Chapter 921: Chapter 914 Approaching Labor

Although many times pregnant women stay at home until the moment of childbirth before going to the hospital, if they have the means, some still choose to stay at the hospital to prepare for delivery.

At the University Hospital in Japan, of course, the obstetrics and gynecology department provides such services, but the cost… Although Japan’s childbirth policies are very comprehensive and government subsidies are not low, enjoying VIP services at a University Hospital is something that not every ordinary family can afford.

Of course, for Jounouchi Hiromi and Chen Yu, the only question is whether they need such services, and not how much they cost.

What’s more, as two of the most renowned star doctors at the Eastern University Affiliated Hospital, it would be impossible for the hospital not to extend special care to them.

“Professor Jounouchi, the various indicators for the fetus are all normal at the moment. The development is healthy, and there are no issues.” In the VIP ward, the female professor sent by the obstetrics department reviewed Jounouchi Hiromi’s prenatal check-up report and explained the results to her with a smile. Although Jounouchi Hiromi herself could understand them, the professor’s explanation was still part of her responsibility.

After explaining the prenatal report, the female professor did not forget to offer her congratulations: “Congratulations, Professor Jounouchi. The due date is just a few days away, and you’ll soon welcome a healthy little baby.”

“Thank you, and sorry for the trouble, Professor Omata.” Hearing the professor’s congratulations, Jounouchi Hiromi’s face radiated happiness as she smiled and expressed her thanks.

“It’s my duty.” Professor Omata returned her smile before putting down the report in her hand. “Professor Jounouchi, please rest well. I’ll take my leave now.”

After speaking, Professor Omata nodded slightly to the bed-ridden Jounouchi Hiromi before turning and leaving the room.

Watching Professor Omata leave, Jounouchi Hiromi reached out to gently touch her now heavily swollen belly, feeling the vibrant pulse of life from the child inside. She felt the small heartbeat, and her expression brimmed with maternal love and happiness.

Just a few more days, and the child would be born! The thought made Jounouchi Hiromi so joyful she felt she could almost take flight.

This was her and Chen Yu’s first child—the symbol of their love. This made Jounouchi Hiromi even more fond of the little one who had yet to come into the world.

Even though her love for this unborn child already felt limitless, maternal affection knows no bounds.

“Little one, hurry up and be born! Mommy and Daddy can’t wait to meet you!” Stroking her belly, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn’t help but speak to her unborn child, wishing it would arrive soon.

Perhaps the child heard those words, or maybe her longing had moved herself—soon after speaking, her belly suddenly began to hurt.

“Beifa, quickly notify Mr. Chen Yu! It’s time!” With one hand clutching her belly, Jounouchi Hiromi called out to Belfast beside her, knowing the little one inside was eager to be born!

As a maid, Belfast handled the situation calmly. She first pressed the call button by Jounouchi Hiromi’s bedside, then pulled out her phone to call Chen Yu.

While Belfast was on the phone, the nurses quickly arrived. After assessing the situation, they reassured Jounouchi Hiromi and contacted Professor Omata, who had just recently left.

Although the birth was a bit sudden, Jounouchi Hiromi wasn’t overly flustered. The due date was close, and giving birth a few days early wasn’t unusual. Besides, as a female doctor herself, her medical knowledge allowed her to remain calm in such moments.

Despite staying calm, the pain radiating from her abdomen was deeply uncomfortable, and she couldn’t help but cry out.

A nurse soothed Jounouchi Hiromi while Professor Omata quickly arrived. After a brief check-up, she instructed the nurses to prepare the delivery room and arranged for Jounouchi Hiromi to be transferred there.

————————————————

By the time Belfast’s call reached Chen Yu and he wrapped up his current tasks, Jounouchi Hiromi had already been transferred to the delivery room. Belfast was the only one standing outside, waiting for Chen Yu to arrive.

“Beifa, how’s the situation?” Chen Yu anxiously asked Belfast. This was his first child—even though he believed everything would go well, his nervousness and concern were evident, along with his immense anticipation.

“Madam just experienced abdominal pain. After the doctors checked her condition, they instructed the nurse to transfer her to the delivery room. It’s been only ten minutes since she went in. Madam was stable and calm before entering. Her physical condition was good overall. The doctors predict it will be a normal delivery,” Belfast quickly reported to Chen Yu.

Hearing Belfast’s words, Chen Yu felt slightly more reassured, but he still said to her, “Beifa, stay here. I’m going in to check…”

Before Chen Yu could finish his sentence, his parents, who had received the news, arrived at the scene.

“Ah-Yu, what’s happening now? Has the baby been born? Is it a boy or a girl?” Chen Yu’s mother, in an eager rush, immediately bombarded him with questions upon arriving, clearly impatient to hold her grandchild.

Seeing his mother so concerned, Chen Yu patiently explained, “Hiromi has just been sent in. It’s too early for the baby to be born yet. I’m planning to go in and have a look. Mom, Dad, you can wait here for now.”

While explaining to his parents, Chen Yu also glanced toward Belfast and said, “Beifa, please look after my parents here.”

After saying this, Chen Yu pushed open the door to the delivery room and walked in.

In the changing room, Chen Yu put on clean surgical scrubs and thoroughly washed his hands before stepping into the delivery room.

Jounouchi Hiromi was lying on the operating table, with Professor Omata prepping her for delivery. Several nurses were busy with their respective tasks around her.

When Jounouchi Hiromi saw Chen Yu enter, her eyes lit up as she reached out her hand toward him.

Catching sight of her gesture, Chen Yu hurried to her side, held her hand, and reassured her, “Honey, I’m here.”

“Honey, it hurts so much!” Jounouchi Hiromi cried out in pain while gripping Chen Yu’s hand tightly.

“Honey, it’s okay. I’m right here; you’ll be fine.” Chen Yu let Jounouchi Hiromi clutch his hand and held hers firmly in return, soothing and encouraging her. “Hang in there, honey!”
