It took them twenty minutes to get to the hospital while breaking plenty of traffic rules but at this point, Jie didn’t care at all. He had given his permission to the driver since all that mattered to him was Xu Mey and her safety.
While Xu Mey was pushed inside the hospital room, Jie had to wait outside. He was pacing back and forth anxiously while trying to peek inside the room. He couldn’t hear a single thing from inside and it made him even more apprehensive and jittery.
Soon, the doctor came out and informed him, "Mr. Zhu, your wife is fine."
"She isn’t in labor?" He asked apprehensively.
The female doctor smiled and shook her head. "No. Not just yet. This was a false alarm."
But Jie’s face didn’t ease up at all as he said, "But her due date has already passed two days ago. What’s taking this long?"
"This is very normal in pregnancies. You don’t have to worry about it this much. Just take proper care of her." The doctor tried to calm his jittery nerves.
"Can’t you give her something? She’s already in this much pain. How will she bear with it for any longer?" Jie was scared since this time, Xu Mey’s pale face had really gotten stuck in his mind. He was sure it will haunt him for a long time. Pregnancy sure wasn’t easy but now seeing it with his own eyes, he was even more scared for Xu Mey.
The doctor stifled her laughter as he saw him acting like an impatient person and said, "Mr. Zhu, it’s not in our hands. We can’t possibly hasten this process. Can we now?"
Jie wanted to argue some more but right at that time, Xu Mey was wheeled out of the room in a wheelchair. Jie immediately went up to her and kneeled down. "Baby, are you okay? Does it still hurt?"
Xu Mey held his trembling hand and smiled to reassure him. "Ah-Jie, we are fine. Both me and our little bun. Stop being so anxious, it doesn’t suit you at all." Jie didn’t really care at all about his image. Why would he care about a superficial thing like image or reputation when his baby was hurting? And he couldn’t possibly share her pain in any way. This was truly unfair! "And stop arguing with the doctor. She can’t possibly pull this bun out on her own accord."
"Why not? She’s a doctor. She should be able to do this much." He was being stubborn which was quite rare considering his personality of being rational in every situation. But right now, the matter involved his wife and there was no way that he was planning on being rational.
Xu Mey laughed softly and said, "Ah-Jie, she’s a doctor. Not God. Stop pressurizing her. It’s not her fault that our little bun doesn’t want to part with his mother." She was truly amused to see Jie like this. Who knew this person was capable of acting this cute!
Jie caressed her protruding belly and said, "This little bun is certainly being naughty then. You better stop hurting my baby." He reprimanded with a lot of care and love in his voice and his eyes. Then he shifted back to the doctor who was smiling up to them and asked, "Are you sure that there is no serious problem?"
The doctor nodded her head, "I am absolutely sure. Mrs. Zhu, you should follow the exercises that I just told you. It’ll help to ease up your pain and it’ll also help with contractions."
"Thank you, doctor." Both husband and wife showed their gratitude with a small bow.
"I guess we should go back home," Jie said as he went behind her to help her with the wheelchair.
"Ah-Jie, let’s go to a park."
"Why?"
"I suddenly want to see those tiny little kids playing around." Seeing her giddy with this idea, he naturally couldn’t refuse. She had weird wishes in these months but he always obliged just to see her smile. Going to a park wasn’t really a big deal at all.
"Okay. As my wife commands." Xu Mey giggled at his tone since he seemed even suaver than Sabastian while acting like a butler. Her Ah-Jie might not be a devil but he was certainly the man who asked for her heart and she was that foolish girl, who presented it to him.
But she didn’t even realize that in all of this process, Jie was someone who presented all that he had along with his soul to her without her even asking for it. He was someone who cherished her the most and he was also someone, who planned on being a part of her for the rest of the life to come.
He loved holding her hand then how could he bear to leave it?
