What?
Qi Xiwei held onto Huo Jinyaoâs arm tightly. Her face was already covered in sweat. âIâm going to give birth. What should I do? Iâm going to give birth.â
Huo Jinyao glanced at her. There was already blood flowing out from under her body. He was shocked and quickly picked her up.
âDonât worry, Iâll send you to the hospital right now.â
Qi Xiweiâs expression was extremely unsightly. Her stomach was in pain. At this moment, she had no strength left and could only let Huo Jinyao carry her.
Huo Jinyao carried her and was about to walk out when the man stood in front of Huo Jinyao.
âAre you really going to give birth?â The due date hadnât arrived yet and it was already a month in advance. Could this woman be using this opportunity to escape?
âPut her down.â The man glared at Qi Xiwei. âDonât even think about abducting my child. Donât even think about it.â
Qi Xiweiâs face was pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat. She didnât even look at the man and reached out to grab the front of Huo Jinyaoâs shirt.
âJinyao, letâs go. I donât want to see him.â
Huo Jinyao ignored the man and was about to walk out. The man blocked their way.
âYou want to leave? Leave the child behind first.â
He was crazy. It was already such a time, yet this man was still causing trouble.
âGet out of my way.â
The man looked at Qi Xiwei and said, âI wonât let you. Put her down first.â
âLian Jin, get lost. I donât want to see you.â
Qi Xiwei was already exhausted, but she couldnât help but speak when she heard the manâs words.
âYou donât want to see me, but you want to see him, right? I was wondering why you were in such a hurry to return to the country. What? Youâre back to see your old lover, right? Do you think Iâll let you have your way? Donât even think about it.â
The man called Lian Jin blocked in front of the two of them and glared at Qi Xiwei. âCome with me. Iâll send you to the hospital.â
âI donât want your hypocritical kindness.â Qi Xiweiâs voice was very weak, but she wasnât willing to give in. âWho knows if youâll kill me halfway there?â
Lian Jinâs expression was ugly. Qi Xiwei didnât want to be involved with him anymore. She grabbed onto Huo Jinyao. âJinyao, make him go away. I donât want to see him.â
She was about to give birth. Huo Jinyao looked at her and felt anxious. Without thinking, he raised his leg and kicked Lian Jin.
Lian Jin didnât expect Huo Jinyao to make such a move, and he dodged to the side. Huo Jinyao was afraid that Lian Jin would chase after him again, so he gave him another kick.
Lian Jin didnât dodge the kick this time and was hit by Huo Jinyaoâs kick.
His body fell backward and hit the coffee table. He was in pain and didnât stand up for a moment.
Huo Jinyao used this time to quickly run towards the door with Qi Xiwei in his arms. He was very worried and anxious.
However, Lian Jin didnât want to let it go just like that. He quickly propped himself up and ran behind Huo Jinyao to grab his arm.
Huo Jinyao held Qi Xiwei in his arms and almost fell to the ground. He was furious and turned around.
âWhat are you trying to do?â
âSheâs my wife. Put her down.â
Qi Xiwei was in so much pain that she was about to speak. Her stomach was in so much pain that it felt like it was being pulled up again and again.
Upon seeing this, Huo Jinyao knew that she couldnât afford to delay any longer.
âGet out of my way. Canât you see that sheâs giving birth right now? She needs to be sent to the hospital.â
âIf she needs to be sent to the hospital, naturally Iâll send her. Itâs not up to an outsider like you to pretend,â Lian Jin sneered. âOr is she carrying your child?â
This person was full of nonsense, and Huo Jinyao didnât want to tolerate it. However, Qi Xiweiâs situation was the priority.
âAre you going to let me go? If youâre not going to let me go, I wonât hold back anymore.â
âIâd like to see how youâre not going to hold back.â
After saying that, Lian Jin was about to snatch her away. Qi Xiwei was already in great pain, but she absolutely didnât want Lian Jin to touch her.
