"Wife, I can finish the filming tonight." Gu Zian in the video is wearing a full set of makeup, and the background is the crew's dressing room.
"Okay, got it. I'll wait for you to come back." Xia Zhitang looked at his watch and it was almost time for the meeting.
"I have a meeting at nine o'clock. It's cold there, so remember to put on some hot packs so you don't get frozen." Xia Zhitang stood up, holding his waist.
"Wife, wait for me, don't be too tired." Gu Zian also started calling him, and the scene became chaotic.
The two hung up the phone in a hurry, and Lin Jingming came over to her to help her hold the tablet.
"You're about to give birth, why don't you take some rest?" He nags Xia Zhitang while helping her open the door. "Have you prepared your delivery bag and other things?"
"One copy in the car, one copy in the office, and I carry my ID with me." Xia Zhitang walked slowly, holding his stomach. "I'm in good shape. I was bored at home, so I just came to work."
"Well, you are a workaholic." Lin Jingming complained, but his tone was very gentle.
"Same here." Xia Zhitang retorted.
While the projector was playing the slides, Xia Zhitang was about to stand up and say something when he felt a "pop" in his stomach, like a water balloon bursting.
Lin Jingming was the first to notice something was wrong: "What's wrong?"
"My water broke." Xia Zhitang covered her stomach and slowly sat down.
The conference room suddenly became chaotic. Some employees shouted for an ambulance, while others were already panicking before their brains could react.
The sound like flies buzzing around made Lin Jingming feel upset: "Quiet!"
As his roar was about to begin, it was as if it had been muted by the touch of a button.
"Xiao Wu, go to her office to get the delivery bag and her handbag for today and put them in my car. The car keys are on my office desk. You two go to the studio and push the pull-out bed over. The rest of you ask the administration to notify the family members." Lin Jingming gave out instructions in an orderly manner. No one dared to speak and ran to carry them out one by one.
After sending all the noisy people away, he helped Xia Zhitang slowly walk to the sofa and let her lie down.
His expression was somewhat serious, and the fingertips around Xia Zhitang's shoulders were a little cold.
"I'll drive you to the hospital." Lin Jingming could hear his own restless heartbeat, but he still prioritized comforting Xia Zhitang, who was a little confused and unresponsive.
"Well, let's go to Jiajia's hospital." Xia Zhitang subconsciously grabbed the corner of Lin Jingming's clothes tightly in his palm, "It's okay, Teacher Ye also went through that time."
She whispered, not knowing whether she was comforting herself or Lin Jingming.
Lin Jingming took a deep breath and held her hand: "Yeah, it's okay."
The rolling bed with rollers that was purchased last month is already in place, and the things to be taken to the hospital have been placed in Lin Jingming's car.
After Lin Jingming helped Xia Zhitang into the car, he looked at Xia Zhitang's pants wet with transparent amniotic fluid, and his heart trembled again.
He thought about it and decided to stay in the back row with Xia Zhitang, who was lying flat on his back.
On the way to the hospital, Xia Zhitang screamed, which scared Lin Jingming.
"What's wrong?" He subconsciously interlocked his fingers with Xia Zhitang.
"The contractions are starting." Xia Zhitang's breathing became rapid and his voice began to tremble with pain.
Lin Jingming felt his mind was in the air, his body subconsciously commanding: "Lamaze breathing method, I'll shout the command, you follow it."
Xia Zhitang tried several times, shaking his head and crying, "It's no use, it still hurts."
Lin Jingming looked at the fine beads of sweat on her forehead and the blue veins on the back of her hands from gripping so tightly, and his heart ached.
"Come on, bite me if it really hurts." He put his free hand to Xia Zhitang's mouth.
"Sister Xia, please bear with it, we'll be there soon." The young man driving the front seat was infected by the tense atmosphere.
"What the hell are you trying to endure? Just try getting punched in the stomach repeatedly!" Xia Zhitang was so angry that he almost jumped up.
"Drive carefully and don't cause trouble!" Lin Jingming glared at him, and the young man shuddered subconsciously.
"If it hurts, bite me. I have thick skin and am not afraid of pain." He turned around and switched back to a gentle tone, whispering to coax Xia Zhitang who was groaning in pain.
"Why didn't anyone tell me that giving birth would be so painful!" Xia Zhitang felt uncomfortable all over and even had explosive sounds.
Lin Jingming almost blurted out: No more children, let’s not have children.
Then he thought, no, this is not his child...
After a quick thought, I changed the subject to: "We have pain relief and a music guide. Let's just go to the hospital!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Sister Xia, we are at the hospital entrance!" The young man driving the car turned and parked it at the hospital entrance.
Lin Jingming wanted to go downstairs to inform the hospital staff to get a stretcher, but Xia Zhitang held his hand tightly and refused to let go, looking at him with a pleading look.
"Go to the front desk and explain the situation." Lin Jingming had no choice but to direct the young man who was still in a daze in the driver's seat to get busy.
In the chaos, a rolling bed and a doctor were pushed over.
Lin Jingming helped carry Xia Zhitang onto the hospital's rolling bed, and Wang Jiajia also hurried over.
