The man picked up a pen and signed his name.
âHow long more before the baby comes out?
âNot sure,â the nurse replied.
The man was annoyed and grumbled, âI have a game appointment with someone. Canât this woman hurry up?
The middle-aged woman comforted her son. âIf you donât want to wait, go home first. Iâll wait here for a while.â
The man said, âI canât let Mom wait here alone. Iâll wait a little longer. I just wish that she would hurry up and not waste my time!â
The middle-aged woman said nonchalantly, âIf your wife gives birth to another daughter, you should divorce her. A woman who canât bear a son is useless. I donât even like her as a helper at home.â
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.
âThis is someone elseâs family matter. We canât interfere, Obedient Beibei.â
Tang Beibei crossed her arms and sat down, sulking.
The brawny man beside them also couldnât stand it, but when he heard Jiang Jingchenâs 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 couldnât 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, âItâs bad with the pregnant woman. The baby wonât come out. She may need a C-section, but thatâs also dangerous because her heart isnât good. How could you let her get pregnant?â
The nurse sounded very angry.
The man said, âWhat 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, âShe doesnât have any heart problem. Are the doctors mistaken?â
The nurse asked, âWere you with her when she went for her pre-natal checkups?â
Neither of the two spoke. It was obvious that they knew nothing about the pregnant womanâs 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 didnât 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 wasnât 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, âThe burden on the pregnant womanâs heart will definitely affect the baby. Has any doctor dealt with this problem before?â âThereâS a doctor, but heâs off today and wonât be able to make it here in time.â Tang Beibei bit her thumb. âHow long will it take for the doctor to get here? How long can the pregnant woman hold on?â
âShe canât hold on much longer. The doctor is on a business trip out of province.â
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 womanâs 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.
âThereâs an experienced gynecologist at a nearby hospital, but sheâs old and retired. Iâll call her, and you can send someone to pick her up. Itâll take her about 40 minutes to get there.â
âAlright, Teacher. Thank you.â 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 Chenâs prescription to give it to the nurse. But the mother and son beside her, the pregnant womanâs husband and mother-in-law, were totally unperturbed.
Seeing how busy people around them were, they werenât only ungrateful but also accused them of making a mountain out of a molehill.
The mother-in-law said, âIâve also given birth before. That woman is so delicate. Itâs just giving birth, and she caused such a huge commotion. If she didnât argue with me today, she wouldnât have gone into preterm labor. She brought this upon herself!â
Tang Beibei was so angry that she couldnât 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.
âObedient Beibei, go to the delivery ward and look after the pregnant woman. Iâll go get the medicine and ask a nurse to help brew the medicine.â Tang Beibei also sympathized with the pregnant woman, so they each took up a different task.
She hugged him. âHubby, thank you. Thank you for supporting me in whatever
I do.â
Jiang Jingchen flicked her forehead. âYouâre mine. Weâre a team.â
Tang Beibei smiled. Lives really shouldnât 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.
âHubby, I love you.â
Jiang Jingchen kissed her briefly. âIf the mother and son dare to bully you when you get there, you can just hit them. Iâll pay for their injuries, if any. Donât let yourself suffer.â
âOkay!â
Tang Beibei went to the delivery ward. The nurse did not allow her in initially, but when she heard that Tang Beibeiâs was a student of Professor Chenâs and could help, she went to ask the attending physician.
When the attending physician heard that Tang Beibei was Professor Chenâs 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 didnât work, they would have to perform a C-section.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
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 couldnât die yet.
Tang Beibei stuffed a ginseng lozenge into her mouth and fed her some water before she asked, âDo you want to keep this baby?â
The pregnant woman nodded in tears.
Tang Beibei then asked, âDo you trust me? I saved you and brought you to the hospital. I just want to help you without expecting anything in return. I wonât hurt you or the baby.â
The pregnant woman continued to nod as she held Tang Beibeiâs hand. âI trust, trust you.â
Tang Beibei made her look into her eyes. âIf you trust me, then listen to me. You must remember everything I tell you now and cooperate with me wholeheartedly.â
âYes, Iâll cooperate wholeheartedly.â
The pregnant woman trusted Tang Beibei like she trusted god.
âOkay, now that youâve absorbed the nutrients from the ginseng, take another deep breath and exhale. Tell your baby that heâs coming to this world.â 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.
âThis 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. âThis pregnant woman is probably sensitive to pain. The pain of childbirth is too great, and she wonât be able to last long.â âI just wanted to try hypnotizing her. Isnât hypnobirthing an accepted technique now?â
The old lady nodded. âYes, but itâs not very popular in China. Keep trying so she can continue to push.â
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, âPlease, help me! Help me!
