Chapter 476 - My Wife Is In Labor
Her eyes flashed upon hearing Song Xing Xing's words. Xia Yu quickly went to Song Xing Xing's side to look at her. Seeing that Song Xing Xing was holding her stomach, Xia Yu knew that it was related to the babies.
Xia Yu was about to ask about the pain when she noticed the clear liquid pooling under the chair.
Although she had seen this situation previously, Xia Yu was stunned upon seeing the liquid.
This... isn't there a few more weeks before the due date?
Were the babies going to be born earlier?
Xia Yu snapped out of her trance and looked at her friend again. "Xing Xing, calm down. I think you're going into labor."
"What?" Song Xing Xing looked at Xia Yu in panic. She grabbed Xia Yu's arm and held it tight. "It can't be, right? It's too early. The doctor said that there's going to be a few more weeks."
"Relax! I'm here. You just have to remember what you have learned from your labor class," Xia Yu continued to speak in a soft and soothing tone. "You're carrying a twin. It's normal for the babies to come out earlier. Take a deep breath."
Following her instruction, Song Xing Xing took a few deep breaths to calm down. Her hands rested on her stomach as she whispered a few words to her babies, telling them to be safe.
"Can you stand up?" Xia Yu asked.
Song Xing Xing nodded.
"Then, let's go and sit down on the sofa. You have to be comfortable." Xia Yu held Song Xing Xing tightly and helped her to sit down comfortably. Then, she called Auntie Wei to tell her the situation.
Auntie Wei was not expecting that Song Xing Xing would give birth this early and she too began to panic. Although she had prepared herself for this day, Auntie Wei suddenly did not know what she should do next.
Xia Yu took out her phone and called an ambulance.
Fortunately, Lu's residence was quite close to the hospital where she had worked at. Xia Yu quickly called a few people she knew and let them prepare.
"The ambulance will be here shortly. I will ask them to bring you over to the hospital I work at, as it was closer. Is that alright?
Song Xing Xing nodded again. She had no opinion regarding this matter. At this time, she was still worrying over her babies.
Previously, the doctor had said that it would be better for the babies to stay longer in the mother's stomach. Because she was carrying a twin, the doctor had already told them that she will have to give birth earlier. Now that the babies are coming out sooner, Song Xing Xing could not help but worry that something was going to happen.
It was the first time that she was going to give birth. Song Xing Xing could not help but panic.
Fortunately, Xia Yu had stayed by her side to calm her down.
The ambulance arrived in less than ten minutes. Xia Yu grabbed the important things that Auntie Wei had prepared and accompanied Song Xing Xing to the hospital.
Once they arrived, a few doctors and nurses quickly let Song Xing Xing on the bed to check on her condition. Then, she was quickly pushed into the labor room.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu began to calm down.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar ring tone pierced the quiet atmosphere. It took Xia Yu a while to figure out that the sound came from Song Xing Xing's handbag that was in her hand.
Xia Yu saw the name on the caller ID and quickly answered the phone. "President Lu."
There was a brief silence on Lu Xun's part. His eyes narrowed upon hearing the unfamiliar voice. A while ago, he was still in a video conference meeting. When the call ended, Lu Xun called his wife to check on her. Who would have thought that he would hear a stranger's voice?
"Who is this?"
"President Lu, this is Xia Yu."
It was at this time that Lu Xun remember that his wife had mentioned that she was going to invite Xia Yu to come over and have lunch with her.
However, it was still strange that Xia Yu would answer the call on Song Xing Xing's behalf.
His heart was pounding and Lu Xun suddenly had a premonition.
Before he could ask, Xia Yu had already spoken, "President Lu, your wife is about to give birth. Xing Xing's amniotic fluid broke. We are currently at the hospital and she was pushed into the labor room a few minutes ago." Xia Yu's voice was calm as she reported what had happened.
Meanwhile, Lu Xun's face turned pale when he heard that his wife was going to give birth. His hand clenched into a fist as he tried to suppress his panic.
After listening to Xia Yu reporting the hospital name, Lu Xun stood up and walked over to his door. He had reached the elevator when he turned around to his office again. His mind was chaotic and he had forgotten to take his keys.
The secretaries outside his room saw the abnormalities on their boss's face and wondered what was going on.
At this time, Bei Yuan appeared. He was about to sound the secretaries for gossiping when he saw President Lu walking towards the elevator with a strange posture.
"What's wrong with President Lu?" Bei Yuan asked.
"I don't know," one of the secretaries answered. "But his expression has been quite scary."
Bei Yuan frowned. He passed the documents in his hand to the secretary and chased after his boss. Fortunately, he caught up with his boss before he entered the elevator.
"President Lu, is there something wrong?"
Bei Yuan's question snapped out of his trance. Lu Xun stared at his assistant and stretched out his hand to pass his car keys. "Bei Yuan, help and drive me to the hospital."
Seeing his boss's pale face made the assistant worry that his boss was feeling unwell. However, his boss's next words surprised him.
"My wife is in labor."
It was then that Bei Yuan noticed how his boss's hands were trembling as he hold the car keys.. With his condition at this time, he would not be able to drive.
