Chapter 873

"Why is it so quiet?" Qiao Anxia asked again, then shot Chen Yang a look for consolation . Having never experienced such a thing, he wore a grave expression on his face and shook his head to say he had no idea .

Lu Jinnian held his pose . He didn't move an inch, but his heart had already shot up to his throat .

"Nothing bad could've happened, right?" said Zhao Meng .

"Nah it can't be, right?" said Chen Yang .

Xu Jiamu anxiously also spoke up . "But why hasn't there been any sound in there for so long?"

The assistant completely unintentionally said, "I heard in the news recently that there was a doctor who secretly ran out of the delivery room because the pregnant woman and child died . . . "

After having calmed down with much difficulty due to Qiao Anxia's chatter, Lu Jinnian's entire body suddenly trembled . Like a crazy person, he hurled himself at the delivery room door and kicked it incredibly hard . The door shook so hard, the glass vibrated with a clang .

Just as Lu Jinnian was close to losing it completely, a sudden "Waaaaah" came from inside .

The cry was crisp and powerful, striking every single person's eardrum .

"It's born! It's born!" Qiao Anxia abruptly reached her hand out and grabbed the assistant beside her into a hug . She jumped twice happily on the spot before Chen Yang dragged her into his arms .

The assistant's smiling face was instantly filled with joy . "Mr . Lu, Miss Xiao Qiao has given birth . . . "

Zhao Meng excitedly cried, "Qiao Qiao finally gave birth!"

Xu Jiamu's body visibly relaxed . "I'm an uncle!"

Lu Jinnian was the only one who stood on the spot, with no reaction at all, like he was in a daze .

Just as they were going to pull the door open, a nurse came out hugging a cleaned baby, and said with a happy smile, "Congratulations Mr . Lu, it's a boy . "

"Let me see, let me see!"

A group of them huddled together in a mess around him .

"Ahhh, so cute!"

"Yeah, so soft and smooth . . . "

"Ahhh, he's smiling at me!"

All of a sudden, Lu Jinnian snapped back to reality . Without even taking a glance at Little Rice Cake, who was surrounded by everyone, he legged it towards the delivery room and hurled himself towards the bed and crouched down .

Qiao Anhao lay there drenched in sweat . Her face was pale white, her eyes slightly closed, and her breathing unstable . She looked so weak .

Lu Jinnian stared at her like that for a long time, before he abruptly grabbed her hand . "Qiao Qiao . . . " .

When Qiao Anhao heard his voice, she slightly lifted her eyelids . Instantly she saw that Lu Jinnian had an awful expression . She started to feel a warm sensation from the bottom of her heart . As she pursed the corner of her lips, she said in sweet and aggrieved voice, "Really hurts . "

Lu Jinnian squeezed her hand hard, and nodded his head frantically, then said, "Sorry" . He put her hand to his lips and kissed it, as tears crashed heavily down . "Let's never have another baby, no more . "

When he said this, Qiao Anhao clearly felt his hand tremble . After holding her hand for a short minute, his palms were soaked . So he was more nervous than she was whilst giving birth to their child .

In an instant, all the pain she'd gone through just now felt like it was all worth the happiness .
