Chapter 558: 557: Qin Keqin’s Production 2 (Three More)
Qin Keqin suddenly froze.
Luo Xiaolang and Joe came downstairs and moved towards Qin Keqin.
“Auntie, I’m going back first. If the little tiger wakes up and cries again, let Aunt Wu cajole him some more. There’s always a separation period, it will be fine after that…” Luo Xiaolang said.
As he was speaking, he noticed that something seemed off about Qin Keqin’s face.
She was standing there unmoving, her eyes staring straight at Luo Xiaolang, seemingly oblivious to anything he said.
“Auntie, Auntie what’s wrong?” Luo Xiaolang called out to her, some agitation in his voice.
Yin Bin, at the side, also observed that something was wrong with Qin Keqin.
The moment he lowered his head and saw the puddle on the floor, his heart jumped, and blood pressure started to rise frantically.
“Keqin, your water broke!” Yin Bin exclaimed loudly.
Since they were already nearing her due date, Yin Bin had been brushing up his knowledge on childbirth relentlessly. At this moment, he could tell immediately what had happened.
“It seems so.” Qin Keqin snapped back to reality at that moment.
“I’ll get you to the hospital right away. Mrs. Wang, get the birthing bag ready!”
“Yes, Sir, I’ll bring it right away.”
“Sit down immediately, sit down.” Yin Bin guided Qin Keqin to the sofa, urging her to sit.
Rupture of the membranes is actually quite detrimental to the baby.
Only then did Qin Keqin remember, and hurriedly sat down, raising her legs in an attempt to prevent the amniotic fluid from continuing to flow out.
With a loud voice, Yin Bin shouted upstairs, “Yin Qin, come down quickly to drive, your mom is giving birth!”
Caught in an emotional whirlwind, Yin Qin, hearing his father’s words, had no time for sadness. He quickly rushed down the stairs and hurried out, “I’ll go start the car right away.”
From the sofa, Yin Bin picked up Qin Keqin with one swift motion.
At that moment, Qin Keqin was quite heavy truly.
Qin Keqin was afraid that Yin Bin would injure his back.
Unable to help herself, she tightly clung to his neck.
From nowhere, Yin Bin seemed to find the strength to speed out of the villa, Qin Keqin in his arms.
Luo Xiaolang hesitated for a moment before saying to Joe, “I want to be there for the birth.”
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Joe agreed, nodding.
The pair also followed quickly after them.
Yin Qin parked the car in front of the door and helped his father to assist his mother into the car.
Then, he quickly got into the driver’s seat. His speed was somewhat fast.
Luo Xiaolang and Joe also got in their car, following behind the other vehicle.
As he held Qin Keqin, Yin Bin dialed the hospital’s number, “My wife’s in labour, we’re on our way to the hospital now, could you please prepare for the birth.”
“Alright, Mr. Yin, we’ll have someone waiting at the hospital entrance for you. Currently, you should get your wife to relax, don’t be nervous. Try to lay flat as much as possible to prevent the amniotic fluid from draining too quickly.”
“Okay.”
Yin Bin hung up the phone; he was obviously extremely tense.
Save for the rupture of the membranes, Qin Keqin had no other symptoms. Even contractions had not started, hence she didn’t feel any pain in her stomach. At that moment, she found herself reassuring Yin Bin instead, “Could you not be so nervous. There’s sweat all over your forehead.”
“I’m not nervous, not nervous at all. I’m elated. I’ve been awaiting the birth of our baby girl for almost ten months, and now she’s finally arriving. I’m excited, thrilled…” He was speaking so quickly he was nearly incoherent.
Qin Keqin didn’t feel the need to call him out on his facade.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, Yin Qin was also really nervous at that moment.
Since his mom was an older mother, the risks involved were considerably higher compared to the average pregnant woman.
He sped up a bit more.
They arrived at the hospital.
A few doctors and nurses were already waiting at the entrance.
Upon seeing their car pull up, they swiftly went forward to assist Qin Keqin. Getting her onto a mobile bed, they rapidly wheeled her towards the delivery room.
Yin Qin and Yin Bin also briskly followed.
Before long, Luo Xiaolang and Joe also appeared in the corridor.
Qin Keqin was wheeled into the delivery room.
Although she had been relatively fine on the way there, upon pushing into the delivery room, whether a product of her psychology or not, her stomach started to hurt. And the pain progressively amplified.
