Mrs. Tong stood up in shock, "Did your water break?"
Aunt Zhuang came over hurriedly and lifted her skirt, "Let me see..."
After a while, she raised her head and said, "Cui'er, call 120."
"My water broke..."
Sister Tong's face turned as pale as a piece of paper. "This... this..."
She hurriedly opened her cell phone and dialed 120, but the line was always busy after a long time.
"What should I do? I can't get through!"
She was in a panic.
I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but when Ding Sha heard Aunt Zhuang say that her water had indeed broken, she suddenly felt obvious pain.
Her hands were shaking from the pain. "Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law, take my phone. I have the number of the doctor at the Women and Children's Hospital in my phone. Call her..."
"Hey, hey, I'll go right away!" Mrs. Tong hurried to Ding Sha's bedroom.
“Shasha, don’t be nervous…” Aunt Zhuang held Dingsha’s hand and comforted her.
Perhaps due to excessive tension, Dingsha began to bleed.
Xiao Jun saw Sister Tong rushing in with a pale face and sweat on her forehead, "What's wrong, sister-in-law? What happened?"
"Is Shasha's cell phone here?" Mrs. Tong didn't have time to explain.
"Here." Xiao Jun pointed to the bedside table next to him, "What's wrong?"
After receiving it, Mrs. Tong hurried out. She trembled a little when she heard Xiao Jun's question, "Xiao Xiao, Shasha's water broke..."
Xiao Jun was like being hit on the head, "It's... not yet the due date..."
He climbed out of bed, and Sister Tong hurriedly stopped him, "Don't come out, Xiao Xiao, you are still in quarantine, what if Shasha is also sick..."
Xiao Jun froze in his tracks. He blinked as if trying to digest what Tong's wife had said. "I... I can't go out..."
Xiao Jun, who was always very opinionated and never seemed to be stumped, was like a helpless child in front of her for the first time. With red eyes, he asked her, "I... then I... I..."
He wanted to ask what he could do, what he should do, and how Shasha was doing...
But when the words came to my lips, I didn't know how to ask.
Sister Tong couldn't bear it, "Aunt and I will definitely take good care of Shasha, don't worry too much."
She closed the door and went out.
In fact, I have no idea.
All hospitals are overcrowded and you can’t even get through to the emergency number, which shows how difficult the situation is in the hospitals.
Ding Sha took the phone, took a deep breath, and dialed the doctor's number, but no one answered after several calls.
"Maybe he's busy..." Ding Sha said, still dialing continuously.
At the Women and Children's Hospital, a young nurse ran to the doctor who had just come out of the ward and said, "Doctor Liu, your cell phone has been ringing for a long time."
Doctor Liu was sweating and looked a little tired. "Who called?"
The nurse said, "It looks like a pregnant woman. You must have had a prenatal checkup before."
Doctor Liu paused for a moment, feeling a bad feeling in his heart, "Have you been beating me all the time?"
"It's been going on." The young nurse nodded.
Dr. Liu strode back to her office and opened the drawer. There was a series of missed calls on her cell phone. Before she could call back, the phone rang again.
This time she picked up the phone immediately. "Hello? Hello, I'm Liu Li."
"Doctor Liu, I'm Ding Sha," Ding Sha breathed a sigh of relief, "My... water broke..."
Dr. Liu knew that the situation she least wanted to see had happened.
"How are you now? Are you having stomach cramps?" Doctor Liu quickly asked the nurse to check the situation in the ward and operating room.
All medical resources are in short supply now, and she cannot guarantee that Ding Sha will be able to give birth smoothly like before.
"It's been hurting since this morning..." Ding Sha endured the pain and reported his condition to her.
"Take your time, take a deep breath, don't worry," Dr. Liu soothed, "Is there anyone around you? If there is, let him answer the phone."
"Yes, my sister-in-law and aunt are here," Ding Sha handed the phone to Aunt Zhuang.
