Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 493 - 486: Nervous
At this moment, Bai Yiran finally understood why it was said that women in ancient times went through a life-and-death ordeal when giving birth. Not to mention the intense pain, there were also various uncertain factors. Just the doctor’s remark about the child being too large and the umbilical cord wrapped around the neck would have been enough to claim a woman’s life when medical technology was undeveloped.
Once inside the operating room, Bai Yiran began to feel anxious. She hadn’t been overly nervous during the contractions earlier, but now, surrounded by doctors and nurses, she was extremely tense.
The doctor administered anesthesia, and Bai Yiran realized that the anesthesia for a cesarean isn’t general anesthesia, but rather local.
The surgery began, and Bai Yiran was conscious throughout, able to sense the doctor making an incision on her belly, aware of the doctor’s hands moving back and forth in her abdominal cavity, layer by layer cutting open the inside.
Except for the absence of pain, Bai Yiran could feel everything...
Outside the operating room, Leng Yichen seemed to finally regain his composure, and his face gradually showed expression.
His woman was undergoing suffering inside to give birth to his child, and Leng Yichen suddenly felt a bit guilty, thinking that he should have treated Bai Yiran even better, pampered her even more...
Having successfully quit smoking for a long time, Leng Yichen suddenly had a strong desire to smoke, as if it was the only way to alleviate his uncontrollable anxiety.
"Wang Hai, do you have a cigarette?" Leng Yichen’s voice was somewhat unstable.
Wang Hai rummaged through his pockets, just about to pull out a cigarette when Grandma hurriedly spoke up, "This is a hospital, why would you smoke?"
Leng Yichen hesitated slightly, giving up the idea of asking for a cigarette. He pressed his lips tightly together, eyes fixed on the door of the operating room.
Grandma stepped forward, her aging hand holding Leng Yichen’s, "Don’t be too nervous..."
Xia Lian glanced at the overly anxious Leng Yichen, "I say, Yichen, isn’t it just giving birth to a child? It’s not a big deal, is it? Which woman hasn’t given birth? What are you so tense about?"
Shortly after Grandma’s call, Cheng Gang arrived with Xia Lian and Cheng Shishi. Cheng Gang’s first question upon arrival was about Bai Yiran’s condition. Upon hearing that the baby was too large with the umbilical cord around its neck, Cheng Gang also became anxious, pacing back and forth at the doorway of the operating room.
Seeing Cheng Gang’s concern about Bai Yiran while ignoring her and Cheng Shishi at home, Xia Lian held onto pent-up anger.
Seizing the opportunity, she began to mock him.
Leng Yichen was already agitated, and hearing Xia Lian’s sarcastic tone, his expression became even gloomier.
"If you want to stay here, shut up, or go home." Uncle spoke coldly; why hadn’t he realized before that Xia Lian was so oblivious to the situation?
"You!" Xia Lian was indignant, about to retort when she encountered Leng Yichen’s icy gaze. Immediately, she gave up and didn’t dare to speak again.
Grandma glared angrily at Xia Lian, then turned to look comfortingly at Cheng Gang, "Enough, ignore her. This is a hospital, Yiran is still inside giving birth."
Cheng Shishi silently walked forward, holding Xia Lian’s hand, hoping to comfort her mother.
Xia Lian looked at Cheng Shishi, feeling a pang of bitterness. She vividly remembered her own cesarean when giving birth to Cheng Shishi; the whole family didn’t pay much attention to her. Cheng Gang was even at work and didn’t come back; only the old lady and her own family were present.
After knowing she had given birth to a girl, the old lady looked disappointed, leaving the hospital with a simple remark. Xia Lian still remembers this vividly, unable to forget.
Though the old lady later genuinely cared about Cheng Shishi, it was never as good as how she treated Bai Yiran.
Looking at the operating room, Xia Lian earnestly wished Bai Yiran would also give birth to a girl, so she could experience the neglect she had felt after giving birth to a girl.
