Chapter 2286 - 2189: Unconscious
Huo Sining suddenly went into labor over here, and everyone in the room almost lost their heads.
Fortunately, during this period Gu Xu had arranged a lot of things in advance, and the hospital had long been contacted. Even though the labor started half a month early, less than ten minutes after receiving the news, the hospital staff rushed over to the villa.
After a brief moment of panic, Yue Shuwen and the housekeeper quickly packed up all the things they needed and followed the ambulance straight to the obstetrics building of the hospital.
The Gu Family had all received the news as well; Chen Yu and Mrs. Gu hurried to the hospital.
Huo Sining’s condition was actually not bad. With the Azure Pearl, she didn’t have to worry about her stamina being exhausted, but her mind was a complete mess right now. She could only focus on one thing: her son was missing.
"Shu Wen, take Qibao with you and you must find a way to help me find... find Miaomiao. He’s naïve, he hasn’t seen the evils of the world yet, he’ll suffer, you have to find him no matter what!"
Before entering the delivery room, Huo Sining still clutched Yue Shuwen’s hand tightly, staring straight at her as she gave her instructions.
Yue Shuwen also knew this was serious. If something really happened to that precious little one, Huo Sining might actually lose her mind, so she nodded solemnly:
"Don’t worry, I’ll take people to look for him right away, we’ll definitely find him. Don’t be nervous, take care of yourself first. The one in your belly is the most important right now, don’t carry any psychological burden!"
After she entered the delivery room, Huo Sining really did go into difficult labor. With her mind preoccupied with the little egg, she was completely muddleheaded, and the one in her belly seemed to sense that his mother’s heart wasn’t in it. As if angry, he refused to come out of her womb.
On Gu Xu’s side, he had just gotten off the plane with great difficulty when he couldn’t wait to drag Yu Fei into a corner, his expression anxious as he said:
"You have to think of a way to get a message out for me, to your sister-in-law. Just tell her that Miaomiao is with me. Don’t say anything else, just those words."
Seeing the urgent look on Gu Xu’s face, as if something big had happened, Yu Fei was puzzled because he didn’t understand a single thing Gu Xu was saying:
"Captain, look at the time, the mission comes first, right? And who is this Miaomiao you’re talking about?"
Gu Xu’s gaze turned sharp, sweeping over like a hawk. The moment Yu Fei saw that look, he knew his captain was about to blow up, so he quickly raised both hands in surrender:
"Okay, I didn’t say anything. I’ll send it right away."
Yu Fei was a hacker, and his laptop hadn’t been turned in. After thinking for a bit, he adopted a roundabout method and finally managed to get the message out.
However, he also said bluntly, "The earliest this message can reach your sister-in-law’s phone is tomorrow, but don’t worry, it’s already been sent successfully."
As long as the message could be sent out, Gu Xu didn’t have high demands. So when he heard Yu Fei say that, he didn’t dwell on it, just nodded and turned around to figure out how to deal with that troublesome guy in his backpack.
He had no idea that because of this precious little egg, his wife was currently in dire straits, and the little cotton-padded jacket he cherished was also in danger. If he knew, he wouldn’t be as calm as he was now.
Over on Huo Sining’s side, she had already been in the delivery room for almost five hours, and the baby still hadn’t been born. The doctor in charge of the delivery was at their wits’ end.
Mrs. Gu and Master Gu had also rushed over. Because Gu Xu was on a mission and not in the Imperial Capital, after discussing it, the elders of the Gu Family unanimously decided on a C-section; if that still didn’t work, they would save the mother. They couldn’t let Huo Sining keep draining her strength like this.
The doctor received the message and understood the Gu Family’s intentions. Just as he was about to inform the pregnant woman about the C-section, he hadn’t even started when his arm was suddenly grabbed by Huo Sining.
Seeing the doctor in front of her holding a scalpel, Huo Sining suddenly felt like she had returned to her previous life. On that giant cruise ship, she had been cut open by the doctor Wu Jingyi had found, and her heart was taken.
Her heart tightened, a flash of fear and resistance appearing in her eyes. Clenching her teeth, she insisted, "I can give birth... no C-section!"
Maybe the doctor’s appearance had frightened her, because her whole body tensed up, but she also came back to her senses and realized this was not the time to worry about her son. Staring warily at the delivery doctor, she kept guiding the Spiritual Energy from the Azure Pearl between her brows down into her abdomen, trying to use it to assist the delivery.
She had used Spiritual Energy to save many lives, but had never used it like this on herself. Huo Sining didn’t know whether it would work, but at this moment it was her only option.
Facts proved that the Spiritual Energy was very effective. In just a few minutes, she heard the doctor’s delighted voice: "He’s coming out, I can see the head, just a bit more effort..."
Hearing this, joy welled up in Huo Sining’s heart, but right after that came an overwhelming wave of fatigue.
She had thought that with the Spiritual Pearl, giving birth wouldn’t be a big deal for her, and that even a prolonged battle wouldn’t be a problem.
But because she was having a difficult labor, the Azure Pearl’s first instinct was naturally to protect her safety. So even if Huo Sining didn’t consciously control it, the Azure Pearl would involuntarily release Spiritual Energy to smooth things out for her. After such a long period of consumption, the Spiritual Energy was nearly depleted.
Feeling her body slip out of her control, Huo Sining became anxious. She knew this couldn’t go on, so in the end she practically gritted her teeth and used the very last of her strength to push the baby out.
"He’s out, he’s out, the baby’s born!"
Before losing consciousness, all she heard was the doctor shouting. She didn’t even hear the baby’s cry before she slipped into a deep sleep.
...
"Boss, I checked what you asked me to. That Huo Sining is an orphan, living with her uncle’s family. That uncle of hers is a compulsive gambler, and he has a son who’s a thug. He just beat someone half-crippled; if they don’t pay compensation, he’ll have to go to prison."
A familiar voice sounded in Huo Sining’s ear. She opened her eyes and followed the direction of the voice, and what she saw gave her a start.
The one speaking was none other than Yu Fei.
How strange—wasn’t Yu Fei on a mission with Gu Xu? How could he be here?
Right, where was this? Huo Sining instinctively glanced around, only to find that this was actually Gu Xu’s office.
She followed Yu Fei’s line of sight to the other side, and to her surprise, she saw a figure standing by the window, smoking in silence. Who else could it be but Gu Xu?
Seeing the cigarette between Gu Xu’s fingers, Huo Sining couldn’t help frowning.
Since when did she not know that Gu Xu had learned to smoke? She was still pregnant, and this man didn’t even know to be more careful!
Thinking this, she instinctively wanted to walk over to him and snatch the cigarette from his hand to put it out.
But what Huo Sining didn’t expect was that, apart from her eyes being able to open, the rest of her body seemed to be bound by something and she couldn’t move at all.
