Chapter 1945: Chapter 1944: Fortunately, You Came
"Xiaoxiao, I’ll take you to the hospital."
Luo Haofeng briefly told Mother Bai he would first take Bai Xiaoxiao to the hospital and hung up the phone.
He placed Bai Xiaoxiao’s phone into his pocket, bent down, and put an arm around her neck, intending to lift her.
"I can walk by myself."
Bai Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, though the pain was unbearable, she reached out to hold Luo Haofeng’s other big hand, shaking her head to refuse being carried.
Luo Haofeng’s eyes flashed with a hint of heartache as he flipped over and held her hand in his palm, helping her up from the ground, "Xiaoxiao, bear it a bit, it will be better once we get to the car."
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded, indicating she would endure.
Luo Haofeng supported her as they walked toward his car, softly asking to distract her from the pain, "Why did you come out here on your own?"
"I just came for a walk."
After a wave of pain passed, Bai Xiaoxiao felt somewhat better and spoke without the discomfort from before.
Luo Haofeng’s gaze darkened slightly; he didn’t believe she would come out for a walk alone.
Although it wasn’t far from her home, she shouldn’t have walked this far even if she did come out alone.
Xiaoxiao didn’t tell him she met Xiao Yuting here. Luo Haofeng guessed they must have talked about him and Qiao Siyi.
His thin lips pressed tightly together; the words he wanted to ask swallowed back on his tongue, feeling more annoyed at Xiao Yuting.
Surely, Xiao Yuting said something to Xiaoxiao that provoked her.
Although Xiaoxiao was close to her due date, she wasn’t supposed to have such sudden fetal movements as if she was about to give birth.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt weak all over; though the pain came in waves with intervals in between, afterwards it left her legs feeling soft.
Unable to guess Luo Haofeng’s thoughts, she was supported to his car, watching him free a hand to open the car door, "Xiaoxiao, get in first, slower."
"I want to sit in the back."
Another wave of pain hit, Bai Xiaoxiao furrowed her brow tightly without looking up at Luo Haofeng.
"Xiaoxiao, I won’t feel at ease with you sitting in the back alone, sit in the front. If you feel terrible, you can hold onto me."
Luo Haofeng’s voice was gentle yet with an undeniable dominance.
Bai Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then bent down to sit in the car.
She didn’t really want to sit in the front, afraid she might affect his driving.
Luo Haofeng saw her get into the car, closed the door for her, and quickly walked around the front of the car, getting into the driver’s seat.
Bai Xiaoxiao was using one hand to stroke her belly and the other hand to pull the seatbelt, but hadn’t fastened it yet.
"Xiaoxiao, let me help you."
Luo Haofeng’s eyes filled with gentle heartache, leaning over to help fasten her seatbelt, his large palm covering her small hand.
Bai Xiaoxiao withdrew her hand, lowering her gaze to look at her feet.
Luo Haofeng finished fastening her seatbelt and softly said, "Xiaoxiao, if you feel really bad, hold onto me."
"I’m okay, you can drive."
Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice carried a slight tremor, her hands pressing against her belly, unable to bear the sharp pain.
She leaned her body tightly against the seat back, trying to use it to relieve the sharp pain; this pain was unlike anything she had ever experienced or imagined.
Though she knew childbirth would be painful.
But she didn’t know it was this kind of pain.
Soon, a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead, her delicate features twisted in pain.
However, she bit her lip hard, not letting herself cry out in pain.
"Xiaoxiao."
Luo Haofeng drove while glancing at her, seeing her enduring the pain, his heart filled with indescribable heartache.
Wishing he could bear the pain for her.
Bai Xiaoxiao lifted her head slightly at him, meeting his gaze filled with concern, a sense of warmth seeped into her heart, "Does your leg have trouble driving?"
"No, it doesn’t affect my driving."
Luo Haofeng was initially stunned, then felt a joy in his heart due to Bai Xiaoxiao’s concern for him.
These past few days, he hadn’t been driving himself.
But he got a call from Xiao Yuting earlier saying Xiaoxiao was unwell, in haste, he drove himself here.
Luckily, he drove quickly, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to meet Xiaoxiao this soon.
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled wryly, "You focus on driving, don’t worry about me."
"Hold onto me."
Luo Haofeng held the steering wheel with one hand, the other hand reached out to her, his warm, large hand tightly grasping her small hand, feeling the moisture within.
His heart squeezed again with pain.
"Yet he dared not distract himself too much by looking at her, needing to focus ahead."
Within two minutes, sweat also beaded on his forehead due to anxiety.
Bai Xiaoxiao felt each wave of pain was more fierce than the last, almost unbearable, yet unwilling to grasp Luo Haofeng tightly, her other hand was gripping herself instead.
The trimmed nails sunk deep into the palm, almost making herself bleed.
Luo Haofeng saw her gripping her hand tightly from the rearview mirror, noting her painful expression, "Xiaoxiao, don’t be afraid, hold onto me."
"..."
Bai Xiaoxiao bit her teeth, gently shook her head.
Due to excessive concern for Bai Xiaoxiao, Luo Haofeng forgot about his leg pain.
On the way to the hospital, he kept an eye on safety while attending to Bai Xiaoxiao, to distract her attention, he found topics to talk about.
Unconsciously, the topic turned to her meeting with Xiao Yuting.
"Xiaoxiao, did Xiao Yuting say something earlier?"
Bai Xiaoxiao leaned against the seat back, turning her face towards him, "No, it had nothing to do with him."
Suddenly recalling something, her gaze changed slightly, "Was it Xiao Yuting who called you?"
Due to pain, her brain’s thinking capacity slowed down.
Luo Haofeng nodded softly, saying gently, "It was Xiao Yuting who called me, luckily I came quickly."
Otherwise, if she was alone on the roadside with a stomach pain, what would happen?
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, "Yes, thankfully you came."
For some reason, upon hearing her words, Luo Haofeng felt a surge of indescribable emotion.
The phrase ’thankfully you came’, gave Luo Haofeng the illusion that Xiaoxiao still wanted him and wished to see him.
The phone rang sharply and urgently in the confined car space, disrupting the moment.
Bai Xiaoxiao hurriedly retracted her hand for Luo Haofeng to pick up the call.
Luo Haofeng took out his phone, glancing once but did not answer, instead directly hanging it up.
As they were close and Bai Xiaoxiao was slightly turned towards him, she saw the name Siyi displayed on the phone screen.
The sudden abdominal pain almost took her breath away.
As if the pain transferred, her heart felt as if being torn apart, instinctively turning her face aside, looking elsewhere.
Unsure if the caller had something urgent with Luo Haofeng, the phone rang again a few seconds after being hung up.
