Chapter 2134: Bleeding

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Zijin tussled her hair. “Mom, don’t worry. I’m just an ordinary person. I won’t even dream of committing murder or arson, let alone do it. I’m just thinking of how best to take care of the three children that my sister gave her life to give birth to as well as her most beloved husband. It’s not within my control whether she dies. There’s nothing for me to be guilty about. Mom, I’m going back to my room to play my video games. Don’t sleep too late after watching your drama.”

What she and her mom needed to do now was to have a good rest so that they would be fully energized once the situation really reached that point. Then, that would be the time for them to act.

Qiao Nan simply did not wish for Qiao Dongliang to spend money on her, much less have anything to do with Qiao Zijin. She had never expected Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi to think that she had a foot in the coffin because of that..

Knowing that Qiao Nan had it tough and needed someone to take care of her, the Zhai family hired a young and strong confinement nanny, who was only thirty-two years old, to take care of her. From then on, it was always this confinement nanny who accompanied Qiao Nan on her prenatal checkups.

“Are you tired? Shall I help you massage your waist?” Now that Qiao Nan was seven months pregnant, every second felt torturous to Qiao Nan. It felt even worse than it had been in her dream. Sometimes, Qiao Nan finally fell asleep after a long while due to the pain in her hips and waist, only to be awoken by fright.

Upon learning of the situation, the confinement nanny spent almost the entire twenty-four hours in a day by Qiao Nan’s side, lest the same situation occurred again. “Actually, you can consider admitting yourself into the hospital if your stomach is too big. At the very least, the doctor will be more skilled in handling the situation if anything happens.”

The confinement nanny did have experience taking care of pregnant women. However, she did not have any experience taking care of one who was this old and pregnant with triplets. The confinement nanny did not dare to take any chances given the Zhai family’s position and status.

At this time, the confinement nanny had much more confidence in the abilities of the doctors and nurses in the hospital.

“Alright.” Qiao Nan felt that every breath was a chore to her. “The doctor did mention it when I was about four to five months pregnant that it would be best for me to be hospitalized once I entered my seventh month of pregnancy in case anything were to happen. It’s just that it’s much more comfortable to remain at home. That’s why I’ve been putting it off for so long.”

It had been half a month past the time the doctor had asked her to be admitted. Qiao Nan was not so bold to continue dragging the matter on. This was not just a matter of her own comfort. It concerned the health and safety of her and her children. For herself and for her children’s sake, Qiao Nan would not take the chance and remain at home, as she had done in her dream. Now, she was no longer young or strong. She could not continue insisting on remaining at home while hoping that her children could remain in her stomach for a longer period of time.

It was truly too heavy of a burden for Qiao Nan to be pregnant with three children. Because she loved and cherished the three children, she could not afford to be willful and stubborn. That would only harm her three children in the end.

“Help me out. I’ll tell Mom and Dad about the situation. I’ll get myself admitted today.” Qiao Nan could not be certain, but she had a strong voice in her mind, telling her to get herself admitted into the hospital. She wondered if it was because of her anxiety or whether she was being overly sensitive, but Qiao Nan felt that her face was paler than usual and she was feeling rather unwell.

“Alright.” The confinement lady seemed even more worried than Qiao Nan at the sight of her expression.

The moment Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui heard that Qiao Nan wanted to be admitted, they immediately instructed their driver to send Qiao Nan over. Miao Jing was flustered and could not help but want to tag along. “Old Zhai, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to fall asleep if I don’t watch over her myself.”

They had worried when they had had no children in the family. It was supposed to be a joyful occasion now that they were welcoming three children at once and yet, they still had to face such a worrying situation. The heavens were truly intent on not giving them a peaceful life.

“Alright, go ahead and check on her. Get the driver to send you back later. Don’t dawdle in the hospital later. Think about your age. Don’t let the confinement nanny have to worry about you too.” Just like Miao Jing, Zhai Yaohui was worried about Qiao Nan and the children.

Because he had read up about pregnancy, Zhai Yaohui understood that Qiao Nan was truly putting her life on the line by carrying three children for the Zhai family at her age. Because of Qiao Nan’s good intentions, the Zhai family had to do their utmost to ensure Qiao Nan’s safety. Moreover, Qiao Nan was carrying their grandchildren. He could not afford to put Qiao Nan or her children in any danger. Not one person in the Zhai family would be able to accept such an accident.

All one could say was that a woman’s sixth sense was often accurate. Qiao Nan had not even been admitted for an hour before her vitals started to fluctuate. Most worryingly, Qiao Nan had found blood on her underwear when she had gone to the toilet.

When the confinement nanny heard about that, she wasted no time in calling for the doctor to do a thorough checkup. After an hour, the doctor had checked everything possible. Even before the results were out, the doctor had instructed Qiao Nan to rest on the bed and avoid moving around as much as possible to lower the chances of a miscarriage.

Because of this, both Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui had gone through a huge scare. At that time, Zhai Yaohui had not been present at the birth of his two children. The only impression Zhai Yaohui had of childbirth was Miao Jing being pregnant and her stomach growing. When he had returned, Miao Jing’s stomach had returned to normal and the baby in Miao Jing’s arms was almost old enough to wave to him, hit him, and even punch him!

It was only now that Qiao Nan was pregnant did Zhai Yaohui realize what childbirth was about. Women truly toed the line of death when giving birth!

Seeing this, Zhai Yaohui did not hesitate in using his special privilege for the first time, ordering Zhai Sheng to go on a break and return home. Upon hearing that Qiao Nan and his children had gotten into such a serious situation, Zhai Sheng practically flew back. He had not even had the time to return home to change his clothes before rushing down to the hospital. “Mom, what’s wrong with Nan Nan and the children? Is Nan Nan alright?”
