My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 998: Chapter 1002: Always Together

The people in the room quickly entered a state of readiness, with Almond and Bai Yan not skilled in medicine, only able to boil water and prepare food in the kitchen.

"Our Madam is a good person, she mustn’t encounter any mishaps!"

While tending the fire, Almond prayed.

Her Madam had helped so many people, it wouldn’t make sense for her to suffer.

"Don’t talk nonsense," Bai Yan hurriedly said. "Our Madam is destined for great fortune and is sure to be safe and sound."

"I’m just flustered," said Almond, "I don’t even know what I’m saying. I am willing to give up ten years of my life to ensure the safety of our Madam and the young master."

Almond spoke sincerely; her life had been saved by Madam, and so giving up those years was still to her benefit.

Bai Yan nodded too: "I’ll give five years."

The Madam had always treated her with respect, never as a servant, and five years was her way of saying thanks.

At that moment, in the birthing room.

The Medical Woman monitored Qiao Duo’er’s condition constantly, while Tan Zhenghong tightly grasped Duo’er’s hand.

"Wife, shout out if it hurts, or bite me if you need to," Tan Zhenghong said with concern, willing to do anything to alleviate his wife’s pain.

Qiao Duo’er grimaced: "Look at you, acting like a fool. This is nothing, I can hold on."

After all, she was a special agent; wouldn’t it be shameful to make a fuss over such pain?

And besides, not shouting would save her strength for now.

"Duo’er, it’s all my fault."

Tan Zhenghong knew that Duo’er was only trying to comfort him. No one was made of iron; how could it be possible not to fear pain?

So he felt very guilty, and the large man’s eyes reddened with emotion.

If only he had been more careful, Duo’er wouldn’t have to suffer like this.

Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes at Tan Zhenghong: "Idiot, our Little Treasure will be born very soon."

"All I want is for you to be safe," Tan Zhenghong said stubbornly.

"You’re about to be a father, don’t act like a child," Qiao Duo’er said, laughing.

Tan Zhenghong suddenly realized what his wife needed most was not his apology, but his encouragement.

Therefore, he said earnestly: "Duo’er, I will protect you and our baby from now on. You have to be strong, our family of three must stay together always."

"Okay," Qiao Duo’er nodded.

They were a family; without any of them, it wouldn’t be complete. So she and the baby would be fine.

"Fourth Master, the food is here; please feed the Madam quickly."

Almond delivered the food.

Qiao Duo’er clenched her teeth and ate two eggs, two pieces of boneless meat, and half a bowl of rice, which she hoped would sustain her until after the birth.

After only half an hour, Qiao Duo’er looked as if she had been fished out of water.

"Madam, the toughest part is over; just hold on a little longer."

Qing Xin said softly, knowing that dilating three centimeters was the hardest part for a woman giving birth for the first time, fortunately, their Madam had persevered.

"How much longer?" Tan Zhenghong asked anxiously.

It felt like a long time had passed; why hadn’t the baby come yet?

"Fourth Master, don’t worry; Madam is in good health, her attitude is positive, and she and the young master will be safe. It’s just that the first birth takes more time," Qing Yue reassured.

Tan Zhenghong’s brow remained furrowed; he hated that he could not bear the pain in place of Duo’er.

In the end, Qiao Duo’er was consumed entirely by pain; now she had only one thought—to quickly bring the Little thing into the world.

"Fourth Master, Madam’s bones are fully dilated, and it will not be long before the birth. Would you like to wait outside?"

Granny Su tentatively asked, knowing the birthing room was unclean and could affect a man’s fortune. Thus, other men shunned it, but Tan Zhenghong had not the slightest intention of leaving.
