âSister Jinyan, donât worry, the child will be okay, both you and the child will be okay!â Su Yingxue hurriedly comforted, but the midwife said, âNo good! This childâs position is abnormal, and with a premature birth, itâs very dangerous. If⦠if it continues like this, with the mother hemorrhaging heavily, the child wonât make it either.â
Su Han commanded them, âWe must save both Jinyan and the baby; nothing can happen to either of them!â
The midwife sighed heavily, âHow can that be easily assured? If in the end we can only save one, who will decide, save the mother or the child?â
Su Yingxue shot a stern look over, âWhat do you mean save the mother or the child? My brotherâs wife and child, none must come to harm!â
She gritted her teeth and pulled Su Han outside, âSister, we canât worry about that now. Iâm going to perform a cesarean on Sister Jinyan to ensure that both she and the child are safe and sound.â
âThisâ¦â Su Hanâs palms sweated with nervousness, âAre you completely certain? And with your own pregnant body so frail, can you sustain surgery for such a long time?â
She distinctly remembered Saint Ruan jokingly saying that when the two of them performed surgery on her, it took three full two-hour periods, from dawn till dusk, and was utterly exhausting.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If Su Yingxue were not pregnant, she would not have stopped her, but now she herself was a pregnant woman in need of care.
âI can do it, sister. Iâve been resting well, and lately the little monster hasnât been stirring much. Right now, Sister Jinyan and the babyâs lives are the most important. Go quickly and prepare the operating room, and have Manager Qi help.â
Su Yingxue urged her to hurry.
With no other choice, Su Han went to prepare, but not without sending someone out first.
Such a significant issue, she couldnât decide all by herself.
Just as Su Han left, Su Yingxue turned and vomited. After heaving, she felt dizzy and light-headed. She gently caressed her slightly bulging abdomen and scolded, âYou little monster, youâre really undermining your mom, arenât you?â
The little rascal had been quiet during her stay in the Marquisâs Manor, but now heâd started to act up!
The little monster expressed his very real protest.
He rejected the delivery room!
Rejected the scent of blood!
Rejected his momâs self-sacrificing dedication!
Before you dedicate yourself, please consider the four-month treasure inside you, wonât you?
Su Yingxue brewed herself some mugwort water to drink, forcibly perking herself up to avoid fainting during the surgery, and she had Su Miaoyan prepare some food for her. Climbing onto the operating table was strenuous; she needed to have the strength to endure.
After eating, Su Han had the operating room ready. She had Wu Jinyan brought up and chose the anesthesia carefully.
On the operating table, it was just her and Wu Jinyan. She gently wiped the sweat from Wu Jinyanâs face and soothed her, âSister Jinyan, it might be very painful, but donât worry, I will ensure you safely deliver the baby.â
Wu Jinyanâs lips were bitten pale, her voice weak to the extreme, âItâs okay⦠Yingxue, I only ask of you, save the child. The child must not come to harm. As a mother, Iâve already wronged him enough. If he suffers the slightest harm, I will never be at peace for the rest of my life.â
âYou must be at peace for the rest of your life. Brother is still at war in Qi State, and you have to wait for his return, to see both you and the baby! You both have such a long and happy life ahead!â
Su Yingxue comforted her, holding Wu Jinyanâs hand.
âSu Hao⦠Yes, I have to wait for him to come back.â
As if she had taken a dose of cardiac stimulant, Wu Jinyan clenched her teeth desperately. She would give birth to the child at all costs; she and the baby both had to wait for Su Hao to return safely!
