Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Unexpected Premature Birth

Several days quickly passed, and Zhang Lijuan and Si Boyi had their stitches removed, ready to be discharged from the hospital. Tong Yao also had a talk with Gu Hongwei about leaving for Kyoto the following day.

Since Zhang Lijuan’s Full Moon Wine Ceremony coincided with Tong Yao’s due date, she could not attend, so she had to leave earlier.

On the day of discharge, Gu Hongwei assisted Si Boyi, Chen Jinlan helped Zhang Lijuan, and Tong Yao held Tuantuan’s hand while heading to the parking lot. In that era, Li City Hospital had not yet developed an underground car park, so cars were parked in the hospital courtyard.

Just as Tong Yao was helping Tuantuan into the car, a roar erupted from behind her. "Damn girl, it’s you..."

Before Tong Yao could react, a powerful force yanked her arm, everything happened so suddenly. Helping Tuantuan into the car, she was entirely unprepared, her heavily pregnant belly also made her slightly clumsy.

She lost her balance and fell to the ground, feeling a sudden surge of pain in her belly. The shock turned her face deathly pale. The man was taken aback, he had merely been angry in the moment and hadn’t imagined he would knock her over.

The anger on his face turned into horror as he stared at Tong Yao, not knowing how to react. Tong Yao felt a warm flow beneath her, although she had not given birth before, she knew her water had broken.

The quick-reacting Gu Hongwei rushed over from the other side of the car to help Tong Yao. Upon seeing her soaked clothes, his heart felt a pang. Chen Jinlan was also startled.

Gu Hongwei lifted Tong Yao and yelled at Chen Jinlan, "Quickly get a doctor!"

Without further ado, he immediately carried Tong Yao towards the emergency room. Chen Jinlan, heeding his words, quickly dashed in front to find a doctor.

Zhang Lijuan and Si Boyi were dumbfounded. Holding their son, they also hurried after them, leaving the man staring, unable to react for a long time.

Seeing Tong Yao had made him angry, after all, just a few days ago, it was her dog that bit him, causing him to be unable to sit down for a long time, forcing him to sleep on his side. He hadn’t intended to hurt a pregnant woman...

Tong Yao felt intense pain in her belly, breaking out in cold sweat from the pain. She bit her lip, unable to speak, her mind in a fog, worried about the child in her womb.

She didn’t know how she was taken to the emergency room. Only knowing that Gu Hongwei held her for a long time, and then once inside the delivery room, the pain in her belly intensified. The pain felt worse than being struck by lightning. Her premature birth being an unexpected accident, the head of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department was the one who delivered her babies.

Initially thought she would also need to have a cesarean section, but the head of the obstetrics and gynaecology department inspected her and said it was not necessary. Tong Yao felt pain for several hours, with it growing more intense. By the time the first child was born, she was nearly on the verge of collapse.

After the doctor helped her deliver one child and seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief, Tong Yao weakly managed to say, "I’m carrying twins, there’s another one."

She could feel that the other baby was also about to be born.

Upon hearing her words, the doctors and nurses in the delivery room were stunned. They hurriedly resumed their work, and after the second baby was born, Tong Yao finally relaxed, promptly passing out.

In her daze, she heard the cries of two babies. Despite their premature birth, the crying sounds of both babies were loud. Tong Yao’s consciousness was weak, but she knew that both children were safe.

By the time she woke up, it was already late at night. Si Boyi, who was supposed to be discharged, ended up staying at the hospital for an additional day. Chen Jinlan and Zhang Lijuan were persuaded to head home by Gu Hongwei and Zheng Xiaoshuang.

Thinking that since Tong Yao has given birth, there was no danger now. Having two babies in the hospital would only disturb her rest, Zhang Lijuan reluctantly headed home with Chen Jinlan.

Zheng Xiaoshuang sat by Tong Yao’s bedside. She was the first to notice that Tong Yao was awake and excitedly exclaimed, "Sister Yaoyao is awake."

Gu Hongwei and Si Boyi, upon hearing this, came quickly to have a look. Although Tong Yao was still somewhat weak, she remembered that she had been knocked down, and subsequently gave birth to two healthy babies.

Upon this realization, Tong Yao instinctively looked around, but found there were no babies in the ward. Recognizing her quest, Gu Hongwei said, "The children were born prematurely and are a little weak, so they haven’t been brought over yet."

Hearing this, Tong Yao felt a lump in her throat. She wanted to speak, but her throat was dry. After Zheng Xiaoshuang gave her some water to drink, she felt a little better and her mind became clearer.

"I remember the children crying very loudly."

Gu Hongwei said, "That’s what the head of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department said. She said one baby weighs over five pounds and the other only four."

This weight, in the twenty-first century, is not considered too light. They would be fine after staying in the incubator for a little while. However, in this era, Tong Yao didn’t know how to proceed, so she asked, "What did the doctor say exactly? The babies won’t be in any trouble, will they?"

Before Gu Hongwei could speak, the head of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department walked in from outside. She checked Tong Yao’s condition and gave a few words of advice. She behaved entirely normally, as if dealing with any regular patient, without any personal emotion. Seeing her like this, Tong Yao didn’t quite know what to think, feeling uneasy somehow.

When Tong Yao asked about the children, she kept a blank expression and in an official tone said, "The boy will be fine, can be brought over tomorrow. The girl’s situation is not promising. Rest assured, we will do our best to save her. You can eat now."

Hearing this, Tong Yao’s heart felt even more suspended. Before she could reply, the head of the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department had already left the room.

The room fell silent for a moment. While everyone was thrilled that Tong Yao had given birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, they were also worried about the kids.

Zheng Xiaoshuang, afraid that Tong Yao would worry too much, hurriedly reassured her, "Sister Yaoyao, the kids will definitely be fine. Don’t worry too much."

Having just delivered twins and slept for several hours, Tong Yao’s thoughts were a little scattered. She nodded, and Zheng Xiaoshuang suggested, "You must be hungry. I’ll go get something for you to eat. After all, you’ll have to look after two children soon—you need to regain your strength."

"I want to have some white porridge."

Tong Yao was a bit hungry. However, she only wanted something light to eat. Giving birth had drained her energy, and she was constantly sweating. She had planned to give birth in Kyoto initially, and had not expected the children to be born prematurely in Li City.

Thinking of the man who had knocked her down, Tong Yao’s face turned cold. He had stolen her dog and almost hurt her children. She swore to remember this grudge.

Zheng Xiaoshuang was about to head out when she was stopped by Gu Hongwei, "Let me go instead! I’ll also make a call to inform Uncle Tong and Aunt Wen about the birth."

Given the current situation, Tong Yao could only recuperate in Li City before returning to Kyoto. He had been worried about Tong Yao and had stayed in the ward, not leaving. Now, it was time to call home and share the joyous news.
