I was pushed into the examination room, and a female doctor examined me and found that I was three fingers dilated. Then my attending physician came over and told me that I might give birth early. He comforted me and said it was okay, that twins could survive at seven and a half months. My mind buzzed and I had no idea what to do.

I even reviewed it and wondered what I had done to cause premature birth. Was it because I was in a bad mood or too busy or tired at work?

I was pushed into the delivery room. At the last second before closing the door, Ji Mu held my fingers tightly and said to me, "Jingjing, don't be afraid. I'm right outside. If you can't bear it, we'll change the plan and follow the doctor's instructions."

"Okay, I know." With his words of comfort, I strengthened my confidence. No matter what happens, I must keep my attitude.

I don't know if it was because the fetus was not too big, but I was able to give birth within three hours. No one told me that giving birth would be so painful and require so much energy. I was already drenched in cold sweats. The air conditioner in the delivery room was very cold. I was almost out of strength, but I didn't cry out in pain because I wanted to save some energy.

"You've seen the end. Try a little harder." The doctor patiently guided me.

I cooperated with her, and suddenly I heard a baby cry. I heard the doctor say happily, "One is out."

For some reason, when I heard the baby crying, I almost couldn't hold back and wanted to cry too, but I had another baby in my belly.

The doctor told me that the other baby was in an abnormal position and asked me to try giving birth first. If it didn't work, she might need to use her hands to correct the baby's position on the spot, which might be more painful. I had no choice but to do everything she said. With the doctor's help, the other baby finally came out. Her cry was a little weak.

"Hurry, send him to the neonatal department first." The doctor instructed the nurse next to him.

I was almost fainting and collapsed on the delivery bed. The nurse helped me clean up, and tears silently rolled down from the corners of my eyes.

When I was being wheeled out of the delivery room, I felt dizzy and my head was pounding. I could vaguely see three figures rushing towards me...

But I was so tired and felt like I was going to faint at any moment. I heard someone calling my name and I remember I seemed to raise my hand in response.

I was admitted to a high-end ward, slept for a while, and suddenly woke up.

I saw three men standing next to me. When they saw me suddenly open my eyes, they also stood up from their chairs.

"Jingjing, how are you?" Zhou Minghe held a towel in his hand and seemed to wipe the sweat off my face. He asked me in a low voice.

I had just regained some strength. When I saw Su Beicheng and Ji Mu were also beside me, my mood... was extremely complicated.

I didn't expect Su Beicheng to actually come. It seems that he really cares about these two children.

"How are the children? Are they okay?" When I asked, I realized that my voice was hoarse.

Ji Mu said gently, "The children are fine. They will be well taken care of in the newborn ward. Don't worry."

Su Beicheng nodded at me and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

I didn't know how to answer for a moment. Giving birth to my own child is what I deserve, no matter how hard it is.

Zhou Minghe sat next to me, silent, and I didn't know what he was thinking.

Su Beicheng received a call and he walked to the living room next door to answer the call. Ji Mu sat back in his chair and frowned.

"What time is it?" I asked.

Zhou Minghe said in a hoarse voice, "It's past four in the morning."

When I heard it was this time period, no wonder the three of them looked a little tired. It seemed that they had been up all night.

"Doctor Ji, thank you for your care along the way. Why don't you go and have a rest?" I was really embarrassed to let him stay here with me.

Ji Mu shook his head. "It's okay, I can still hold on. But Mr. Zhou... I see your eyes are red from staying up all night. Do you want to lie down on the sofa for a while? Did you drink a little?"

Zhou Minghe lowered his eyes and looked at me. His bloodshot eyes reflected my frail appearance. He whispered, "I can't sleep. I want to stay with her first."

Ji Mu lowered his head and said, "Okay, Jingjing, you should get some sleep first. You seem to be very exhausted."

I really didn't have the energy to deal with them. I didn't even have the time to reply before I fell into a dizzy sleep.

When I woke up again, the sky outside the window had become brighter and sunlight was shining through the window.

Zhou Minghe fell asleep leaning against the head of my bed. I looked over at the sofa in the living room and saw that Su Beicheng had not left. He was also sleeping on the sofa.

Ji Mu, however, was nowhere to be seen. He should have to go to work today. He wouldn't have stayed up all night and gone to work again, right?

For some reason, I had some indescribable emotions in my heart. It is such a wonderful thing to have someone care and take care of you when you are sick and in trouble.

This reminded me of my previous life, when after I had an abortion, I lay in bed for a day and a night. Only my mother-in-law came over and threw me a bowl of beef noodles, and then told me not to lie down after eating and to go home quickly.

At that time, I really wanted to die. Life was boring.

But now, I am also lying in front of the doctor, half dead, but someone is caring for me and taking care of me gently. I am really afraid that this moment will be a dream.

I am afraid of waking up and returning to the days of my previous life where I couldn’t afford to die but couldn’t live well.

Thinking of this, I didn't dare to sleep anymore, for fear that when I woke up, I would no longer be able to see these people who were kind to me. I was like a child who desperately longed for care, and was greedy for all of this.

The door of the ward was pushed open and the attending doctor walked in. Su Beicheng woke up in shock. She greeted Su Beicheng politely and then walked into the room where I was lying.

Zhou Minghe also woke up. He sat up and saw that I was looking at him. He pursed his lips and smiled at me.

"Ms. Yin, the children are all fine. Don't worry, our nurses will take good care of them. I will examine you now." The doctor came over and said to me.

I knew about postpartum lochia. When the doctor asked me if I had prepared a delivery bag and other things, he also asked who my husband was and whether he would help me change my sanitary products later.

"Let me do it." Zhou Minghe said immediately.

"No." I refused immediately because I knew I wouldn't look so good after giving birth and I didn't want them to see it: "Find a female nurse to help me."

Zhou Minghe and Su Beicheng both looked at me. The doctor beside them laughed dryly and said, "The woman has just given birth, so it's not appropriate for her to get angry. Otherwise, just listen to her."

As expected, women understand the fragility and suffering of women best, so Zhou Minghe and Su Beicheng were invited to the living room outside. A caregiver came in and did these things for me, and I asked Zhou Minghe to give them more money.

Ji Mu came over and brought some photos.

I finally saw what my children looked like. They were small and wrinkled, and it was hard to tell whether they were beautiful or ugly.

"Give me one." Su Beicheng asked in a hoarse voice.

Ji Mu gave him one and put the other two in my hands: "Jingjing, do you feel any discomfort elsewhere? You can tell the doctor."

I shook my head and asked, "Can I have something to eat? I...I'm a little hungry."

I didn’t eat much last night while waiting for Zhou Minghe to come home. Now, I’m really hungry.

Su Beicheng immediately said, "I've asked someone to prepare food. It's downstairs. I'll ask him to bring it up."

Zhou Minghe just looked at me with red eyes. I knew that he felt sorry for me, but he didn't seem to talk as much as before.