The doctor examined her and said, “Mrs. Yin, you’re dilated 2 cm. Though you’re an older mother, given that the baby’s positioning is great, and the baby’s size is well within the norm, plus your first baby was a natural delivery, we’ll first try to assist you with a normal delivery, only resorting to a cesarean section if all else fails. You have to be brave, alright?”
“Mm.” Qin Keqin nodded.
She figured it should be similar to when she gave birth to Yin Qin, which was also a natural birth. She had been in pain then for quite a while, but she made it through. This should be the same.
She didn’t want a cut below followed by another above.
She was already unhappy with her body as it was, she couldn’t allow even more scars.
As she was reflecting on this.
Another wave of contraction-induced pain rolled through her stomach.
The pain was so intense she was practically gasping for air.
“Mrs. Yin, relax, follow my rhythm of breathing. I believe you can give birth very soon.” Assured the midwife.
“Okay.” Qin Keqin agreed, nodding her head.
Outside in the corridor.
Yin Bin was restless, constantly pacing back and forth.
Why is there no sound from inside?
Isn’t giving birth usually accompanied by screams of pain?
Why is there not a sound to be heard from inside? Could something have gone wrong?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, nearly bursting into the room in a fit of panic.
The nurse standing outside the delivery room quickly stopped him. “Sir, you can’t go in.”
Stamping his foot, Yin Bin demanded, “Go inside and check for me. Why is it silent? Isn’t childbirth supposed to be painful? Why are there no screams?”
“Perhaps the real contractions have not yet started. Sir, don’t worry. Everything is under the control of the doctors…”
She didn’t finish her statement.
At that moment, the screams from Qin Keqin could be heard.
The screams were loud.
She must be in a lot of pain.
Upon hearing the screams, Yin Bin became frantic again, “Quick, go and see why she is suddenly screaming so loudly. Has the pain become unbearable or is she exhausted? Tell her I accept a cesarean section, I accept it!”
“…”
The nurse felt really distressed.
When the mother-to-be was silent, he was worried.
Now that she’s crying out, he’s still worried.
“Sir, I think you should calm down a bit. Giving birth is a process. Our doctors are very professional and have a lot of experience. If the lady can’t give birth naturally, we won’t force her to. Please believe in our professional judgment.”
Yin Bin reluctantly held back his anxiety.
The nurse made sense.
He forced himself to relax, continuously taking deep breaths and pacing back and forth.
Yin Qin, who had been relatively calm, was growing uneasy due to his father’s restlessness.
He wondered how his mum was holding up.
Is childbirth really that painful? He could hear the cries from his mother reverberating down the hallway.
He had no idea how much time had passed.
The entire corridor was quiet at this moment. Everyone was waiting for Qin Keqin to give birth.
The door to the delivery room opened.
A nurse came out.
Yin Bin rushed over, “Has she given birth?”
“No.” said the nurse, “The mother-to-be needs to replenish some energy. Could one of the family members buy some chocolate or milk tea? Please hurry.”
“…” Yin Bin was taken aback.
He wondered, can that be done?
Yin Qin quickly stood up, “I’ll go.”
And he ran off to the hospital’s kiosk.
In the corridor, Qin Keqin’s screams echoed intermittently.
Yin Qin returned quickly with a large bag full of snacks.
The nurse was speechless, “That’s too much.”
She selected a few items and took them inside.
Yin Qin was a bit dumbfounded. Holding such a large bag made him feel foolish. To ease his embarrassment, he quickly asked, “Dad, do you want anything?”
“No.” Yin Bin was too nervous to eat anything.
Yin Qin turned to Luo Xiaolang and Joe, “Do you want anything?”
Luo Xiaolang dismissed him, “No.”
He didn’t even look at him.
Without saying anything more, Yin Qin opened a bag of chips and began to eat.
The only sound in the hallway was the crunching noise from Yin Qin eating his chips.
“Will you stop eating?” Yin Bin was becoming impatient.
Yin Qin knew better than to mess with old man Yin, so he obediently put the chips down.
At this moment, Qin Keqin’s screams from the delivery room became louder.
Yin Bin became restless again.
He couldn’t take it anymore and shouted at the nurse, “I want to find an anesthetist, I want a cesarean.”
“Sir, please trust our doctors…”
“Trust my ass. It’s not his wife giving birth, he doesn’t feel the pain.”
“Our doctors are female…”
“Yeah, it’s not her body that’s in pain anyway!”
“…” Fine.
You have your way.
The nurse was about to go back into the delivery room. As soon as the door was opened, the mother’s voice could be heard yelling, “Yin Bin, you good-for-nothing!”
“…”
