Chapter 345: I’ll Come and Accompany You?

The sky was a little overcast.
The spring rain pattered down, falling onto the ground like threads of silk. It was as cool as silver needles, wetting the ground.
The roses in the small garden had tender red buds, and the green leaves below were soaked in the rain, looking verdant.
In the end, Mr. Lin could not bear to replace the roses. He built a small fence around the roses, which was surprisingly pleasant to look at.
Ye Qiuqiu had already gone back, but Lin Gantang hadn’t returned to the bookstore either.
Jiang Tongtong woke up this morning and saw blood. She rushed to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that it was not yet time for delivery, but it should be in the next two or three days.
Lin Zhaonan wanted to arrange for Jiang Tongtong to give birth in a private hospital, but Jiang Tongtong didn’t want that and returned home.
Lin Gantang decided not to go anywhere. Lin Zhaonan wanted to return to the office, so she stayed at home to accompany Tongtong.
The sun was warm and genial. Jiang Tongtong came out to bask in the sun. Lin Gantang learned how to trim the flowers from Uncle Rong, the gardener. Big Mi drilled and rubbed, and her claws were wet with mud.
“Don’t walk around, Big Mi. The rose branches have thorns. They’ll prick you.” Lin Gantang casually talked to Big Mi.
“Meow..” Big Mi walked out obediently, as if it could understand her.
“There’s some dry wood here. Why don’t you sharpen your claws?” Lin Gantang pointed at the thick piece of wood beside her feet.
Big Mi looked up at her.
“Like this.” Lin Gantang demonstrated by stretching out her hand to make as though she was grinding her claws. “You try.”
In the end, Big Mi really imitated her and stretched out its claws to sharpen them. The more it did so, the happier it became. In the end, it simply dug with both claws.
Big Mi’s serious and cute appearance amused Jiang Tongtong, who was beside her. “Big Mi is so smart.”
“Of course, our garden cats are not inferior to other breeds at all.” Lin Gantang had cut off a section of the flower branch by mistake, so the entire branch was missing, which was a little obvious.
It was over. Her father’s beloved rose plant.
Lin Gantang sneakily stuffed the broken branch back into the tree and barely managed to cover it up.
As long as she waited till Tongtong gave birth, her father’s attention wouldn’t be on this place. He wouldn’t be angry at her, right?
Lin Gantang put down the shears guiltily.
The next day Jiang Tongtong still showed no signs of giving birth. Lin Gantang asked her if she had told her family, and Jiang Tongtong said shyly that it would not be too late to tell them later on.
On the evening of the third day, Jiang Tongtong complained of stomach pains. Lin Gantang quickly informed Lin Zhaonan and drove her to the hospital.
After the check-up, it was found that her cervix had dilated. Lin Gantang accompanied her for other prenatal check-ups and helped arrange for her hospitalization. Auntie Zhang made something suitable for Jiang Tongtong and sent it over. “Eat some. It’ll hurt so much later that you won’t be able to eat and you won’t have strength.”
Aunt Zhang had experience in childbirth and knew that it would take a long time before labor. However, Jiang Tongtong did not have much appetite, and Lin Gantang was a little worried and anxious.
Not long after, Lin Zhaonan hurriedly rushed over. Seeing that everything was going smoothly, he was relieved.
“Tangtang, go back and rest first. Eat something. I’ll stay here and accompany her,” said Lin Zhaonan.
Lin Gantang left the hospital. On the way, she called Wen Yanqing and said, “We’re not having dinner together tonight. I’m at the hospital. Tongtong is going into labor.”
“Should I go over and accompany you?”
“I’m not the one who’s giving birth.” Lin Gantang chuckled. “I’ll call you when the baby comes out. Don’t work too late. Rest well.”
Wen Yanqing agreed.
Lin Gantang went home for dinner first, but she didn’t listen to her brother and stay home to rest. She returned to the hospital.
Lin Gantang didn’t leave until Jiang Tongtong was sent to the delivery room in the early morning..