She looked at Huo Jinyao and begged, âJinyao, Iâm begging you, donât hand me over to him.â
Her relationship with Lian Jin had reached the point where they couldnât tolerate each other. She really couldnât trust him.
Instead, she believed that Lian Jin would most likely kill her quietly.
âYou still say that you have no love affair with him?â Lian Jinâs face was full of anger. He took a step forward and was about to attack Qi Xiwei.
Huo Jinyao took a big step back. Upon seeing that Qi Xiweiâs breathing had become rapid, he gritted his teeth and turned to place her on the sofa by the side.
âXiwei, wait a moment.â
He turned to look at Lian Jin. He originally wanted him to give up voluntarily. But now, he could only be violent.
On the other side, Qi Xiweiâs situation was getting more and more urgent. Huo Jinyao didnât intend to delay any longer.
âWhat? You want to fight me?â
Huo Jinyao didnât waste time with him and directly punched Lian Jin in the face. Lian Jin dodged quickly, but he didnât know that this was Huo Jinyaoâs feint.
He punched Lian Jin in the stomach, and Lian Jin was knocked back a few steps by him.
âBastard.â He was annoyed and rushed towards Huo Jinyao to attack.
But how could he be a match for Huo Jinyao? Huo Jinyao had been trained in the army.
Other than Zhang Yichen, who had received special training so Huo Jinyao was no match against, Huo Jinyao could easily take on more people like Lian Jin.
In less than five minutes, Huo Jinyao had already beaten Lian Jin to the ground.
After finishing him off, he quickly carried Qi Xiwei and ran outside to get into his car. By the time Lian Jin recovered from the pain and chased after them, Huo Jinyao had already left with Qi Xiwei.
Her whole body completely curled up, Qi Xiwei was in the backseat of the car. She looked very in pain. Her entire body was starting to sweat and her face was pale.
Huo Jinyao saw her condition from the rearview mirror and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. He could only be thankful that this place wasnât too far from the city.
They practically traveled at lightning speed and he brought Qi Xiwei to Su Qingsangâs first hospital in the shortest amount of time.
Su Qingsang happened to have an outpatient clinic today. There was a woman who thought that there was something wrong with her because she hadnât been pregnant in the five years she was married.
Su Qingsang told her that she was in good health and there was nothing wrong with her.
âIt might be because of you or your husband. If you want to know why you havenât had a child, you should ask your husband to come for a check-up.â
The woman looked conflicted and told Su Qingsang hesitantly that her husband was a male chauvinist. She was afraid that he wouldnât be willing to come for a check-up.
Su Qingsang had been in the hospital for a long time and had come into contact with all kinds of patients. She could only tell her own opinion. As for what he would do, that was up to him.
It wasnât easy to settle things here. Just as she was about to rest, the office door was pushed open with a bang. Su Qingsang was shocked. She looked up and saw Huo Jinyao standing at the door with a woman in his arms.
The woman was pregnant, and there was blood under her body. Huo Jinyaoâs body was also stained with the womanâs blood.
âQingsang, save her, quick.â
Su Qingsang looked at the woman in his arms. The woman had already lost consciousness and fainted. There was no time for her to think about the relationship between this woman and Huo Jinyao.
âPut her down.â Su Qingsang performed a preliminary examination for her. With a serious expression, she said, âThe pregnant womanâs condition isnât very good. Her amniotic fluid has broken, but her uterus hasnât opened yet, and ahe has fainted. Iâm afraid that she will need to undergo a cesarean section in her current condition.â
âI believe you. No matter what, you must ensure her safety.â
Su Qingsang glanced at Huo Jinyao. She didnât expect that one day, Huo Jinyao would make the same mistake as those ordinary family members. He actually made her promise?
Su Qingsang called for someone to push Qi Xiwei into the operating room. She called the operating room and asked them to quickly make arrangements for her to prepare for the surgery.
After hanging up the phone, she turned to face Huo Jinyao.
