The man picked up a pen and signed his name.
“How long more before the baby comes out?
“Not sure,” the nurse replied.
The man was annoyed and grumbled, “I have a game appointment with someone. Can’t this woman hurry up?
The middle-aged woman comforted her son. “If you don’t want to wait, go home first. I’ll wait here for a while.”
The man said, “I can’t let Mom wait here alone. I’ll wait a little longer. I just wish that she would hurry up and not waste my time!”
The middle-aged woman said nonchalantly, “If your wife gives birth to another daughter, you should divorce her. A woman who can’t bear a son is useless. I don’t even like her as a helper at home.”
Tang Beibei clenched her fists when she heard all this.
This mother and son really crossed the line!
Tang Beibei wanted to go over and tell them off, but Jiang Jingchen held her shoulder.
“This is someone else’s family matter. We can’t interfere, Obedient Beibei.”
Tang Beibei crossed her arms and sat down, sulking.
The brawny man beside them also couldn’t stand it, but when he heard Jiang Jingchen’s words, he gave up the idea of teaching the mother and son a lesson.
It was not that they were cold, but this was their family matter, and outsiders couldn’t interfere.
They could only conclude that the woman was unlucky to marry such an animal!
The brawny man was going to leave, but when he thought about the pregnant woman, he sighed and sat down again.
Tang Beibei looked at the operating theater. Another nurse came out and said, “It’s bad with the pregnant woman. The baby won’t come out. She may need a C-section, but that’s also dangerous because her heart isn’t good. How could you let her get pregnant?”
The nurse sounded very angry.
The man said, “What heart problem? She was fine when she gave birth to her first child. Why are there so many problems with her second child?
The middle-aged woman added, “She doesn’t have any heart problem. Are the doctors mistaken?”
The nurse asked, “Were you with her when she went for her pre-natal checkups?”
Neither of the two spoke. It was obvious that they knew nothing about the pregnant woman’s condition.
Nurses met all kinds of uncaring people at the hospital, but this mother-and-son pair was something else.
They knew that the pregnant woman was at a hospital giving birth, but they didn’t bring anything for her when they came. Not only that, the mother even asked the son to divorce his wife if she gave birth to another daughter.
Even a venomous snake wasn’t this cruel!
Tang Beibei had learned the theories around pregnancy. She knew that pregnant women go through hormonal changes, which could lead to various conditions. Regular prenatal checkups were therefore necessary.
For some pregnant women, the hormonal imbalance and pregnancy weight gain would trigger certain hidden diseases.
Tang Beibei asked the nurse, “The burden on the pregnant woman’s heart will definitely affect the baby. Has any doctor dealt with this problem before?” “There’S a doctor, but he’s off today and won’t be able to make it here in time.” Tang Beibei bit her thumb. “How long will it take for the doctor to get here? How long can the pregnant woman hold on?”
“She can’t hold on much longer. The doctor is on a business trip out of province.”
Tang Beibei paced the corridor. Saving the pregnant woman was the most important thing now, so she took a chance.
She got out her cell phone and called Professor Chen. After Professor Chen answered the call, Tang Beibei immediately told him about the pregnant woman’s current condition and asked if he knew any gynecologists who were familiar with her condition and could rush over to the hospital within an hour. Professor Chen told her to go to the operating theater. They must not let the pregnant woman lose consciousness. He also rattled off a prescription to Tang Beibei.
“There’s an experienced gynecologist at a nearby hospital, but she’s old and retired. I’ll call her, and you can send someone to pick her up. It’ll take her about 40 minutes to get there.”
“Alright, Teacher. Thank you.” Tang Beibei was touched.
When the brawny man beside her heard that she was getting a doctor over, he immediately volunteered to fetch the doctor in his car.
Tang Beibei wrote down Professor Chen’s prescription to give it to the nurse. But the mother and son beside her, the pregnant woman’s husband and mother-in-law, were totally unperturbed.
Seeing how busy people around them were, they weren’t only ungrateful but also accused them of making a mountain out of a molehill.
The mother-in-law said, “I’ve also given birth before. That woman is so delicate. It’s just giving birth, and she caused such a huge commotion. If she didn’t argue with me today, she wouldn’t have gone into preterm labor. She brought this upon herself!”
