Chapter 1381: Chapter 1408: Turning Crisis into Safety (Part 1)
"Baby, baby..."
Nianyang stumbled as she was assisted to the side of the incubator.
Through the transparent window, her little daughter lay weakly balled up in the swaddle, her small red wrinkled face twisting unconsciously.
She was so very small and seemed incredibly uncomfortable, making soft whimpering sounds that were different from her brothers’ loud cries, her thin little face looked pitiful.
The tears that Nianyang had held back for so long suddenly poured out, and she reached out a hand to cover her mouth, sobbing painfully.
Li Tingyan couldn’t bear to look at their daughter either, pressing down on the back of Nianyang’s head, "Don’t cry, don’t cry."
"It’s all my fault," Nianyang choked, "I harmed her, Ah Yan, I harmed our daughter."
"It’s not your fault, don’t blame yourself," Li Tingyan’s eyes were bloodshot, "Nini, you were great, it was your efforts that gave our daughter life, you are the best."
"If I had listened to you from the start, not participated in the research, not come into contact with SARS patients, our daughter would be fine."
Nianyang whispered helplessly and painfully, "But I’m a doctor, I can’t just sit by and do nothing, I’m a doctor, why am I a doctor, Ah Yan, I never thought that after saving so many people, our daughter would end up dying at my hands."
"It’s not your fault, it’s the sin of that viper Ni Jia, don’t blame yourself."
Li Tingyan didn’t know how to comfort her, feeling useless, as he could only feel pain alongside Nianyang in such situations.
"No, I have to save her, I must save her."
Nianyang turned around, looking at the doctor beside her, "Doctor, help me save my daughter, give her medicine, at least bring down her fever, or it will damage her brain."
The doctor replied, "Miss Chu, have you forgotten? Newborns have relatively weak liver and kidney functions, and their gastrointestinal digestion and absorption are weak as well, so oral medications are not recommended. If medication is necessary, intravenous administration is preferred. But she’s so small, infusions could worsen her condition, and besides, we haven’t developed a medicine that can overcome the SARS virus yet."
Nianyang was briefly stunned, truly confused in her urgency, almost forgetting about this. She thought for a bit, reached out and picked up her daughter, turning towards the children’s operating room.
Li Tingyan knew what Nianyang was about to do, instructing the doctors and nurses to wait outside, while he went in to help.
Nianyang took her little daughter and Li Tingyan into the space, asked Li Tingyan to watch over their daughter, while she went to the pharmacy to prepare the infusion.
She didn’t trust the hospital’s medicine, believing the natural safety of the space’s medicine more, calmly matching the dosage. Once successful, she had Li Tingyan bring their daughter over to start the fever-reducing infusion.
The little daughter’s skin was very tender and thin, her veins still fine, the wrist ones couldn’t be used at all, so Nianyang had to harden her heart and inject through the blood vessels in her head.
Such a small infant starting an infusion, even adults couldn’t bear to watch, let alone Nianyang as her mother.
When the needle went in, the little daughter cried in a faint weak voice because of the pain, her cries sounding so aggrieved and delicate, it made Nianyang’s heart ache fiercely.
Even though she knew her daughter couldn’t understand, Nianyang still tried to soothe her,
"Quiet, baby, don’t cry, it’ll stop hurting soon, it’ll be all right soon."

Extra notes: Originally, the male and female leads should have been wrapped up, but I checked the outline, not sure if you noticed, there’s still a foreshadow left unwritten between the male and female leads, which is the male lead’s impending doom yet to be broken.
Hmm, do you want me to write it out, or should we leave it?
