Chapter 1387: Extra Episode 17: Has Given Birth
No one had anticipated that without undergoing labor pains, Mo Yan’s water would break first. By the time she was carried into the delivery room, apart from suppressed groans, she was in so much pain she couldn’t utter a complete sentence.
"Lady, you’re already dilated to six centimeters. It won’t be long before the baby is born. Try your best to bear the pain and keep from crying out loud. Save your strength to deliver the young master," the midwife advised.
The three midwives bustling around Mo Yan, however, were pleased. Although they felt that the breaking of the water before contractions wasn’t ideal, Mo Yan’s cervix was dilating smoothly and the baby was in a good position, which meant that dystocia was unlikely. The only concern was that her belly was excessively large, which could mean she would need to expend more effort.
"Ah...um...I know...ah—" Mo Yan managed to respond when suddenly, a wave of excruciating pain swept over her, feeling as if she was being torn apart, she let out a sharp cry of agony.
Xiao Ruiyuan, who rushed back as soon as he received the news, heard his wife’s scream the moment he entered. The look of nervousness on his face was instantly replaced by fear. Without a second thought, he made a beeline for the delivery room.
"Family Head, you must not," Xiao Eleven said, hurrying after him and attempting to block his path. "Lady is at a critical moment. If you barge in now, I fear it will cause a disturbance."
"Get out of my way—" Xiao Ruiyuan could no longer heed anyone else’s words. Channeling his Inner Strength into his palms, he pushed Xiao Eleven aside, kicked open the door of the delivery room, and strode in.
Xiao Eleven, unable to stop him and not daring to intrude, paced back and forth anxiously in the small hall.
"Since your Family Head has already gone in, your fretting is pointless. Better to send someone swiftly to inform Scholar Mansion. And while you’re at it, keep an eye on the situation there. Your Lady was about to give birth just two hours before Madam Mo was due," said Ting Lan.
Liu Tinglan, who hadn’t even thought about stopping anyone, didn’t think it was unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room. Seeing Xiao Ruiyuan charge in decisively, she felt relieved for her friend. But facing Xiao Eleven, who was acting as if the sky was falling, she was somewhat displeased and found a reason to send him away.
