Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive - Chapter 747
Chapter 747: I Couldn’t Live with Myself
After a series of medical checks, the doctors were certain that Ling Tianya was going into labor. Although her due date was still a week away, her baby was at full-term. Her child was well-developed and she could deliver at any moment now.
However, the baby’s presentation was not yet cephalic, partly due to the fact that Ling Tianya had been on bed rest for a while and hadn’t been able to walk around much.
A normal vaginal birth was not possible if the baby wasn’t in the right position. They had to arrange for a cesarean section for Ling Tianya. Ruan Zeyan was sweating as he watched Ling Tianya writhe in pain on the hospital bed.
Ruan Zeyan wasn’t afraid of death himself and could usually look at life in an objective, collected manner. However, at this moment, he couldn’t calm his mind and heart.
When the doctor handed him the consent form to be signed for the operation, he could barely hold the pen. It was the first time he had experienced anything like this. His hands were shaking as he signed the consent form.
Ling Tianya’s contractions had subsided for the time being, and she was lying on the hospital bed. She giggled as she watched Ruan Zeyan struggle to sign the consent form.
When he heard her laugh, Ruan Zeyan relaxed his tense shoulders. He walked forward and took hold of her hands. “How are you doing now? Does your stomach still hurt?”
Ling Tianya reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. “Not at the moment. You always told me not to be afraid. Why are your hands shaking now? If someone else saw you, they might laugh at you.”
“Who would dare to laugh at me?” Ruan Zeyan asked her.
Ling Tianya was lost for words.
He might be right. It seemed like no one would dare to laugh at Ruan Zeyan in front of him.
When the doctor received the completed consent form, he quickly finished the rest of the paperwork and started preparing for the operation.
Since Ling Tianya was about to go into the operating theatre, the whole hospital was tense. Many of the patients who were there to see the doctor could sense the tension in the air as well. They only found out after asking the hospital staff that the Young Mistress of the Ruan family was about to deliver her baby.
Ling Tianya was the young mistress from a great family. It was no wonder the whole hospital was in such a frenzy. Someone might think that the queen was about to deliver.
Madame Ruan, Ruan Qishan and Wang Yazhi had arrived at the hospital as well. Fifth Grandfather and Seventh Grandfather followed closely behind them with their big families.
Ruan Qishan and Wang Yazhi were shocked to see them at the hospital. Even if they had heard the news, they had got to the hospital incredibly quickly.
Madame Ruan looked at them in distaste. She couldn’t be bothered to explain why the whole family was there to Ruan Qishan. Ling Tianya was her priority at the moment, and she went anxiously to find her.
When they reached the room, Ling Tianya was lying there comfortably. Only then, did Madame Ruan relax.
“How are you? Does your stomach still hurt?”
Ling Tianya shook her head. “Not so much now.”
Madame Ruan nodded her head. “That’s how it is with childbirth. The contractions will come in waves, but it will get more and more unbearable. Ling girl, you better be prepared.”
“Yes, I’m alright, Grandma.” Ling Tianya smiled at her.
Madame Ruan touched her small face and chuckled. “Ling girl, you are the MVP of our family. Grandma is grateful for you!” Madame Ruan hit Ruan Zeyan’s back as she continued, “Little brat, Grandma won’t let you off if you don’t treat the Ling girl well in the future!”
Ruan Zeyan had nothing to say in reply. He wished that he was the one suffering instead of Ling Tianya.
He held Ling Tianya’s hands and planted gentle kisses on them. “Don’t worry Grandma, you’ll never have to do that. I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t look after her.”
