"Get ready! The baby's coming out!"
A little over ten minutes later, inside the delivery room, the lead obstetrician's voice rang out.
The baby was born.
Du Yuchen let out a long sigh of relief. But something felt wrong.
Why isn't there a cry? Why isn't the baby crying?
Du Yuchen struggled to lift her head. Seeing the lead obstetrician holding a wet baby, she asked urgently, "Doctor, Doctor! Tell me, what's wrong? Why isn't my baby crying?"
"This is normal, don't panic." The experienced obstetrician calmly held the baby upside down and patted its back.
The infant spat up some amniotic fluid.
Still, there was no cry.
Panic began to swell inside Du Yuchen. This baby... it couldn't be a stillbirth, could it?!
Impossible! Impossible! Du Yuchen shook her head frantically. The baby was kicking me the whole way here. It can't be a stillbirth! So why won't it cry?
"Su Xuan! Su Xuan! Please, get in here!" In her panic, Du Yuchen thought of Su Xuan and screamed his name.
