Chapter 421 - Your Wife and Baby is Counting on You (1/2)

Looking at the wide opening, Zhang Yu Han felt his blood drain off his head and he staggered backward. However, Li Qin Yao's scream quickly snapped him back to reality.

Zhang Yu Han patted at his face a few times and warned himself that this was not the time for him to faint. His wife was in labor and she needed him right now. If he fainted, then, his wife and child would be in great danger.

”Doctor Qiao, I don't think I can hold on until the paramedics arrive,” Li Qin Yao spoke. ”I want to start pushing.”

”Mister Zhang,” Doctor Qiao's calm voice was heard from the loudspeaker. ”How many centimeters?”

Zhang Yu Han turned to look at the opening again. ”Five.” He shouted.

Or was that four and a half? Should he give a proper measurement? What should he do? He did not know how to measure properly!

”Mrs. Zhang, hold on. It's still too early for you to start pushing,” Doctor Qiao spoke.

Too early? The opening was already this wide, and Doctor Qiao think it was still too early? Then when should his wife start pushing out the baby?

Watching his wife in pain, Zhang Yu Han did not know whether he wanted the baby to come out quick or to wait until helps arrived. Anyway, he did not like to see his wife in pain.

”Mrs. Zhang, you need to save your energy. You're going to need them when the time comes. ” Doctor Qiao spoke again. ”Just breathe like how you were taught to do and don't panic. Your husband is with you. Mister Zhang, you need to continue and look at the opening. Wait until it was dilated to ten centimeters.”

”Ten centimeters,” Zhang Yu Han repeated slowly. Suddenly, his brain was unable to compute and he did not know how wide was ten centimeters.

”I've talked to the paramedics,” Qi Zheng's voice was heard. ”It seemed that there was a massive accident on the bridge and most of the paramedics were dispatched to help with the situation. I don't think that—”

Qi Zheng's words were left unfinished. His gaze met Doctor Qiao's warning gaze and he suddenly realized that the doctor was on the line. Zhang Yu Han had put his phone on loudspeaker and the couple should have heard his voice.

At this sudden realization, Qi Zheng began to panic. ”Uh… maybe I should head over there and ȧssist.”

”Wait. Qi Zheng, I'm coming with you.” Doctor Qiao took off her lab coat, grabbed a few necessary items, and head out to follow the young man. The phone continued to connect and Doctor Qiao continued to ȧssist the couple while giving a few motivational words.

”Argh!” Li Qin Yao shouted again as she gripped at the sofa with great strength. Her face was red and her nicely hair was now messy. Once the pain past, Li Qin Yao looked at her husband and sobbed.

”It's okay. It's going to be alright,” Zhang Yu Han coaxed. He grabbed a clean towel and wiped at his wife's face. ”Qi Zheng and Doctor Qiao are on their way. They will help us.”

”Zhang Yu Han,” Li Qin Yao sobbed. ”It hurts!”

The last time she gave birth to her daughter, Doctor Qiao had given her epidural to help with the pain. Right now, without the anesthetic, everything was too painful that she thought she was going to die.

”It's my fault,” Zhang Yu Han whispered a few times. He ċȧrėssed her face and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. ”Don't worry. I'm here with you.”
