Si Zhengting, the butler, and Ji Chen crowded around the stretcher and dashed out hurriedly.
Since the beginning!
He had never raised his head and taken a look at her.
Zhuang Nainai could only feel her heart wrench. A wave of bitterness started to overwhelm her.
After the ambulance outside departed, the living room suddenly became very silent. The housekeepers downstairs were still frozen in their spots with eyes widened in shock. Without the presence of the owner in the house, they were at a complete loss of what to do.
Each one of them raised their head and scrutinized Zhuang Nainai quietly.
With her big bump, she stood near the staircase alone. She supported her waist with one hand and her bump with the other. Her face was as white as paper; she looked like a child who had been forsaken by the entire world.
Due to the immense shock that Zhuang Nainai had received, her eyes were bloodshot.
The bitterness she felt attacked every cell in her body.
Taking in a deep breath, she told herself to not be upset and that Si Zhengting only behaved like that because he was very worried about Mother, that he actually trusted her fully.
However, big drops of tears still rolled down her cheeks. She tried to wipe her tears away with her hand, but the more she wiped her face, the more her tears flowed down.
At last, she decided to let her tears flow freely. She thought that she had gone through so much in just a day. As her sorrow overlapped, it formed an extremely suffocating feeling.
But she should not cry. She should not cry. Pregnant women cannot be overly depressed, lest their babies are affected.
She tried to control her tears by taking in a deep breath. Moments later, she suddenly froze. She seemed to have heard something — an abrupt sound of something breaking.
Zhuang Nainai was slightly taken aback. Before she knew it, she could feel a stream of warm liquid flowing down her legs.
As her bump was too big, she could not see her own clothes. However, she understood what was happening instantly.
Her water broke.
She was going into labor.
In that moment, she did not know where she had gotten the strength and rationality to walk downstairs with her worn-out body. She approached the housekeeper and said very calmly, “Dial 120, I’m going into labor.”
―
In the hospital’s delivery room.
The nurse said into Zhuang Nainai’s ear, “Push! Push!”
Biting her lip, Zhuang Nainai gave another push in pain.
Her hair was drenched in sweat and her fists were clenched tightly. Due to Mother Zhuang’s matter, she had not eaten much nor slept well last night. When she had woken up this morning, she had received so many blows continuously. Hence, she really could not muster any more energy right now.
Even her uterine contractions had become weak.
Zhuang Nainai bit her lip as she felt like she was losing consciousness.
However, she was still pushing tenaciously with every uterine contraction.
Nevertheless…
At some point, her energy had been used up. Slowly, she was losing hope. Her fists started to unclench as well.
Children… your mother is incapable. But I really have used up all my energy.
In that moment, she especially missed Si Zhengting. She missed his scent. She missed his kindness. When things had reached a dead end, she was really missing him…
Next to her, a newcomer asked, “Sister, this lady is obviously worn out. Why aren’t we doing C-section?”
Another person answered, “The baby has entered the birth canal already. It’s too late for her to go to the C-section operation room! The baby might suffocate!”
After saying this, she patted Zhuang Nainai’s cheeks forcefully, “Madam. Mommy, you need to stay awake. The baby is already in the birth canal. If you don’t push, the baby might be in danger!!”
