Mu Jingzhe hadn't expected to hear such a question about protecting the mother or the baby. This question was a cliché in movies and novels. Mu Jingzhe didn't know how it had started. Anyway, later on, for some reason, it became the same sort of question as "Who will you save—your mother or me?".
In the past, Mu Jingzhe had always felt awkward upon hearing this question. She had even specifically tried to understand that this question was actually a joke, especially in modern hospitals. That would be up to the doctor's own judgment.
The doctor wouldn't ask a family member such a question. After all, they were the experts.