"Tangzi is fine." Wang Jiajia comforted Xia Zhitang while pushing her. "We're at the hospital. Don't be afraid."
"Jia Jia, why is giving birth so painful!" Xia Zhitang's voice was a little hoarse.
"Just start the painkiller when it's two fingers dilated. It will be fine once it's started. It will be fine once it's started." Wang Jiajia herself had no experience and could only comfort her based on what she had learned.
Lin Jingming hurried over carrying Xia Zhitang's luggage: "Straight to the operating room?"
"Go to the delivery room first to assess the situation, and someone will take you to complete the formalities later."
Amidst the chaos, Xia Zhitang entered the delivery area.
Lin Jingming was running around and sweating. Xia Zhitang's cell phone fell into Lin Jingming's pocket, and calls from Gu's father and Chen's mother came one after another.
While going through the formalities, he held the phone and explained the current situation.
Everyone was on their way here, but unfortunately there was an accident on the road they had to pass through, and they were stuck in the road and unable to move.
Just when everyone was comforted, Gu Zian called and asked to come back, and there was chaos on the other end of the line.
Lin Jingming was so angry that his head hurt: "Why don't you just finish filming properly and come back to get scolded by your wife!"
The voice was a little loud, and everyone in the hall turned to look at him.
The staff wanted to speak up to stop him, but Lin Jingming's face was frighteningly gloomy, and standing next to him was someone familiar to the hospital staff. Everyone looked at each other and remained silent.
Lin Jingming hung up the phone angrily, but then he felt a little worried, so he picked up his phone and left a message for Gu Zian, telling him to focus on filming and not to worry since everyone was here.
When he finally returned to the obstetrics area, Xia Zhitang had already been pushed into the delivery room.
After Lin Jingming changed his clothes and walked into the VIP area, he was startled by Xia Zhitang's howling.
"What's wrong with Xia Xia?" Lin Jingming hurried to the bedside and asked Wang Jiajia who was holding Xia Zhitang's hand and wiping her sweat.
"Lin Jingming, you lied to me!" Xia Zhitang was about to cry, "The painkiller doesn't work at all!"
Wang Jiajia wiped her sweat while explaining, "There's a certain chance you'll be insensitive to painlessness."
She pointed to the pain-free dosage button beside the bed: "It's already turned to the maximum. It's not working."
Lin Jingming frowned, pointed at the nurse squatting in front of the bed and comforting Xia Zhitang, and asked with his mouth if Wang Jiajia was a doula.
Wang Jiajia nodded, and the two of them sighed silently, looking at Xia Zhitang who couldn't help but scream in pain.
"Save some strength, or you won't have the energy to give birth later!" The doctor pushed the door open to examine me. "You're only three fingers dilated now, save some strength for the rest of the labor."
"I don't want to give birth myself. Do a Caesarean section, deliver it for me!" Xia Zhitang shouted while slapping the bed.
The doctor frowned, and changed his words because this was a VIP room.
"If you can give birth naturally, I still recommend giving birth yourself. A caesarean section is a major surgery and will prolong your recovery time."
As a medical practitioner, Wang Jiajia knew that the doctor was telling the truth.
"Tangzi, the aftermath after the cesarean section will be very troublesome."
Xia Zhitang collapsed. She felt as if she was thrown onto a hot fire and doused with hot oil, sizzling and roasting. The pain was so numb that she could not isolate herself from it. It penetrated into her bones, with no end and no hope.
Lin Jingming looked at Xia Zhitang, who couldn't hold back her tears, and sighed, "Let's get through this first."
"Sign for me quickly!" Xia Zhitang just wanted to end the torment in front of him quickly.
When the family members were signing, Lin Jingming stopped Wang Jiajia.
"Let me do it. She was the one who signed for me when I needed emergency treatment last time." Lin Jingming understood Xia Zhitang's torment at the time.
The two sat silently on the chairs at the door of the operating room. Lin Jingming was not in the mood to deal with the people from the Gu family. After handing the job to Wang Jiajia, he stared at the door of the operating room sadly.
The first group to arrive were the parents of Xia Zhitang's deceased husband. They brought two nannies who had been on standby at home for more than a month and hurriedly went to the ward to set up the facilities under the guidance of Wang Jiajia.
After a while, Gu's father also arrived, and a group of people were waiting in front of the ward.
Lin Jingming really had no desire to speak. Wang Jiajia looked at Lin Jingming, who was like a sculpture, sighed, and resigned herself to dealing with everyone.
He waited there foolishly, and time became slow and unbearable before his eyes.
His eyes were fixed on the door of the operating room, hoping that Xia Zhitang would come out soon, but also afraid that the doctor had brought some bad news.
I just endured the struggle until one day the door of the operating room slowly opened.
The doctor came out pushing a baby stroller: "Xia Zhitang's family!"
"Here!" A group of people rushed over.
"Congratulations, it's a daughter."
Lin Jingming's faith was stirred, and he felt that his long-cherished wish of having a daughter like Xia Zhitang had come true.
However, the next second, he recalled Xia Zhitang's painful expression in the delivery room and couldn't help but feel worried again.
He didn't want Xia Zhitang to endure such pain again, nor did he want Xia Zhitang's daughter to endure it.
