Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 895

Chapter 895: Chapter 768: Imminent Childbirth

The corridor outside the delivery room was crowded with people, eyes fixed on the glass door, fervently hoping to hear any sound from inside.

Zhang Guoqing, usually smiling, had a serious expression, lips tightly pursed. In the scorching early July summer, he felt no heat, only a chill within.

Yesterday, summer vacation had just begun, allowing Zhang Guoqing to finally relax a bit. He returned to the Big Courtyard with Zhou Jiao and promptly took the advice of Mother Zhang, moving with his parents and the midwife into a small courtyard in the alley.

Who could have expected that after everything was settled, just when he planned to let Zhou Jiao rest leading up to the due date, she started bleeding unexpectedly in less than a day.

Zhang Guoqing questioned if it was his fault. He shouldn’t have taken his wife back to the Big Courtyard, no matter how slow the car drove, there would still be bumps.

The due date was in August, but it had now been moved more than a month earlier. Thinking about Zhou Jiao biting her lips until they were bleeding, Zhang Guoqing deeply regretted his recklessness.

He was so close, losing his mind at the last step!

Mother Zhang gently squeezed her son’s hand, softly comforting him, "Twins often come early, don’t worry. Our Jiao Jiao is very lucky; it will certainly be alright."

Zhang Guoqing stared at the large door, absent-mindedly gazing with a blank expression.

"Why is there no sound at all?" Cheng Ruzhu paced around, unable to hold back her voice any longer.

Zhang Guoqing knew the doctor inside had advised his wife not to bite down on the towel. But who was she? That was Zhou Jiao! Zhou Jiao, who was never comfortable losing composure in front of outsiders.

Old Mrs. Cheng sat in a chair with her head bowed, hands clasped together. If one observed closely, they would notice her lips were constantly moving. But who had the presence of mind to pay attention to details at a time like this?

Zhou Jiao had been inside since the early morning, and now it had been over ten hours. As time ticked by, those waiting grew increasingly uneasy.

Cheng Ruzhu finished speaking, noticed no response from anyone, nudged her sister-in-law Liu Xiu, "I’ll make a call to have the aunt at home send some food over."

Liu Xiu glanced at her sitting in-laws waiting patiently, "I’ll do it."

Cheng Ruzhu didn’t argue, and as soon as Liu left, she leaned against the glass door, eager to pull down that layer of white cloth from the other side.

Suddenly, the door swung open, and Cheng Ruzhu nearly fell inside upon seeing Doctor Lin. She quickly steadied herself and asked excitedly, "Doctor Lin, how is it?"

"Aunt Lin, how is Jiao Jiao now?" Zhang Guoqing rushed forward.

Doctor Lin swiftly blocked him, "She’s doing well! Don’t go in and disrupt her."

"Aunt Lin, please let me go in."

"No way! It’s packed with medical staff inside, there’s no room for you to squeeze in."

Zhang Guoqing looked at her disappointedly. So-called experts, with no understanding of the benefits of a husband’s presence during childbirth. What a ridiculous era!

He turned his head, craning his neck to look inside, but unfortunately, the delivery room was next door.

In a moment of desperation, Zhang Guoqing shouted, "Jiao Jiao, I’m waiting outside for you, hang in there. Darling, I’m outside waiting for you, you must hang in there. We won’t have any more kids after this, Jiao Jiao, hang in there..."

Doctor Lin was dumbfounded, tugging at his arm, "Alright, stop disturbing your wife during childbirth."

"...Darling, Ping’an is waiting for you to come home, darling, you must hang in there..."

"What are you doing? Shut up already!"

Seeing the doctor truly angry, Zhang Guoqing promptly closed his mouth, obediently craning his neck to look inside, trying to listen carefully for any sounds from within. Unfortunately, the noise from other patients, maternity women, and children in the neighboring rooms frequently interrupted his listening.

"Your wife asked me to deliver a message, are you listening or not? If not, I’m leaving."

Beside him, Zhou Xiaozheng asked sternly, "Tell me quickly, what did my Jiao Jiao say?"

Doctor Lin almost couldn’t catch her breath. These father-in-law and son-in-law pairs were hard to please! Just when she was about to speak, wasn’t she interrupted by the younger one? Judging by the elder’s demeanor, he seemed to think she was deliberately hiding something.
