——————
At the moment Zhang Shan Ni and Director Hu exchanged glances, the other two nurses were dealing with Zhang Shan Ni’s lower body until the placenta slid down and the children were wrapped up. Only then did they prepare the exhausted Zhang Shan Ni and the twins for discharge from the delivery room.
As soon as Xie Jingchen heard his children and wife crying, his whole heart lifted, and the healing bite in his hand bled anew due to his forcible grip.
Now, no one cared about the small wound on Xie Jingchen’s hand anymore; everyone gathered at the door of the delivery room.
It was only when the red light above went off and after two or three minutes, the sound of a wheelchair being pushed echoed again in the corridor.
When the door opened, the first thing Xie Jingchen saw was Zhang Shan Ni, drenched in sweat and limp on the hospital bed. As his gaze lingered on her face, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of two small babies lined up at her feet.
It was just a second, but seeing her and the children safe, Xie Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes fixed on his pale-faced little wife. He instinctively positioned himself within her line of sight. Seeing her slightly lift her eyelids, glance at him without uttering a word, she closed her eyes exhaustedly.
Just that one look, and the hearts of the husband and wife both felt abruptly settled.
As long as he (she) is there, everything can be resolved.
No need for words, just a single faint glance is enough to be reassuring.
Seeing his little wife finally close her eyes in peace tightened his heart, and his large hand firmly supported the edge of the bed, swallowing the words that had come to his mouth.
Doctor Hu also came out at this moment, following behind Xie Jingchen and the Yan Brothers, they all followed the nurse’s cart into the delivery area.
The Yan Brothers wanted to say a few words, but seeing Xie Jingchen’s expression, no one dared to speak up easily, quietly carrying their bags and following behind him.
Director Hu, owing to other matters at the military hospital, handed over the things in his bag to Xie Jingchen and left swiftly.
Now that Zhang Shan Ni had completed childbirth, even though she was startled and stressed during the pregnancy, being able to deliver safely in two hours for a first childbirth is considered very quick.
This was also because Zhang Shan Ni heard from her mother-in-law that climbing stairs would facilitate an easy childbirth. After entering her seventh month, she often moved up and down the stairs, which made her delivery smoother.
Of course, her mother-in-law knew this because it was what the primary doctor had said when her sister-in-law was giving birth to twins.
After entering the delivery ward, Zhang Shan Ni, feeling her husband’s vigilance, fell into a very deep sleep from exhaustion.
The two babies looked delicate and cute, both with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and their black hair was long, smooth, and silky to the touch. After being slapped and crying out twice by Doctor Hu, the little ones obediently fell asleep.
Although both babies were preterm, they were only a half-month early, which is quite good for twins; both children were nearly five jin, which was acceptable.
Zhang Shan Ni, having seen her husband, finally closed her eyes in peace.
She was really very tired, and the pain from her lower body couldn’t prevent her from falling into a deep sleep.
Xie Jingchen, seeing his wife sleeping deeply, then shifted his gaze to the pair of twins moved into the crib by the nurse. Due to them being held tightly, he couldn’t distinguish their gender. Only then did he realize, it seemed neither the doctors nor the nurses had told him whether the newborns were boys or girls?
Xie Jingchen snorted irritably and took the clothes helplessly, turning to Yan Jinchang seriously, "Take good care of her and the babies."
"Of course!" Yan Jinchang nodded solemnly.
Luckily, there were restrooms inside each suite of the maternity area, so Xie Jingchen took the clothes and went to take a cold shower, changed into a clean set of clothes, and left his dirty clothes soaking in a bucket, while bathing he covered his little wife and babies with his spiritual power.
Due to his mistrust towards the Yan Family members, Xie Jingchen felt it was safer to watch over his wife and children himself.
Soldiers are famously quick at showering. He finished cleaning himself in just five minutes.
Fearing he might dirty the clean clothes, he still washed his dirty clothes four or five times until it no longer smelled bloody and stopped.
Because the blood had been on it for too long, Xie Jingchen could only soak it further with some washing powder.
After rinsing himself again, he finally got dressed.
While Xie Jingchen was bathing, someone through the nurse assisting Zhang Shanni in childbirth, quietly obtained a tube of her blood and stealthily arrived and left without alerting Hu Zhengjie and other soldiers.
Since the nurse did not make any noticeable movements and also because she was in the maternity room, the soldiers’ thorough checks could not involve the nurses in the delivery rooms.
Moreover, the nurse might have recognized that Xie Jingchen and Zhang Shanni had no ordinary statuses, especially with the military district Director Hu’s presence, could their origins be minor?
Thus, after carefully taking the money, she immediately returned to her post, leaving for less than five minutes. Her colleagues thought she had just gone to the restroom and completely missed any odd behavior from her...