âIâm sorry. I canât promise anything. I can only say that Iâll try my best.â
Doctors werenât gods. Qi Xiweiâs condition wasnât very good to begin with, so she could only do her best and leave the rest to fate.
Huo Jinyao nodded. âI believe in you.â
âIf itâs possible, let her family come over.â
Huo Jinyao frowned. âHer family isnât here.â
After Qi Xiweiâs stepmother was sent to prison, Qi Xiweiâs father was also demoted from his original position as president.
Lian Jin was obviously a jerk. There was no way Huo Jinyao would call him over.
âIf thereâs anything I can do, Iâll go.â
Su Qingsang blinked her eyes and gestured for Huo Jinyao to pay the fees. Then, she signed the papers and prepared for the surgery.
âOkay, Iâll go now.â
Huo Jinyao said this and rushed to the payment counter.
Su Qingsang glanced at his back and went to prepare for the surgery without saying a word.
Qi Xiweiâs condition was actually very bad, but she couldnât tell Huo Jinyao about it. She was supposed to discuss these issues with her immediate family, but Qi Xiwei didnât have any immediate family.
Sun Huiya didnât have an operation or debate today, so Su Qingsang called her over.
âThis situation isnât very good,â Sun Huiya said bluntly. âThe uterus hasnât been opened, and the amniotic fluid has been broken for so long. Letâs start the operation right away. I hope the child is okay.â
Su Qingsang wanted to say the same thing just now. After she changed into the surgical gown with Sun Huiya, they entered the operating room together.
Although this kind of surgery was difficult, Sun Huiya had always advocated for more opportunities for young people to exercise, so Su Qingsang was still the chief surgeon.
Qi Xiwei was already unconscious on the operating table. She was afraid that she would wake up from the pain later, so Su Qingsang still had the anesthesiologist put her under anesthesia.
She picked up the scalpel and gently cut open Qi Xiweiâs first layer of skin.
Everything was smooth and normal. However, when the child was carried out, everyoneâs heart skipped a beat.
The child was very small, very small, and his body had turned green. His small face had turned purple-red. The midwife examined the baby and shook her head at Su Qingsang and Sun Huiya.
âThere are no more vital signs.â
Everyoneâs mood was heavy. In the obstetrics and gynecology department, they were used to seeing life or death situations. However, the situation in front of them was something they didnât want to face but still had to face.
âTry and see if you can save him.â Su Qingsang glanced at the midwife and gestured for her to try harder.
She continued to move her hands. The midwife tried her best, but she soon shook her head at the crowd.
âThis...â Sun Huiya looked at the child and then at Su Qingsang. She was calm. She had already guessed this result.
When she examined Qi Xiwei, she didnât hear the baby move. Now, it only confirmed her guess.
Qi Xiweiâs health was too poor. It was already much more difficult for her to conceive this child than normal pregnant women.
The amniotic fluid broke too early, and the uterine orifice didnât open for a long time. The child had been trapped in there for so long, so the chances of survival werenât high to begin with.
Recalling what Huo Jinyao had said just now, Su Qingsang came back to her senses and looked at Qi Xiwei, who was still unconscious.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âContinue the operation. At the very least, we have to preserve the life of the pregnant woman.â
Actually, Qi Xiweiâs condition wasnât very good either. However, Su Qingsang and Sun Huiya were willing to do their best to save her.
In the following period of time, Su Qingsang and Sun Huiya worked together to save Qi Xiwei, who was on the verge of death.
Qi Xiweiâs health was very poor, especially her uterus. Her body wasnât suitable for pregnancy at all. The child was born with a congenital defect, and her amniotic fluid broke first today. As a result, it was indeed difficult to keep the child.
Although her life was saved now, it would be difficult for her to have a child of her own in the future.
Su Qingsang and Sun Huiya were both very experienced doctors, especially Sun Huiya. She saw Qi Xiweiâs condition in her uterus and knew that the chances of her getting pregnant again in the future were almost zero.
