Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 217 - 216: Amber Gives Birth
Grandma Sang moved into the residential compound just like that.
She’s quite adept at socializing. Within a few days, she made a lot of friends in the compound, both around her age and younger.
Gu Jia Ning returned to work in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department once more.
As soon as she arrived, patients flocked to her for treatment.
In contrast, the other two doctors in the department, Doctor Zhou and Dr. Lu, seemed relatively idle.
However, they didn’t feel jealous, considering Gu Jia Ning’s skills were evident.
Especially since Gu Jia Ning now holds a professorial title, while they’re only physicians.
They understand why patients prefer Gu Jia Ning for treatment.
If it were them, they’d also want the most skilled doctor for treatment if they fell ill.
They don’t envy her.
They’re just worried that Gu Jia Ning, with her big belly, might get exhausted.
Elder Chen shares the same worry. Upon arriving and seeing the long queue for Gu Jia Ning, while other doctors and departments seemed quiet.
He instantly felt that this wasn’t right.
Soon, changes were implemented.
Unless it’s an acute or severe condition, Gu Jia Ning attends to only those cases, while others are handled by the other doctors.
Although patients aren’t pleased, they surely don’t want Gu Jia Ning to overexert herself.
Eventually, they cooperated with the arrangements.
And Gu Jia Ning’s stress was immediately alleviated.
"Master, thank you," Gu Jia Ning took a moment to express her gratitude to Elder Chen.
"Silly girl, I’m your master after all."
Ever since Gu Jia Ning returned to work, Grandma Sang would occasionally bring freshly made snacks to her office for her to enjoy.
It’s like afternoon tea.
"Thank you, Grandma. I’ve been feeling hungry quite often these days."
Not sure if it’s because the two babies inside her need nourishment, Gu Jia Ning recently feels constantly hungry.
No matter how much she eats, she never feels full.
Recently, she’s been eating quite a lot.
Despite the quantity, except for her belly, the rest of her remains slim.
She’s worried whether eating too much might result in overly large babies.
Fortunately, the system assures her that due to the pills taken earlier, she won’t face such issues.
It encourages her to eat and provide more nutrition for the babies in her belly.
Gu Jia Ning scanned her belly and found the situation still manageable.
So she’s not as concerned anymore.
As a result, Gu Jia Ning has been eating quite a lot recently, while Grandma Sang occasionally brings her food.
As she eats, Gu Jia Ning thinks that her sister-in-law back home must be nearing delivery.
Perhaps it won’t be long before news arrives.
However, while there’s no news from home yet, there is news at her own place.
Of course, it’s not about her.
It’s Amber!
That night, while Gu Jia Ning was asleep, she suddenly heard Amber’s noise outside.
Listening carefully, she immediately woke up and got out of bed.
"What’s wrong?" Sheng Zexi woke up promptly as she did.
"Amber is probably going to give birth. I need to check on her."
"I’ll go with you."
"Alright."
Sheng Zexi got up first, casually put on a coat, then hurried to get clothes and a scarf and shoes for Gu Jia Ning.
"It’s cold at midnight, keep warm, don’t catch a cold," he warned while helping her dress.
"Yes, I know."
Once dressed, the couple left the room heading towards Amber’s location.
In the courtyard, Sheng Zexi had built a kennel for Amber.
In fear of Amber catching cold, Gu Jia Ning also padded it with lots of soft cotton fabric.
"Sister..."
As Gu Jia Ning stepped out, Amber, pacing around the courtyard, called out.
It’s normal for a mother dog to become agitated and pace frequently before birth.
However, when Gu Jia Ning appeared, Amber approached her.
With her big belly, Gu Jia Ning couldn’t bend over, but luckily Amber was big enough, so she could still touch her with a slight tilt.
Her hand gently stroked Amber’s back.
"Amber, how do you feel? Don’t worry, I’ll be here with you."
"Sister, thank you, I’m alright for now."
"Do you want to eat something?" Gu Jia Ning asked.
"I think I could eat a little."
"Alright."
Gu Jia Ning immediately asked Sheng Zexi to prepare some food.
Amber, initially a bit anxious, calmed down with Gu Jia Ning’s soothing presence.
Sitting by Gu Jia Ning’s side seemed to give her peace.
Knowing dogs can show aggression during birth or cling to owners, Amber seemed the latter.
Sheng Zexi was familiar with this and had been slightly worried.
But seeing Amber’s closeness to Gu Jia Ning, he relaxed and went to get food.
As Amber ate what Sheng Zexi prepared, after frequent urination, her muscles started contracting more often.
Gu Jia Ning knew Amber’s puppies were coming soon.
This time, Amber returned to her kennel to gather energy.
Alerted by the commotion, Grandma Sang also got up.
But Sheng Zexi sent her back to rest, considering her old age; it’s best not to strain herself late at night.
Amber’s delivery was quite quick.
Within half an hour, Amber birthed four puppies.
Two with alternating orange and white, one pure white, and another white with orange paws – the youngest, and the prettiest.
"Amber, you worked hard, rest well now." Since her big belly made it inconvenient, Gu Jia Ning could only direct Sheng Zexi to clean Amber and the puppies.
Feeling refreshed, Amber, exhausted, fed the puppies and fell asleep deeply.
Right then, the system’s voice sounded in her mind
[Congratulations to the host for successfully assisting Amber in delivery. You earn: 100 points, 10 Animal Vitality & Intelligence Pills.]
Hmm?
There’s even a reward!
Currently, Gu Jia Ning has thousands of points, increasing daily with the growing number of patients she treats.
She’s grown accustomed to the points increment.
Now, these pills...
Are they specially for animals?
For enhancing intelligence and strength?
Thinking about this, while Sheng Zexi was away fetching water, she took out 5 pills.
One pill per dog, slipping them into their mouths.
"Hoping these pills make you healthier, stronger, and smarter."
According to Amber, her puppies are meant to guard her children someday.
Gu Jia Ning knows with her body and fertility, future children won’t be scarce.
