The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 1498: Chapter 1498 Heavy Bleeding

In the following days, Jian Dan would go to the hospital during the day and only return home at night.

Chu Liyuan was unusually cheerful these days; after all, certain concerns within the base didn’t exist at home.

Just as he was about to do something mischievous, Jian Dan’s phone suddenly and untimely rang.

Under Chu Liyuan’s darkened glare, Jian Dan picked up the phone. "Hello~"

"Jian, she’s about to give birth! She’s in labor!" The anxious voice came from the other end.

"Uncle Simiao, slow down. Who’s in labor?"

"Both of them! Both are in labor! Sizhe is already in the operating room prepping."

"What? Both?" Jian Dan quickly sat up. "Don’t worry, I’m heading over right now..."

She hung up the phone and immediately met Chu Liyuan’s rather unkind gaze.

"Big guy, big guy, don’t be like that! This is a special situation, okay? Don’t be angry, please?" Jian Dan cupped Chu Liyuan’s cheeks with both hands as she spoke softly.

"I’ll drive you there~" Chu Liyuan agreed, albeit reluctantly.

"I knew my big guy was the best! Love you to death, mwah~" Jian Jian gave Chu Liyuan a big peck on his cheek.

The couple drove to the hospital, where Shang Simiao and Grandpa Shang were waiting outside the delivery room.

"How’s everything going?"

"Little Jian is here too. Still nothing yet. They’ve been inside for quite some time, and we’re not sure how things are going." Grandpa Shang’s face was full of worry.

"Grandpa Shang, no need to worry. Everything will be fine, and besides, Sizhe is in there, isn’t he?"

"Little Jian is right. It’ll be okay!"

"Mm!"

At that moment, the door of the delivery room was pushed open. "Who’s the family of Chen Xirui?" A nurse walked out carrying a newborn.

"That’s me!" Shang Simiao excitedly stepped forward.

"Congratulations, it’s a boy!" The nurse handed the baby to Shang Simiao.

Unexpectedly, usually composed Uncle Simiao was visibly flustered, his posture awkward as he held the newborn.

"You’re holding the baby wrong—better let me!" Grandpa Shang impatiently took his eldest grandson from Shang Simiao’s hands, his face lighting up with unabashed joy. "Baby, I’m your great-grandpa! Great-grandpa!"

"Excuse me, may I ask about the other mother’s condition?"

The nurse’s expression changed for the worse. "Her situation isn’t looking good."

"What do you mean by ’not good’?" Jian Dan frowned and asked.

The joyful atmosphere instantly dissipated. Both Grandpa Shang and Shang Simiao’s faces darkened. "What happened?"

"We discovered a sizable cyst in her uterus. During delivery, the fetus ruptured it, causing severe bleeding. She’s already been sent to the operating room."

"What? How could this happen?"

Jian Dan fell into thought. A cyst? Could it have gone undetected in previous checkups?

She thought back to what Yuanyuan had told her a few days ago—that she was scared. Could she have known?

Jian Dan dared not think further. At this moment, she could only hope Yuanyuan was alright.

Xi Rui had been moved from the delivery room to recovery, and Shang Simiao stayed behind to care for her. The others waited anxiously outside the operating room.

The two-hour wait felt longer than two centuries.

Finally, the operating room light dimmed, and the doors opened. Sizhe stepped out, holding a baby in his arms.

"How’s Yuanyuan? Is she okay?" Sizhe handed the baby to Grandpa Shang, his body visibly drained. Without Chu Liyuan’s support, he might have collapsed on the spot.

"What do you mean? What’s wrong with Yuanyuan?" Jian Dan grabbed Sizhe’s arm, her voice frantic.

Sizhe didn’t respond.

Jian Dan grabbed Sizhe’s shoulders with both hands, shaking him vigorously. "Say something! What happened to Yuanyuan?"

Jian Dan felt her heart lodged in her throat, desperate for an answer.