âThis child is her first child, right?â
âIt should be.â Su Qingsang nodded. She looked at Qi Xiweiâs pale face and frowned. It was her first pregnancy, but the situation was like this now. It would probably be hard for her to accept this fact after she woke up, wouldnât it?
Su Qingsang stitched up Qi Xiweiâs incision, and someone else took over the rest. She took a look at Qi Xiwei and left the operating room.
Huo Jinyao was still waiting outside. It had been almost three hours since she first entered the operating room.
He stood up quickly when he saw Su Qingsang.
âHow is she? How is she?â
âSheâs fine.â
Huo Jinyao was visibly relieved. âItâs good that sheâs fine.â
Su Qingsang looked at him and hesitated to speak. Huo Jinyao noticed that something was amiss.
âSheâs fine now, but whereâs the child?â
Su Qingsang didnât speak. Her expression spoke volumes. Huo Jinyao had a bad feeling about this.
âIs her child okay? It should be fine, right?â
Su Qingsang shook her head gently. âIâm sorry, I couldnât save the child.â
Huo Jinyao suddenly stopped moving. He thought of how Qi Xiwei was extremely concerned about the child, and he also thought of how Qi Xiwei wanted to give birth to the child and start a new life.
After she came back, she was obviously very weak, but she risked her weak body to help him again and again, not to mention that she had saved his life before.
He hoped that Qi Xiwei could safely and successfully give birth to the child.
Upon seeing that Huo Jinyao had fallen into silence, Su Qingsang took off her mask and spoke in a low voice.
âIn fact, when you brought her here, it was already too late. Coupled with her physical condition, it already wasnât easy to keep the child.â
Su Qingsang had already examined the child. It wasnât that she had jinxed it. The stillborn baby was much smaller than a normal baby.
He was born with a congenital defect, and he didnât receive proper care or nutrition from his mother. Even if he was born, it would be difficult for him to grow up successfully.
When that time came, it would be either a disease or an accident. It would also be difficult for his parents.
Huo Jinyao knew that what she said was true. After all, when Qi Xiwei was pregnant, her situation looked different from that of a normal pregnant woman.
âWhat about her? How is she?â
âHer life is saved.â Su Qingsang wouldnât hide anything from him. âHowever, she probably wonât have another child of her own in the future.â
âWhat did you say?â
Huo Jinyao finally had a different reaction. He stared at Su Qingsang with his eyes wide open. For a moment, he thought he had heard wrong. âHow did this happen?â
âHer body is very weak, abnormally weak. Her uterus was once severely injured. Although it has recovered, the injury is still there. She forced herself to become pregnant and increased the burden on her body.â
âIn addition, her uterus wasnât healthy enough for her to safely give birth to this child. With this incident, the chances of her having another child in the future are almost zero.â
Huo Jinyao stood there without knowing what to say to Qi Xiwei when she woke up and found out about the news.
âIf you find it difficult, let me talk to her.â
Su Qingsangâs words made Huo Jinyao look up at her. He shook his head and said, âLet me tell her.â
He had already made up his mind, and Su Qingsang didnât intend to ask anymore. However, she asked, âIs she the girl you mentioned last time?â
âYes.â Huo Jinyao was afraid that Su Qingsang would misunderstand, so he explained briefly, âI met her in the United States. Although we were classmates, we werenât actually in the same class. However, since we were both from Rong City, naturally we became closer. One of the reasons I was so concerned about her was that she no longer had any other relatives in Rong City to take care of her. The other reason is that she once saved my life.â
Huo Jinyao briefly explained what happened that year. He looked at Su Qingsang in all seriousness and said, âQi Xiwei and I were just friends and classmates. Thereâs nothing else between us. Donât think too much about it.â
Su Qingsang tilted her head and looked at Huo Jinyao because of his words. His expression was extremely serious, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand.