"Hello, doctor," Aunt Zhuang answered the phone.
"How is the pregnant woman's condition now?" Dr. Liu asked some questions quickly.
Aunt Zhuang answered them one by one, and finally walked away with her phone in her hand, and said in a low voice, "Doctor, Shasha is starting to bleed."
Doctor Liu was startled. "Bleeding?"
This situation cannot be delayed any longer. It will be bad for both the child and the mother. Doctor Liu made a prompt decision, "Can you find a car? Be well protected and come to the hospital immediately."
Aunt Zhuang was stunned for a moment. The only one who could drive was still isolated in bed...
"Auntie..." Ding Sha saw her looking back, "What's wrong?"
"Doctor Liu said to go to the hospital now," Aunt Zhuang replied, "but Xiao Xiao..."
Ding Sha gritted her teeth. She could feel the pain becoming more frequent and lasting. The pain and wetness in her body made her frightened all the time.
She has to give birth to the baby safely.
Ding Sha gritted his teeth and said, "I'll drive."
"What?!" Sister Tong screamed, "How can this be possible?! You're about to give birth!"
"There's nothing we can do. There's not a single car on the street. No one wants to go to the hospital right now," Ding Sha stood up with the help of the table. "We have to go quickly. I can't hold on any longer."
"Shasha!" Xiao Jun's voice came from behind the curtain.
"I'm fine," Ding Sha tried to make her voice relaxed, "I'm just going to give birth to a baby, Xiao Ping An..."
"I... I..." Xiao Jun really wanted to say I would accompany you, I would send you there, I would go with you.
Countless times he imagined himself accompanying Ding Sha in the delivery room while she gave birth. He thought about kissing Ding Sha when the baby was born and telling her that the child would always be second in his heart.
She is number one.
But…
But now he can't even step out of this door.
I couldn't take her to the hospital, I couldn't be with her.
Once again, he left her alone in this helpless moment.
Ding Sha held her belly and walked to the door curtain. She didn't lift it, but said gently, "Be good and wait for Xiao Ping'an and I to come back."
"Can you make me some pig's feet when you get back? I really want to eat it."
"Okay." Xiao Jun agreed with a choked voice.
"I'll go then," Ding Sha said, "see you later."
Mrs. Tong got the car keys, and Aunt Zhuang packed up all the things they would need as quickly as possible, putting them all into a big bag and throwing them into the back seat.
Ding Sha fastened his seat belt and said, "It's not far..."
She endured the increasingly obvious and severe pain. Soon, the thermal pants along the inner thighs and calves were all wet, and the seats in the car were soaked with blood.
Mrs. Tong was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
The street was empty and Ding Sha drove hard towards the Women's and Children's Hospital.
At the hospital entrance, Dr. Liu, who was fully armed, and a young nurse were pushing a cart and waiting anxiously.
"Are the delivery room and ward ready?"
"The delivery room can be vacated for an hour, but we really can't get out of the ward." The young nurse said in embarrassment.
“The hallways are full of patients.”
Doctor Liu thought for a moment and said, "Please move it to my office. It can't be anywhere else."
"I hope this delivery goes smoothly." Dr. Liu tried hard to ignore the anxiety that lingered in his heart.
Soon I saw a car approaching.
Doctor Liu waited for the car to stop and then went to meet her. "Where is the expectant mother? Where is she?"
Ding Sha unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the door. "I... I'm here..."
Doctor Liu was shocked. "You drove the car?!"
She hurriedly lifted Dingsha and put him into the car with the others who got out of the back seat.
Ding Sha stuffed the blood-stained bank card into Tong's wife's hand and said, "There are 20,000 yuan in this card, and the password is 622627... If it's not enough, ask Ajun..."
As soon as she finished speaking, her hands fell down weakly.
Doctor Liu saw this and quickly pushed her into the hospital, "The woman in labor has fainted!"
