Molin Chu merely closed the door behind him, leaving his belt and hat behind.
“Hey, Chu Molin, where are you going?” Xie Jun saw Chu Molin rushing out like the wind as soon as he returned to the office.
Chu Molin’s heart was now entirely focused on his wife, Qin Xue, and he didn’t even hear Xie Jun calling him.
“This guy just got back, what’s he up to? And why is he in such a hurry?” Xie Jun muttered while watching Chu Molin run off, shaking his head as he went back home, where his own pregnant wife was waiting.
Chu Molin dashed to the hospital and bolted into the doctor’s office that had treated Qin Xue last time.
“Doctor, which ward is Qin Xue in?” As soon as he saw Li Rong, Chu Molin asked her about Qin Xue’s ward.
“Oh, it’s you. Have you just returned from a mission?” Li Rong was surprised to see Chu Molin suddenly appear before her.
“Which ward is my wife in?” Chu Molin had no patience to answer Li Rong’s question; he wanted to know Qin Xue’s situation.
“She’s in the same ward as before, but she just…” Before Li Rong could finish her sentence, Chu Molin had already run off.
“I haven’t finished speaking. She’s just beginning to feel pain; it’ll be a while before she gives birth.” Li Rong muttered to herself, the rest of her words left unsaid.
Li Rong thought for a moment, then grabbed her hearing aid and followed him out as well.
“Xue’er.” As soon as Chu Molin arrived at the ward, he saw the pained expression on Qin Xue’s face.
“Brother-in-law, you’re back.” Qin Jiale finally breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of Chu Molin’s return; she was really nervous.
“Chu Molin, you’re back.” Qin Xue looked up and saw Chu Molin half-kneeling in front of her as soon as she heard his voice.
“Mmm, I’m back. How are you?” Chu Molin asked, holding her hand.
“I’m fine, don’t worry.” Qin Xue forced an ugly smile; the pain was unbearable.
Chu Molin felt the sweat in Qin Xue’s palm, it was wet and clammy.
“Does it hurt a lot?” Chu Molin looked at Qin Xue’s pained expression, wishing he could take the pain for her, but there was nothing he could do about it.
“I can bear it.” Qin Xue had never screamed during her contractions; she had been silently enduring the pain.
Now the contractions were becoming more frequent, occurring every few minutes, and the pain was getting stronger. She bit her lip, her hand unconsciously gripping Chu Molin’s tightly.
Her grip was so strong it was hurting Chu Molin, but he didn’t show it. If his wife was unconsciously hurting him this much, it showed just how much pain she was in.
“Ah, it hurts so much.” Qin Xue finally cried out in pain.
“Xue’er.” All Chu Molin could do was watch helplessly.
“Mmm, ah, it hurts.” Qin Xue answered in between gasping for breath.
“You two go out for a moment; I’ll check on her.” Li Rong came in to examine Qin Xue’s condition.
“Doctor, I’ll stay here with her.” Chu Molin didn’t let go of Qin Xue’s hand.
“This…” The nurse looked at Chu Molin and then at Li Rong.
“I’m just going to check how much her cervix has dilated. You can come back in and accompany her after I’m done. Can’t you see she’s in so much pain?” Li Rong said helplessly to Chu Molin.
Chu Molin hesitated, then finally took his sister-in-law outside with him after looking at Qin Xue and Li Rong.
“You’re very lucky; your husband loves you dearly.” Li Rong softly said to Qin Xue.
“I know.” Qin Xue couldn’t help but laugh when she saw the pain on her husband’s face, even more than her own.
“Your cervix is dilated enough. Let’s go to the delivery room. You two, take her to the delivery room.” Li Rong prepared the delivery room first after finishing with her examination.
As two nurses pushed the wheelchair to help Qin Xue sit down, a pair of strong hands lifted Qin Xue up and gently placed her back on the wheelchair.
“Where to now?” Chu Molin asked the nurse, pushing the wheelchair.
