Unknown how long she had slept, Lin Xinlan felt some cramps in her belly.
She opened her eyes, knowing it was time to give birth.
When she gave birth to Xiaocong, she was also awakened by pain in her dream.
However, it was nighttime then, and only her mother was at home.
In the middle of the night, she was about to have a baby, which scared her mother terribly.
Fortunately, there was a small tricycle for pulling vegetables at home.
Lin Xinlan sat in the back of the tricycle, and her mother pedaled forcefully to take her to the hospital.
She remembered it was early summer, her mother took her to the hospital, and like her, her whole body was soaked in sweat.
Lin Xinlan calmly sat up, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
At this moment, she still had the mood to think about the past.
She slowly sat up and dressed, then pressed the intercom, and the phone in the living room downstairs rang.
It was Rong’s mother who answered, Lin Xinlan told her that her belly started hurting, and Rong’s mother immediately became flustered on the other end.
There were many people at home, so there was no need to be afraid.
The driver drove Lin Xinlan to the hospital, Rong’s mother took out her mobile phone to call Rong Shaoze.
Lin Xinlan hurriedly pressed her hand, "Ma’am, wait until we get to the hospital and confirm that I’m okay, then you can call him."
Rong’s mother glanced at her, and a smile appeared on her delicate eyebrows.
She was worried that Rong Shaoze would have an accident if he knew she was about to give birth and drove recklessly.
However, Rong’s mother still called Tao Hua, and once they got to the hospital, Lin Xinlan was immediately sent to the emergency room.
Shortly after, Rong Shaoze also arrived.
He regretted going out today, missing the chance to accompany Lin Xinlan to the hospital.
If he had known she was going into labor, he wouldn’t have gone out.
Rong’s mother comforted him, saying Lin Xinlan would be fine, but he was still very worried.
Tao Hua walked over and handed him surgical papers, "Sign it."
Although he was skilled, confident in delivering a baby without issue, the procedure still needed to be followed.
Moreover, Lin Xinlan was having a cesarean section, not only to deliver the baby but also to remove a tumor from her body, making the surgical risk higher than usual.
Rong Shaoze picked up the pen, glanced at it, and flamboyantly signed his name.
"How risky is it?" he frowned and asked.
Tao Hua appeared relaxed, he smiled and said, "Don’t worry, the surgery will be fine."
He had performed countless surgeries with risks much higher than this one, so this was certainly not a problem.
Rong Shaoze trusted him and felt less worried.
Today, it wasn’t just Lin Xinlan giving birth, there was another family waiting for a woman in labor in the nearby delivery room.
"I don’t know if it will go smoothly, may the Buddha bless my grandson to be born safely," the elderly woman said devoutly with both hands clasped together.
Rong’s mother glanced at her and silently prayed as well.
The surgery lasted for over an hour, when a nurse came out of the delivery room, "Who is Li Xiuying’s family?"
"I am, I am her husband!"
"The mother is having difficulty giving birth, should we save the mother or the child?"
The elderly woman felt dizzy, and her son’s face turned pale.
"Quickly, save the mother or the child?" the nurse asked urgently.
"Save... save the mother!" the man gritted his teeth and said harshly.
The elderly woman felt even dizzier.
After signing, the elderly woman started crying, "When I was giving birth to you, it was also difficult. The doctor asked your dad whether to save the mother or the child, and your dad said to save the mother. Later, I still managed to give birth to you safely. Don’t worry, Xiuying and the child will be fine..."
