The Enhanced Doctor

Chapter 1104: Chapter 1104: He Really Guessed Right

No matter whose family is having a baby, it’s a big deal, an extraordinary event.

For Liu Banxia, Qiaoqiao having a baby isn’t just a simple major event.

He immediately took the day off today; even if the sky falls, he lets Chen Xuehai handle it first because he needs to accompany his wife for the childbirth.

The contractions started at around eleven in the morning, while everyone was discussing what to have for lunch. Then Liu Banxia got excited and called over Huang Ying.

Actually, he’s a doctor himself and should know that contractions are merely a signal for childbirth, but at that moment, he chose to selectively forget this.

So he used his privilege and sent Qiaoqiao directly to the operating room. Huang Ying was quite helpless because the contractions had just begun, and the delivery was still some time away.

It’s now three o’clock in the afternoon, and Qiaoqiao has been inside for over four hours without any movement yet.

"Banxia, why don’t you take a rest? Watching you pace around is making me dizzy," Qiao Xuezhi said.

"I’m just a bit worried that I sent her in too early," Liu Banxia said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Uncle, just let him roam around. When he was sitting just now, he wasn’t calm either, making us all incredibly nervous," Wang Xiaoyan said.

"Concerned about Qiaoqiao, as the nurse mentioned earlier, it will still be a while. Banxia, stay calm for now," Qiu Huaili added.

In his impression, he had never seen Liu Banxia so out of control before.

But he understood. When he was expecting his son and daughter, he was also on edge. This kind of thing makes anyone anxious and restless.

"Anyway, I just feel today is going smoothly. Doctor Huang mentioned that only 5% of births occur on the due date, and Qiaoqiao hit the mark," Wang Jingxian also chimed in.

"When you’re worried, things get chaotic. I should have insisted on going in to keep her company, but she refused. She insisted that her business was her own and that she would give birth to her own child. I have half the intellectual property rights too," Liu Banxia complained.

"Sigh... In our casual chats before, Qiaoqiao mentioned being afraid of the pain of childbirth in the future. I didn’t expect she would ultimately insist on a natural birth. She’s really strong," Qiaoqiao said.

"Hehe, my wife. Once she makes up her mind, she won’t relax; she must stick to the end," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

Everyone watching found it very amusing.

"In-laws, once the baby is born, we’ll go to Jinbao for a celebration dinner tonight," Qiao Xuezhi leaned over to Liu Qingdong.

"Alright, as long as you arrange it, I’ll follow your lead," Liu Qingdong nodded.

"Everything is settled; I’ll handle it," Qiao Xuezhi said.

Although the relationship between the two families’ elders is generally good, this is ultimately Liu Banxia’s child. Even though he is the maternal grandfather, with Liu Banxia around, his father’s opinion must be respected.

Being from the older generation, they pay particular attention to these things. Even if one family has money, they can’t just do whatever they want; mutual respect is necessary.

"Director Liu, she’s already dilated to seven centimeters. Currently, Sister Qiaoqiao and the babies are stable, and Sister Qiaoqiao is in good condition," a nurse from the obstetrics department rushed out at this time.

"Thanks, anyway, it’s troublesome for you," Liu Banxia said.

"Why be so polite with me? Doctor Huang said it’s soon, and there should be no problem," the nurse said before heading back inside.

Liu Banxia waved his fist. It’s getting closer, it’s really getting closer.

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, how many did Sister Qiaoqiao give birth to?"

As Liu Banxia was pacing, Qiu Mingyuan hurried over with Xiao Yue.

"What are you talking about? She hasn’t given birth yet," Qiu Huaili glared at him.

"Haha, Old Qiu, it’s alright. It’s soon; she’ll be giving birth any moment now. No classes?" Liu Banxia interjected with a laugh.

Qiu Mingyuan nodded, "I don’t have any classes all afternoon. Yueyue has a class; we came over right after it ended. Is everybody waiting for Sister Qiaoqiao to have the baby? Quite a strong support team."

"Everyone is concerned about Qiaoqiao, especially since she chose to have a natural birth. Everyone is waiting eagerly," Liu Banxia said.

"That’s just what it means to become a proper dad. Don’t worry, in a few years, I’ll be having one too," Qiu Mingyuan said.

Xiao Yue gave him a good-natured slap. He just speaks without restraint.

"Teacher Liu, Teacher Liu, how’s it going? Has the wife given birth?" At this moment, Liu Yiqing ran over.

"Almost there. Is it busy down there?" Liu Banxia asked.

"Not really, today’s a good day; there were no emergency surgeries in the afternoon. The patients are all in simple conditions, or they’re here for dressing changes," Liu Yiqing said.

"I’m not heading back for now. They’ll call me if it gets really busy. I’m waiting here. Teacher Liu, did you prepare any good food?"

"We have lots of good food, and the cafeteria is adding extra dishes for everyone at dinner," Liu Banxia said with a smile.

