章 19: Aren't You Afraid My Sister And Her Unborn Child Will Die?
編集者: Dragon Boat Translation
When Mrs. Bai saw Chu Yunyao enter, she gripped the blanket tightly. She looked at her with misty eyes and asked weakly, "Since Doctor Zhang trusts you, I trust you too. The Bai family is famous. I can't let the family business that we worked hard to handle by outsiders."
"I'm in danger now. If only one of us can survive, please save my child. When the fetus was six months old, Doctor Zhang took my pulse. My child is a boy."
She seemed to have exhausted all her strength at the end of her sentence. Her voice gradually lowered, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes. She bit her lip until it bled.
Chu Yunyao stuffed the cotton cloth she spat into her mouth, lifted the blanket, and roasted the golden needle over the fire. She pressed down on her acupuncture points and slowly inserted them into her mouth. She comforted her gently, "Don't say anything. You'll be fine if you maintain your strength and cooperate with me. Although it's premature, as long as you take good care of a seven-month-old child, the probability of survival is very high."
"If it comes to the critical moment where only one of the mother and child can be saved, I will give up the child and save the mother."
"Only by protecting the mother would you still have the possibility of giving birth to a child. If you left a newborn child alone, how would you know he would not be plotted against or influenced negatively by others?"
"Therefore, whether it's for the child's sake or yourself, you have to be safe. You must not give up."
Basins of blood-red water were brought out from the side room. Doctor Zhang was anxious, "What's going on? What's the situation inside now?"
Just as he was about to open the door, two young men barged in from outside.
One had a tender face, sword-like eyebrows, and star-like eyes. He had handsome facial features and a tall figure. He was dressed in a military uniform. He was the young master who had almost bumped into Mrs. Bai today. His name was Su Chenxi.
The other had a tanned face, a burly figure, and a rough appearance. He was Rong Xiu, the younger brother of Rong Yue.
Hearing the heart-wrenching screams from the room, Rong Xiu was so scared that his face turned pale. Standing at the door, he anxiously asked Doctor Zhang, "Didn't you check my sister's pulse last month and say she was fine? Why would she be so frightened that she's going into premature labor?"
Su Chenxi was anxious. He said weakly, "Doctor Zhang, my horse suddenly went crazy and rampaged on the street, but I'm sure it didn't hit my sister-in-law."
Rong Xiu did not wait for Doctor Zhang to speak, pushing him into the room, "My brother-in-law is still on the boat and will only be able to rush back in the afternoon. A life is at stake so I couldn't care about etiquette. Please go in and deliver for my sister, Doctor Zhang."
Before Doctor Zhang could say anything, the door was pushed open. He became indignant as soon as he noticed the only person besides the bed was a girl. He grabbed Doctor Zhang's collar and asked sternly, "What happened? My sister is in danger. You didn't even invite the most experienced midwife in the city. You allowed a little girl to deliver my sister. Aren't you afraid that my sister will die?"
The old man could only explain that the girl's medical skills were better than his.
Su Chenxi feared someone would die, so he said, "Doctor Zhang, this is not a joke. If anything happens, even if you push this girl out to be a scapegoat, you won't get away with it."
Their argument disturbed the weak pregnant woman. When she saw the room door open, she suddenly felt a strong sense of humiliation. She could not catch her breath, and she fainted.
