On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 70 Dystocia
Grandma Xiao, who was sewing shoe soles for her soon-to-be-born grandchildren inside the house, rushed out after hearing the noise.

Then Li Xiuying plopped down on the ground.

Seeing that it was drizzling outside and her mother-in-law was busy, Li Xiuying thought of going to the yard to collect the two pieces of clothing. However, she accidentally stepped on the moss, slipped, and fell.

"Mom, my stomach, my stomach hurts so much..."

Li Xiuying, pale-faced, clutched her stomach as a warm sensation flowed from below.

My water broke.

"Xiuying, don't be afraid, Mom will take you to the hospital right now!"

As Grandma Xiao spoke, she tried to help Li Xiuying up from the ground, but Li Xiuying was pregnant with twins and was heavy. Now that her water had broken, she was too nervous to exert any strength. Grandma Xiao tried to pull her up several times but failed.

"Help! Help!"

Grandma Xiao called out anxiously.

"It sounds like Grandma Xiao's voice."

Upon hearing Old Lady Xiao's voice, Song Jinyue, who was passing by, quickly walked over.

Wang Lichun and Liu Yuwen also jogged towards the residential compound where Grandma Xiao's family lived.

"Grandma Xiao, what happened?"

As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw Li Xiuying sitting on the ground, pale-faced, while Old Lady Xiao called for help and used her body to shield her daughter-in-law from the raindrops falling from above.

"Jin Yue, quick! Xiu Ying has fallen and her stomach hurts! Help me get her up!"

Upon seeing Song Jinyue, Old Lady Xiao waved to her anxiously.

Song Jinyue strode over.

"Xiuying, Xiuying, are you alright? Get up quickly!"

Wang Lichun and Liu Yuwen, who followed behind, were startled when they saw this and quickly stepped forward to help Li Xiuying up.

"Baby, baby... Mom, my stomach hurts so much..."

Li Xiuying held her mother-in-law's hand tightly, terrified and nervous, afraid that something might happen to the baby in her womb.

"Xiuying, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the baby will be alright, let's go to the hospital now!"

Grandma Xiao forced herself to calm down, and after speaking, she ran back into the house to get an umbrella.

The family compound is some distance from the hospital, and the intense pain made it impossible for Li Xiuying to walk.

"Auntie, Meili's family has a tricycle. I'll go borrow it right now!"

Seeing that Li Xiuying was in so much pain that she couldn't walk, Wang Lichun was about to run out to borrow a tricycle after she finished speaking.

"Sister-in-law, I can drive. When I came over just now, I saw Xiao Zhengwei's car parked at the door. Let's drive there!"

After Song Jinyue finished speaking, she looked at Grandma Xiao and asked, "Grandma Xiao, where are the car keys?"

Grandma Xiao wiped away her tears, "The key, the key seems to be in the car."

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Jinyue ran out into the rain. The roar of a car engine filled the air as Song Jinyue skillfully drove the jeep to Li Xiuying's side.

"Grandma Xiao, sister-in-law, quickly help Sister Xiuying into the car!"

Wang Lichun quickly opened the car door and, together with Liu Yuwen, helped Li Xiuying to the back seat. Grandma Xiao also got into the car and took care of Li Xiuying in the back.

"Sister-in-law, I'll take Sister Xiuying to the hospital right now. If the commissar comes back later, please tell him."

"Alright, Jin Yue, you two go quickly, and drive carefully."

Wang Lichun waved to Liu Yuwen, watching the jeep fade from their sight with a worried expression.

Several neighbors who rushed over after hearing Grandma Xiao's shouts saw the two of them standing at the door and quickly inquired about the situation.

"Lichun, Yuwen, what happened? We thought we heard Aunt Xiao calling for help." "Sister-in-law Xiuying fell, and Jinyue has already driven her to the hospital."

"What? You tripped and fell? Ouch, how could you be so careless? Is Sooyoung alright?"

When the neighbors heard that Li Xiuying, who was heavily pregnant, had fallen, they were all quite worried about her.

Wang Lichun nervously clasped her hands together. "It looks like she's going to give birth early. I don't know the specifics. Let's talk about it when she gets back."

"Nothing will happen, nothing will happen. Xiuying is almost due, she's only a little over ten days early, she'll definitely have a safe delivery."

“That’s right, let’s wait patiently. It won’t be long before Xiuying comes back with the child.”

The neighbors were all praying for Li Xiuying, each offering their own words.

A light drizzle was falling from the sky. Five or six military wives stood in front of the family compound where Xiao Zhengwei's family lived, anxiously waiting for news.

Meanwhile, Song Jinyue rushed Li Xiuying to the military hospital as quickly as possible.

Li Xiuying's face turned deathly pale with pain, large beads of sweat dripped down her face, and the stray hairs on her forehead were soaked with sweat, sticking tightly to her forehead and temples.

"Doctor, doctor, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth! Quick, please help deliver her baby!"

Upon arriving at the hospital, Grandma Xiao immediately got out of the car and ran inside, her voice trembling without her even realizing it.

Soon, a doctor arrived with a trolley and together they lifted Li Xiuying onto it, then pushed her toward the delivery room.

Li Xiuying cried out in pain.

Grandma Xiao's eyes were red, and she held her hand with a pained expression, comforting her again and again.

"Xiuying, Xiuying, don't be afraid, Mom is here, Mom is here, Mom will stay outside and guard you, I won't go anywhere."

"Auntie, we need to deliver the baby for the patient. Please wait outside the delivery room."

When they arrived at the delivery room, the doctor said something to Grandma Xiao.

Grandma Xiao nodded, released Li Xiuying's hand, and said with red eyes, "Doctor, thank you for your help. My daughter-in-law is giving birth for the first time and has no experience. Please take good care of her."

"Don't worry, Auntie, this is what we should do."

After saying that, he pushed Li Xiuying into the delivery room.

Xiao Zhengwei was supposed to have a meeting today, and his bodyguard was supposed to pick him up from the family compound, but he changed his plans at the last minute and parked the car in the family compound first.

Fortunately, the car was parked at the family compound; otherwise, given Li Xiuying's condition, any further delay on the road would have likely caused her great suffering.

Fearing that Committee Member Zheng might need a car, Song Jinyue drove back to the family compound after dropping Li Xiuying and Grandma Xiao off at the hospital.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Xiao Zhengwei, who was rushing over, and the two went to the hospital together.

"Mom, how is Xiuying?"

As soon as Xiao Zhengwei arrived at the hospital corridor, he saw Old Madam Xiao pacing back and forth outside the delivery room with a worried expression.

He strode forward and took Old Lady Xiao's arm.

Upon seeing her son arrive, the elderly Mrs. Xiao, who had been living in constant fear, felt her eyes well up with tears and could no longer hold back her emotions.

"Zhanling, you're here. It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of Xiuying, and she fell down."

Grandma Xiao was so focused on sewing the shoe soles that she didn't notice it was drizzling outside. If she had known it was raining, she would never have let Li Xiuying take off her clothes.

"Mom, don't blame yourself, Xiuying, she..."

Before Xiao Zhengwei could finish speaking, the door to the delivery room opened.

"The mother's baby is in an abnormal position, and she is facing a difficult labor. The situation is critical. Should we save the mother or the baby?"
