Transmigration: From Dragon Princess To Pampered Granddaughter
Chapter 436 - 437 Breath of Death

Chapter 436: Chapter 437 Breath of Death

He felt that even if he had a child in the future, there was no way the child could be as obedient and lovable, as sensible and considerate as Guibao.

Chen Jianye stood by, listening to their conversation, a complex look in his eyes.

Although he knew that once his younger brother had a son, he would not think the same way, but the fact that he could say such things to soothe Guibao proved his deep love for her.

He simply hoped that his younger brother would remember what he once said, treat Guibao fairly, and not discriminate between his biological and adopted children.

Dani was boiling hot water in the kitchen, praying in her heart for her mother to give birth safely, wishing for a plump and healthy little brother as their parents wished.

Erni, on the other hand, did not care whether it was a brother or sister. The families had been separated, each living their own lives, there was no need for a brother to compete for favor. She just wanted her mother to give birth as soon as possible, to get some rest.

She had to get up early to go to school tomorrow.

In the house, Zhao Mei was lying supine on the bed, her face ashen, drenched in sweat.

She was too nervous, too worried that she might give birth to another girl, to the point that she had been in labor for a long time but the child had not been born, almost exhausting all her strength.

"Mum, mum, I have no strength left!"

Having said that in a feeble breath, Zhao Mei’s legs just went limp on the bed.

Zhou Zhaodi and Liu Lanzhi immediately stepped forward to help support her legs, both of them looking a bit tense.

No matter how many times a woman gives birth, it always feels like hovering on the edge of the Ghost Gate, where the slightest mishap could result in both mother and baby losing their lives!

Ma Xiulian immediately brought over some sugar water and eggs from the kitchen, standing by the bed to feed her: "Eat up fast, you’ll regain your strength after eating!"

Seeing how difficult it was for the eldest daughter-in-law, Ma Xiulian knew that today’s childbirth was probably difficult and she waited in the room all the time.

When she did not come out for a while, Chen Jianjun held his little daughter to brush her teeth and wash her face, and then stayed by the bed to lull her to sleep.

Other than Dani and Erni, the other children also went back to their rooms to sleep, and the adults were all waiting at the door.

Chen Dazhu was squatting at the entrance of the yard, silently smoking his pipe, with the others all silent. The time seemed to be dragging on forever!

The atmosphere began to grow tense and heavy again.

Chen Jianguo paced back and forth, worry and anxiety clearly visible on his dark face: "Why hasn’t there been any news yet? Why hasn’t the baby come out?! Dad, do you think something might happen to Mei and the baby?!"

Giving birth should not take this much time, especially since this was not her first child.

"Why are you rushing? Your mother is there! Nothing will happen!" Chen Dazhu scolded him in a low voice upon seeing his panic.

Chen Jianguo knew that panicking would not help, so he suppressed his anxieties and returned to the door to wait. He waited until the wee hours of the morning.

By this time, Zhao Mei’s amniotic fluid was almost depleted. If the baby did not come out soon, it would suffocate.

"Ma! What should we do now?" Seeing that Zhao Mei’s consciousness was starting to blur from exhaustion, Zhou Zhaodi shouted anxiously to her mother-in-law.

If things continued like this, there would be two lives lost!

Seeing the gravity of the situation, Ma Xiulian made a decisive decision and went out the door to shout, "Second, Third, hurry up! Run to the village and ask the barefoot doctor to come over. I’m afraid something’s wrong with eldest daughter-in-law."

Everyone outside drew a sharp breath and Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianye immediately ran towards the village gate.

Chen Jianguo’s face turned pale instantly, while fear was reflected on Dani and Erni’s faces, worrying that something might happen to their mother.

Meanwhile, in her sleep, Helian Qiao sensed the presence of death.

She frowned and opened her eyes, her black, misty eyes filled with a look of disdain.
