Chapter 584. Girl
“Ouch…”
“Mom, where’s Wen Yang?”
Ning Chu lay on the hospital bed, her eyes dull, gasping for air. A fine sheen of sweat covered her forehead, forming beads that dripped down and soaked the pillow.
Her eyes were glistening, tears welling up as she furrowed her brows in pain, her fingers white-knuckled as they clutched the bedsheet.
A wave of intense pain gradually passed, and her tense body relaxed somewhat as she lifelessly asked, “It hurts so much~ Mom, didn’t you say it wouldn’t be painful?”
This was just the beginning! The pain had already reached the level of menstrual cramps combined with ice-cold cola! While it was still bearable, they said the first childbirth could last over ten to twenty hours of continuous contractions—and it would only get worse!
Thinking about the torment she had to endure for more than ten hours and the stronger pain to come made her feel even more wronged. The tears she had held back during the pain now flowed freely.
Her mother, feeling heartbroken, tried to comfort her: “Just wait a bit longer; the doctor said you can’t have the pain relief yet.”
“If I get an injection, will it really not hurt?”
“It’ll ease it a bit, it won’t hurt this much anymore.”
“But I can’t take it anymore…”
Just then, Wen Yang hurried into the room. “What’s going on? Is she about to give birth? What’s happening?!”
“Wen Yang…”
The moment she saw her husband, a wave of grievance rushed over her, and she couldn’t hold back her tears any longer. Ning Chu sobbed, her tears and snot covering her face, but she still cared about her appearance, desperately wiping her face with her sleeve, only making it worse.
Seeing her cry so hard, Wen Yang panicked, hurriedly grabbing her hand, bending down, and resting his forehead against hers, repeatedly murmuring in a hoarse voice, “It’s okay, it’s okay, I’m here…”
Constant reassurance gradually calmed Ning Chu’s emotions, and she stared blankly, her consciousness a bit hazy.
Wen Yang gently wiped away her tears, and she finally focused her gaze, looking at Wen Yang’s face with a weak voice: “Why are you crying? It’s not you who’s in pain.”
“It hurts my heart…”
“Give me a hug~”
Wen Yang took a deep breath, looking over at her mother: “Mom, she’s in so much pain. Didn’t they say there’s pain relief technology now? Why isn’t it available yet?”
“They can only give it once you’re in the delivery room,” her mother replied, also troubled. “And even with pain relief, it won’t make it completely painless.”
“What should we do? How about just going for a C-section and using anesthesia?”
Her mother was about to explain that a C-section only provides anesthesia during delivery, and the incision would still hurt afterward, but Ning Chu shook her head in strong opposition.
“No way! It’ll leave scars!”
“……”
Wen Yang looked at Ning Chu with a complex expression: “No one will see it if you’re wearing clothes…”
“What if I want to wear a crop top?”
Ning Chu’s face suddenly turned pale again, trembling as she reached out her hand to her husband. Wen Yang’s words got stuck in his throat, and he quickly sat down, holding her delicate little hand and murmuring non-stop.
“It’s okay, I’m here, it’s okay…”
“Don’t cry! If you cry, I want to cry too…”
As a succubus, Ning Chu’s tolerance for pain was much lower. She had hoped to somehow turn the pain of childbirth into pleasure using her succubus biology.
But unfortunately, the pain was too intense; her mind was too clouded to think of anything else. All she wanted was for it to end quickly. She even wished she could faint, but no matter how intense the pain, she couldn’t pass out.
This day was difficult for the whole family.
Wen Yang stayed up all night, not even eating, just staying by Ning Chu’s side, listening to her increasingly weak whimpers, and his expression grew more and more guilty.
They shouldn’t have had a child… Even if Ning Chu and her mother wanted a baby, he should have stopped it.
Ning Chu usually cried if she bumped into a table corner; she would tear up if her boss reprimanded her at work. And now she was suffering so much.
After enduring until the next day, Ning Chu was finally taken into the delivery room.
Wen Yang, exhausted, sat on a chair outside the delivery room, resting his head against the wall and staring at the ceiling.
“Mom~ Brother-in-law~ I brought you food~”
Heidou, having the weekend off, came running down the hallway with a bag of takeout. She usually cheerful noticed something was off the moment she approached Wen Yang.
Her once-perky tail drooped down, cautiously moving closer: “Are you eating?”
Wen Yang shook his head and continued staring dazedly at the dazzling lights.
Her mother took the food box: “Eat something. There’s no point in getting anxious outside. If you collapse before Ning Chu is okay, what will we do?”
“Fine…”
Heidou, swift to catch on, leaned closer to her mother and whispered, “Mom, what’s wrong? Isn’t sister having a baby? Why is everyone so upset?”
“Your brother-in-law is worried about her.”
“I heard it’s super painful~”
Her mother nodded noncommittally, glancing at Wen Yang, and felt a bit relieved when he obediently opened the food box to eat.
However, Wen Yang was absent-minded as he ate, usually big on appetite, but he barely ate a few bites, just holding the food box as he stared at the delivery room door.
“It’s been an hour, why isn’t she out yet?”
He grew increasingly restless, supporting himself on his knees as he stood up and paced back and forth in the hallway.
He wasn’t really exercising, but he was sweating anxiously.
“Two hours is normal,” his mother sighed worriedly. “It can even take over ten hours.”
The tense atmosphere made Heidou fidgety. She gently tugged at her mother’s sleeve, whispering, “Mom, is it dangerous? Sister won’t be okay, will she?”
“It used to be pretty dangerous, but with modern technology, they just suffer a bit.”
“I’m too scared to have a baby now~” she mumbled, “I thought it was a happy thing.”
“It depends on how you view it. Your sister once shouted she’d never have kids in this lifetime.”
Hurrying footsteps came from the end of the hallway; Uncle also arrived.
Seeing him, her mother’s calm demeanor immediately crumbled, and she rushed over, anxiously muttering, “It’s been so long, and she still hasn’t come out… I hope nothing’s wrong.”
Just a moment ago, she was the pillar of strength for the younger ones, comforting Wen Yang and Heidou. But now with Uncle here, she turned into a restless ant on a hot pan.
Fortunately, just as it neared the two-hour mark, the door opened.
They couldn’t wait to rush in, eagerly looking at the nurse and doctor with hopeful eyes.
“Mother and daughter are safe, and it went smoothly.” The nurse held up the baby for everyone to see, smiling as she said, “It’s a girl, very healthy.”
“But why hasn’t Ning Chu come out yet?”
Wen Yang only stared anxiously at the delivery room door, nearly wanting to burst in.
“She’ll need to be monitored for another two hours to prevent excessive bleeding.”
“That’s good…”
Once his heart relaxed, he finally had time to look at the baby in the nurse’s arms.
It’s a girl~