Tang Beibei was so angry that she couldn’t be bothered with her and went to get the medicine with Jiang Jingchen.
As time was of the essence, she wanted to run there, but Jiang Jingchen held her shoulder.
“Obedient Beibei, go to the delivery ward and look after the pregnant woman. I’ll go get the medicine and ask a nurse to help brew the medicine.” Tang Beibei also sympathized with the pregnant woman, so they each took up a different task.
She hugged him. “Hubby, thank you. Thank you for supporting me in whatever
I do.”
Jiang Jingchen flicked her forehead. “You’re mine. We’re a team.”
Tang Beibei smiled. Lives really shouldn’t be compared because sometimes the comparison would yield bloody and miserable results.
If that pregnant woman could hear the words of her husband and mother-in-law, she would probably be angered to death.
“Hubby, I love you.”
Jiang Jingchen kissed her briefly. “If the mother and son dare to bully you when you get there, you can just hit them. I’ll pay for their injuries, if any. Don’t let yourself suffer.”
“Okay!”
Tang Beibei went to the delivery ward. The nurse did not allow her in initially, but when she heard that Tang Beibei’s was a student of Professor Chen’s and could help, she went to ask the attending physician.
When the attending physician heard that Tang Beibei was Professor Chen’s student, he immediately allowed her in.
Tang Beibei put on a sterile gown and gloves. She went up to the pregnant woman and took her pulse. She was indeed in a very bad situation.
The attending physician suggested natural birth. If that didn’t work, they would have to perform a C-section.
The pregnant woman was determined to use all her strength. The veins on her forehead were bulging, and her face was pale, but she refused to give up.
She really wanted to have this baby.
If the baby was still alive, she would give birth to him even if it killed her. Her contractions came in waves. The pregnant woman felt like she was better off dead than alive, but she couldn’t die yet.
Tang Beibei stuffed a ginseng lozenge into her mouth and fed her some water before she asked, “Do you want to keep this baby?”
The pregnant woman nodded in tears.
Tang Beibei then asked, “Do you trust me? I saved you and brought you to the hospital. I just want to help you without expecting anything in return. I won’t hurt you or the baby.”
The pregnant woman continued to nod as she held Tang Beibei’s hand. “I trust, trust you.”
Tang Beibei made her look into her eyes. “If you trust me, then listen to me. You must remember everything I tell you now and cooperate with me wholeheartedly.”
“Yes, I’ll cooperate wholeheartedly.”
The pregnant woman trusted Tang Beibei like she trusted god.
“Okay, now that you’ve absorbed the nutrients from the ginseng, take another deep breath and exhale. Tell your baby that he’s coming to this world.” The pregnant woman took a deep breath and pushed again. Tang Beibei asked her to breathe again and push. She spoke faster and louder. A group of doctors also came up to help the pregnant woman.
When Tang Beibei suddenly raised her voice and asked the pregnant woman to close her eyes and imagine that all the pain she was experiencing was gone, and all she felt was the gentleness of her baby, a new life like a seedling bursting out of the ground.
At this moment, a nurse walked in with the brewed medicine. Tang Beibei asked the pregnant woman to open her mouth and drink it.
After drinking the medicine, the retired doctor arrived.
She was an old lady in her eighties, but she walked steadily. She was wearing a white coat and gloves, and her body smelled of disinfectant.
She walked up to the pregnant woman and examined her. She then sniffed the medicine that the nurse brought in and nodded.
“This is good medicine. Your reaction time is good. Now, we just wait for the baby to be born. Miss, were you trying to hypnotize her?
Tang Beibei nodded. “This pregnant woman is probably sensitive to pain. The pain of childbirth is too great, and she won’t be able to last long.” “I just wanted to try hypnotizing her. Isn’t hypnobirthing an accepted technique now?”
The old lady nodded. “Yes, but it’s not very popular in China. Keep trying so she can continue to push.”
With an experienced doctor present, the other doctors became more confident. When the baby was finally born, the pregnant woman felt as if she had died many times over. She immediately checked the gender of the baby, hugged her baby, and wailed.
A nurse came over to take the baby to the nursery. Because he was a premature baby, he would need to be observed in the hospital for a few days.
The pregnant woman suddenly struggled to get out of bed.. She knelt before everyone in the room and begged, “Please, help me! Help me!
