Chapter 29
Gong Sister-in-law jumped up in shock, "My water broke?"
Zhuang Auntie hurried over, lifted up her skirt, "Let me take a look..."
After a while she looked up, "Cui'er, call 120."
"The amniotic fluid broke..."
Gong Sister-in-law's face was as white as paper, "This...this..."
She hurried to open her phone and dialed 120, but was busy for a long time.
"What should we do now? Can't get through!"
She was anxiously pacing around.
Whether it was psychological or not, after hearing from Zhuang Auntie that her water indeed broke, Ding Sha suddenly felt the pain become more pronounced.
She was shaking from the pain, "Sister-in-law...sister-in-law, take my phone and go, there is a doctor's number for the maternity hospital in my phone, call her..."
"Oh, oh, I'll go right away!" Gong Sister-in-law hurriedly ran to Ding Sha's bedroom.
"Sha Sha, don't be nervous..." Zhuang Auntie held Ding Sha's hand to comfort her.
Perhaps because she was overly nervous, Ding Sha started bleeding.
Xiao Jun saw Gong Sister-in-law rush in with a pale face and sweat beading on her forehead, "What's wrong sister-in-law? Did something happen?"
"Is Sha Sha's phone here?" Gong Sister-in-law didn't have time to explain.
"It's over there." Xiao Jun pointed to the bedside table, "What happened?"
After Gong Sister-in-law took the phone, she hurried out. Hearing Xiao Jun's question, she trembled a little, "Little Xiao, Sha Sha's water broke..."
Xiao Jun was like being hit on the head with a club, "It's...it's not the due date yet..."
He got up from the bed, Gong Sister-in-law hurriedly stopped him, "Don't come out, little Xiao, you are still isolating, what if Sha Sha gets sick too..."
Xiao Jun froze in place, blinking as if digesting Gong Sister-in-law's words, "I...I can't go out..."
Xiao Jun, who was always opinionated and seemed impossible to stump, for the first time in front of her was like a helpless child, with red-rimmed eyes asking her, "Then I...what should I...I..."
He wanted to ask what he could do, he wanted to ask what he should do, he wanted to ask how Sha Sha was...
But when it came to his lips, he didn't know how to ask.
Gong Sister-in-law felt a little heartache, "I and auntie will definitely take good care of Sha Sha, don't worry too much."
She closed the door and left.
In fact, she was not confident in her heart either.
All the hospitals were overcrowded, and just knowing that emergency calls could not get through showed how difficult the hospital situation was.
Ding Sha took the phone and took deep breaths while dialing the doctor's number. She dialed several times but no one answered.
"She must be busy..." Ding Sha said, still continuously dialing.
He imagined countless times being by Ding Sha's side in the delivery room as she gave birth. He thought about kissing Ding Sha when the child was born, telling her the child would always rank second in his heart.
She was number one.
But...
But now he couldn't even step out this door.
He couldn't take her to the hospital, couldn't be with her.
He had abandoned her alone again at such a helpless moment.
Ding Sha leaned on her belly and walked to the curtain, didn't open it, just gently said, "Be good, wait for me and little PingAn to come back safely."
"When I get back, make me sweet potato noodles okay? I really want to eat it."
"Okay." Xiao Jun's voice was choked with sobs as he agreed.
"Then I'm going now," Ding Sha said, "see you soon."
Gong Sister-in-law took the car keys, and Zhuang Auntie gathered everything needed at top speed, dumping it all into a large bag and throwing it into the back seat.
Ding Sha buckled her seatbelt, "Luckily it's not far..."
She endured the increasingly obvious and intense pain. Soon, her inner thighs and legs were completely soaked through her thermal pants, and the car seats were soaked in blood.
Gong Sister-in-law was so anxious her eyes were red.
The streets were empty, Ding Sha drove with difficulty towards the maternity hospital.
At the hospital entrance, fully equipped Dr. Liu and little nurse were anxiously waiting with a gurney.
"Is the delivery room and ward ready?"
"We were able to clear a delivery room for one hour, but couldn't get a ward." The little nurse said helplessly.
"The hallways are all filled with patients too."
Dr. Liu thought for a moment, "Push her to my office then, it can't be anywhere else."
"Hope this delivery goes smoothly." Dr. Liu tried to ignore the lingering unease in her heart.
Soon the car arrived.
As soon as the car stopped, Dr. Liu went up to it, "Where's the pregnant woman? Where is she?"
Ding Sha undid her seatbelt and opened the door, "I'm...I'm here..."
Dr. Liu was shocked, "You drove the car?!"
She hurriedly worked with the others to lift Ding Sha onto the gurney.
Ding Sha stuffed the bloodstained bank card into Gong Sister-in-law's hand, "There's 20,000 yuan in this card, the password is 622627... ask Jun for more if it's not enough..."
Her hand went limp as soon as she finished speaking.
Seeing this, Dr. Liu hurriedly pushed her into the hospital, "The pregnant woman has fainted!"
