Ye Wanwan hadn’t paid much attention at first and reached out to take her phone with one hand.
However, as soon as Ye Wanwan saw the message in WeChat, her face instantly changed color!
With a "clatter," the phone fell to the ground. Ye Wanwan furrowed her brows and began to look pained, "Ah!"
"Wanwan!" Shen Yi was alarmed and acted even before thinking, quickly standing up to reach Ye Wanwan’s side, "Wanwan, what’s wrong?"
Shen Yi supported Ye Wanwan’s shoulders and saw her pained expression and how her face had suddenly turned pale. Not caring about anything else, he turned around and shouted loudly toward the living room, "Uncle Zhang!"
After calling out, Shen Yi quickly picked Ye Wanwan up and carried her outside.
Uncle Zhang wasn’t there at the moment. The maid and the butler, hearing the commotion, rushed over. Realizing something was wrong, one of the maids smartly went to find Uncle Zhang.
Upon hearing that the lady seemed unwell, Uncle Zhang dropped his dishes and utensils and hurried out.
Seeing the master carrying the lady into the car, Uncle Zhang didn’t say anything else; he got into the car and immediately drove to the private hospital where the lady had her prenatal checkups.
"Wanwan, how are you feeling?" Shen Yi held Ye Wanwan in his arms, his eyes filled with terror, and his voice shook.
Ye Wanwan’s eyebrows were tightly knit, and she bit her lip, moaning in pain.
Shen Yi quickly tried to reassure her: "Wanwan, don’t be afraid. We are on our way to the hospital now, we will be there soon, don’t be scared!"
Sensing Shen Yi’s emotions, Ye Wanwan clutched his hand tightly, partly to alleviate her own discomfort and partly to calm him.
Ye Wanwan knew it was the sudden emotional surge that had caused the discomfort from the contractions, but the abrupt onset had indeed left her in so much pain she found it hard to catch her breath.
When she gripped Shen Yi’s hand firmly, he thought it was because she couldn’t bear the pain.
After all, at this moment, Ye Wanwan’s complexion was deathly pale, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the way she was clenched her teeth seemed too painful to bear.
Seeing Ye Wanwan in this state, Shen Yi felt as if he was about to suffocate!
"Wanwan!" he called out her name hoarsely, his eyes showing nothing but panic.
The emotional atmosphere in the back seat directly affected Uncle Zhang, who was driving. Uncle Zhang, usually a very steady driver, today made several overtakes, ensuring safety first.
The pain lasted for about ten minutes for Ye Wanwan, then gradually subsided. She took small, shallow breaths to steady her breathing and gradually began to feel better.
Suffering too much to reassure Shen Yi earlier, now that she felt less uncomfortable, Ye Wanwan finally said to Shen Yi, "I’m much better now, don’t worry."
"Are you feeling better?" Shen Yi tried to stay calm, but his words were still brimming with panic.
Ye Wanwan forced a smile and looked at Shen Yi to reassure him not to worry.
Shen Yi held Ye Wanwan, their foreheads touching, too overwhelmed to say anything.
Although there was heavy traffic, luckily the road was clear, and Uncle Zhang drove them to the hospital quickly.
Despite feeling much better now, Ye Wanwan was intensely uncomfortable earlier and worried for Zhouzhou, so she still needed to be checked out.
But now that Ye Wanwan was not that uncomfortable anymore, she couldn’t help but be distracted by the WeChat message she had seen earlier.
