Chapter 125: Saving the Mother or the Child

"Su Yanhua! Are you crazy? How did you find this place! Get out!"

Liu Wenbin was both shocked and angry, his face showing extreme embarrassment and panic as if his disgrace had been exposed; he instinctively shoved Su Yanhua hard, trying to drive her out.

"Am I crazy? I am crazy! You drove me mad!" Su Yanhua, hair disheveled, looked delirious, and the focus of the scuffle shifted to Liu Wenbin, "Liu Wenbin, you're not a human. I am carrying your child, yet you keep a prostitute outside! How can you answer to me?!"

"Ah! Brother Wen Bin!" Li Qian also screamed, hiding behind Liu Wenbin, still fanning the flames, "Who is she? Why is she so fierce?!"

"Shut up! You stinking whore!"

Hearing her voice, Su Yanhua's fury flared even more; even through Liu Wenbin she still tried to strike her.

The three instantly tangled together.

Liu Wenbin had to both restrain the raging Su Yanhua and protect Li Qian behind him, the scene descending into chaos.

In the cramped space, tables and chairs were knocked askew.

"Enough! Su Yanhua! Stop it!"

Liu Wenbin, being grabbed and struck by her, felt his face burn, and having completely lost patience, he summoned all his strength and violently shoved the Su Yanhua who was clutching his shirt!

Su Yanhua, already pregnant with a big belly, lost her balance; the angry shove caused her foot to catch on scattered clothing, and she lurched uncontrollably backward, "Bang"— crashing heavily to the floor!

Her lower back and hips hit first, emitting a muffled thud.

"Ah—!

A mournful cry of pain burst from Su Yanhua's mouth; she instantly curled into a ball, her face turning as white as paper, cold sweat streaming down her forehead, both hands clamping her belly.

"My belly... hurts so much... the child..."

A warm fluid ran down from her groin, soaking her thin pants.

Liu Wenbin and Li Qian were both stunned, staring at Su Yanhua as dark red stains spread beneath her, dumb as wooden chickens.

"Blood... blood..."

Li Qian was the first to react, pointing at Su Yanhua's lower body, her voice trembling, her face turning pale with fright.

Liu Wenbin also panicked; the anger and embarrassment on his face were replaced by terror.

No matter how cold he was, he never imagined causing a death, especially since Su Yanhua was carrying a child!

"What are you still standing there doing?! Quickly! Quickly take her to the hospital!"

Liu Wenbin's voice trembled as he clumsily tried to lift Su Yanhua, yet dared not use force.

In the end, a neighbor from next door, startled by the commotion, peeked out, saw the terrifying scene, called an ambulance, and with many hands helped carry the nearly fainted Su Yanhua down the stairs.

The ambulance's shrill siren pierced the night's silence, transporting Su Yanhua to the hospital.

Liu Wenbin's complexion turned ghastly, his spirit absent as he followed behind, while Li Qian had already slipped away unnoticed amid the chaos.

In the hospital emergency room, doctors and nurses worked frantically to resuscitate.

Liu Wenbin stood in the hallway like a wooden mannequin, still bearing the disheveled look from the scuffle and a lingering perfume scent, his mind a blank.

Liu Mother, who arrived hurriedly after hearing the news, saw her son's condition and, hearing the circumstances, was so angry she nearly fainted.

Pointing at Liu Wenbin, she could not string together a full sentence of curses for half a day.

She seized the arm of a nurse who had just emerged from the resuscitation room, her voice trembling with tears and urgent insistence: "Doctor, doctor, you must save the child! He is my grandson! Please, no matter what, save my grandson!"

The nurse winced from the grip, frowned, but maintained professionalism: "Family members, please stay calm; we are doing everything we can, and the doctor will do his utmost."

At that moment, a clamor of footsteps and wailing came from the end of the hallway.

Su Dazhuang, Wang Juhua and Su Yaozu received the news and rushed over.

Wang Juhua, upon seeing the rescue room lights on and Liu Wenbin's disheveled state along with Liu Mother's anxious expression, instantly exploded.

"Liu Wenbin! You damn bastard!" Wang Juhua lunged at Liu Wenbin, tearing at him, "What have you done to my daughter? She carries the Liu family's blood! How dare you treat her like this!"

"Is it that you were out cheating and got caught by Su Yanhua? Speak up!"

Su Dazhuang, his face turning ashen with anger, pointed at Liu Mother and scolded: "Your Liu family really has good parenting! You married my daughter and don't treat her well, and you've ruined her like this!"

"If anything happens to my daughter, I won't be done with you!"

Su Yaozu, even more brazen, rolled up his sleeve and moved to strike Liu Wenbin: "Damn it! How dare you bully my sister! I'll kill you!"

Liu Mother, seeing this, though feeling guilty, instinctively shielded her son and retorted sharply: "In-laws mother, what you're saying is wrong! Who knows what madness Su Yanhua is having, running out at night to Liu Wenbin's dorm to cause trouble!"

"She slipped by herself; how can you blame Liu Wenbin entirely?!"

"Your mother's fart!" Wang Juhua spat, nearly spraying Liu Mother's face, "My daughter, heavily pregnant, could she fall like this on her own? It must be your Liu Wenbin who acted!"

"I tell you, if my grandson is gone, your Liu family must take responsibility!"

Both families argued loudly outside the resuscitation room, drawing the attention of other patients and medical staff.

Liu Wenbin, berated by the Su family, could not lift his head, curled up behind his mother, silent, his mind a chaotic mush.

At that moment, the rescue room door opened again, and a masked, solemn-faced doctor emerged, holding a document.

"All family members, quiet down!" the doctor raised his voice, suppressing the chaos, "Who is Su Yanhua's husband?"

"I— I am!" Liu Wenbin hurried forward.

The doctor looked at him, his tone heavy: "The pregnant woman's condition is poor; she suffered a severe impact, leading to premature placental abruption and massive hemorrhage. We are now trying our best to stop the bleeding, but..."

He paused, glanced at the document, "The pregnant woman's uterus is severely damaged; to save the adult's life, a hysterectomy may be necessary."

"Hysterectomy?!" Liu Mother was the first to scream, "Then... can she have more children afterward?"

The doctor looked at her and calmly replied, "After a hysterectomy, she can no longer bear children."

"No, absolutely not!" Liu Mother, as if her tail had been stepped on, pleaded, "Doctor, please, think of a way, we must save the uterus! Our Liu family cannot end its line!"

At that moment her mind was filled only with the grandson and the Liu family's lineage; Su Yanhua's life or death seemed secondary.

"Doctor, is it more important to save the adult or that uncertain grandson? Of course, we must first save my daughter's life!"

Wang Juhua, hearing that, also grew urgent; although she also valued the grandson, her daughter's life was more important: "Doctor, is it more important to save the adult or that grandson whose survival is uncertain? Of course the daughter's life comes first!"
