She gripped his hands tightly, digging her nails into his flesh .
Yan Rusheng let her pinch him . How he wished she could pinch him harder—he deserved it for making her go through so much pain .
“Harder . ”
The matron of the City Women and Children’s Hospital personally delivered Xuxu’s babies . In a rhythmic and regular pace, she repeatedly asked Xuxu to push harder .
Xuxu gritted her teeth and gave another push with all her might .
“Almost there, one of their heads is already out,” the matron encouraged . “Just a little harder . ”
She was drenched in perspiration as well . A nurse stood beside her, wiping her sweat for her .
The matron’s encouragement worked wonders . When Xuxu heard that one of her children’s head was out, her eyes gleamed for a moment and it rejuvenated her whole body .
She clenched her teeth and complied to the matron’s instructions .
“He’s out . He’s out . ”
As a matron, she had delivered countless babies before . But at that moment, as she carried a small life in her arms, fresh from the womb and covered in blood, she was beyond exhilarated .
“It’s the brother . The older brother is out . ”
The matron determined the baby’s gender and excitedly told Mu Li .
She then passed the baby to the nurse beside her, and she continued helping Xuxu deliver the other baby .
One of them was out, so the second one was much easier for her . The baby came out quickly, followed by a series of wails .
Mu Li had subconsciously let go of Xuxu’s hand . She walked over to the matron . Seeing the babies in the nurse’s arms, she wept tears of happiness .
Yet, Yan Rusheng’s gaze never left Xuxu’s face for a mere second .
“Wen Xuxu, it’s been tough on you . ” He wiped her sweat, his eyes full of heartache .
He called her by her full name, not ‘wife’ or ‘darling’ . It encompassed all the gratitude, love and respect he had for her .
Xuxu felt like she had just been brought back from the brink of death . She didn’t get a chance to feel relieved, nor look at her newborn babies . However, she suddenly recalled the call she had with Bai Jing earlier .
She grabbed onto Yan Rusheng’s arm tightly . Worried, she said, “Yueyue . Something happened to her in school . ”
She told him, “Quickly! Go and look for her . ”
It startled Yan Rusheng . “What happened to her?”
Feebly, Xuxu told informed him of whatever Bai Jing had told her earlier .
Coldness flashed through his eyes . “I…”
He was about to tell her that he would go over immediately, but Mu Li—who was watching the nurse clean the babies up—suddenly called out to him . “Third Yan, quickly bring Xuxu for a checkup . Especially for her brain . ”
Yan Rusheng became anxious . “What’s wrong?”
Mu Li replied, “She was unconscious for a while . She only woke when we got to the hospital . ”
“Alright . ” Yan Rusheng nodded . He bent over, wrapped her up using the towel covering her body, carried her bridal style and walked out .
“But Yueyue . Yan Rusheng, I’m fine . You should find Yueyue quickly,” Xuxu reminded him anxiously . Giving birth had drained all her energy, so her voice was still weak .
Yan Rusheng continued walking and comforted her . “Don’t worry . I’ll get someone to find her now . ”
But Xuxu couldn’t put her mind at ease if he had sent someone else . “No, you should go . Go . ”
She said as she pushed him .
“Don’t be stubborn . I’ll get Ming Ansheng to find her,” Yan Rusheng murmured .
