Chapter 92 The Child Who Did Not Breathe
At 10 p.m., after more than four hours of effort, Zhao Ju finally gave birth to a baby who was not breathing.
Zhao Ju held her child, whose body was turning purple and who wasn't breathing, tightly and burst into tears.
She looked at the doctor and pleaded, "Could you let me take my son away?"
The doctor looked at Zhao Ju with a heavy heart and said, "It's best to leave this child with our hospital for unified treatment. Watching him will affect your health."
Zhao Ju held her child tightly, not saying a word, silently resisting.
Gu Yihan, who was standing at the door of the operating room, was very worried because she hadn't heard any cries of pain from inside. Suddenly, she heard Zhao Ju crying, and she felt relieved.
A moment later, the operating room door opened, and Shi Jianguo rushed forward. He saw the doctor holding the lifeless child and his trembling hand wanted to touch the child's face.
The female doctor looked at the disheveled man in front of her and knew he was Comrade Zhao's lover. She said, "It's a boy. What a pity."
Shi Jianguo's eyes instantly filled with tears.
Gu Yihan stepped forward anxiously and asked, "Doctor, how is Zhao Ju?"
The doctor glanced at Shi Jianguo's mother: "You can go into the delivery room to see her, but Comrade Zhao's emotions are very unstable and she cannot be stimulated."
Gu Yihan breathed a sigh of relief; as long as everyone was alright, that was all that mattered.
Sensing Gu Yihan's tension, the hamster in the space mocked, "You've given her so much space water to drink, she must have the strength to give birth."
Gu Yihan followed Shi Jianguo's mother toward the delivery room when she suddenly heard the system's voice and stopped in her tracks.
Gu Yihan cursed inwardly, "You're so wise after the event! Why didn't you say that earlier?"
Ignoring everyone else, Shi Jianguo quickly walked to Zhao Ju's bedside and looked at her pale face.
He gripped her hand tightly, and said in a choked sob, "Wife."
When Zhao Ju heard Shi Jianguo's voice, there was no surprise in her eyes. She tried to move her hand back, but he was holding it too tightly.
She looked at Shi Jianguo with empty eyes and said indifferently, "Shi Jianguo, let's get a divorce."
Shi Jianguo held Zhao Ju's hand, feeling her resistance, and froze when he heard her say the word "divorce."
Shi Jianguo assumed Zhao Ju was upset about not having a child, so he said softly, "Wife, we can have another child in the future, I..."
Before Shi Jianguo could finish speaking, Zhao Ju suddenly sat up, ignoring the pain in her lower body.
With all her might, she pushed Shi Jianguo away and cried out in despair, "What use is it for me to marry you?"
Where were you when your mother bullied me? Where were you when I fell to the ground?
“Your mother knew I was pregnant, but she deliberately put a lot of salt and soy sauce in the cooking. I told her that pregnant women shouldn’t eat too much salt, it’s not good for them.”
Zhao Ju pointed a trembling finger at Shi Jianguo's mother standing to the side: "Your mother said I was being pretentious."
"They said that when they were pregnant, they didn't even have enough to eat, but their babies still survived."
"What does it have to do with me that your mother is pregnant and has nothing to eat?"
“I spend my own money, but she says I’m wasteful and don’t know how to manage money, and that she’s working so hard to save money for our children.”
"But my child was killed by her."
Upon hearing Zhao Ju's words, Shi Jianguo looked at his mother in disbelief: "Mother, why did you do this to my wife?"
Shi Jianguo's mother saw her son siding with his wife, a flash of resentment crossed her eyes, but she immediately put on a wronged expression and walked step by step to her daughter-in-law's bedside.
With a "plop," she knelt down on both knees and cried out to Zhao Ju, "Little Ju, it's all my fault for not taking good care of you."
“I didn’t help you when you went to the toilet, which caused you to miscarry. I’m kowtowing to you to apologize.”
After saying that, Shi Jianguo's mother kowtowed repeatedly to Zhao Ju until her forehead turned red.
Zhao Ju was lifted high by Shi Jianguo's mother kneeling down.
Gu Yihan said that she really wasn't mistaken this time. When Shi Jianguo held Zhao Ju's hand just now, her eyes flashed with jealousy.
Gu Yihan really couldn't understand why a mother-in-law would be jealous of her son's kindness towards his daughter-in-law.
When Shi Jianguo saw his mother kneeling down to apologize to Zhao Ju, he quickly went over, pulled her up, and dragged her out of the ward.
With red eyes, he growled in a low voice, "Mother, how could you do this? My wife is in poor health and can't take any stress. Why do you have to force her like this?"
Shi Jianguo's mother looked at her son in disbelief: "How could you think of me like that? I'm only doing this for your own good, I don't want her to divorce you."
Shi Jianguo looked at his mother, closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, his eyes filled with disappointment, and said, "My son is gone, what more do you want from me? How should I treat you?"
"Mother, I'm begging you, please don't go in. Zhao Ju can't take the shock."
Upon hearing this, Shi Jianguo's mother staggered and murmured, "I've raised my son for nothing."
Zhao Ju clenched her fists in anger, her lips trembling uncontrollably.
Gu Yihan quickly went to her side and patted her back reassuringly: "It's not worth it. Don't get upset over irrelevant people. Only those who care about you will feel sorry for you."
Gu Yihan looked at Zhao Ju seriously and earnestly: "For someone who doesn't care about you, even if you die in front of her, she'll still think you're bad luck, so don't do anything foolish."
Zhao Ju threw herself into Gu Yihan's arms and burst into tears: "Xiaohan, I think I have no home anymore."
She choked back tears and cried, "I regret marrying a soldier. It's so hard. No one helps me, no one protects me."
Standing at the door, listening to Zhao Ju's cries, Shi Jianguo felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.
Zhao Ju watched as Shi Jianguo walked to her bedside, then she released Gu Yihan and said, "Xiaohan, you should go back now, it's too late."
Gu Yihan glanced at Shi Jianguo, then nodded to Zhao Ju and said, "Don't think too much about it. Relax. I'll come to your house to see you when I have time."
Zhao Ju nodded, then lay down and closed her eyes, clearly refusing to communicate with Shi Jianguo.
Gu Yihan didn't say anything more and walked straight out of the delivery room.
Zhao Ju wasn't lying in bed; she kept her eyes closed and didn't open them. The room was eerily quiet.
A moment later, a hollow voice rang out: "It's just your mother and me at home. The floor from the bedroom to the toilet is covered in oil."
"It's ridiculous that such a frugal person would spill oil on the floor."
Shi Jianguo looked at Zhao Ju, who was speaking with her eyes closed, and said after a moment's thought, "I understand. I'll arrange for you to be admitted to the hospital. You should rest well in the hospital for the next few days. I will send your mother back."
Shi Jianguo knew that Zhao Ju didn't want to see him, so he went straight out of the delivery room.
