Chapter 301: Labor
Mu Chen’s face paled immediately. “Breakfast? What breakfast? How can we still eat? Cheng Che, go get the car! We’re leaving right now!”
Jiahui smiled. “It’s okay. Song Ning won’t go into labor just yet. Everything is on time. Moreover, she’ll only have the strength to give birth after eating.”
Mu Chen shook his head. “No, no, we have to leave now. Just pack the food and bring it to the hospital. If the food isn’t ready yet, we’ll send her to the hospital before I get something for her to eat. No matter what, we have to go to the hospital now!”
Cheng Chen said, equally anxious, “That’s right, Jiahui. Let’s go to the hospital first. After all, there are many people at the hospital, and we only have you here. I don’t feel assured…”
“Hey, are you doubting my medical skills?” Jiahui glared at Cheng Che.
Cheng Che hastily shook his head. “No, no, no, that’s not what I mean. I’m just worried. Look at Brother Chen; he’s about to go crazy. Have mercy on him and bring my sister-in-law to the hospital.”
In the end, Jiahui had no choice but to consult Song Ning about this matter.
Meanwhile, Mu Chen looked at Song Ning’s belly worriedly. The baby had grown rather slowly. In the beginning, Song Ning was not showing much of her pregnancy even at four months. He did not know how time flew, the days and the nights grew longer until Song Ning’s belly grew so much that she could not even see her toes.
Upon seeing Mu Chen’s worried expression, Song Ning smiled and held Mu Chen’s hand. “I’m really fine. You have to believe in me and Jiahui. Don’t panic and scare Grandma and Sister Yu.”
However, how could Mu Chen listen to her at a time like this? All he knew was Song Ning’s safety was the top priority. After all, this was Song Ning’s first time giving birth, and Jiahui was unmarried. Even if they were doctors, they lacked the experience.
Meanwhile, when Jiang Jin and Sister Yu received the news, they were relatively calm. Nevertheless, they agreed with Mu Chen and insisted on going to the hospital immediately.
Sister Yu hurriedly packed the food into containers of various sizes and the things they had prepared.
The driver would drive Jiang Jin and Sister Yu to the hospital later while Cheng Che drove Song Ning, Mu Chen, and Jiahui to the hospital first.
…
In the car.
Jiahui accompanied Song Ning while Song Ning ate to distract Song Ning.
Mu Chen remained silent, only focusing on Song Ning’s belly.
Jiahui waved a small bun in front of Mu Chen’s face and said, “Chairman Mu, can you please relax a little? Song Ning will be nervous if you continue to act like that. If Song Ning’s nervous, it’ll affect the child and…”
Mu Chen hurriedly interjected, “Then, what should I do?”
Jiahui was slightly taken aback. Feeling helpless, she pointed at the food and said, “Eat something. Save your strength. I don’t know how long it’ll take. Knowing you, even if you’re starving, you’ll continue to wait outside of the delivery room. Why don’t you eat your fill now so you’ll have more strength later?”
Mu Chen nodded obediently and grabbed a bun to ear.
Song Ning smiled with a helpless expression on her face. “Relax. I’ll be fine. The baby will be fine as well. Do you understand?”
Mu Chen nodded and held Song Ning’s hand. “Are you sure you don’t want me to go in with you? I can’t bear to leave you alone…”
Song Ning shook her head. She bluntly said, “There’s no need for that. Jiahui can accompany me. I’m afraid if you come in, you won’t like our baby anymore.”
Mu Chen thought about it; Song Ning had a point. Fortunately, the baby was a girl. If it was a boy, he might be angry at his son for causing his wife so much pain.
At the same time, Cheng Che, who was driving, found the scene scary. He briefly thought that perhaps he and Jiahui should not have children in the future. In any case, he had no other family members. What did it matter if he had children to continue the bloodline or not? It was fine as long as he and Jiahui were happy. He wondered if Jiahui would agree to this.
