Chapter 1285: I Never Regret It

Since Wang Muxiao was feeling another wave of contractions, the young woman no longer disturbed her. Having just given birth themselves and preparing to leave in a day or two, the other women in the ward could sympathize with her pain.

While she endured the contractions, Lu Cheng was lining up at the hospital lobby counter to pay. Since it was still early, there weren't many people, and it was soon his turn.

Standing in front of the counter, he said, "Good morning, Comrade. I would like to pay a deposit for a patient named Wang Muxiao."

Hearing his words, the nurse smiled and replied, "Good morning, Comrade. Please wait a moment."

She typed on the computer for a while before saying, "The required deposit is 200 yuan."

Lu Cheng was taken aback by the price. Giving birth in a hospital was so expensive. No wonder most people choose midwives instead—after all, they only charge 5 yuan per service.

After paying the deposit, the nurse handed him the receipt. As he made his way back to his wife's ward, he spotted Houzi. At first, he intended to greet him, but upon noticing him talking to a female doctor, he changed his mind.

Houzi's gaze was gentle and his face was lit with joy as he spoke with the doctor. It seemed they were friends—after all, he wouldn't look so happy if he were sick.

Reaching this conclusion, Lu Cheng turned and walked away. Back in the ward, he supported his wife as she walked around. Since the doctor hadn't arrived yet, all they could do was wait.

For now, the best thing he could do was massaging his wife's back to help reduce the pain and support her walking around so that his wife could have a smoother delivery later.

Meanwhile, in the hospital lobby, Gu Mengyao and Houzi were speaking in hushed voices.

"Su Jun, is there really no way for you to help me visit my grandpa?" Gu Mengyao asked, her voice laced with worry.

Seeing her troubled expression, Houzi thought for a moment before saying, "I will try to find a way, but I can't promise anything. The situation in the capital is unstable, and it's affecting everyone. There will be a promotion in a few months for a position in the brigade, so the production team has been increasing their patrols lately."

Gu Mengyao understood that helping her deliver things and exchange letters with her grandfather was already difficult for him. Asking him to help her visit in person was an even bigger request.
