You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 139

It had been such a long time since they last met, as if it had been a century.

The stewardess continued to announce the emergency, but no other doctors approached the lady.

The pregnant lady was getting anxious with time.

Bai Rong knelt in front of the pregnant lady and asked, “When was the last time you had your ultrasound?”

Gu Mingchen turned to Bai Rong. A hint of surprise flashed across his deep eyes. “It’s you?”

Bai Rong turned to Gu Mingchen firmly. “Four years ago, I was a gynecologist in a hospital in A City. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that both mother and baby are fine.”

Her words were uttered to reassure the pregnant lady. A safe labor was only easier if the mother was emotionally stable.

Lucky for them, those words were enough to calm the mother-to-be.

“I’ve just done it last week. The baby was fine in the right fetal position and there’s no umbilical cord around the neck, so the doctor proposed for natural childbirth instead of C-section.” Xue explained.

“Is this your first-time giving birth or second time?” Bai Rong asked calmly.

“It’s my sister’s first. Her husband is an American who happened to be abroad now, so I’m bringing her back home.” Gu Mingchen explained.

The girl turned to the man dubiously. She didn’t remember that man had a younger sister.

Maybe his cousin?

“The water is breaking now. Depending on the different conditions of the mother, the feeling of pain and the time needed to give birth can vary greatly, but it’s considered normal as long the child is out within 24 hours. Please help me carry her to the bed.” Bai Rong instructed based on her memory of her past profession.

Gu Mingchen carried the girl onto the airplane seat which was completely flattened like a bed.

“Now please get me two more stewardesses to help me. As for the rest, I can handle it. If you want to rest elsewhere, please go to C1. That’s my seat.” Bai Rong ordered the man coldly.

Gu Mingchen looked at her for a moment and walked out.

A while later, two stewardesses from A City came in.

“Is the plane equipped with things like anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers and scalpels used for operations?” Bai Rong inquired the stewardess.

“Yes. I’ll go get them now.” One of them answered and swiftly went out to get them.

“Please get me a clean and fully sanitized big towel and a basin of water. And also get me some chocolates.” Bai Rong instructed another stewardess.

“Doctor! Doctor, the pain! It’s so painful!” The pregnant lady shrieked anxiously.

Bai Rong sat beside and comforted the anxious lady. “This is your first time, that’s why you’re feeling worried. In fact, even if you’re in the hospital, you’ll also be lying like this now. Your family will be right beside you as you feel the baby struggling to come out of you. At this moment, your family will be away to get the doctors and nurses. There’s no need to be anxious with me around.”

“Doctor, how long will the pain last? Will I faint because of the pain? I saw on TV that giving birth naturally is always very painful!” The pregnant woman was drenched in sweat as she asked worriedly.

“Giving birth is definitely painful, but most importantly you need to face it with the right mindset. In fact, there are many people who prefer to give birth at home. They will invite the doctor to their home and get ready a tub of warm water. The pregnant woman will then lie inside the filled tub to lessen the pain.” Bai Rong explained with a smile, her expression totally relaxed.

The pregnant lady slowly relaxed once again.

“I’ve heard of such a story before. There was a baby who caused his mother so much pain when she gave birth to him, but then he was born with extraordinary strength and could even use a pair of scissors on his own. That’s why many people said the more painful the labor is, the more filial and successful is the child.” Bai Rong comforted the lady.

“Really? Thank you, doctor. I feel much better now.” The pregnant lady finally calmed down.

“Did you check whether the baby’s a boy or a girl?” Bai Rong tried to distract her.

“It’s a boy.” The lady replied with a sweet smile.

“I heard that mixed-blooded babies tend to be good-looking. Your child will definitely grow into a dashing boy. I just wonder whether he will look more like an American or an Asian. Whose look do you wish he will take after?” Bai Rong asked with a smile.

“I hope he takes after my brother, at least the boy will look handsome like him.” The lady answered with a grin.

“Well, there’s such a possibility too. After all, both of you have the same genes.”

“You’re such a nice doctor. The most patient one I’ve ever met.” The pregnant lady praised sincerely.

The stewardess came over with a first aid kit, which contained the scalpel, painkillers, hemostasis and anti-inflammatory drugs.

The other stewardess came back with a basin, a towel and a big pack of chocolates.

Bai Rong passed a piece of chocolate to the pregnant lady. “You need energy to give birth, especially during natural birth. Eat this to build your strength.”

“Thank you, doctor. Have you given birth before?”

Bai Rong smiled faintly. “I have, also by natural birth. But I was afraid of leaving a record in the hospital, so I gave birth alone in a room I rented.”

“That’s incredible!!” The lady was very impressed by the brave doctor and her confidence in Bai Rong soared.

She took a bite of the chocolate before crying out suddenly. “Oh my God, my tummy hurts! It’s so painful! I think I feel something coming out of me.”

“Let me have a look.” Bai Rong trimmed open the lady’s trousers and spread her legs. Blood was trickling out of her together with something black like strands of hair. “Your baby is coming out now. Don’t worry, I’ll help you. Now, push!”

“Ahhh!!!!!!”

The lady screamed as she pushed the baby out of her. Although the room was soundproof, Gu Mingchen could still hear the shrieks of the mother-to-be. The man frowned anxiously as he waited outside the room.

The process was very smooth. In half an hour’s time, the baby was out.

Bai Rong cut off the umbilical cord professionally and tied it up neatly before pulling out the placenta from the woman and placed it aside. Then, she continued to take care of the tired mother.

The baby boy’s cries filled the room. He had black hair and reddish skin. His features could not be seen clearly yet as his eyes were closed. His slightly compressed head was slowly recovering to its normal shape.

“Don’t move around yet. Let me settle the baby as you rest. I’ll be back with him soon.” Bai Rong instructed softly.

“Thank you, doctor.” The pregnant lady replied gratefully.

Bai Rong gave a light nod and left. She carried the baby with her and opened the door, only to see Gu Mingchen standing outside, his eyes boring into her.

“Chief, please help me to fill the basin with warm water.” Bai Rong ordered in a formal tone.

Gu Mingchen complied and filled the basin.

After testing the temperature, the doctor placed the baby inside.

The initially crying baby was suddenly quiet upon coming in contact with the water, like he had just fallen asleep.

Bai Rong continued to wash the baby boy endearingly.

“You left the prosecutor’s office, right?” Gu Mingchen asked. “I asked around about you.”

Bai Rong carried the baby and wrapped him in the towel without sparing a glance at Gu Mingchen. “We won’t stay put in one place forever in life. I want to go around and explore the world more thoroughly.”

“You look much better now. You didn’t look that good when we met 3 years ago.” Gu Mingchen stared at her with his brooding gaze.

Bai Rong smiled wordlessly and turned around with the baby. The man grabbed her arm instead, making the woman turn to meet his dark eyes…
