NOVPUBChen Nan regained his senses and an awkward smile appeared on his face; he hadn’t expected to be harshly scolded as a filthy rogue.
He cleared his throat and said, "Beauty, if I’m not mistaken, you must be over five months pregnant, right? To still experience morning sickness after five months is a bit abnormal!"
Morning sickness varies from person to person; some people never experience it during pregnancy, while other pregnant women may have it during the first three months.
Some start having morning sickness from the moment they get pregnant until they give birth.
This condition can lead to a pale and emaciated appearance, and even a reliance on nutritional injections to maintain their nourishment every day.
But the pregnant woman in front of him didn’t fall into the latter category, for her complexion was rosy and her vitality seemed abundant.
Yu Xiaomin’s gaze was cold, and her voice came out icy, "What’s it to you?"
Chen Nan’s face was full of embarrassment, "Meeting is fate, and since we are fated, let me give you a piece of advice. Go to the hospital as soon as possible and terminate the pregnancy, or you might be in danger of losing your life."
"Are you sick or something? I bear you no grudge, so why curse me?" Yu Xiaomin became angry, her eyes revealing a chilling intention.
She had finally gotten pregnant, but Chen Nan was advising her to go to the hospital to abort, even warning her of a life-threatening risk.
If it weren’t for her physical discomfort, she would have definitely scratched his face.
At that moment.
A middle-aged woman in her forties came over quickly, holding a bottle of mineral water, and said with deep concern, "Madam, please rinse your mouth!"
Yu Xiaomin glared at Chen Nan fiercely, then took the mineral water and began to rinse her mouth. When she finished and was about to scold Chen Nan, she found him already far away.
’Ugh!’
Suddenly.
Yu Xiaomin bent over and emitted a series of urgent dry heaves, this time vomiting out bile, and her expression grew even weaker.
"Madam, maybe I should drive you to the hospital for a check-up!" The middle-aged woman by Yu Xiaomin’s side was named Li Hong and was the nanny of Yu Xiaomin’s family.
"That might be for the best." Yu Xiaomin’s face was weak. She didn’t know why she was experiencing such severe vomiting, which gave her an ominous premonition.
Because she had never encountered this situation before.
Li Hong immediately drove a nanny van, taking Yu Xiaomin to the hospital for a check-up. Meanwhile, she contacted Yu Xiaomin’s husband, Zhao Xing, and informed him of the situation.
Zhao Xing arrived quickly at the hospital and when he met Li Hong outside the examination room, he asked with deep concern, "Sister Li, what on earth happened? Why did Xiaomin come to the hospital?"
Li Hong anxiously said, "I don’t know what happened. These past two days, the mistress has had severe pregnancy reactions, not just after eating, but even when she doesn’t eat anything, she vomits."
Just then.
The door of the examination room was pushed open, a doctor wearing a mask came out, holding a test report in his hand: "The pregnant woman has fallen into unconsciousness. You better take this report and see a doctor immediately!"
Zhao Xing’s pupils contracted sharply, clearly not expecting his wife to have fallen into a coma. Without a moment’s delay, he made a call to a friend, asking them to transfer his wife to the emergency room.
At the same time.
He also immediately went to the obstetrics outpatient department, handed the report to the doctor, and explained that his wife had already fallen unconscious.
The doctor quickly turned on the computer, found Yu Xiaomin’s information from previous prenatal check-ups, and began to seriously compare them, his expression growing very grave, "This shouldn’t be!"
"The fetus in the patient’s womb was developing well, with all physiological traits quite pronounced."
"But now..."
"The fetus’s physiological functions are degenerating, its heart rate and brain waves are only one third of a normal fetus’s."
"And there was a serious case of umbilical cord entanglement around the neck."
"The last prenatal check-up was five days ago, and there was no sign of umbilical cord entanglement at that time!"
Zhao Xing said anxiously, "Doctor, what on earth is going on? Why would my wife have this condition?"
He was the only son of the Zhao family.
It took three years of marriage before his wife became pregnant, which was supposed to be a cause for great joy.
Now that this happened, he was genuinely nervous.
The doctor wore an expression of bewildered disbelief: "In all my years of practice, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a case!"
Umbilical cord entanglement is quite common during pregnancy.
What is uncommon is five loops of the cord entangling the neck within five days.
"Let’s not talk about this for now, the priority is to get your wife to wake up," he said as he hurriedly left the outpatient clinic and headed to the emergency room. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
After more than an hour of emergency treatment, Yu Xiaomin woke up from her coma. She looked haggard with a blank expression in her eyes.
It seemed she didn’t know why she was there.
Seeing his wife wake up, Zhao Xing was thrilled and instinctively held her hand, whispering, "Wife, you fainted during the last prenatal check-up. How are you feeling now?"
Yu Xiaomin said weakly, "My belly feels a bit cold."
Zhao Xing furrowed his brow. It was summer, the outdoor temperature was high, and even the temperature in the emergency room was 26 degrees Celsius. Why would his wife feel cold on her belly?
Though he didn’t know the reason, he still pulled the blanket over his wife’s abdomen.
"Still cold!"
Yu Xiaomin’s face was full of distress, and her eyes brimmed with glistening tears, making her look pitiful.
"Doctor, what’s going on? Why does my wife keep saying her belly is cold?" Zhao Xing anxiously asked the doctors responsible for the resuscitation.
"Your wife’s heart rate and blood oxygen are dropping rapidly, which is not a good sign," a middle-aged doctor said softly. "We can’t rule out that it’s caused by the umbilical cord entanglement."
Zhao Xing became desperate, "Then what should we do? Can’t you think of something?"
The doctor had a grave look in his eyes, "Abort the fetus in her womb, this way the patient’s life can be saved, otherwise, there is a high probability of both mother and child dying."
Boom!
The doctor’s words hit Zhao Xing like thunder, causing his scalp to tingle. He glared angrily at the doctor, "You are doctors sworn to save lives. How can you say such cold-hearted words?"
The doctor replied helplessly, "Mr. Zhao, we too have never encountered such a case before. Other than terminating the pregnancy, we don’t have a better option."
At that moment.
Yu Xiaomin let out a terrified cry, "How can it be... just like what he said?"
Zhao Xing asked nervously, "Wife, what do you mean by that?"
Yu Xiaomin swallowed nervously, her eyes revealing unmistakable horror: "At noon, I met a young man with a hair band in the parking lot. He glanced at me and said something was not normal with my pregnancy."
"He even suggested I go to the hospital and terminate the pregnancy, otherwise my life would be in danger."
"At first, I thought he was cursing me, but now it seems he must be a sage from beyond this world!"
