Chapter 1266: Chapter 964: 20 Bones Fractured Simultaneously

By the evening, Xiao Su’s abdominal pain slowly intensified. Yang Ping stayed by her side, suggesting a cesarean section to reduce her suffering. He felt a deep ache for Xiao Su inside, predicting that the pain would continue until dawn before the baby would be born.

A trace of a smile appeared on Xiao Su’s face, "It’s okay, childbirth is a necessary experience for a woman. If I can have a natural birth, I want to try, you don’t have to worry about me."

"How about using painless childbirth?" Yang Ping still couldn’t bear seeing her in pain.

Xiao Su shook her head, "No need, natural is best. Although theoretically, painless childbirth doesn’t have any side effects, it is still anesthesia after all. There will be some drugs that enter the child’s body through the mother-infant circulation. Some things are hard to draw correct conclusions about in the short term."

"You don’t have to worry about me. Didn’t you say the baby could come out by six in the morning? Let’s just hold on a little longer," Xiao Su tried to keep her expression light.

All night, Xiao Su endured wrenching pain, with Yang Ping by her side, clutching her hand tightly to give her a sense of security.

Yang Ping’s prediction was accurate; a few minutes after six the next morning, Xiao Su gave birth to a baby boy, weighing more than eight pounds, with both mother and child safe and sound.

Yang Ping had offered to accompany her in the delivery room, but Xiao Su wouldn’t let him, telling him not to worry and to wait outside. So all Yang Ping could do was wait anxiously outside the delivery room.

As a doctor, Yang Ping knew Xiao Su was healthy and the risk of complications during childbirth was extremely low under modern medical conditions. However, even as one of the world’s best surgeons, who could remain exceptionally calm and rational in front of any high-risk, high-difficulty surgery, he felt uneasy and anxious standing outside the delivery room.

It was as if everything he was facing was beyond his control, filling him with fear.

It wasn’t until he heard the baby’s cries and the midwife came out with the child, announcing that mother and child were safe, that Yang Ping’s suspended heart was finally put at ease.

Director Chen Xiaoqiao and the midwife simply couldn’t understand how Yang Ping knew the child would be born around six o’clock. Even with their extensive experience, they couldn’t achieve such accuracy. Could Yang Ping really communicate with the fetus, and could the fetus really understand him? Was it truly miraculous?

In truth, what lies behind mysticism is also science, simply the science that has yet to be grasped. To Director Chen Xiaoqiao and the midwife, it was the ungrasped science, but to Yang Ping, it was already masterable science. Through the records of the contractions in the medical history, he could accurately predict the time of the child’s birth.

This kind of deduction is also common in obstetrics, but traditional methods are often imprecise. Hence, Yang Ping improved the method, deciding that when he had the time, he would teach it to Director Chen and the midwife as thanks for their help.

The baby brought out by the midwife was Yang Ping’s son. Now that he had a son, he was unavoidably excited. After the excitement passed, Yang Ping sent out the happy news to friends and family.

Outside the delivery room, in addition to Yang Ping, were the members of the support team—Tang Fei, Zhou Can, Qiu Nuo, Ning Qi, Wang Jiahui, Head Nurse Cai, and others. Yang Ping intended to bond with his son, but the crowd surged forward and jostled him out of the way.

Next, Xiao Su was wheeled out, and with everyone crowding around her, she was taken to the VIP ward. The VIP obstetric delivery room and ward were on the same floor, very convenient.

Having just given birth to a son and possibly lost a lot of blood, Xiao Su’s complexion wasn’t very good. Typically rosy, her face now was noticeably pale. Seeing Xiao Su like this tugged at Yang Ping’s heartstrings.

Yang Ping firmly grasped Xiao Su’s hand, stroking her forehead with his hand. Both her hand and forehead were a bit cold and covered with sweat, signs that her body temperature had dropped due to blood loss. Through Yang Ping’s worried gaze, Xiao Su seemed to read his concern and reassured him, "It’s alright, it’s just some blood loss. You’re a professor and understand better than me that the human body has the ability to form blood. This is just an opportunity to exercise my blood-forming abilities; I’ll recover in a few days."

Even at this moment, Xiao Su was still smiling, her dimples ever so charming. Modern medicine has advanced, but in ancient times, childbirth was like passing through the gates of death, with a very high risk of complications.

A mother’s greatness is beyond imagination; for the birth of new life, they not only endure the hardships of pregnancy and the intense pain of delivery but also risk their lives to greet the arrival of a new life.

"Rest well, you’ve worked hard," Yang Ping said, moved.

Xiao Su clutched Yang Ping’s hand, "It’s okay, don’t worry."

"Did it hurt a lot?" Yang Ping looked at Xiao Su at that moment and, somehow, felt she was more beautiful and gentle than ever.

"The pain is just for a moment. Besides, we’ll have to go through this a few more times, what’s there to worry about?" Xiao Su said casually.

"Professor, you keep holding your wife’s hand, not even helping to push the cart," Tang Fei reminded from the side.

It turned out that while holding Xiao Su’s hand in conversation, Yang Ping’s other hand on the cart was forgotten, inadvertently making him an impeding force instead of helping to push. Tang Fei had to give him a nudge.

"Let him take care of his wife," Zhou Can suddenly put more effort into pushing the cart, making it rattle along. She regarded Xiao Su as a sister and didn’t want anyone to disturb the sisterly chat with her brother-in-law.

"Was it really painful?" Zhou Can asked curiously.

Before Xiao Su could answer, Tang Fei responded, "Level ten pain, equivalent to the pain of 20 bones fracturing simultaneously."

"That intense, 20 bones fracturing at once? There’s the option of painless childbirth, and even Cesarean section. When I have children, I won’t go for natural birth, it’s too painful. Look at Sister Xiao Su, her face is all sweat. A Cesarean section is so comfortable; you’re fully anesthetized, lying on the operating table without feeling anything. You don’t know what’s happening, then suddenly the baby is lying next to you, crying. I’m definitely choosing a Cesarean section," Zhou Can shivered involuntarily upon hearing about the pain.
