Chapter 245: She failed to borrow luck, and Heaven punished her!

~8 min read 1,432 words

"Strange, there are no traumatic areas on the pregnant woman, why would there be such abdominal spasms?"

"Doctor Hao, could it be a nuchal cord?"

"Arrange the CT machine immediately, screen it!"

"Received."

In the hospital, the gynecologists were on high alert, all attaching great importance to the condition of this parturient.

Zhou Yan collapsed outside the operating room, and he wasn't doing well at all.

Last night, he sent his wife to the clinic, and the doctor at the clinic said they couldn't find the problem and told him to wait until the passenger ship opened today to send her to the military region hospital, which would be better.

The medical conditions of the military region hospital were certainly much stronger than those of the clinic.

Plus, his wife quieted down in the second half of the night, and the bleeding stopped. He didn't close his eyes all night, and as soon as it was dawn, he carried his wife onto the passenger ship to find his brother.

"Brother Zhou, don't panic first. The hospital director has invited a team that is quite good at obstetrics and gynecology to the island, so sister-in-law should be fine. You sit on the chair and wait first, I'll go handle the hospitalization procedures for sister-in-law and bring you something to eat..."

As a brother, as a man, he completely empathized.

If it were his wife who encountered this kind of thing, he wouldn't be any better off.

After a simple comfort, he helped Brother Zhou sit on the chair and then went to get busy.

The military hospital wouldn't refuse a life-saving request from an ordinary pregnant woman.

But after all, she wasn't a military dependent, so if he wanted to be hospitalized smoothly, he still needed to go through procedures.

Zhou Yan looked at his good brother's back, his mouth moved, and the silent "thank you" was stuck in his throat.

He suddenly felt that he was so useless, so incapable!

But he still had a good brother, and his good brother was willing to pull him up. He was endlessly grateful!

He was also reflecting on himself: had he not paid enough attention to his wife recently? Had his wife accidentally eaten something?

Various guesses swirled in his mind; he would never have imagined what his wife had done behind his back...

More than an hour later, Zhou Yan, who had eaten a simple meal, finally waited for the operating room light to go out.

The middle-aged doctor in a white coat walked out, saw him, took off his mask, and signaled him to step aside to talk with a serious face.

"Both the adult and the child were rescued in time, and there is no life-threatening danger."

The doctor first reported the good news, then looked troubled and said a dangerous discovery:

"After our screening, we found that the child in your wife's belly has an extra hand bone, that is to say, the child has an extra finger on the right hand, and the lips seem to have some problems, which might be a cleft lip, that is, a harelip..."

"This time your wife had heavy bleeding because the pregnant woman's body is weak and has insufficient coagulation function. She needs to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time, with medication and recuperation..."

"Whether to protect the fetus or make other choices, you two should discuss it and then tell us doctors the answer."

After Zhou Yan heard this, his face was bloodless.

This man who was once iron-blooded and stood straight, for the first time, bent his waist and clasped his hands together to pray:

"Doctor, please, save my wife. She is still young, and the child—we can have children in the future."

"Sir, please calm down. Wait until your wife wakes up, discuss it, and then talk."

Doctor Hao sighed helplessly. Encountering this kind of thing, between protecting the adult or the child, this man was "man enough" to choose the adult.

But this matter wasn't something one man could decide alone. The pregnant woman needed the right to know and to jointly choose whether the child in her belly would stay or go.

She was almost six months pregnant; if she didn't want it, it would also be a huge blow to the pregnant woman's body.

If she wanted it, the child was born with a disability. The finger could be arranged for surgery to remove it, but the cleft lip wouldn't be possible...

A harelip meant that the child would have to endure the strange eyes of others from a young age.

And currently, no hospital had relevant treatment records. Once the child was born, they would have to live with a lifetime of ridicule, incomprehension, and disgusted looks...

Zhou Yan's feet were like they were tied with lead balls, unable to move.

Heaven, if there must be retribution, let it come at him!

Why, why did it have to be retribution on his child!

Not far away, having witnessed the whole thing and heard what the doctor said to Brother Zhou, Jiang Ye gripped the water bottle in his hand tightly.

He wanted to go home now, very much.

Ji Xianxian was pushed into the ward, and Zhou Yan, as a family member, was called by the nurse to explain the precautions.

Jiang Ye silently put down the water bottle, didn't disturb Brother Zhou, exited the ward, and closed the door.

Ji Xianxian's consciousness was returning. She heard the sound of the door closing, she heard her husband's sobbing...

At the same time, in the operating room, she also heard the exchange between the doctor and the nurse.

Cleft lip, an extra finger, the retribution had come.

She failed to borrow luck, and Heaven punished her!

Why did it fail?

She didn't know.

She only knew that her child had paid the price of being born disabled because of her greed...

After Jiang Ye returned home, he smelled a fragrance.

He saw his wife in the kitchen, humming an unknown little tune, busy around the stove in a good mood.

From time to time, she teased Tangyuan, interacting with Tangyuan.

The light fell on them, and the warm sense of happiness filled his heart.

His wife, his child, must be healthy.

"Meow."

Master, the big boss is home.

Tangyuan bit a small dried fish, consciously left the kitchen, and went to play with the ball on the new cat tree under the eaves.

"I made seafood noodles, let's eat together."

Shen Man looked back, revealing a big smile.

Only her husband returned alone, so Brother Zhou was staying at the hospital.

She didn't have a good impression of Ji Xianxian, so she didn't take the initiative to care about the other party's situation.

"Mm."

Jiang Ye didn't say anything, worried that his wife would be soft-hearted and be frightened if she heard about it later.

No one was more important than his wife.

Even if it was a good brother, he would stand behind.

"Were the children good today?"

"Good, super good, when they kicked me, it was light, they held back their strength."

"That's good."

Jiang Ye stared at his wife's belly thoughtfully. Since this pregnancy already had twins, a boy and a girl, making a "good" character, then there was no need to give birth again in the future.

Two children were enough.

He remembered that the military region hospital had the conditions for ligation, so the matter should be done sooner rather than later...

Shen Man didn't know that the man beside her was thinking about ligation; she only knew that he seemed very depressed today. After eating the seafood noodles, he went to the kitchen to make another meal and a nourishing soup, saying he was going to the hospital and would be back later.

"Okay, I'll go to Sister Qinghong's house in the afternoon. She said she knitted a wool hat for me, I'll go try it on."

By the way, she would send a portion of the snacks she made over. Reciprocity, she didn't take advantage of small things.

"Okay, pay attention to safety on the road."

Jiang Ye nodded, indicating he knew.

The Jiashuyuan was close, not far.

Ye Qinghong was the wife of her brother-in-law's comrade, Gangzi, so it was fine to have close contact.

"Meow."

Master, I'll follow the big boss to the hospital.

I have to see what the situation is with that Ji Xianxian, otherwise I won't be at ease.

Shen Man made an OK gesture and agreed. ===== CHAPTER 246 =====
