Chapter 977 - The Baby Is Delivered Safely

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Hao watched Lin Qiao’s stomach squirm intensely. He paused briefly with surprise, then realized what was happening. Then, he turned his head, and as he thought, he saw Lin Qiao’s cervix dilated quickly, and a stream of transparent liquid flowing out.

“Sis… You, you… The baby is even more impatient than you are!” He didn’t even know what to do at the moment.

Well, the baby was in a perfect position, so no adjustment was needed. Now, Lin Qiao had to start pushing hard. She needed to do it on her own.?‘Right, I got to give her something to bite on,‘ Lin Hao thought.

Lin Qiao sensed a tearing pain coming from her lower body, as if her pelvis was tearing apart. It hurt so much that her limbs were limp and her mind wasn’t even clear. She got herself together and bit on a towel roll. Viney’s voice had been echoing in her mind—‘Mama, come on! Ouch… It hurts…’

‘Is it you or me who is suffering the pain?’ Lin Qiao complained silently.

“Push! Push!” Lin Hao stood by her side and said to her, “You don’t need the air, but you should still breathe. It’ll ease the pain and raise your tolerance.”

Lin Qiao had no other choices but to follow his instructions. She breathed deeply with her nose, then slowly let exhaled through her mouth.

“When you inhale, gather your strength in your lower part and squeeze the baby out,” Lin Hao stood between her legs and said to her with his eyes fixed on her cervix.

Lin Qiao bit on the towel roll and clenched on the armrests on both sides of the obstetric table, causing them to even distort. The pain coming from her lower abdomen made her want to die as she felt a hard object trying to make a way out of her womb.

“I’m going to cut you,” Lin Hao suddenly said to her.

Lin Qiao had no strength to respond to him at that moment. She bit the towel so hard that her veins even bulged under her skin. She felt as if her mind was drifting away from her body, yet she had only one thought left in her head, that was pushing Viney’s head out of her body.

As Lin Hao’s voice faded, she sensed a slight pain from between her legs. Compared with the severe labor pain, that was not even worth mentioning. Lin Hao gave her episiotomy to enlarge the opening because the baby’s hard and dark head was already coming out.

Thick, dark-red blood flowed out of that small wound and soon stained the baby’s head. Lin Hao was wearing gloves, so he wasn’t worried that he might accidentally expose his skin to Lin Qiao’s blood.

“Come on, come on! Push harder! Harder! The baby is coming out! Harder! Harder!” Seeing the baby’s head, Lin Hao shouted at Lin Qiao with excitement. That was the hardest part. As long as the baby’s head came out, the rest would be easy.

“Mm… Eh!” Lin Qiao closed her eyes tightly. At last, she uttered a scream from her throat. At the same time, she gathered all her strength in her lower body.

Puff! Following a muffled noise, she felt that her lower body was no longer pressed tight, and also that her body seemed to fall apart. But soon, she sensed that something was stuck in her body.

Lin Hao instantly supported the baby’s head with his palm, then started to pull the baby outward with both hands carefully. Meanwhile, he squeezed some sticky liquid out of the baby’s mouth, and said, “Don’t relax! The baby’s body hasn’t come out yet! I’ll count from one to three, and you’ll push again!”

Then, he started counting, “One, two, three!” He gently pulled the baby outward in the meantime. Following his voice, Lin Qiao pushed again, and finally pushed the baby out of her body.

Only after that did both of them finally sigh with relief. Lin Hao was covered in sweat at the moment; his face mask and scrub cap were both soaked.

In his hands was a bluish pale, wrinkled little person. His moist hair were stuck on his scalp, making him look really not so pretty!

But still, Lin Hao was so happy. He neatly cut the umbilical cord and clamped it, then lay the baby on a towel with both hands. After that, he wiped the baby’s body with a sterilized, wet towel while saying, “Great, it’s a chubby boy!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lin Qiao was lying there weakly, having dropped the towel from her mouth. Hearing what Lin Hao said, she was confused at first. A few seconds later, she abruptly turned around with surprise.

“What did you say? A boy?” Her voice was hoarse, maybe because she was exhausted.

“Em, yeah, a boy. He looks healthy. But, why isn’t he crying?” Lin Hao wiped the baby, then gently patted him on his little butt. However, the baby made no reaction.

Lin Hao looked at the little boy while thinking. He had spread his arms and was kicking his little legs. His eyes were still closed, but judging from his kicking little legs, he was quite energetic.

Lin Qiao didn’t notice Lin Qiao’s strange tone of speaking.

Lin Qiao first gave Lin Hao a glance with surprise, then turned to the baby on the bed, who was kicking his legs. Abruptly, she burst into laughter.

“Hahaha! Viney, have you heard that? Your uncle said that you’re a boy! It turned out that you are a boy!” She said knowingly.

Lin Hao turned to look at her with confusion. He didn’t understand why she said that.

What was going on? She was clearly talking to the baby. The baby was only a few minutes old. There was no way that he could understand his mother. But somehow, Lin Qiao seemed to believe that the baby was able to understand her.

And…

“You named him Viney? Why did you give him a girl’s name?” Lin Hao bewilderedly wrapped the baby up with the towel, then put him in Lin Qiao’s arms.

Lin Qiao looked ghastly pale at the moment, as if she was suffering from a serious illness. However, she laughed relaxedly and said, “He named himself.”

Lin Hao walked to between her legs, prepared to help her remove the placenta. Hearing what she said, he was stunned a little. “He’s still a baby. How could he name himself?”

He didn’t believe that at all.

Lin Qiao gave a smile and said, “You can ask him yourself in the future.”

Picturing the baby have a sour face when people called him Viney, Lin Qiao couldn’t stop laughing wickedly in her head.

Lin Hao pressed his lips together, as he didn’t want to continue that conversation. He removed the placenta and checked her wound. He was going to stitch the wound, but found that it was not necessary.

“Eh? I didn’t know that your body has such a great self-healing capacity!” He said with surprise.

The lateral episiotomy wound was already half-way healed. He didn’t even need to put stitches into that wound.
