Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 1197

That night, Yanny continued to watch the movie until midnight while Shayne was sleeping soundly next to her.

Placing the tablet on a shelf above the bedhead, Yanny was about to go to bed when she suddenly felt uneasiness around her lower body.

Her water broke.

Yanny gasped, “Shayne, Shayne.”

She reached out to nudge him.

Shayne woke up with bleary-eyes. “What’s wrong, are you feeling pain in your tummy?”

With a calm expression on her face, she uttered words that made Shayne’s blood run cold, “I think my water broke.”

Shayne was awake right away. He got off the bed and ran out the ward with big strides. “I’ll get us a doctor! Hold on and hang in there Yanny!”

“...”

A wave of unbearable pain washed over Yanny. She wanted to yell at Shayne, but she was in too much pain to do so.

Reaching out, she pressed on the service bell located near her bedside.

She scoffed while thinking, ‘Why did he have to rush out like this when there’s a bell right here…’

Shayne would always overreact when it came to matters related to her pregnancy and labour.

A nurse hurried over to check on her after Yanny rang the bell.

Shayne had gone all the way to the office to bring over Yanny’s doctor in charge.

He hurriedly contacted Ben to come over to the hospital and to be on standby in case anything happened to Yanny.

He then made a call to Henry and instructed him to send the blood donors from the nearby hotel to the hospital to be on standby as well.

When he was done making the arrangements, he rushed back to Yanny’s ward and saw that the doctors and nurses were already attending to her.

Getting past the nurses, Shayne walked toward the Chief of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and queried, “How is she?”

The lady chief had a look at the opening of the cervix, then calmly replied, “Director Jinn, the cervix had only opened an inch. At this rate, we would have to wait until the morning comes before the cervix is fully open.”

Shayne could not fully comprehend the doctor’s words as did not know much about the process of labour. He frowned and asked, “How long more does she need to be in pain?”

“It is Mrs. Jinn’s first labour. Hence, it will usually take about ten hours or so for the cervix to be fully opened. Well of course, there might be a chance for the cervix to open fully within five to six hours or even up to fifteen or sixteen hours.”

“Wouldn’t this torment her to death? Is there no other way?”

The female doctor shook her head and replied, “This is usually the case for a smooth labour.”

Yanny was laying on the bed, in pain. She held on tightly to the corners of the bedsheet. Her face was pale and she was covered in sweat, with her long hair sticking onto her face.

Shayne walked up to her, and crouched beside her bed. He held Yanny’s hands in one hand, and tidied her scattered hair with his other hand. Shayne was terribly anxious but there was nothing that he could do.

The female doctor and nurses were just about to leave after checking up on Yanny.

Losing his temper as he was really anxious, Shayne snapped, “How could you leave like this? Can't you see how badly she is hurting? Get back in here!”

Shayne was someone with an esteemed status whom the doctor and nurses did not dare to offend.

The doctor smiled and reassured, “Director Jinn, though Mrs. Jinn is in great pain, these are all normal reactions that one has to experience when preparing for labour. At this stage, we would have to check on the opening of the cervix over time. Mrs. Jinn can’t deliver the baby now as it has yet to reach the pelvic area.”

Yanny held on tightly to Shayne’s arms. Though the pain made Yanny’s face twist, she pleaded, “Just let it be, Shayne.”

Only then did Shayne allow the doctor to leave.

Yanny would scream out in pain every once in a while.

Shayne placed his arms in front of her lips and uttered, “You might feel better if you bite me.”

Yanny used Shayne’s arms as a tool for her to bite down when she was in pain.

After a full six hours, Yanny slowly got used to the pain from the contractions.

Lying down on the bed, Yanny was barely alive. She was like a fish gasping desperately for water.

At dawn, the doctor visited again to check on her and informed, “It’s considered fast as the cervix has opened up to six inches now. Around 9 in the morning, the cervix will fully open and Mrs. Jinn can be sent to the labour room.”