âYou know what Iâm thinking? Donât worry, Iâm not that jealous.â
It was good that she didnât misunderstand. Huo Jinyao reached out to pull her hand. âI know you wonât be so petty, but I still feel that I need to explain it to you.â
âI believe you, okay?â Su Qingsang looked at the time. She still had an outpatient clinic later. âI still have an outpatient clinic. This classmate of yours will be sent to the ward later. Regarding her child and her future physical condition, you can decide for yourself what to say. If you feel that itâs inappropriate to speak, I can go and explain it to her.â
âOkay.âHuo Jinyao looked at her focused and serious expression and leaned over to kiss her forehead. âThank you, honey. Youâve worked hard.â
Glib-tongued rascal. Su Qingsang glanced at him. âThatâs enough. You Donât have to say anything nice. Go and see her quickly. Sheâll probably wake up from the anesthesia soon. I still have an outpatient clinic. Iâll come back later.â
âOkay.â
Su Qingsang was about to leave when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. âOh right, get a female nurse to take care of her. Youâre a grown man. Itâs not that convenient for you.â
Su Qingsang turned her head away from Huo Jinyaoâs teasing gaze.
âTo say the least, you have a wife after all, so you should be mindful of your influence.â
The corners of Huo Jinyaoâs lips curled up, and he moved his face closer to Su Qingsang.
âJealous?â She said she wasnât jealous moments before, but now, she even told him to be mindful of his influence.
âWhatâs so funny about me being jealous? If I donât feel jealous anymore one day, then you should be crying.â
Her playful voice made Huo Jinyaoâs gloomy mood much better.
âHoney, did I ever tell you that you look especially cute when youâre jealous?â
Su Qingsang rolled her eyes at him and didnât say anything more. She turned around and left.
After she left, Huo Jinyaoâs expression immediately turned grave.
Ten minutes later, he appeared in Qi Xiweiâs ward. Her complexion was much worst than when she was firstsent to the hospital.
After a cesarean section, a pregnant womanâs stomach wouldnât disappear immediately. At that moment, Qi Xiwei looked as if she was still pregnant.
She was just lying there. If not for the fact that she was still breathing, Huo Jinyao would have suspected that she had died just like that.
Qi Xiweiâs body was very weak. She slept until nightfall before she woke up.
After she woke up, she was in poor health and she appeared very weak.
Huo Jinyao had already asked Yang Wenchang to send some important business matters over. When he saw that Qi Xiwei had woken up, he immediately went forward and sat by her bed.
âXiwei, how are you feeling? Are you feeling okay? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?â
Qi Xiwei blinked her eyes and took a long time to recover. After she recovered, she suddenly looked at Huo Jinyao.
âWhereâs my child? Whereâs my child? How is it? Is it a boy or a girl?â
Her voice became even more hoarse after the surgery. It felt uncomfortable and dry. But now, she couldnât care less about that. She just wanted to know how her child was doing.
When she was in the United States, she couldnât tell if it was a boy or a girl because it was too early. After she returned to China, the doctors wouldnât tell her the gender of the child.
She had always wanted to have a daughter. Now, she could feel that the child was no longer in her belly. It must have been born.
âWhereâs the child?â
The anticipation in her eyes was too obvious, and Huo Jinyao didnât know how to start for a moment.
âItâs a boy.â Su Qingsang had come once before, and Huo Jinyao finally had the time to ask if Qi Xiwei had a boy or a girl.
When he thought of the child, he still felt some lingering regret. The child was so young, but it was a pity that he was no longer there.
âA boy?â Qi Xiwei was a little disappointed, but it was only for a moment. âIt doesnât matter if itâs a boy. Where is the child now? Can I see him? Can I hug him?â
âXiwei, your due date isnât today, you should know, right?â
âI know.â Qi Xiweiâs voice was very weak, but it couldnât hide her eagerness to see the child. âI know it was born prematurely, the child should be in the incubator now, right? Can I go and see him?â
