su Yingxue nodded slightly, with a glimmer of relief in her eyes. She knew that as long as Tan Zhengchu was there, she had nothing to fear.
So, Su Yingxue lay peacefully on the bed. Although this was her second child, the first was a caesarean section, so the birth process was not smooth. Her breathing was rapid and her body was trembling slightly due to contractions. Tan Zhengchu sat by the bed, holding her hand tightly, his eyes full of heartache and worry.
"Yingxue, you are the strongest. I will always be with you." His voice was low and firm, trying to give her emotional support.
Time passed by, and the contractions became more and more frequent. The medical staff closely observed Su Yingxue's condition. Four hours later, the doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief: "The cervix has dilated to six fingers. I will give her an injection of pain-free medicine to relieve some of the pain."
Su Yingxue nodded slightly, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes. After the painless injection, her expression eased a little, but she still held Tan Zhengchu's hand tightly.
More than an hour later, the doctor checked again and announced: "The cervix is fully dilated, Miss Su, now you need to push hard to deliver the baby."
Medical staff quickly arrived and began to instruct Su Yingxue on how to push. Every time a contraction came, Su Yingxue tried her best, her forehead was covered with sweat, and she looked exhausted. Tan Zhengchu stood by the bed and kept cheering her up: "Yingxue, you are the best, hold on a little longer, the baby will be out soon."
Su Yingxue raised her head slightly, with a tired but determined look in her eyes: "Zhengchu, I'm so tired..."
Tan Zhengchu kissed her forehead gently and whispered, "I know, but you've done a good job. Just hold on a little longer, and the baby will come out."
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. The only sounds in the ward were Su Yingxue's heavy breathing and the gentle instructions of the medical staff. Twenty minutes later, a crisp cry broke the condensed atmosphere, and the baby was finally delivered successfully.
Tan Zhengchu's tears instantly fell. He gently kissed Su Yingxue's forehead, his voice choking with sobs: "Yingxue, you are great. The baby is born."
He did not go to see the child immediately, but continued to pay attention to Su Yingxue's condition, his eyes full of heartache and gratitude: "You have worked hard, I really didn't know you were so amazing."
Although Su Yingxue was exhausted, she still showed a relieved smile on her face: "Boy or girl?"
Tan Zhengchu smiled slightly: "Wait a moment, let me check on you first. You take a rest first, and I'll go hold the baby."
Su Yingxue shook her head gently, her voice weak but firm: "No, go see the child first, I'm fine."
The doctor came to Tan Zhengchu with the baby in his arms and said with a smile, "Mr. Tan, congratulations on having another baby. Would you like to cut the baby's umbilical cord yourself?"
Tan Zhengchu was stunned for a moment, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He had never had such an experience before, and was even a little worried that he was not a doctor and could not do it well. But looking at the doctor's encouraging eyes, he nodded: "Okay, I'll try."
The doctor handed him the scissors and patiently taught him how to operate it.
Tan Zhengchu carefully took the scissors and, following the medical staff's instructions, successfully cut the baby's umbilical cord.
At this moment, a strange feeling arose in his heart.
He had not been able to see the births of his seven previous children for various reasons, which had always been a regret in his heart.
