They had a long and happy life to look forward to as a family of three.
That was what Su Hao had entrusted her with before he left, telling her to wait for him, to wait for his return.
âSu Hao, I will definitely hang in there!â
Wu Jinyan had taken the anesthesia, her eyes resolute.
Seeing that the anesthesia had taken effect, Su Yingxue pushed the half-delivered child back into the womb, and brought down the surgical tools on Wu Jinyanâs bulging bellyâ¦
âSu Yingxue!â
Saint Ruan rushed over, already dressed in surgical attire and wearing a mask, cursing as he approached her, âDamn it! Performing a surgery without me, do you no longer see your partner as a person?â
âSaint Ruan!â
Su Yingxueâs eyes lit up, âYou dog! Manager Qi said he couldnât find you, that he couldnât get ahold of you at all today, where the hell have you been!â
âNone of your business where Iâve been! But you, performing a surgery without waiting for me, thatâs unacceptable!â
Saint Ruan picked up some forceps, pretending to hit Su Yingxue on the head, but held back, for Wu Jinyanâs sake.
The two only bickered briefly before quickly getting into the zone for the surgery. Fortunately, they had worked together many times before, and this C-section for Wu Jinyan went very smoothly.
Having lifted the baby, Su Yingxue called out urgently, âSaint Ruan, wrap him up quickly, then call the midwife, I need to suture Sister Jinyan immediately.â
âGot it!â
Saint Ruan took the child and carried him out to call the midwife for cleaning, then returned to help Su Yingxue with suturing Wu Jinyan.
A C-section, unlike other surgeries, required seven layers of abdominal stitching, a tedious process of carefully suturing layer by layer. The entire surgery took over two hours, and by the end, the sky had turned dark.
âSuture complete!â Su Yingxue announced, and Saint Ruan also breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at Wu Jinyan, still unconscious, and felt a sense of relief, âIt was fortunate she encountered you. The womanâs malposition made childbirth difficult, and one mistake could result in both mother and child dying.â
But Su Yingxue managed to perform the C-section and kept Wu Jinyan and her baby safe.
âSaint Ruan, help me.â
After washing her hands, Su Yingxue took off her mask, her face already pale.
Seeing her white face, Saint Ruan was startled, âDamn! Why are you so exhausted?â
Performing a surgery had never been this exhausting for Yingxue before.
Her hand gently rested on her lower abdomen, her voice hoarse, âThis little monster inside me⦠heâs very delicate!â
She had ridden a fast horse to get there and then performed the surgery on Jinyan without having eaten or drunk anything for half the day, and she was now somewhat dehydrated.
âHey, donât you pass out here. If anything happens to you and the child in your belly, Chu Yihan will have my head!â
Saint Ruan felt a chill down his spine, suddenly sensing danger!
Dear heavens!
He had gotten so excited by the word âsurgeryâ heâd forgotten that Su Yingxue was also pregnant.
âSu Yingxue!â
Before he could help her sit down, an enraged manâs voice came through the door.
Saint Ruan thought to himself, this is it, Chu Yihan is coming to chop me down!
He wanted to slip away quickly, but Su Yingxue suddenly felt faint due to a heart palpitation.
Chu Yihan rushed to her side, and on smelling the blood on her, still standing there dumbly, his anger burst out, âDo you even care about yourself, about me and our child? Youâre already four months pregnant and still you rode here on a horse to perform a surgery!â
