The midwife went up to the bed and took a look at Shu Nuan under the quilt, and said in embarrassment: "The little girl looks young, and she has suffered a premature birth. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle."
Xuan Jiu looked at the doctor with red eyes and said, "I don't care, mother and son must be safe!"
The doctor said "Hmm" and immediately wrote a prescription and asked his hands to brew the medicine. He also asked the midwife to help her change into clean clothes. Then he gave her acupuncture. After that, he told the midwife some things to pay attention to, and then turned around. After taking a look at Uncle Chen, Uncle Chen could see that the doctor wanted to tell him something privately, so he followed him out.
"It's too difficult to protect both of them. She has no experience herself, and she is depressed. It will do too much harm to the child. You have to tell me, do you want to protect the safety of the adults or the children?"
No matter how calm Uncle Chen was, he was still bursting into tears at this moment. He forced himself to calm down and asked, "What if we have to save two people?"
The doctor told him clearly: "If it has to be like this, both of us may not be able to survive in the end."
…
The thunder was still rumbling, and Shu Nuan's painful screams kept coming from the room. The pain was so hysterical.
Xuan Jiu couldn't go in, so he could only dare to stay outside the house, "He will be back soon, princess, please hold on a little longer!"
Shu Nuan held on to a tiny bit of hope at the beginning, so even though it hurt so much that he broke into a cold sweat on such an icy night, he still clutched the bedclothes underneath him tightly. His nails were worn and cracked by the bed several times, but he still kept going. Grit your teeth and hold on.
The midwife told her, "Don't be afraid, girl, even if... I mean, you will have children in the future... Don't think too much..."
She looked at her with red eyes, and then looked noncommittally in the direction of the door. Her eyelashes were wet, and she blinked lightly, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
The maid handed over the decoction. Shu Nuan suddenly found the strength and swept the decoction to the ground with a wave of his hand, shouting in a hissing voice: "Get out... get away... don't touch my child... No! I'm not allowed... "
"Shu Nuan! The doctor said that you and your child can only keep one child. Do you understand what this means?"
Shu Nuan was so painful that she tilted her head back on the pillow, her pale lips slightly opened, still screaming in pain. She clenched her little hand, made it into a fist, and hit her side weakly again and again. On the bed, she shed tears, her voice hoarse and almost inaudible: "I, no. The child... can't live... I... can't... live..."
As she spoke, she slowly turned her head, looked at the midwife, closed her eyes tightly, tears streaming down her face, and begged softly: "Please..."
The midwife was so moved by such a tenacious little girl that her eyes got wet. She raised her hand to wipe her tears, nodded and said: "Okay, girl, I will try my best to help you, but you also have to fight for your reputation, okay?"
Shu Nuan nodded weakly and almost invisible.
The situation suddenly changed, and the doctor could only take the risk to come in and give Shunuan acupuncture to induce labor. Xuan Jiu, who was outside, saw the basins of blood being brought out. He couldn't help but squat at the door, holding his head and crying silently.
He didn't dare to think about how heartbreaking pain Shu Nuan would be. How could such a small body have so much blood to keep bleeding...
But even if it hurt to this extent, she still wanted to keep her child.
