Time trickled by. It had been three hours since Ye Zhen had been pushed into the delivery room. However, during these three hours, only doctors and nurses would occasionally enter and exit the delivery room. Lu Beichuan and the others did not dare to stop the doctors and nurses to question them for fear of delaying the delivery.
"It's been more than three hours. Why hasn't Zhen Zhen come out yet?" Unexpectedly, Old Master Lu was the first to lose his cool. He held his cane with both hands and glanced at his watch from time to time.
Although Mrs. Lu was anxious, she had experience in childbirth. She comforted Old Master Lu. "Dad, don't worry. It's only been three hours. When I was pregnant with Beichuan, I gave birth for more than five hours. I'm afraid we'll have to wait. How about this? You go and rest first. We'll call you when Zhen Zhen comes out."
Old Master Lu hadn't slept well the entire night and had forced himself to sit until now. Uncle Lu was really worried about his old body and tried to persuade him along with Madam Lu. "That's right, Old Master. You won't be of much help here. Besides, you didn't sleep well last night. Why don't you go and have a good rest first? When Young Madam comes out, we'll immediately call you.
Old Master Lu waved his hand stubbornly. "Don't try to persuade me! I know my own body best. How long has it been? Don't worry, I can hold on! "
When the old man was stubborn, there was no way around it. No matter how they tried to persuade him, he would not listen.
Mrs. Lu and Uncle Lu had no choice but to let Old Master Lu continue to sit there and wait.
"By the way, Beichuan, have you informed the people at the Family Ye about Zhen Zhen's situation?"
Although Mrs. Lu did not like the Family Ye, Ye Zhen was still the daughter of the Family Ye. It was indeed inappropriate for her to not inform her biological parents about her daughter's labor.
Ever since Ye Zhen entered the delivery room, Lu Beichuan had been standing stiffly against the wall, motionless. His eyebrows drooped as he stared at the ground. No one knew what he was thinking.
Lu Beichuan didn't respond immediately, but Old Master Lu frowned and asked, "Why … didn't you tell the Family Ye that Zhen Zhen was hospitalized?"
Old Master Lu had always been a man of rules. Although he had vaguely heard about the messy Family Ye and felt that the Family Ye wasn't very reliable, how could they not inform him about such an important matter like giving birth?
"It's all my fault. I've been so busy that I forgot to call my in-laws." Mrs. Lu hurriedly said, "I'll call them right away."
Just as she was about to get up, Lu Beichuan stopped her. "Wait until Zhen Zhen comes out."
"But …"
"It's useless even if they come." Lu Beichuan was exceptionally calm and ruthless when it came to dealing with the Family Ye.
During the year that Ye Zhen was pregnant, Lu Beichuan could be said to have turned a blind eye to the Family Ye. The Family Ye had repeatedly been on the verge of bankruptcy. They had repeatedly begged Lu Beichuan to help, but Lu Beichuan had always treated them coldly. He hadn't said anything about helping, but he hadn't said anything about not helping. He had only allowed the Family Ye to survive.
This was purely out of gratitude for the Family Ye's upbringing for Ye Zhen.
He couldn't correct all the unfair treatment that Ye Zhen had suffered in the past. He only hoped that Ye Zhen wouldn't suffer any more grievances in the future.
"This …" Mother Lu frowned. Disapproval was written all over her face.
Lu Beichuan's attitude remained firm. He said calmly, "I know what I'm doing. You don't have to worry about it."
Old Master Lu was about to speak, but when he saw Lu Beichuan's expressionless face, he swallowed his words.
He sighed.
Forget it. Lu Beichuan was in charge of the Lu Family now. His children and grandchildren had their own blessings. An old man like him didn't have to worry about this.
Amidst the long sighs of anxiety, the door to the delivery room opened. Several people suddenly stood up.
The doctor looked exhausted. He pulled down his mask and looked at Lu Beichuan and the others.
During these two seconds of silence, Lu Beichuan's heart jumped into his throat. Countless possibilities flashed through his mind in an instant. His fear made him subconsciously hold his breath.
"The child hasn't been born yet. The current situation is that the mother can't exert any strength. If necessary, we will choose to perform a cesarean section. Mr. Lu, we need you to …"
Without waiting for the doctor to finish speaking, Lu Beichuan said with a sullen face, "I'll go in."
The chief doctor was slightly taken aback. He nodded and led Lu Beichuan into the delivery room.
After passing through a long corridor, they finally arrived at the real delivery room. The moment the door was pushed open, Lu Beichuan's eardrums were filled with miserable screams. It was like a knife cutting into Lu Beichuan's heart.
Ye Zhen was lying on the operating table. She breathed hard according to the nurse's instructions. Her whole body was covered in sweat, and the veins on the back of her hands were popping out.
Seeing this scene, Lu Beichuan's heart clenched. He quickly walked to the operating table and stared at Ye Zhen nervously. "Zhen Zhen, look at me. I'm here!"
When Ye Zhen heard his voice, she reacted. Her face was full of pain as she panted and looked at Lu Beichuan beside her. She seemed to be in disbelief. "You … How did you … How did you come in?"
Lu Beichuan didn't say a word. He held her hand. "I should have been here from the start."
