Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Mother and Son are Safe
Tong Yao, who originally looked indifferent, was startled by Zhang Lijuan’s words. She glanced at Zhang Lijuan’s stomach and asked, "Have you asked the doctor and the nurse what the situation is?"
Tong Yao was pregnant for the first time, she had no experience and didn’t understand these things, but she knew this was not a good situation.
Take her for example! Ever since her pregnancy advanced, both children have moved frequently in the womb. Sometimes, while she was sleeping, she would be awakened by their movements. If they didn’t move for a long time, she would feel especially uneasy.
The babies’ movements were like a health signal, giving her a sense of security.
Seeing Tong Yao so worried, Zhang Lijuan also realized that things might be a bit troublesome. She expressed her fear, "I didn’t want to worry Boyi, so I thought since the birth is near, there should be no problem, so I didn’t say anything or see a doctor."
Seeing Tong Yao looked increasingly worried, Zhang Lijuan became anxious, "Sister-in-law, will there be anything wrong with the baby?"
The first time she gave birth, it was a close call. Now that she was almost due, Zhang Lijuan was also a bit anxious. She had been holding it in without saying, and it was even worse now that Si Boyi had an accident, she hadn’t shown her anxiety even more.
Seeing her so scared, Tong Yao suppressed her emotions and comforted her, "Don’t be afraid, there shouldn’t be a big problem, we will go and see first."
Zhang Lijuan nodded and quickly followed Tong Yao to the hospital’s first floor to register. Tong Yao asked Zhang Lijuan to wait as she rushed to the emergency room to brief them about Zhang Lijuan’s situation. The emergency room doctor asked Tong Yao to register as he took Zhang Lijuan for examination.
After Tong Yao finished registering, she received a payment notification. She didn’t have time to ask in detail but hurried to make the payment. However, as soon as the payment was successful, she received a notification that Zhang Lijuan was going to have a Caesarean section. n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
A relative’s signature was necessary for a Caesarean section. The doctor also said that Zhang Lijuan’s condition was very dangerous and that she needed to have surgery immediately. Otherwise, the baby could die in the womb. It was confirmed that the baby’s umbilical cord was wrapped around its neck, which was very dangerous.
Tong Yao briefly explained the situation and asked her to sign. Luckily, in this era, the rules for direct relatives to sign were not so strict. They even agreed to let Tong Yao sign.
A pregnant woman about to give birth signing a consent form for surgery for another pregnant woman about to give birth. The situation really was somewhat absurd. But Si Boyi was still lying in the Inpatient Department. Even if they brought the form to him now to sign, he would have to sign it. It would only be a waste of time.
Knowing that the surgery would not end so quickly, Tong Yao went to a phone booth outside the hospital to call Zheng Xiaoshuang. She briefly explained the situation and asked her to come over and help, bringing some daily necessities with her.
When Zheng Xiaoshuang heard about Zhang Lijuan’s situation, she was startled and quickly went home in a hurry to pack things and rushed to the hospital. She found Tong Yao at the entrance of the Operating Room, with the light still on in the room.
She said, "Sister Yaoyao, I fear going shopping now would be a waste of time, so I brought all the things that my child used when they were young. You can make do with it and let Lijuan use it for now, ok?"
Baby items became too small very quickly. The clothes she bought for her child were only worn a few times before they became too small. Thinking that she would have a second child in the future, she washed and carefully stored the clothes. Now knowing that Zhang Lijuan was going to give birth, she simply brought them.
Tong Yao nodded, "Lijuan’s situation is still uncertain. I’m really giving you a lot of trouble."
"Sister Yaoyao, if you say that, you are treating me like an outsider." Zheng Xiaoshuang glanced at the Operating Room and worriedly said, "Lijuan really has it hard. Both births are so dangerous, and this time she even has to have a Caesarean section."
The stitching technique for this era was not that good. She had seen pregnant women who had C-sections; there would be very noticeable scars on their stomach. Being a mother was truly not easy. She could only wish that Zhang Lijuan and the baby would be safe.
Tong Yao took a deep breath, "Her childbirths are too risky. Having two children is enough. I should talk to her later. The couple should take precautions and not have any more children."
Both births were so dangerous if they had another one, they could lose their lives.
Tong Yao did not want Si Boyi’s happy family to be torn apart.
Zheng Xiaoshuang nodded, "I also think so. It’s truly not easy for Lijuan to give birth. It feels like walking through Ghost Gate every time. She already has two children and should not take any more risks."
Given the length of a C-section, Tong Yao was worried something might go wrong on Si Boyi’s side, so she asked Zheng Xiaoshuang to go and check on him. She gave instructions, "Xiaoshuang, there shouldn’t be a big problem with Lijuan here. The chief gynecologist is performing the surgery. Don’t talk about Lijuan giving birth for now, just say she is still waiting for her examination. Otherwise, with Boyi’s temperament, he will certainly want to come over. In his current condition, he cannot get out of bed, and if he reopens his wound, it’ll be a big trouble."
There is already enough worry with Zhang Lijuan giving birth. The last thing they need now is an additional Si Boyi.
Zheng Xiaoshuang nodded, "Sister Yaoyao, please also be careful. You’re also pregnant."
She felt sorry for Tong Yao, who was pregnant and still had to deal with so many things. She did not know what was causing all these, first Si Boyi got injured, then her dog got lost, and now Zhang Lijuan was having a dangerous childbirth. All the incidents happened at once.
Tong Yao agreed and sat on the bench to wait after seeing Zheng Xiaoshuang leave. The lamp remained lit inside, and there was no bad news for the time being. Tong Yao guessed that there should not be a major problem.
Speaking of it, Zhang Lijuan was really negligent. The baby didn’t move all morning, but she still remained calm.
Actually, Tong Yao was a little worried. The gynecologist who was at odds with her in the past was a close friend of Yu Shiya’s mother. The gynecologist didn’t show anything when she was examining Zhang Lijuan, and Tong Yao didn’t know if she recognized her.
She hoped that the chief was a person who knew where to draw the line and would not take personal revenge.
There was only one hospital in Li City, and the situation was urgent. There was no way to transfer Zhang Lijuan to another hospital. This kind of surgery would only be safest when performed by her. Having her perform the surgery on Zhang Lijuan was a desperate measure.
Just as she was thinking, a loud cry from a baby suddenly came from the Operating Room. Tong Yao was overjoyed, and not long after, Guo Nan came out of the Operating Room carrying a baby.
Seeing Tong Yao waiting at the door, she said, "Mother and baby are safe."
"Thank you." Tong Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, took the baby from Guo Nan, "Is it a boy?"
Even though she was asking Guo Nan, her tone was full of certainty because Guo Nan had just said that mother and baby were safe.
Guo Nan nodded, "Yes, he’s quite chubby, weighing more than eight pounds."
Tong Yao looked at the baby and continued, "How is Lijuan?"
"The condition of the mother is also good. The chief is currently suturing her. Don’t worry." Guo Nan said softly, "Once the wounds are sutured, she will be moved into the ward. Her husband is also in the hospital, right? So, they can be arranged in the same room."
Hearing that Zhang Lijuan was okay, Tong Yao finally released a relieved sigh.
