Yun Hai could hardly imagine how his younger brother would react if he knew he had lost his wife and child.
His parentsâ fears were understandable.
âFather, I understand. Let mother take good care of my third brotherâs wife, I hope she gives birth to a chubby baby in due time,â Meng Yunhan assured.
Yunâs father was contented. It was up to the eldest son to break the news to his wife.
Meng Yunhan had been paying close attention to his sister-in-lawâs progress.
Zhang Yunxuan, the young lad, had a visit with his grandmother and returned home with his pockets filled to the brim.
Meng Yunhan thought everything would surely pass, but then came some troubling news.
It was Zhang Yunxuan who breathlessly broke the news, âMother is bleeding, sheâs bleeding!â
This sudden shock nearly rendered Meng Yunhan bewildered, while Yunâs mother trembled all over.
She immediately told Meng Yunhan, âHanhan, you stay at home, donât go anywhere. I will check on her.â
Meng Yunhan knew his mother-in-law must be in a state of panic, âMother, hurriedly go and check on her, I will stay here at home and not go anywhere.â
Yunâs mother worried that while she was visiting her daughter, her daughter in-law might also have complications.
Yunâs mother rushed off to their home with her little grandson.
She was indeed anxious.
Her younger daughter was pregnant with twins, how did she start bleeding? Wasnât she supposed to take good care of herself? How was it possible that she did not?
Zhang Jiang was huddled in a corner, his tears hot and suffusing.
He stared at the blood stain on the ground, a sickening feeling in his heart.
When Yunâs mother came into the house, she saw her son in-law there and also noticed the droplets on the floor.
âZhang Jiang, how is Xiaomen?â she asked as she tried to step further into the room.
Zhang Jiang hurriedly wiped his tears, âThe village doctor Zheng is checking on her, I do not know much elseâ¦â His voice choked with suppressed sobs.
With so much blood, could the child still be safe?
There was also the risk now that the daughter-in-law herself could be in danger.
As Yunâs mother entered the room, she was hit by the pungent smell of blood.
She saw her son-in-lawâs mother there too, as well as another unfamiliar man.
âMother-in-law, how is Xiaomen?â
Zhangâs mother looked worried and perplexed, she too was in the dark. They did not know what had caused Xiaomen to bleed and it was only because the grandson came to inform them that they learned about it.
âDoctor, how is my daughter?â Yunâs mother asked the middle-aged man, anxiously attempting to suppress her discomfort and wanted answers.
âThe patient is showing signs of a miscarriage, she needs medication to prevent it,â the middle-aged man glanced at her before responding.
Yunâs mother heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that Xiaomen hadnât miscarried yet, the child was still there, still there.
âAdminister the drug to prevent the miscarriage, administer the drug right away,â Yunâs mother energetically repeated.
âThisâ¦..â the middle-aged man hesitated.
Yunâs mother instantly understood, âWe will manage the money somehow, the utmost priority is to save the child, save the child.â
âAlright.â The man hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
He then walked out of the room to fetch the medicine.
Yunâs mother looked at her ashen faced daughter lying on the bed. Her eyes were filled with anxiety and trepidation. Xiaomen was still unconscious.
Seeing so much blood, Yun Meng had fainted from the shock.
This led to Zhang Jiangâs assumption that both his wife and baby were in trouble.
âZhang Jiang, Zhang Jiangâ¦..â
When Zhang Jiang heard his mother-in-law calling, he immediately went into the room, âMotherâ¦.â
âFollow the doctor to get the medicine. Do not discuss the costs just yet. First, we have to ensure the baby is safe. Go quickly, quickly.â
