After John parked the car, he went upstairs with Lydia and Auntie Chang in a hurry.
Lydia called James and learnt which floor he was on. However, she saw James standing in the corridor anxiously as soon as she went up, and she asked, "Where is Elizabeth? Why are you here alone?"
James frowned, "The doctor said that they needed to give her a simple check-up first and listen to baby's heartbeat." He was anxious, but the doctor did not let Elizabeth enter the delivery room quickly.
When he was on the ambulance just now, Elizabeth felt more and more painful. The doctor gave her a simple examination and said that her cervical orifice had opened and she was going to give birth to the child.
When he was at home, he might be more excited and happy. But when he heard the exact news on the ambulance, he was not so expectant. He was just worried and distressed about Elizabeth in his heart.
Perhaps she was really too painful, so she couldn't help but scream, which really tortured his heart.
"Is she in labour?"
"Yep." James nodded, "The doctor said so."
Words couldn't describe how Lydia felt at this time. In short, she was in a dilemma. On the one hand, she was worried about Elizabeth. On the other hand, she was excited and happy because she would see her grandchild soon.
"Do they do the check- up in the delivery room?"
"No, they went somewhere else."
Lydia immediately frowned, "Why did they go somewhere else? Let them move all the things to the delivery room. If they go back and forth like this, won't Elizabeth feel more uncomfortable?" What was wrong with the doctors?
John had experienced such a thing, so he persuaded her, "Lydia, don't worry. Some things are portable, but some are very heavy. They're not so easy to move. You once gave birth to Jimmy before. Do you forget it?"
"It seems... you're right. I'm just too high-strung, aren't I?"
"I know. So, let's just wait here. I think Elizabeth will come here soon."
About half an hour later, Elizabeth was pushed out by a hospital bed, and they immediately went forward.
Elizabeth's face was a little pale at this time, and she looked very weak.
"Honey..." James said, and he felt extremely distressed for her. He didn't know what to say.
Elizabeth didn't respond. She just smiled at him feebly.
Although she felt so painful as if her ribs had been broken, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was not because she could finally give birth to the baby, but because she hadn't had rupture of membrane.
Lydia took Elizabeth's hand, "Elizabeth, it's okay. Don't be afraid. We are all here."
"Mm..."
Dr. Shen was just a family doctor that John hired, and he was not a the doctor in this hospital. The doctor was surnamed Tang, and James had seen him many times.
At this time, he said to James, "Mr. Lu, I told you before that you could accompany her to give birth to the baby. Do you... want to go in?"
James nodded without thinking, "Yes!"
In the past, Dr. Tang mentioned this matter and told James that the pregnant woman would feel better if her husband could accompany her in the delivery room.
At that time, James said that he would go in. Although he could not share some of her pain, giving birth to a child was a big thing. She felt so painful. If she went in alone and surrounded by strangers, what could she do if she was afraid?
Moreover, she was just in her early twenties. If she hadn't met him, she would be a free college student. How could she go through such a painful process so early?
