Capítulo 1289: Chapter 1204:
Of course, here's the rewritten version:
Luo Yanqing held back from entering; he lingered right outside the delivery room door, his gaze misty as nurses wheeled Kang Li out on a stretcher. He dashed up quickly and inquired, “Xiao Li, how are you feeling?”
Shaking her head to signal all was well, Kang Li replied, “I need to rest a little.” The ordeal of labor had left her utterly drained, and sleep was all she desired at that moment.
“Fine, rest easy. I'll stay right here guarding you.”
Luo Yanqing clasped one of Kang Li's hands and strode beside the stretcher, staying by her side until they reached the ward.
Jiang Boya trailed right after them.
After a quick peek at his three newborn grandkids, he had hurried along with his lengthy strides.
…
Around 7 PM, Kang Li stirred awake, and Luo Yanqing's deep eyes sparkled with delight and warmth the instant he noticed: “You're up?!”
“Silly goose. Of course I woke after getting enough shut-eye.” Gazing at him, Kang Li questioned, “What time is it now?”
Before Luo Yanqing could respond, a nearby nurse chimed in with the current time.
Kang Li expressed her thanks, then shifted her eyes back to Luo Yanqing: “Have you phoned home yet?”
“No, not yet.” Luo Yanqing shook his head, adding, “It's roughly 7 AM there; I'll dial them right away.”
“Sure. Better not let them fret.”
Kang Li winked, giving Luo Yanqing the go-ahead.
Meanwhile, as Jiang Hongfa escorted Captain Kang to the hospital, Zhou Heng, Zhang Lei, Song Sa, Meng Xingping, and Wang Sen followed in a separate vehicle heading the same way.
Unlike Luo Yanqing and his group, though, these five stayed far calmer once Kang Li was inside the delivery room.
Luo Yanqing kept his face taut with worry, but moments later, he leaned in to kiss Kang Li's forehead: “Be good now, and don't ever vanish on me out of the blue again.”
“Got it.”
Kang Li's sparkling eyes bent into lovely crescents: “Next time I step out of the hospital, you'll be the first to know.”
“You better keep that promise.”
Luo Yanqing stressed firmly.
“For sure.”
Smiling, Kang Li nodded.
As he held her hand, Luo Yanqing squeezed it gently: “The little ones haven't been giving you grief, right?” His eyes drifted to her bulging belly as he asked.
“They've been angels; no hard kicks or bouts of nausea for me.” Save for that incident aboard the cargo ship.
All at once, Kang Li's face stiffened.
“What's up?”
Anxiety flashed across Luo Yanqing's features.
“I… I'm about to give birth!”
Luo Yanqing froze in shock the moment Kang Li spoke.
Spotting a small pool of fluid near Kang Li's feet, Cai Xiufen cried out: “Li Bao's in labor—hurry, get Li Bao to the hospital now!”
Her shout sent everyone into a panic.
“Out of the way!”
Jiang Boya charged ahead, aiming to shove Luo Yanqing aside and scoop up his darling daughter for the car.
But Luo Yanqing snapped to action first, scooping Kang Li into his arms in a princess carry before Jiang Boya could reach her.
Jiang Boya rushed to a closeby car, flung open the back door: “Move it—can't you tell Lili's suffering?!”
“I'm okay.”
Though sweat beaded on Kang Li's brow and her complexion had gone ashen, she shook her head to reassure Jiang Boya and Luo Yanqing.
Just then, Ah Xiang and Ah Lan hurried up with two hefty bags for Cai Xiufen.
“Hang in there, Li Bao. The hospital's almost here.”
Cai Xiufen and Luo Yanqing flanked Kang Li in the backseat, soothing her so their cherished girl wouldn't panic.
“Mom, I'll manage fine. No need to worry—I'll last till the hospital.”
Kang Li, seeing her mother far more rattled than herself, flipped the comfort around. Spotting Luo Yanqing shaking like a leaf, she found it endearing: “Relax, I won't have issues. Believe in me, alright?” Waves of abdominal agony hit, but Kang Li bit down hard, refusing to scream through sheer grit.
Jiang Boya took the wheel himself, speeding steadily to the hospital he'd checked out beforehand.
“In-laws, let me ring the hospital first to alert the staff, then we'll all go together.” Back at the estate, Jiang Hongfa addressed the deeply concerned Captain Kang before stepping inside to call.
In two or three minutes, Jiang Hongfa emerged from the living room.
Butler: “Master, the car's ready.”
“Good.” Jiang Hongfa nodded, motioning for Captain Kang to board.
“…”
Captain Kang and Cai Xiufen stood equally dumbfounded.
Jiang Boya and Jiang Hongfa eyed Luo Yanqing and the rest: “…” eager for some news, yet found them all stupefied, clearly clueless about Kang Li's triplet pregnancy.
The nurse who had shared the joyful news twice before stepped out from the delivery room, cradling three bundled infants alongside two assisting nurses. She informed Luo Yanqing and the relatives that Kang Li had given natural birth to triplets—the first two boys, the last a girl—and addressed all their queries.
The nurse clarified how the baby girl had stayed concealed behind her second brother right from pregnancy through delivery, evading detection in the first ultrasound.
She further noted that every one of the three babies enjoyed robust health, although the third child's build was a touch frailer than her elder and second brothers, yet perfectly normal for any infant.
Well, that body strengthening pill Kang Li swallowed on the cargo ship mended her own physique and even nourished the babies growing inside her.
Regarding these three tiny newborns, they came into the world at three pounds five ounces, three pounds two ounces, and three pounds—seemingly underweight compared to standard babies. However, their organs showed impressive maturity; they opened their eyes immediately, displaying delicate features and silky smooth skin, nothing like the typical wrinkled, monkeyish look of ordinary newborns.
Indeed, Cai Xiufen and the rest took the three little bundles from the nurse's arms, and upon seeing their faces, their eyes popped wide in shock and ecstasy!
Sure enough, Luo Yanqing held back from joining them, lingering by the delivery room door. He watched intently as nurses wheeled Kang Li out on a stretcher, moisture gathering in his eyes. Rushing up, he asked, “Xiao Li, how are you?”
Jiang Boya hurried right after.
His long strides carried him over after a brief look at his three new grandbabies.
…
Kang Li roused around seven that evening, and the moment her eyes opened, Luo Yanqing's deep gaze brimmed with joy and softness: “You’re awake?!”
“Silly. Of course I woke up after sufficient rest.” Eyeing the man, Kang Li inquired, “What time is it?”
A nearby nurse chimed in with the time before Luo Yanqing could respond.
Kang Li thanked the nurse, then shifted her attention to Luo Yanqing: “Did you call home?”
“Not yet.” Luo Yanqing shook his head, adding, “Morning's breaking around seven back home; I'll dial now.”
“Okay. No need to let everyone worry.”
Kang Li gave a quick wink, signaling Luo Yanqing to proceed.
Worth noting, as Jiang Hongfa brought Captain Kang to the hospital, Zhou Heng, Zhang Lei, Song Sa, Meng Xingping, and Wang Sen trailed in another vehicle.
Unlike Luo Yanqing and his group, though, these five remained far calmer once Kang Li went into the delivery room.
