The man held great respect for the doctors at that moment. He quickly handed the baby over to someone else and accompanied Lysander out into the hallway.

Lysander said in a cordial manner. “I heard that your wife’s family isn’t around here, and they won’t bel able to arrive until tomorrow. Giving birth is a tough ordeal for her, and she really needs to take good care during her postpartum recovery.”

The man nodded rapidly. “Absolutely! With the addition of this child, my wife is the greatest contributor to our family. I must definitely take good care of her.”

He was sincere in his approach, speaking nothing but the truth. However, after a day filled with busyness and his naturally slow–witted nature, he hadn’t thought to show care for his wife.

Lysander was slightly relieved and said earnestly, “Adding a child to the family is certainly a joyous occasion. Everyone has rushed off to see the baby, leaving your wife all alone. She’s still in a weakened state, you know.”

before. Upon

The man hadn’t considered things in such a delicate way hearing this, he earnestly recalled everything since his wife became pregnant. In an instant, the eyes of this grown man welled up with tears.

“Doctor, you’re right. I was indeed negligent just now. I forgot to comfort my wife. She’s been through so much, and her family isn’t here with her. I should take better care of her.”

“All right. Go ahead.”

The baby’s father quickly returned to the ward. He walked straight to the bedside, took his wife’s hand, and poured out a long string of words.

“Honey, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been so focused on the child that I forgot about your feelings. From now on, I’ll listen to everything you say. Once we get home this time, you just rest. I’ll take care of the child. Oh! Also, you can pick the name!”

These words were unadorned, yet they were the heartfelt confession of a man to his wife.

Finally, the new mother broke down in sobs, crying out loud and clutching her husband tightly.

Upon hearing her daughter–in–law’s cries, the baby’s grandmother quickly rushed over with the child in her arms to ask, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Oh! I almost forgot! I made you some chicken soup when I was at home.”

The relatives hurriedly rummaged through the pile of things they had brought along. Quickly, they pulled out an insulated tin lunch box, a common sight in the countryside, filled to the brim with hot chicken

soup.

After giving birth in the countryside, women would typically consume chicken soup to rejuvenate their bodies.

The man hurriedly opened the lunch box, intending to feed his seemingly weak wife some chicken soup. After her tears had subsided, she shook her head and asked, “Have you thanked the doctor? I lost so much blood carlier I thought I was going to die this time. Without their help, I definitely wouldn’t have made it.”

Lysander didn’t want them to feel burdened, so she quickly stepped forward and explained, “He has

Still, the new mother insisted, saying, “Please, don’t be modest. I heard everything from my ward If it weren’t for your expertise in adjusting the baby’s position, I fear both my child and I would have been in grave danger.”

Previously, the man was only aware that his wife and child were in danger, but he hadn’t been in the delivery room to witness the dire situation first–hand. It was only after hearing from his wife that he was filled with immense gratitude. He came before Lysander once again, expressing his profound thanks.

“Doctor, you saved the lives of my wife and son. I truly don’t know how to express my gratitude…..” he said, his eyes reddening involuntarily. The next second, following the traditions of the countryside, he added, “How about this? Let me bow to you as a token of my immense gratitude!”

Without a second thought, the man was about to kneel before Lysander, which startled her. She quickly moved to help him. Flustered, she said. “There’s really no need for this. I’m a doctor, and it’s my duty to save lives and heal the wounded. Please, don’t… You mustn’t… You need to get up…

For the first time, Lysander saw such a grand spectacle and felt utterly overwhelmed by the excessive formality. She hurried over to support him.

Upon seeing the situation, the baby’s grandmother and other relatives were afraid that their etiquette! might not be up to par, which could potentially make Lysander feel unwelcome. They quickly gathered around her to express their gratitude. Amidst the chaos, someone even pulled out a monetary gift to give to her.

Upon seeing the situation, Lysander didn’t dare to hesitate. With firm resolve, she refused, saying. “You’ve already paid the consultation fee. Please take it back!”

The baby’s grandmother appeared somewhat uneasy as she said, “But after all, you’ve done us such a huge favor.”

Lysander composed her expression, saying with polite yet firm resolve, “I am a doctor. It’s my duty to do all of this. If you truly want to thank me, take good care of the mother and child. When the baby’s welcoming party comes around, remember to invite me.”

“Absolutely! That’s for sure!”

– As Lysander was fretting about how to extricate herself, Karen had finished tidying up the operating room and came over. Seeing Lysander surrounded by people with no way out, Karen stepped forward to help, saying, “Dr. Thorne has been busy all night. She must be tired. Let her go home and rest first. We can discuss any issues tomorrow.”

The family of the woman who had just given birth were residents of a nearby village, known for their simplicity and honesty. When they heard that Lysander had exhausted herself, they, without waiting for Karen to say anything more, quickly stepped aside to clear the path for her to leave the ward.

Lysander was mentally strained the entire night, truly exhausted to the point of near collapse. Politely saying her goodbyes to everyone, she then retreated to her dorm in the back courtyard.

The most impressive structure within the health center was undeniably the two–story building at the front, serving both as an outpatient department and wards. In stark contrast, the dorms located at the back appeared significantly less appealing.

It was just a typical rural home, a space so small that it could only accommodate a table and bunk beds.

Lysander and the three new nurses resided here, all of whom had voluntarily applied to support the

village’s healthcare system. Initially, they struggled to adjust, but upon learning that the villagers had specifically built the dorm for them, they were deeply touched and chose to stay.

This area was located in a remote region where economic development was practically impossible. The young people were either working in the fields or had left to seek employment elsewhere. Over time, the loss of medical resources became a serious issue.

Even when all the nearby villages were taken into account, there was only this one decent health center.

Upon learning of the situation, Lysander was silent for a while. Then, she fully immersed herself in her role as a doctor. By then, she was so familiar with the dorm that she could find her bed in the dark without even needing to turn on the light.

Accompanied by the creaking of the bunk bed, she lay down fully clothed. By the time she woke up from her sleep, the day was already bright. The three nurses who shared the room with her had already returned and had a rest, then folded their blankets and made their beds, ready to start a new day of work.

Rubbing her eyes, Lysander sat up and asked, “How’s the condition of the woman who gave birth yesterday?”

The last remaining nurse turned and responded, “She’s doing well. It seems that the patient has regained some energy. However, given the severity of what she has been through, it’s best to keep her here for observation for a few days.”

Lysander wanted to see her again, but she was afraid of encountering her family and having to perform elaborate customary greetings. Hence, she continued to ask, “What about her family?”

The nurse responded meticulously, “Her mother–in–law had to go back to prepare a warm room for her daughter–in–law and grandson. She had already left with all the relatives, leaving only her son behind to continue taking care of the new mother.”

Lysander breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to go and take a look. Right then, the dorm door was knocked

оп.

The nurse closest to the dorm door quickly stepped forward and swung it open.
