RYEY -Chapter 440 Caesarean Section

If she wanted a child, fine—just rest and take care of herself. But no, she had to make trouble, refusing to listen to anyone, as if others wanted to harm the baby in her womb. Now look—baby too big, difficult labor.

Cheng Qiao could no longer continue dialing. She had promised Meili that if anything happened to Yuan Qin, she would rush over immediately.

“Dad, you call Xiao Nuan and tell her Mom really misses her—and her third brother too. But this is a matter of life and death. Mom will have to call her next time.”

Li Huan wanted to follow them out, but Qin Daqiang stopped him. Li Huan was stubborn, though—now that the weather had warmed up, even if he was dressed heavily, he’d be fine.

Cheng Qiao also felt Li Huan should come along. If she stayed out for a long time and something happened to Li Huan, it would be troublesome.

Seeing he couldn’t stop them, Qin Daqiang had Guoqing drive them out. When he saw Mu Hantong standing by the car, his anxious heart finally settled.

As Guoqing saw the three get into the car, he sped toward the military hospital. There were spies in the hospital—but no one knew who they were.

They were hidden too well, and no one wanted to alert them. In fact, Cheng Qiao’s trip to the military hospital this time could be considered bait.

At the military hospital, Gu Yuhua looked at Yuan Qin’s huge belly with distaste, not knowing what to do. Yuan Qin was his classmate—he didn’t want her to lose her life.

“I told her not to eat so much—she wouldn’t listen. Look at that belly! Are you dead or what?”

Jiang Hua looked like a beaten dog, too scared to utter a word. He felt wronged, but he really was powerless. Whenever he tried to persuade her, they’d argue; when they argued, she’d throw things.

Many things at home had been broken. With one income gone, life was extremely tight. If it weren’t for Meili’s frequent subsidies, he didn’t know how they’d manage.

“Director Gu, it’s not that I didn’t say anything—it’s that she simply wouldn’t listen. For this matter, I—”

“That’s enough. This belly definitely requires a caesarean section. But today the chief obstetrician is on sick leave, so we can only let a junior doctor try.”

Yuan Qin clutched her belly and wailed, but the moment she heard Gu Yuhua say a junior doctor would perform the caesarean, she panicked.

“No! My child is precious—how can a junior doctor operate? What if the child gets hurt?”

In fact, Yuan Qin’s due date was still more than half a month away, but because her body was so heavy, she accidentally fell. Fortunately, Jiang Hua was at home at the time—otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

“If you’re not at ease, then deliver the baby yourself. The attending doctor is human too. She’s running a fever of nearly thirty-nine degrees—how is she supposed to operate on you? Aren’t you worried she might be dizzy and end up hurting the child in your belly instead?”

“This…”

“Then why don’t you find someone else yourself?”

Gu Yuhua launched into a rapid-fire tirade, leaving Yuan Qin completely speechless. Jiang Hua secretly gave Gu Yuhua a thumbs-up—impressive.

Gu Yuhua shot Jiang Hua a glare. At his age, he still couldn’t control his own legs, causing so much trouble, and yet he still had the nerve to stand there.

Jiang Meili came rushing over, panting heavily. Seeing her carrying towels, a toothbrush, a washbasin, a thermos of hot water, and a large bag of baby supplies, Jiang Hua immediately felt distressed.

“You really didn’t have to do this. Your mom hasn’t even given birth yet—there’s no need to bring all this so urgently. Where’s Chengcheng? Today’s the weekend. You didn’t leave him home alone, did you?”

Jiang Meili took a deep breath. What choice did she have but to leave him at home? Fortunately, ever since Li Chen went to the capital once with Cheng Qiao, he had become much more sensible after coming back.

“Mom, I want to say something. If you don’t want to, that’s fine—but please don’t get angry, okay?”

“You want Cheng Qiao to help deliver my baby, don’t you?”

“Mom, would you agree?”

“Fine. I’ll give her some face. Let her come.”

Yuan Qin was truly worried about the young doctor’s skill. If Cheng Qiao could help her safely deliver the baby, then she would treat her a bit better in the future.

“Send her to the delivery room first. Have the nurses take her blood pressure, draw blood, and do all the routine checks right away. Don’t make trouble for Cheng Qiao.”

When Gu Yuhua heard that Cheng Qiao was coming, he was overjoyed and immediately made arrangements. Though he coveted the prescriptions Cheng Qiao held, he genuinely admired her—she truly had real skills.

Yuan Qin was sent to the delivery room. Jiang Meili efficiently paid the medical fees, went to the ward to organize the necessities for hospitalization, and then waited at the hospital entrance.

Just as she reached the entrance, she saw a jeep drive in. This vehicle had been specially assigned after Qin Daqiang was promoted to brigade commander.

Before Cheng Qiao even got out of the car, Hantong had already jumped down and personally opened the door for her. Jiang Meili was about to step forward, but seeing this scene, she couldn’t help feeling envious.

Both were daughters-in-law of the Li family, yet she really couldn’t compare herself to Cheng Qiao. Unfortunately, her own mother had never seen this clearly—her feelings had gone from envy to jealousy, and now to resentment. It was truly speechless.

“Cheng Qiao, thank you.”

“No need to be polite. Where is your mother now? Take me to her.”

“Ah—oh! Li Huan is here too. Let’s go together.”

Jiang Meili glanced at Li Huan and couldn’t help thinking of Li Bing. Li Bing was considered handsome and imposing among the Hexi garrison troops, but compared to Li Huan, the difference was really not just a little.

The group arrived at the delivery room. Cheng Qiao had already heard Yuan Qin’s cries of pain. She took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

“Hello, Cheng Qiao. You’re here.”

Seeing Cheng Qiao come in, Gu Yuhua quickly stood up and attentively escorted her to the inner door. He wasn’t an obstetrician, so this was as far as he could go.

Cheng Qiao walked inside. When Yuan Qin saw her, her expression was a little awkward. She didn’t know what crossed her mind, but she snorted coldly through her nose. Still, she cooperated and extended her hand.

As soon as Cheng Qiao took her pulse, she knew Yuan Qin was in danger and immediately ordered preparations for surgery. Yuan Qin was startled. “Y-you—you can operate?”

Cheng Qiao didn’t say anything. She had followed Ye Jun for so long—if she couldn’t even perform a basic cesarean section, what kind of doctor would she be? She didn’t only practice traditional Chinese medicine.

In less than half an hour, a baby covered in bluish-purple bruising was pulled from Yuan Qin’s belly. The child was already in deep asphyxia. Fortunately, Cheng Qiao acted quickly, and after a series of emergency measures, the baby’s life was saved.

Yuan Qin was under anesthesia. By the time she was sent to the ward, she still hadn’t regained consciousness. Jiang Meili looked at her newborn younger brother lying in the incubator, her emotions complicated and her expression rather grim.

She had seen newborns before. When her son Li Chen was born, he had also been red and wrinkled, but he absolutely hadn’t looked like this alien-like baby.

“Cheng Qiao, is there something wrong with this child?”

Cheng Qiao smiled and shook her head. She didn’t know either. The baby was too young to diagnose anything. But if there was a problem, it would definitely be a serious one.
