Contract Marriage: Boss, Let's divorce-Chapter 941 - 940: No Turning Back (Part 8)

She didn’t know whether it was because someone was more nervous and anxious than she was that her own tension and worry were overshadowed by his, gradually calming her emotions even to the extent that her belly didn’t feel as painful.

After the doctor finished instructing Shi Che, he left the ward, and Shi Che walked to the bedside, sat down, and gently stroked her forehead with his palm, wiping away her sweat. Then, he held her hand and spoke in a voice as soft as could be, "Chuxia, how are you feeling now? Are you uncomfortable?"

Ling Chuxia nodded slowly.

Shi Che’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed. He could handle any situation for Ling Chuxia, but bringing a child into the world was something beyond his power.

Seeing Shi Che’s expression, Ling Chuxia couldn’t help but let out a gentle laugh, "Oh, look at you, I’m just having a baby, but you’re turning into a little old man."

Ling Chuxia lightly raised her hand, her fingers softly touching Shi Che’s eyebrows, gently smoothing out each wrinkle, and she softly said, "It was quite painful and a bit frightening at first, but with you by my side, I don’t feel pain or fear anymore."

It’s only natural to have various emotions during the first childbirth. On the way to the hospital, she was also filled with anxiety and all sorts of distracting thoughts. But upon seeing Shi Che and feeling his tension, his warmth, her heart gradually settled.

What is there to fear? Shi Che is here with her.

Soon, their child would be born, and soon she would be able to see her child. She wondered what it would look like. Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but want to deliver it right then and there.

Ling Chuxia’s fingers seemed to have a magical power, as they smoothed Shi Che’s frowning features, they likewise soothed his heart, calming his anxious, pounding heart and gradually bringing him peace.

His hand held Ling Chuxia’s hand, unable to resist kissing the palm of her hand.

His dark eyes fixed on her, the corners of his lips slightly lifted, his lips moved gently, "I will always stay by your side."

Ling Chuxia tilted her head slightly and blinked her big eyes, "Then... will you accompany me into the delivery room?"

"I can." Without much hesitation, Shi Che replied straight away.

Ling Chuxia burst into laughter, her red lips pouting slightly as she shook her head, "No, you can’t accompany me into the delivery room, I don’t want you to see me looking all ugly."

Having said that, she gently pushed Shi Che’s chest, her slender fingers poked him lightly, "You, just obediently wait outside for me and the baby."

Ling Yunshu heard the phone ring while she was in the depths of a nightmare. She was conscious, but her hands and feet couldn’t move, her body immobilized as if something was weighing it down. She desperately wanted to open her eyes, desperately wanted to speak, but it felt like someone was covering her eyes, squeezing her throat, the more she struggled, the more suffocated she felt.

She unconsciously let out a painful moan, which sounded particularly eerie and frightening in the silent dark night.

The phone rang again and again, eventually rousing Ling Yunshu from her nightmare. She suddenly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling for a while before turning her head to look at the phone beside her, its screen lit up, with the name flashing repeatedly.

It was a call from a nurse at the hospital.
