CHAPTER 338: CHAPTER 338: SISTER-IN-LAW GIVING BIRTH (PART 2)

"Brother." Lin Xiaoyan called out to her brother.

Lin Hao saw his sister return and looked at her with confusion, "Give me a moment, I’ll be right there."

Ten minutes later, Lin Hao finally finished serving the last customer.

"What’s up?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "Sister-in-law is going into the operating room to give birth tomorrow morning, you need to arrange at the store, Sister Nan booked a ticket for 1:30 PM..."

Lin Hao was immediately stunned, he didn’t even hear what his sister said afterward.

Right now, his mind was filled with just three words, "Having a baby!"

"Why? Isn’t your sister-in-law’s due date... wasn’t it... just thirty-eight weeks? How could she be giving birth?"

Lin Hao’s mind was a mess now, his heart rate gradually accelerated, and he felt a little nervous.

He fumbled around searching for his phone but couldn’t find it anywhere on him.

"Where’s my phone?"

"Manager, your phone is under the table!" a considerate employee reminded him from behind.

Lin Hao lowered his head and saw his phone, "Oh, here it is..."

When he unlocked it, he saw several missed calls—from both his mom and his wife, plus WeChat messages...

He hurriedly called his wife back.

Lin Xiaoyan walked over, "Brother, don’t worry, the baby will be born tomorrow morning!"

"Oh, the baby will come tomorrow... tomorrow... Hello, Lanlan..."

Hearing his wife’s voice, Lin Hao immediately calmed down and quickly inquired about her situation.

Fan Lalan was stunned the moment the doctor mentioned low amniotic fluid during the ultrasound.

When she heard the doctor say they would deliver the baby by C-section the next morning, she wasn’t even nervous.

She even joked with her in-laws, saying she could finally offload the burden.

But now, hearing her husband’s voice, her tears fell unexpectedly, and she felt a wave of panic and fear.

Lin Hao, hearing his wife’s sobs, quickly comforted her and wished he could fly home immediately to be by her side.

After consoling his wife, learning that his sister had already booked the flight, Lin Hao quickly calmed down.

"Yanyan, you and Sister Nan head back first. I’ll organize things at the store, and after I’ll ride my e-bike home, then we can head to the airport together."

Seeing her brother calm down, Lin Xiaoyan nodded and agreed.

She didn’t go home immediately; she needed to go to the police station across the street to inform her boyfriend that she had to leave again.

He Qi’an looked full of reluctance when he heard his girlfriend, who had just returned, had to leave again.

"Is sister-in-law in danger? Does she need to be transferred to another hospital? Or..." He Qi’an didn’t understand childbirth situations.

Low amniotic fluid sounded very risky to him.

Lin Xiaoyan: "It’s fine, don’t worry. The doctor has already admitted sister-in-law to the hospital, so there should be no problems.

We’ll be home this afternoon, and then I’ll go check on sister-in-law."

He Qi’an understood what Lin Xiaoyan meant by "check."

"Alright, I’ll go back with you, and later I’ll take you to the airport." He Qi’an glanced at the time; it was almost time to get off work.

Lin Xiaoyan quickly stopped him, "No need, we’ll just pack up and take a cab directly; no need to disrupt your work."

"Oh, right, Laicai..."

Thinking about Laicai, Lin Xiaoyan looked at He Qi’an.

The previous time they went to Beijing, Laicai had nowhere to go, so He Qi’an placed Laicai in the police station. There’s someone there 24/7, and everyone liked Laicai a lot, and over those days, he was well-fed by many people.

This time, when she and her brother leave, Laicai will stay in Sea City.

He Qi’an smiled, "You should go back, I’ll pick up Laicai later.

In the evening, I’ll take him home, and during the day, he’ll stay at the police station."

"Last time Laicai stayed at the station, everyone loved him, and after he left, people would still occasionally check on him at the milk tea shop."

The thought of hearing some young officers joking about wanting to smuggle Laicai into the station made him laugh.

"Alright, then I’ll leave Laicai to you." Lin Xiaoyan messaged her brother, informing him that Qi’an would pick up Laicai later.

"I’m off then." Lin Xiaoyan looked at He Qi’an, feeling a bit reluctant.

He Qi’an also felt unwilling. They had finally gotten engaged, yet he couldn’t spend a proper day with his young bride, sigh~

In the end, he couldn’t resist and hugged Lin Xiaoyan, "I’ll wait for you to come back."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan felt a sour warmth in her chest and her eyes became slightly moist, "Okay."

After leaving the police station, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi went back to pack up.

By 4 PM, Lin Xiaoyan, Nan Xi, and her brother returned home.

After putting their luggage in the house, they immediately headed to the hospital.

Considering post-birth commuting, they chose a nearby private hospital.

Though private, the hospital had excellent service and a good, clean environment.

The hospital also offered various VIP room options.

Upon arrival, Lin Xiaoyan and her companions went straight to the inpatient department.

"Brother, mom’s message says room 203 on the second floor."

Lin Xiaoyan called out to her brother, who seemed dazed, heading forward.

Hearing his sister’s words, Lin Hao stopped; he didn’t know why, but being in the hospital made him feel extremely anxious.

"Brother, what’s wrong with you?"

In the elevator, Lin Xiaoyan noticed her brother’s pale face and sweating forehead, feeling worried.

Lin Hao forcibly smiled, "It’s nothing, just a bit nervous."

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her brother and reminded him, "Don’t be nervous. If you’re anxious when you see sister-in-law, she’ll become nervous and scared too!

Especially at a time like this, you need to stay calm!

You have to be there for sister-in-law, reassure her, and make her feel at ease!"

The elevator arrived, and Lin Hao took a deep breath, exhaling heavily, "Okay, I got it."

Lin Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, trying to calm himself, then walked out with purpose.

"Hahaha, we were originally discussing with her father which day would be good. Now, we don’t have to think about it; the little one picked his own day..."

Arriving at the ward door, they heard what seemed like Fan Lalan’s mother’s voice from inside.

"Dad, Mom." Lin Hao entered first, and upon entry, saw his parents and in-laws in the room.

His wife was sitting on the hospital bed eating an apple.

Seeing his wife in that state made him feel relieved.

Lin Xiaoyan followed closely, politely greeting her sister-in-law’s parents.

"Oh, Little Hao, Yanyan, you’re back!" Mrs. Fan was extremely pleased to see her son-in-law return.

"Lanlan..." Lin Hao approached his wife, touched her hand, and asked, "How do you feel?"

Fan Lalan felt much calmer with her husband around, but with her parents present, she couldn’t act coy, simply saying she felt okay.

Lin Mu, upon seeing her daughter back, felt a bit sorry for her.

Her daughter had just returned from Beijing to Sea City last night, hadn’t even rested, and now came back from Sea City today.
