Alpha's Unexpected Heir

Chapter 841: Chapter 829: Suddenly Going Into Labor! As they cout of the baby toy store, Qiao Jing and Lin Xiuxiang walked down the mall corridor.

"If I'm not mistaken, you have two weeks until your due date, right?" Lin Xiuxiang looked at Qiao Jing's prominently protruding belly and earnestly reminded her, "This last period is very critical, you need to be extra careful about everything, don't let anything slip through the cracks." Seeing how serious she was, Qiao Jing couldn't help but chuckle lightly, "Did you forget that I'm a doctor? I'm well aware of my own physical condition." "But you, you really need to be cautious about what you eat and what you avoid; if you eat the wrong thing, anything could happen..." Qiao Jing started advising Lin Xiuxiang on the things to watch out for during pregnancy.

After listening, Lin Xiuxiang nodded, "Got it, I will be careful." She then added, "But I still have a month until my due date, isn't it a bit early to start worrying?" "Not at all early." Qiao Jing shook her head slowly, "Is there a huge difference between one month and two weeks?" "Moreover, sometimes the due date may not be completely accurate-early or late delivery can happen." "Seems like that's true, I've heard about this..." "Oh-" Halfway through speaking, Lin Xiuxiang suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable in her stomach, and immediately clutched it with a pained expression.

Seeing this, Qiao Jing immediately thought of something and quickly reached out to support her, "What's wrong? Could it be you're going into labor?" Seeing Lin Xiuxiang's condition, Qiao Jing suspected she might be having preterm labor.

Lin Xiuxiang furrowed her brow tightly and struggled to speak, "I, my stomach hurts, I think... I think I'm going into labor..." "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital right away, it's going to be alright." While calming Lin Xiuxiang's emotions, Qiao Jing took out her phone to call an ambulance.

She calmly reported the mall's address and briefly explained Lin Xiuxiang's situation.

Soon after she made the call, the ambulance arrived at the scene.

The medical staff carried Lin Xiuxiang onto a stretcher, and Qiao Jing followed her onto the vehicle.

On the way to the hospital, Qiao Jing suddenly remembered something.

She hadn't notified Tang Yan! Lin Xiuxiang is going to give birth-how can the father of the child not be there? With this thought, she quickly called Tang Yan.

At that moment, Tang Yan was driving towards the mall, with Zhan Qipei sitting in the back seat. Although he had just spoken with Qiao Jing over the phone, Zhan Qipei still couldn't calm down, unable to concentrate on work, nor read any documents.

So, he eventually paused his work and cout to find Qiao Jing.

Receiving a call from Qiao Jing, Tang Yan's first reaction was that something had happened to Lin Xiuxiang. There was no reason for Qiao Jing to call him if it wasn't about Lin Xiuxiang being in trouble.

The thought startled Tang Yan and he instinctively slammed on the brakes.

The car stopped abruptly, but fortunately, Zhan Qipei reacted quickly and steadied himself against the front seat, avoiding a collision.

Glancing up, he saw Tang Yan hastily picking up his phone from the dashboard, and he asked with a slight frown, "What's happened? Who's calling?" "It's the young madam." Tang Yan replied briefly and without saying more, pressed to answer the call, turning on the speakerphone.

Qiao Jing's voice cfrom the phone, "Xiuxiang is showing symptoms of preterm labor, we're on the ambulance heading to the hospital, you better cquickly." "Preterm?! Xiuxiang is going into labor!" Tang Yan was both shocked and confused upon hearing the news, not knowing what to do.

"Yes, we're arriving at the hospital, I won't say much more." With those words, Qiao Jing swiftly ended the call.

Recovering himself, Tang Yan tossed his phone aside, quickly turned his car around, and sped towards the hospital.

He floored the gas pedal, driving fast, clutching the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned slightly white. Clearly, he was anxious and very worried.

Also a soon-to-be father, Zhan Qipei could understand Tang Yan's current mood.

He rarely spoke up to comfort Tang Yan, "Stay calm, don't panic, this is the tnot to panic; once we reach the hospital, there'll be plenty of medical staff around, it will be fine." Zhan Qipei's voice seemed to have a magical quality, providing reassurance.

With his consolation, Tang Yan gradually regained his composure.

Soon, the two arrived at the hospital.

As soon as the car stopped, Tang Yan hurriedly got out and rushed towards the maternity ward.

Zhan Qipei followed suit.

Reaching the entrance of the delivery room, they found no sign of Qiao m Jing, making Zhan Qipe anxious, a nurse to ask, quickly stopping a "Have you seen Doctor Qiao? She cto the hospital with a pregnant woman just now."

"Yes, I did." The nurse nodded then raised her hand to point to the tightly closed delivery room door, Doctor Qad is inside assisting the delivery of that pregnant woman." Hearing this, Zhan Qipei's expression changed instantly, becoming just as anxious, losing the composure he had when comforting Tang Yan earlier.

"Assisting delivery? Doesn't your hospital have obstetricians, why have her assisting in delivery? Can't you see she's pregnant too, close to giving birth herself?!" His wife has two weeks to go until delivery, asking a soon-to-be mother to assist in a preterm delivery is that reasonable?!!!

The nurse was startled by Zhan Qipei's intense expression, swallowing nervously andstammered, "It was Doctor Qiao's own idea, actually we tried to stop her, but we couldn't..." Zhan Qipei frowned deeply, silently staring at the closed door of the delivery room, worry nearly breaking through his eyes.

In truth, he understood that with Qiao Jing's skills, assisting in delivery even while pregnant wouldn't be difficult, yet he couldn't help worrying.

Her every move easily influenced his emotions, beyond his control...

Beside him, Tang Yan's nervousness was evident as he clutched his hands tightly, pacing back and forth.

People say preterm labor can be serious, the risks can't be underestimated; once things spiral out of control, they could lose both mother and child at any moment...

Thinking of these possibilities made Tang Yan increasingly anxious.

He cared about nothing else now, only pleading for the safety of his wife and child! Outside the delivery room, both men were waiting anxiously.

They felt as though the waiting tdragged on, each minute and second stretched, feeling like eternity.

After waiting for about half an hour, the door of the delivery room finally opened.

The medical staff assisting the delivery cout first.

Qiao Jing followed them out.

She had already removed her doctor's coat and taken off her mask and gloves by then.
