Chapter 276 - Keep An Eye On Her
Fu Hua and Jia Li took a long walk before they sat under the shade for a while with Ocean and the puppies around her.
When the contractions came really hard, Fu Hua would help her comfort her.
Ocean could feel what her owner was going through, so she was sad and would circle her. She didn't want to bark and would only make low noises.
Avery and Archie tried to get close to Jia Li, they wanted her to carry them in her arms but that wasn't possible. Their mother stopped them from seeking attention from Jia Li.
When walking and the contractions came, Jia Li would stand at one place and wait for it to pass.
In the evening, Jia Li had 'a show' and her water broke, even though it wasn't all that came out.
Fu Hua was so scared and almost didn't know what to do.. It was the Housekeeper that reminded him to call the doctor and take her to the hospital.
"Keep an eye on her." Fu Hua said to the housekeeper while taking out his phone and giving Dr. Clinton a call.
"Bring her in immediately. Pass the phone to her." Dr. Clinton instructed in a calm tone.
Fu Hua quickly put the phone on Jia Li's ear.
"Mrs. Jia Li, I need you to keep calm, don't panic. Continue with your breathing exercises, we are waiting here for you." Dr. Clinton said to her in a gentle tone.
Jia Li who was almost losing it breathed heavily and thanked her.
"I'm taking you to the hospital right away." Fu Hua said as he put his phone away and helped Jia Li up to her feet.
"Sir, she needs to change her clothes." The housekeeper reminded him in a hurried tone.
Fu Hua immediately asked the housekeeper and a servant to help Jia Li into one of the rooms downstairs, while he went up to up to bring a change of clothes, his car keys and Jia Li's bag.
When Fu Hua returned in less than 5 minutes, he handed the change of clothes to the housekeeper who asked him to wait outside.
"Sir, we need to get madam ready, she can't stain her clothes again." The housekeeper said in a respectful tone.
Fu Hua understood and left to drive his car closer to the entrance of the house.
The housekeeper and the servant passed the pad to Jia Li so she could put it on by herself as she didn't want their help.
Before Fu Hua could get to the door entrance, he saw them coming out with Jia Li, who didn't look so good.
It was already pretty dark outside and thanks to the security light outside, they could see clearly.
Fu Hua and Jia Li left for the hospital with two of the servants and a soldier in another car.
"Hang in there, okay?" Fu Hua said to Jia Li in a worried tone. He was already perspiring from the tension.
"Don't worry too much, I'm fine." Jia Li said to him in a soft tone.
When they arrived at the hospital, Dr. Clinton and two other nurses were already waiting outside for them. They immediately helped Jia Li to walk inside the building.
"Mr. Fu, please wait outside. We have to examine her. I need to know how many fingers dilation she had left." One of the nurses said to Jia Li after she stopped him from following them inside the room.
Fu Hua was pacing up and down the corridors while waiting for the doctor to be out.
Some minutes later, the doctor and the nurses came out with Jia Li.
"Mr. Fu, there are still about 4 hours left before the dilation reaches 10cm. Take walks with her, a nurse will follow behind in case there is anything." Dr. Clinton said before he could ask any more questions.
Fu Hua took Jia Li's hands and walked away. While they strolled, they chatted about happy memories. Fu Hua was trying to help ease her pains and get her mind off them.
The nurse who was following behind them smiled at them. She could feel the love between them.
An hour later, Jia Li had to make use of the restroom. And as the contractions were nesting close to each other, she could no longer smile. Tears were already starting to gather in her eyes.
All this while she has been trying to be a strong woman but it looks like she couldn't keep up with it. Fu Hua couldn't help her out at all. He could only say some words of comfort and ask her if there was anything she wanted.
"I don't want anything!" Jia Li cried out with tears in her eyes. She couldn't endure the pain that was worse than period cramps.
Fu Hua felt a pang of guilt hit him when he saw his beloved wife in that state. He didn't understand why she had to go through so much pain to give birth to their child. He wished he could share the pain with her or endure everything on her behalf.
"Nurse is there something you could do to ease her pain?" Fu Hua asked the nurse in a worried tone.
"She has to continue practicing the breathing exercise. When we go inside, she can use the gas, it can help to relieve the pains." The nurse replied.
Several minutes later, they went inside for the doctor to examine her.
"We don't need to wait for 2 more hours, an hour is enough. Get something for her to eat and after that, she can start exercising to help with the dilation." Dr. Clinton instructed.
When Jia Li was given food to eat, she rejected to eat. She couldn't even sit at a place. She was about to go crazy. Each time she wanted to scream, she would squeeze her fists.
Fu Hua tried to convince her to eat but she didn't listen to him. She almost pushed the plates away but thanks to the servants that carried them away immediately.
The doctor encouraged her to drink more water before they brought her to use the thread mill.
