Chapter 557: Chapter 555 Ningxing Gives Birth 2_1

Lu Tingli saw the worry in her eyes and spoke out, "Don’t be afraid, when the time comes, I’ll accompany you into the delivery room."

As he spoke, he gently held the girl in his arms.

Xia Ningxing’s originally anxious heart found a sliver of security in his words, like a person in the dark seeing light, or like a thirsty traveler in the desert sighting an oasis.

She also reached out her arms to embrace him.

In between them was a large belly, inside which was the crystallization of their love.

There was one day left until the due date.

But that very night, Xia Ningxing felt a wetness beneath her, and waves of pain emanated from her belly.

She couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

As soon as she made a sound, Lu Tingli, who was sleeping at her side, immediately opened his eyes and "snap" turned on the light. Seeing her face covered in cold sweat and pained expression, he became extremely anxious, "Is it time? I’ll go call the doctor right now!"

Without waiting for Xia Ningxing to speak, Lu Tingli hurriedly pressed the call button.

Mrs. Xia, who was standing by on the other side, also opened her eyes and quickly pulled back the blanket from Xia Ningxing. Seeing the amniotic fluid on the bedsheet, she immediately said, "The water broke! It’s time! She’s really going into labor!"

"Bao’er, don’t be afraid."

Mrs. Xia’s eyes were moist as she tightly held her hand, comforting and encouraging her.

The contractions continued, and Xia Ningxing’s face turned pale as paper, drenched in sweat, as she forced out a few words from her throat, "Mhm, I’m not afraid."

Soon after, Aunt Lu and others hurried over.

"The water broke?" After a glance, Aunt Lu checked the dilation of the cervix, "Only three centimeters dilated, can’t give birth yet, need to wait more."

"My dear niece-in-law, it may get more painful later, just bear with it a little," Aunt Lu comforted.

"Okay, Aunt Lu," Xia Ningxing replied palely.

As the cervix continued to dilate, the pain would escalate dramatically, and when it was finally time to give birth, it would feel like all ten ribs were breaking at once!

Not many people were allowed in the delivery room, so at this moment only Lu Tingli, Mrs. Xia, Aunt Lu, and a few midwives were with her.

The others could only wait outside.

It was two o’clock in the morning, the deepest and sweetest time of sleep, but upon learning that Xia Ningxing was about to go into labor, everyone promptly got out of their beds and came to the hospital.

The old Master, Lu Fan, Taozi, as well as several of Xia Ningxing’s brothers and their wives, cousin Lin Sisi, Taozi, Luo Xiaohua... everyone had arrived.

At this moment, all of them were anxiously waiting outside.

The doors of the operating room were closed; no one knew what was happening inside, except for the occasional muffled groans of pain from Xia Ningxing.

It seemed she didn’t want everyone to worry, so she forced herself to endure the pain and not cry out.

But the more she did so, the more it broke everyone’s heart to listen.

Even the usually materialistic old Master couldn’t help but close his eyes and silently pray to God.

In the labor room, Lu Tingli, seeing her stifling her pain, felt even more heartbroken. Holding her wrist, he said, "Ningxing, if it hurts, just shout it out, it’s okay."

"It’s not that painful now," Xia Ningxing shook her head at him, "And shouting would waste energy. I don’t want to waste energy; I want to save all my strength for the birth."

Lu Tingli sighed, his long fingers wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, his voice quivering, his pupils showing red bloodlines, "You’ve suffered, wife. We won’t have any more children after this."

He truly didn’t want to see her suffer this pain ever again!

"Ah? No more kids?" Xia Ningxing’s eyes widened, "But I was planning to have another one!"

Although childbirth was painful, she wanted to leave more of the big guy’s bloodline in this world.

"No more," Lu Tingli was very firm in his stance.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

As the cervix continued to dilate, the pain level surged once again.

By now, Xia Ningxing was covered in cold sweat, her hair wet and sticking to her body, with drips of water falling from her hair ends, looking as though she’d just been fished out of water.

Finally!

She had dilated to ten centimeters!

It was time to head to the operating table for delivery!

Before going to the operating table, Xia Ningxing’s clothes had already been removed by the nurse, and she had put on a clean surgical gown.

Next, the nurses lifted her onto the operating table.

Clack!

The glaring lights shone down, cold and distant.

Xia Ningxing’s heart instantly started racing, pounding like a drum in her chest, her ears filled with noise, and her mind was dizzy.

She had never been scared when performing surgery on others.

But lying on the cold operating table herself, Xia Ningxing couldn’t deny that she was a little frightened.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m right here," Lu Tingli held her hand tightly, looking at her with deep and heart-wrenching affection, wishing he could bear the pain for her.

Comforted by his words, Xia Ningxing’s eyes couldn’t help but redden, and tears started to fall.

She hadn’t cried when her water broke, nor had she cried during dilation.

But now, she had become a weeping mess.

Because she was moved.

How many men would be willing to accompany their wives in the delivery room, and how many would treat their wives this well?

How lucky was she to have met him!

"Are you scared?" Seeing her suddenly cry like this, Lu Tingli’s heart felt like it was breaking. His eyes also brimmed with tears as he held her hand and said, "If you’re too scared, we can switch to a cesarean section."

His voice was choked up, filled with regret about why they had to have a child, why she had to endure such great pain.

If he could, he would rather remain childless for life than have her go through this ordeal!

"I’m not crying because I’m afraid, I just feel that you’re really great, Lu," Xia Ningxing lifted her tearful eyes and spoke to him, word by word.

"Silly girl," Lu Tingli gently ruffled her hair.

At that moment, Aunt Lu spoke, "Xingxing, we’re ready to begin the delivery. Remember to breathe deeply, push hard, and don’t be too nervous. Being nervous amplifies the pain, you know?"

"I understand, Aunt Lu," Xia Ningxing hastily responded.

Then, Aunt Lu gently and softly guided her through the delivery.

Xia Ningxing cooperated as much as she could, putting all her strength into it.

What does it feel like to have a natural birth?

To put it simply, it was like having a massive bowel movement!

"Almost there, the head is visible now!" Aunt Lu kept watching the situation closely, and at that moment, she let out an excited cry.

She looked up at Xia Ningxing, who was covered in sweat, and encouraged her again, "Xingxing, a little more strength and the baby will be out! Push harder!"

"Okay!"

Xia Ningxing clenched her fingers and gave it her all!

Finally!

"Wah!"

"Wah! Wah!!"

The loud and distinct cries of the baby suddenly filled the entire delivery room.

This sound was the most beautiful sound in the world!

"It’s born! The baby is born!" Aunt Lu had never been as excited as she was at that moment, even waving the nurse aside to personally hold the baby and take it for cleaning.
