Before she fell, Gu Jingze already grabbed hold of her.
Lin Che could not care about anything else. She grabbed onto his waist. “I can’t. The baby’s coming out. I can feel it.”
However, the doctor and nurses ran out a long time ago and there was nobody else in the room.
Gu Jingze looked around and did not see anybody.
He shouted outside, “Somebody, get a doctor! Lin Che is giving birth!”
However, there was nobody outside.
Lin Che tugged him weakly and shook her head. “It’s okay. Put me down on the bed.”
Gu Jingze gritted his teeth and put her down on the bed.
She pulled the iron ring that was prepared on the bed, positioned her legs, and pushed hard.
“Ah…”
She shouted in pain, but the baby still could not come out.
Gu Jingze watched at the side. “This won’t do. I’ll get the doctor.”
Lin Che shook her head. “Don’t… Don’t leave me…”
At this point, she did not want to be left alone with a dead body.
Gu Jingze looked down at the body on the ground. He nodded and held her hand again.
Lin Che let out a breath and gritted her teeth. She said, “It’s just childbirth. I can do it. I don’t need any help.”
Gu Jingze could only continue holding her hand. Lin Che pushed hard as she shouted.
“Ah…”
She lifted her head and used all her strength.
After a while, she felt something rush out of her body.
“Gu Jingze, the baby. The baby is out.”
Gu Jingze was just concerned about other things. He looked at Lin Che and already forgot about everything else.
Hearing her scream, he quickly went to carry the baby.
The baby’s head had a bit of grey.
The body was covered with traces of blood.
Knowing that this was all Lin Che’s blood, it made him feel even worse.
He carried the warm baby who wailed. This was the first time he had ever experienced such a feeling.
Hearing Lin Che catch her breath as she laid back down, he felt a little overwhelmed. He could be a mighty emperor against thousands of horses and soldiers, but he really was at a loss when faced with a fragile baby.
Lin Che got up and said, “I need scissors to cut off the umbilical cord.”
Listening to Lin Che’s instruction, he immediately found a pair.
Although his head was a mess now, he was still Gu Jingze. His judgment was still there and his priming ability was still there. His natural sense of operation allowed him to quickly understand what he needed to do. His brain clicked fast and he deliberated. He knew what the things that had to be done now were.
He put the baby down and clipped the umbilical cord.
Lin Che continued using strength to squeeze out the remnants from her womb. Only then would the process be complete.
After that, she was completely weak. Gu Jingze hugged her in one arm and carried the baby in the other. She had completely forgotten about all the pain as she walked out of the labor ward.
However, not a single soul was in sight outside. The huge hospital suddenly seemed to have been completely emptied out.
Lin Che suddenly felt cold. She looked at Gu Jingze and asked, “Where is everyone?”
Gu Jingze said, “Something probably happened while I was inside. Don’t worry. We’ll find another place for you to rest.”
“Okay.”
With Gu Jingze around, Lin Che naturally was not worried. She was only fatigued now as she lost quite a lot of blood just now. Her body was still very weak. She walked carefully while Gu Jingze supported her. She did not know how long she could continue walking. Suddenly, someone jumped down from a broken window above.
Lin Che was alarmed. However, the person called out, “Miss.”
That pleasantly surprised tone brought a sense of familiarity to Lin Che.
Dong Zi found them.
She said, “Dong Zi, you’re here…”
Dong Zi quickly helped to support Lin Che. He led them to a safe ward.
After settling Lin Che, Dong Zi then explained the situation outside.
Some people took advantage of today’s events and suddenly barged into the hospital.
It was warfare in the hospital.
Gu Jingming already brought his men to lock down this area.
But some of the troublemakers already escaped in the chaos and their whereabouts were unknown.
Gu Jingze’s men definitely suffered some losses because they did not expect the opposition to suddenly infiltrate the area with guns. Gu Jingze’s bodyguards were also at a loss.
Gu Jingming made an immediate decision to evacuate everyone here. Then, a small team entered to survey the area and find the troublemakers. They looked through every house and left no room for error. Otherwise, the chaos would put Gu Jingze and Lin Che in danger.
Meanwhile, they began searching from the ground floor up.
As Dong Zi was worried about Lin Che and Gu Jingze, he searched every floor from the top down. Coincidentally, he saw them from the window on this floor and quickly broke in.
Lin Che endured the pain and asked weakly, “Did we lose… a lot of people?”
Dong Zi did not want to worry her, but since she already asked, he could not lie. “Some of them at the entrance. They seemed to have perished with the enemy. Thankfully, because of their protection, Miss and Sir are fine.”
Lin Che sighed and closed her eyes. Who could be so cruel in the dark?
Gu Jingze remained silent as he looked outside.
His side profile was like a proud plum in the winter, cool but standing proudly alone. There was a hint of stubbornness beneath the bitter frost.
Gu Jingze said, “Big Brother wanted to search and make them run for their lives and lose their intention to kill us. And these people saw that their drug plan failed as I unfoiled it. They decided to be ruthless and prepared for both scenarios. One was to kill our baby with drugs, and the other was to kill us together.”
Lin Che asked, “Why do people want me dead so badly?”
“Because we have access to too many benefits. Alright, Lin Che. Let’s not think about these things first. Wait a while and let Dong Zi get help. Since they failed in killing us, they won’t make a move again. We’ll be okay.”
Lin Che held Gu Jingze’s hand and saw that his arm was still bleeding.
“Gu Jingze, you…”
Gu Jingze looked down, smiled, and shook his head. He looked at his daughter and then at Lin Che. “Silly, I’m fine. I still can carry you and our daughter.”
That’s right. Their daughter…
Lin Che looked down at the fragile infant and a surge of emotions filled her. Such a cute baby.
He lowered his head and caressed the baby. She let out a bright cry that was not demure at all. She was like a little warrior princess.
Gu Jingze asked, “What should we name her?”
“What do you think?”
“Gu Shiyuan. She is my wish. I wish that from this day onwards, neither you nor she will ever come in harm’s way.”
Lin Che smiled and held onto him. “Okay, we’ll go with that.”
