To the Love of My Life - Chapter 700

Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Chaotic Baby-Making (20)
 

Ruby Gregory was about to give birth to triplets, so the hospital arranged for three obstetricians to deliver the babies.

The nurses in the obstetrics department were efficient and quickly prepared everything.

Before the delivery officially began, a nurse asked Steve Burton if he needed to accompany the mother in the delivery room.

This was Steve’s first experience with childbirth. In the past, surgeries had always prohibited outsiders from entering, but now that he was told he could accompany Ruby, he immediately agreed, changed into sterile clothing, and followed the nurse inside.

Ruby was lying on the delivery bed, curled up like a shrimp. As she held onto the bed, her knuckles turned blue from exertion. Due to the pain, her screams of agony came in waves.

While signing papers outside the delivery room, Steve had only heard these screams. With Ruby appearing so disheveled and helpless, and being so close to her cries of pain, Steve felt as if countless blades were repeatedly torturing him.

He walked up to her, wanting to comfort her, but didn’t know what to say. In the end, he just kept repeating, “Ruby, don’t be afraid, I’m here, don’t be afraid… ”

However, no matter how much Steve tried to comfort her, Ruby’s cries grew more intense, as did her contractions.

Steve looked at the doctors surrounding Ruby, constantly observing the situation and discussing among themselves, with no sign of starting the delivery. He couldn’t help but ask, “How much longer will she be in pain?”

One of the obstetricians replied, “The cervix is not dilated enough yet, we need to wait a bit longer.”

Steve nodded, turned to Ruby and whispered softly, “Ruby, the doctor said to wait a little longer, then you can give birth. Once they’re born, everything will be better.”

Ruby nodded at Steve, but in the next second, she felt an intense wave of pain and couldn’t help but scream again.

Hearing her scream, Steve shivered and couldn’t help but raise his head and ask the doctors once more, “How much longer do we have to wait?”

One doctor first checked the Fetal Heart Rate Monitor, saw that all three fetuses had normal vitals, and then checked Ruby’s cervical dilation. He said, “If everything goes smoothly, it may only be another half an hour.”

“Half an hour? You’re saying she has to endure this pain for another half an hour?” Steve immediately roared angrily at the doctor.

Ruby, recovering from a wave of intense pain, heard Steve’s anger and feared that in the next moment, he might turn the entire delivery room upside down in agitation. She reached out, grabbed his hand, and after glaring fiercely at the doctor, turned reluctantly to ask Ruby anxiously, “Ruby, how are you feeling now? Can you hang on?”

Ruby gave Steve a faint smile, nodded her head, and then suddenly increased her grip on his hand, letting out another wail of pain.

Steve had never felt time pass so slowly before. The short half an hour felt like half a century. As soon as the time was up, he immediately asked the doctors anxiously, “How’s it going? Can they be born now?”
