Chapter 0191 Never Having Another Child
Early morning on the day of my due date.
It was still pitch black outside the window.
Wen Ning was sleeping soundly when suddenly she felt a warm surge beneath her.
She opened her eyes.
There was no panic, no shouting.
She reached out and nudged the man beside her, who remained alert even in his sleep, clinging tightly to her.
"Jiang Ci."
Her voice was very soft, even carrying a hint of curiosity.
"I think... my water broke."
Jiang Ci suddenly opened his eyes.
In that instant, the drowsiness in his eyes vanished completely.
Instead, there was an extremely terrifying shock.
"Break...break the water?"
He sat up abruptly, the movement so sudden he almost fell off the bed.
The dignified CEO of Limitless scrambled out of bed.
He reached for the car keys on the bedside table.
My hands were shaking like a leaf.
"Clatter".
The key fell on the carpet.
He bent down to pick it up, but he couldn't get it steady after two tries.
His breathing quickened, and a layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
Wen Ning looked at him like this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Jiang Ci, don't panic, I'm not in pain. The doctor said there's still time after your water breaks."
Jiang Ci wouldn't listen to a word.
He found that he couldn't even hold the key anymore.
Give up decisively.
He grabbed his phone, dialed the driver's number, and yelled:
"Get to the basement immediately! To the hospital! Quickly!"
Then, he took the maternity bag that had been prepared in advance and picked Wen Ning up in his arms.
The arm was tightly bound.
It was as if he were holding the most fragile treasure in the world.
……
Outside the VIP delivery room on the top floor of the Third Municipal Hospital.
The pale light of the corridor shone on Jiang Ci.
The delivery room door was tightly closed.
Wen Ning has been inside for two hours.
Jiang Ci paced back and forth in the corridor.
His leather shoes trod on the floor tiles, his steps were messy and haphazard.
He had already torn off his tie.
The top two buttons of the shirt were roughly ripped open.
Her face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, making her look even more like a patient than the women in labor in the delivery room.
Jiang's parents also arrived.
Seeing her son looking like he was about to collapse at any moment, Jiang's mother sighed repeatedly.
"Aci, sit down and rest for a while. This is normal for women after childbirth. Ningning has a good constitution, she'll be fine."
Jiang Ci turned a deaf ear.
His gaze was fixed intently on the two doors.
It was as if they wanted to see right through the door panel.
Sudden.
A suppressed cry of pain came from the crack in the door.
"what……"
The sound wasn't loud.
But to Jiang Ci, it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
The string that had been taut in his mind for nine months finally snapped.
"Ningning!"
Jiang Ci lunged towards the delivery room door.
He pushed hard against the two tightly closed sensor doors, his eyes bloodshot, like a mad beast.
"Open the door! Let me in!"
"Mr. Jiang! You can't go in! A sterile delivery is taking place inside!"
Two nurses rushed over and held him back.
Jiang Ci was incredibly strong; he almost pushed the nurse away.
"She cried out in pain! She couldn't take it anymore!"
He spoke through the crack in the door, his voice hoarse, filled with a despair on the verge of collapse.
"I'm not having any more children!"
"Wen Ning, we're not having children! Come out!"
"C-section! Anesthesia! Take the baby out! I'm not giving birth!"
He was rambling incoherently, and had even forgotten common sense.
All he knew was that she was in pain.
He couldn't bear to see her in even the slightest pain.
Zhang Annian and several bodyguards rushed up and hugged him tightly from behind.
"Brother Ci! Calm down! We'll be out in a minute! You'll get infected if you go in now!"
Jiang Ci struggled violently.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and tears were welling up in them.
He gripped the door frame tightly, his knuckles turning bluish-white from the excessive force.
If this doesn't end soon, he might actually tear this hospital down.
……
Jiang Ci was on the verge of completely losing control.
"Wow--!!!"
A loud and powerful baby cry rang out.
It penetrated the thick soundproof door.
The sound echoed throughout the entire corridor.
Everyone stopped moving.
Jiang Ci stood frozen in place.
The fingers that were gripping the door frame tightly slowly loosened.
"bite."
The red light above the delivery room went out.
The automatic doors slid open slowly to both sides.
A nurse came out carrying a baby wrapped in soft swaddling clothes.
His face was beaming with joy.
"Congratulations Mr. Jiang, mother and daughter are safe and sound! It's a healthy baby girl weighing 6 pounds 8 ounces..."
The nurse hadn't finished speaking.
A gust of wind blew past her.
Jiang Ci didn't even glance at his biological daughter, whom he had been looking forward to for ten months.
He didn't even spare a glance from the corner of his eye.
He bypassed the nurses and rushed into the delivery room.
On the delivery bed.
Wen Ning lay there weakly.
Her hair was completely soaked with sweat, and strands of it clung to her pale cheeks.
She was breathing heavily and looked extremely tired.
Jiang Ci rushed to the bedside.
His knees buckled.
With a "plop," she knelt down in front of the delivery bed.
He stretched out his trembling hands.
He carefully cupped Wen Ning's face in his hands.
"Ningning..."
He spoke, but his voice was broken and incoherent.
Wen Ning opened his eyes with difficulty.
Seeing his face covered in tears, he managed a weak smile.
"Why are you crying... I'm fine..."
Jiang Ci remained silent.
He lowered his head and pressed his burning lips against her sweaty forehead.
He kissed her deeply and intensely.
Salty sweat mingled with his tears.
That was the relief of surviving a disaster.
He buried his face in the crook of her neck.
His shoulders were heaving violently.
Like a lost child who has finally found a safe haven, she cried without any regard for her image.
"Thanks for your hard work."
He held her hand tightly and kept kissing her fingertips.
Her voice choked with emotion, yet carried an undeniable resolve.
"I will never have any more children."
"I will never have another child in this lifetime."
This one thing alone has already cost him half his life.
He would never allow her to suffer like that again.
……
Two hours later.
VIP special care ward.
Wen Ning had already fallen into a deep sleep.
His complexion regained a little color, and his breathing became long and steady.
Jiang Ci sat on the edge of the bed.
He had changed out of his sweaty shirt and washed his face in the bathroom.
After calming down, President Jiang finally remembered that he had a newborn daughter.
The nanny gently placed the swaddled baby in the crib next to Wen Ning.
Jiang Ci turned his head away.
For the first time, I looked at that little life with real care.
Very small.
It's very soft.
Because it was just born, its skin was still a little red.
But her facial features already showed extremely delicate contours, and her small mouth was unconsciously smacking.
A small, exquisitely crafted ball.
Jiang Ci extended his index finger.
He gently touched the small hand that was barely bigger than his thumb.
The baby seemed to sense something.
In his sleep, his tiny fingers suddenly curled up.
She gripped his fingers tightly.
A weak, limp force.
It felt like an electric current, striking straight to the heart.
Jiang Ci looked at the sleeping Wen Ning.
Then he looked at his daughter, who was gripping his fingers tightly.
three years ago.
He thought he would rot and stink in the dark mire for the rest of his life.
Three years later.
His light not only returned, but also brought him a miracle of blood connection.
Sunlight streamed in through the window.
The light shone on the one adult and two children.
Jiang Ci slightly curled the corners of her lips.
It was a complete, relieved, and regretless smile.
His world.
At this moment.
It's finally completely complete.
