Chapter 277 - Jia Li Is In Labor
Several minutes later, Jia Li was taken into the labor room and was given the gas to help relieve her pains.
Dr. Clinton allowed Fu Hua to go in with Jia Li to be moral support for her.
Fu Hua held her hand and said to her in a low tone, "Jia Li, I'm sorry that you have to go through all of these. I'm sorry that I can't help you bear this burden."
Jia Li wanted to take off the mask and reply to him but he stopped her. "Don't say anything. Save your strength. I didn't think things through before getting you pregnant. I'm sorry for all the pain you are going through."
Jia Li cried silently.. She caressed her baby bump and spoke to the child silently. 'Jasmine, please be obedient and come out quickly, I'm tired.'
The nurse didn't allow Jia Li to inhale the gas for a long time, so she wouldn't feel sleepy.
When the doctor came to check on Jia Li again, she saw that it was almost time for the labor to begin and her water has finished breaking.
"Her cervix has finished dilating. We have to prepare for the birth of the baby." Dr. Clinton announced.
At that moment, Fu Hua's phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and was about to terminate the call when he saw the caller ID.
"Jia Li, I have to take this call, it's grandfather." Fu Hua revealed.
"Mmm... please come back." Jia Li said to him tiredly.
When Fu Hua saw her pleading gaze, even when he didn't want to come back because he was scared of watching her be in pain, he just had to.
"I will come back soon." Fu Hua replied before leaving.
Outside the door, where the two servants were standing, Fu Hua shifted some steps away and answered the call.
"Fu Hua, what took you so long to answer the call? How is Li girl?" Grandfather Fu asked after chiding him.
"Grandfather, why are you still awake at this time?" Fu Hua asked. He didn't want to reveal anything to the old man.
It was almost midnight, around the time grandfather Fu called.
"I just finished working on something important. I'm worried about Li girl and had to call. Is she sleeping already?" Grandfather Fu asked in a worried tone.
Fu Hua sighed and glanced at the door to the labor room. "Grandfather, Jia Li is fine, we are at the hospital."
"At the hospital, by this time?" Grandfather Fu asked in surprise. Actually, he was more worried than surprise.
"Yes, Jia Li is in labor." Fu Hua revealed.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?!" Grandfather Fu said in a loud tone as he stood to his feet. He was currently in his study and when he heard that his favorite person was in labor, he was agitated.
Butler Lu who was standing at the side didn't know what was going on at the other end of the phone but he came close to the old man because he was scared he would bump into something.
"Grandfather, I have to go now. Go to bed early."
Fu Hua couldn't stay long on the phone as Jia Li was waiting for him, so he had to end the call quickly.
When he ended the call, he turned to the servants to instruct them, "If my grandfather comes around, have him wait at the reception room, don't allow him to come close."
After giving out that instruction, Fu Hua turned off his phone and walked into the labor room.
"Lu, get the car ready, we are going to the hospital." Grandfather Fu instructed with urgency in his tone.
Butler Lu took the order and left immediately. There was no time to start asking questions.
That night, Fu ChunHua could not sleep because a servant came to knock on her door in the middle of the night.
"What is your problem?!" Fu ChunHua asked with an annoyed tone after she opened the door for the servant.
"I'm sorry, Ma'am. Old master asked for you to supervise the kitchen to make a healthy soup for Miss Jia Li." The servant reported with her head bowed. And there was a sense of urgency in her tone.
"Why does the kitchen need to prepare soup by this time?" Fu ChunHua asked with a frown.
She doesn't get the point for that instruction. Jia Li was in her place and why does she need the Fu House to make soup for her when she has people over there.
"Ma'am, Miss Jia Li is in labor!" The servant revealed.
Fu ChunHua was taken aback by the revelation. She thought she didn't hear well and had to ask about information to be sure she heard clearly the first time. "What did you say?!"
"Miss Jia Li is in labor and the old master instructed for the soup to be brought to the hospital immediately after preparation." The servant replied.
"What about father, where is he?" Fu ChunHua asked as her face bloomed with a smile. She was so happy with this piece of good news.
"Old master has already left for the hospital." The servant replied.
Fu ChunHua was not surprised by the old man's enthusiasm. He loved Jia Li so much and would do anything for her.
"Give me a minute, I have to change my clothes." Fu ChunHua replied and went back inside to change her clothes.
5 minutes later, she came out and left with their servant. The chefs were already in the kitchen and waiting for her instructions.
Fu ChunHua immediately gave out instructions for what kind of soup to prepare and everyone began to work immediately.
On the way to the hospital, Grandfather Fu kept urging the driver to drive faster. Butler Lu tried to get him to relax and calm down.
"Sir, you have to calm down because of your blood pressure."
"Does it matter? Li girl is in the hospital, how can my heart be at ease? Back then when Fu Ju gave birth to Juan, she almost lost her life and that was where her bad health started." Grandfather Fu said in a tense tone.
Butler Lu who was more worried about him said to him, "But Sir, you still need to calm down. If anything happens to you, you will be hospitalized and asked to rest for a long time before you see your great-grandchild."
Grandfather Fu was not paying attention to his words, as he was thinking whether he should have taken the helicopter instead of traveling by car.
"Should we have taken the helicopter?" Grandfather Fu said and that left Butler Lu speechless.
