MGASC -Chapter 180 The Only One He Cares About Is Zhang Qiao, And It’s Only Her

Lin Tianyue’s mind turned over, and he immediately understood—this had to be arranged by Gu Yu. That kid had a wide network and was skilled at social dealings. Just yesterday at the airport, he even mentioned giving a gift; Lin Tianyue, in his hurry to come back, had just thought he was joking.

Since Lin Tianyue wanted Zhang Qiao’s ears to be spared some noise and had even planned to pay a high price for it, with Gu Yu having this intention, Lin Tianyue had no reason not to accept it graciously.

“Nurse, we’ll move now.”

“Okay, then could this gentleman help? Follow me to handle the paperwork.”

Twenty minutes later, after eating and drinking, Zhang Qiao was transferred to the upstairs VIP ward.

It was a suite. Inside were two single beds and a thoughtfully prepared baby crib. Outside, there was a lounge and a private bathroom. The conditions were far better than downstairs.

Zhang Ling and Jin Quan packed the last two bundles and were about to leave. The two little girls—one feeding her baby brother rice soup, the other carrying a pile of diapers to the laundry room—caught Zhang Ling’s attention.

Scenes like this made Zhang Ling a little sad.

She thought back to when she and Zhang Qiao were children, being summoned around by their parents in the same way.

At such a young age, they had to shoulder the burden of taking care of their younger brother. Back then, she had been conditioned by their parents and even thought it was the right thing to do.

But now, seeing the same scene again, Zhang Ling felt a surge of resentment from the bottom of her heart.

Not all parents truly love and care for their children. At least in some people’s eyes, only boys deserve love.

Zhang Ling also felt a subtle worry for her sister. What if Qiao Qiao gave birth to a daughter—would Lin Tianyue’s attitude change? Would he stop being so thoughtful toward her?

With these thoughts in her heart, she went upstairs. Jin Quan took the package from her hand: “What are you thinking about? Always frowning like that?”

“Nothing…”

“You’re just carrying too many thoughts, overthinking everything.”

Tall and long-legged, Jin Quan quickly pulled ahead, leaving her behind in a few strides.

Zhang Ling examined herself—am I always frowning?

It seemed she really was…

But Zhang Qiao was different. She had a broad mind and thought broadly.

Ah, maybe she should learn from her sister; overthinking really doesn’t change anything.

…

Upstairs, after Zhang Qiao settled in and rested for a while, the pain intensified.

Gradually, it became unbearable. Lin Tianyue massaged her lower back for a while, and seeing she couldn’t hold on, he quickly went to find a doctor.

The doctor came and examined her—Zhang Qiao’s cervix was already six to seven centimeters dilated.

“Get ready, it’s time to enter the delivery room.”

Zhang Qiao asked nervously, “This… is it almost time?”

“Yes, soon!”

Zhang Qiao looked at Lin Tianyue anxiously. His expression grew serious as he asked the doctor, “Can I go in with her?”

“No! Men don’t go into delivery rooms. What are you talking about?”

And so, Lin Tianyue could only watch helplessly as Zhang Qiao was pushed into the delivery room.

He held her hand tightly until the door and then finally let go. Even as he gazed desperately at the door, he reminded her, “Qiao Qiao, don’t be afraid. I’ll be right outside waiting for you.”

When the door closed, Lin Tianyue felt an emptiness in his chest.

After a while, a nurse brought him a form to sign, outlining all the potential risks involved in childbirth.

Lin Tianyue read the words again and again. His hands trembled, and his temples throbbed.

“How can giving birth be so dangerous? Why didn’t you tell me this before?”

“Don’t worry, it’s just routine.”

“Just routine? Can you guarantee she’ll be safe?”

“We’ll do our best…”

In a dreamlike state, Lin Tianyue signed the form with trembling fingers.

Once the delivery room door closed, his heart remained tightly knotted as he stared at it, watching each second crawl by.

Time moved painfully slowly; every minute felt like torture.

He wanted to smoke, but this was a hospital.

During those long hours, Lin Tianyue ran through all the worst possibilities in his mind. Eventually, he collapsed, squatting on the floor and running his hands through his hair.

No—Qiao Qiao would be safe.

As long as she was safe, nothing else mattered.

Yes, in such a critical moment, Lin Tianyue was completely certain: the only person he cared about was Zhang Qiao, and it was only her.

After what felt like an eternity, finally there was some movement inside.

Like a block of wood, Lin Tianyue felt Jin Quan push him lightly. When he stood, his dark eyes seemed as if they could pierce through the door straight to the very back.

First, a nurse came out, carrying a small bundle.

Looking closely, it was a newborn baby.

“Where’s the family of the mother?”

The nurse was still searching for family, but Lin Tianyue had already bypassed her and rushed toward the mother being pushed out next.

“Qiao Qiao, how are you now?”

He grabbed Zhang Qiao’s hand. She lay there, pale and exhausted, her clothes damp with sweat, hair sticking to her face.

It was obvious how much she had suffered.

Lin Tianyue’s heart ached, and his eyes reddened.

Zhang Qiao weakly opened her tired eyes and gave him a faint smile: “I’m fine… just a little tired…”

Childbirth was exhausting!

Zhang Qiao had a natural birth. Once she entered the delivery room, the pain grew increasingly intense.

Her cervix dilated slowly, meaning the severe pain lasted nearly three hours.

At first, she could endure it. Later, drenched in sweat and near exhaustion, the doctor told her the baby’s head was visible and encouraged her to push a little more.

What could Zhang Qiao do? She could only push with all her strength through her tears.

She felt as if she had used up all the strength in her life.

The doctor and midwives encouraged her, praising her technique, saying none of her effort was wasted.

Still, after delivering the baby, she was almost completely drained.

The newborn’s cries reached her, and she was about to collapse from fatigue.

The nurse cleaned the baby and brought her close for Zhang Qiao to see.

“Look, it’s a beautiful little princess.”

Zhang Qiao weakly opened her eyes and saw a delicate, fair-skinned baby with beautiful double eyelids and wide, innocent eyes taking in the world.

She thought this was the most beautiful baby she had ever seen—no trace of monkey-like features, just a cute little fairy.

She couldn’t help but kiss her child. When she was pushed out of the delivery room, she was so exhausted that she could have fallen asleep immediately.

But Zhang Qiao held on, knowing Lin Tianyue must be anxious.

Exhausted, she reported to him that she was safe, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Seeing her suddenly close her eyes, Lin Tianyue felt like he had been struck by lightning—his mind went blank.

“Qiao Qiao? Zhang Qiao?”

He anxiously shook her shoulders, his heart plummeting, but the nurse pushed him away without mercy.