"Can’t take everyone out to eat, so we’ll have to make do at the cafeteria. Who’s not working at night? You can come along to Jinbao for a meal,"

"Hehe, we’re not going; staying in the hospital with Teacher’s wife is good enough," Liu Yiqing said with a grin.

"Clever, naturally knowing that even in the hospital, you’ll definitely have food brought back for you," Liu Banxia said.

Being teased about her little secret, Liu Yiqing didn’t mind; after all, today was a day worth celebrating.

She and Xu Yino were much more "calm" than Liu Banxia and had also inquired with the obstetrics department about the situation, knowing that Qiaoqiao was currently fine in the operating room.

The time to come still requires waiting.

Delivering a child isn’t something that can be controlled manually; it can only play a supportive role to some extent.

The longer the waiting time, the more anxious Liu Banxia became.

Because he worried that Qiaoqiao was carrying twins, and delivering one was painful enough; she might not have the strength left when delivering the second.

However, Qiaoqiao was the one in charge, and her opinions were prioritized. Even if he had these concerns, he still had to listen to Qiaoqiao.

Waiting and waiting until 4:32 PM, a nurse came out holding a little baby.

"Director Liu, the first baby is a boy, would you like to take a look?" the nurse asked with a smile.

Upon hearing her words, others gathered around while Liu Banxia stood there dumbfounded.

"Qiaoqiao, how is Qiaoqiao?" After coming to his senses, Liu Banxia also moved closer.

"Everything is fine at the moment; the first baby was delivered smoothly, and the second is currently being born," the nurse said with a smile.

"It’s cold outside, quickly take the baby back in." Liu Banxia added.

The nurse nodded with a smile and took the baby back inside.

"Brother Liu, I didn’t even get a good look." Qiu Mingyuan said.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, you can take a good look tomorrow. Look however you like." Liu Banxia replied with a laugh.

"The first one, the first one. Although I’ve delivered babies before, I still feel my child looks a bit ugly. But it’s okay, they grow to look better; otherwise, there’s no room for development."

Listening to Liu Banxia’s murmuring, everyone didn’t know what to say.

"Hehe, such a tiny baby is quite interesting to look at. Should we bathe the baby later?" Wang Xiaoyan asked.

"Oh, you can’t bathe them so soon; their body temperature is quite low immediately after birth, and the umbilical cord has just been taken care of. Bathing now could lead to chilling or infection." Liu Banxia said nervously.

Wang Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, "You’re really a dad now, I was just asking and you’re so nervous! But our Qiaoqiao is truly amazing, giving birth to one, and there’s a second one to come."

Then Wang Xiaoyan plunged into the group of girlfriends and started chatting non-stop.

For them, this is also a brand new experience. If it were someone else, they might not have the time to wait here, maybe only send a gift of money.

But Qiaoqiao is different; she’s really thoughtful towards her friends. Quite a few people took leave to come today, if they were to deliver tomorrow, they wouldn’t be able to see it.

This time the wait was even longer. If Liu Banxia was like an ant on a hot pan initially, constantly pacing around, now he was stationed at the door.

Actually, he could have gone in, and no one would have stopped him. But he chose to uphold his duty as a patient’s family member, no news is the best news at this moment.

As the wait only had two outcomes, either the second child would be brought out, or he would be informed that there was difficulty in delivery, requiring a cesarean section.

He couldn’t do anything; all he could do now was wait.

"Teacher Liu, should I go in and check?" At some unknown time, Xu Yino had come running over too.

"It’s alright, just waiting is fine now; everything will be okay." Liu Banxia replied.

It was also a psychological suggestion to himself; after all, every passing second added more to his worries.

After waiting another ten minutes, sweat started to bead on Liu Banxia’s forehead.

He hadn’t researched this area, even if he did, he might not be able to determine the interval between the births of twins.

Actually, this isn’t certain; the human body is so mysterious, and there aren’t always definite rules.

He looked at his watch every few seconds; for him, it wasn’t just a matter of feeling every day like a year.

"Director Liu, the second baby is a girl, congratulations! You have both a son and a daughter; Sister Qiaoqiao is fine too."

Liu Banxia was checking his watch when the nurse emerged with the second baby.

Hearing this sentence, with his baby right in front of him, Liu Banxia felt like all his strength was drained from him, almost sitting directly on the ground.

It was only thanks to Qiu Mingyuan’s quick reflexes in supporting him that prevented anything more from happening.

Seeing clearly now, the little one had a somewhat sour expression on their face, at least that’s what he felt.

"Director Liu, would you like to hold them?" the nurse asked with a smile.

Liu Banxia quickly shook his head; he dared to deliver babies, yet he didn’t dare hold his own. He was worried about using too much force and hurting the little one.

He felt quite sentimental in his heart; the guy’s prediction had turned out to be true.
