Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 223 - 222: Sheng Zexi: "Doctor, Save the Mother, No Matter What, Save the Mother!
That’s right, the visitor is Yao Chunhua.
Originally, she wouldn’t have come so early, but because the train arrived earlier than expected, she got here ahead of schedule.
She didn’t know why, but as soon as she got off the train, her heart started beating very fast.
She just wanted to come over as soon as possible.
So, once she got off the train, she went straight to the Northwest Military Region, registered, and was guided in by a young soldier.
When the soldier heard she was Gu Jia Ning’s mother, his eyes were immediately filled with respect.
She is, after all, Doctor Gu’s mother.
"You’re Aunt Yao, right? Doctor Gu had told us before that her mother would be coming around this time and asked us to pay more attention."
"Aunt Yao, you brought so many things; let me get someone to help you carry them inside."
The young soldiers were very enthusiastic.
Not only did they help Yao Chunhua carry her large and small luggage, but they also warmly led her to the family residence and pointed out the door before leaving.
"Am I here a bit early?" Yao Chunhua asked as she walked inside with her belongings.
"No, you’ve come at the perfect time; Ningning is about to give birth."
"What, Ningning is about to give birth?!" Yao Chunhua was so shocked that she dropped her things.
She immediately ran toward the master bedroom.
Sheng Zexi and Gu Jia Ning did hear the commotion outside, but they didn’t have the energy to focus on it.
Gu Jia Ning was being supported by Sheng Zexi as she paced around the room.
Until a familiar call echoed from behind.
"Daughter, Ningning..."
Gu Jia Ning froze for a moment then slowly turned around, and saw the familiar person standing at the door.
Gu Jia Ning’s eyes widened, and soon her eyes brimmed with tears.
"Mother..."
"Hey." Yao Chunhua hurriedly stepped in, looked at Gu Jia Ning with eyes full of affection.
Upon seeing Gu Jia Ning’s relatively rosy complexion, she sighed with relief, but her heart skipped again at the sight of her rounded belly.
She knew her daughter was carrying twins.
Logically, she would be thrilled to have two grandchildren at once.
But as a mother, the first concern is her daughter’s safety.
With more babies in the womb, the difficulty of childbirth increases.
And for a woman, childbirth is like passing through the gates of hell.
How could Yao Chunhua not worry?
Gu Jia Ning immediately noticed her mother’s concern and managed a smile, "Mother, I’m fine."
Hearing this, Yao Chunhua almost cried.
Having given birth herself, she knew all too well what "fine" meant.
But Yao Chunhua dared not say too much at the moment.
Upon hearing that Grandma Sang was going to make food for Gu Jia Ning, she quickly wiped her eyes and headed out, "I’ll go make it."
Her daughter hadn’t tasted her cooking in so long.
So, when Yao Chunhua reached the kitchen and spoke to Grandma Sang about making food for Gu Jia Ning,
Grandma Sang immediately agreed.
"These days, Ning girl has been talking about your cooking."
Yao Chunhua was quick and efficient, and with the kitchen fully stocked, she quickly prepared a bowl of noodle soup once Grandma Sang got the fire started.
The soup included not only vegetables and meat but also a poached egg, with some homemade pickles in the broth.
Pickled noodle soup was one of Yao Chunhua’s signature dishes.
After the contraction subsided, Gu Jia Ning felt slightly better and with Sheng Zexi’s help, started eating the noodles.
As the familiar taste entered her mouth, her eyes filled with tears.
Ten minutes later, Gu Jia Ning finished the entire bowl of noodles.
By this time, the next contraction was about to begin.
Meanwhile, the system reminded them that Gu Jia Ning was about to give birth.
"Mother, Grandma, Brother Xi, let’s go to the hospital." Gu Jia Ning said.
"Okay."
Amber knew that Gu Jia Ning was about to give birth and wanted to go along, but Sheng Zexi asked her to look after the house, so Amber could only stay behind.
She prayed for Gu Jia Ning to have a smooth delivery and waited for her and the babies to return.
Gu Jia Ning was escorted to the hospital; it was the time when everyone was getting up and busy, so quite a few people found out.
"Doctor Gu is about to give birth?"
"Hopefully Doctor Gu can deliver the babies smoothly."
Now, Gu Jia Ning was well-known in the Northwest Military Region, so naturally, everyone wished her well.
Gu Jia Ning was taken straight to the obstetrics ward.
The person responsible for delivering her babies was Doctor Hao.
"Doctor Hao, I think I’m about to give birth..." upon meeting him, Gu Jia Ning spoke.
"About to give birth? Alright, then quickly get into the delivery room." Normally, Doctor Hao would conduct another examination on Gu Jia Ning.
But Gu Jia Ning was also a doctor.
And with her expertise, she definitely understood her own body best.
So Doctor Hao didn’t hesitate and immediately sent Gu Jia Ning into the delivery room. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
As for Sheng Zexi, Grandma Sang, and Yao Chunhua, they naturally waited outside.
"Ningning, don’t be afraid, mother is waiting for you outside." Yao Chunhua held her daughter’s hand, giving her encouragement before letting go.
Watching her daughter being wheeled into the delivery room and seeing the door close.
No sounds were heard from inside.
But the worry of all three never diminished.
Especially Sheng Zexi, who tightened his fists, lips pursed, never looking away from the delivery room door.
Yao Chunhua clasped her hands, repeatedly chanting prayers: "To the ancestors of the Gu Family, and all heavenly gods and Buddhas, you must protect Ningning."
"Ningning and the children must be safe and sound."
Perhaps Yao Chunhua’s behavior influenced Grandma Sang, or perhaps she thought that more blessings were needed, so Grandma Sang also started praying to the Sang Family ancestors and Sheng Family ancestors, and all heavenly gods and Buddhas to protect them.
Though in this era, such words might be considered superstitious, but in front of a mother worried about her daughter, in front of elders concerned about the young ones in their family, even if it’s superstition, as long as there’s a sliver of hope, they can seek divine intervention.
Seek more blessings to protect the laboring Gu Jia Ning and her babies.
It seemed like only half an hour had passed.
Suddenly, the delivery room door opened.
Yao Chunhua turned pale at the sight, "It’s over..."
Just half an hour after she went inside, and now the delivery room door opened again, what good news could there be?
Back when she gave birth to her eldest son, she was in pain for a whole day.
The second childbirth was the hardest, and took the longest.
And now, Ningning had only been inside for half an hour.
Saying she delivered two babies in half an hour seemed unlikely to Yao Chunhua.
And now, could it be that Ningning...
Not only Yao Chunhua, but Grandma Sang and Sheng Zexi had similar thoughts.
Especially Sheng Zexi, ever since Gu Jia Ning entered the late stage of pregnancy, he started feeling anxious, unable to sleep, sometimes having nightmares, dreaming about Gu Jia Ning experiencing difficult labor, or even worse...
So Sheng Zexi was terrified.
Seeing the delivery room door open so quickly, his bad feeling intensified.
Thus, upon seeing Doctor Hao, he rushed over, grabbed her hand, and firmly declared: "Doctor, prioritize the mother, whatever happens, prioritize the mother!"
