Chapter 91 Shi Jianguo Returns
Military Hospital
Gu Yihan quickly parked her bicycle and headed straight for the delivery room at the military hospital. In the spacious hospital corridor, Shi Jianguo's mother was walking back and forth.
Just then, a nurse came out of the delivery room, and Shi Jianguo's mother grabbed the nurse and said, "Nurse, how is my daughter-in-law?"
Gu Yihan quickly walked over to the nurse, grabbed her arm, and asked, "Nurse, how is Comrade Zhao Ju?"
As soon as Shi Jianguo's mother saw Gu Yihan, she began her performance: "I've been feeding and caring for her, how could she be so careless as to fall down?"
The nurse thought Shi Jianguo's mother was a good mother-in-law and patiently comforted her, "Auntie, don't be sad. Your daughter-in-law can get pregnant again in the future."
Gu Yihan was startled and was about to ask about the details when she was interrupted by Shi Jianguo's mother's shouts.
"My God! My little grandson, how could he be gone? Grandma has been waiting for him day and night, this is killing me."
After saying that, she sat down on the ground, slapped her thigh, and cried, "How could she be so careless? She fell down while going to the toilet and hurt my little grandson."
At this moment, a middle-aged female doctor came out of the delivery room and roared, "What are you howling about? Who is Gu Yihan? Comrade Zhao wants to see her."
Gu Yihan immediately raised her hand and said, "Doctor, I am Gu Yihan."
Shi Jianguo's mother quickly got up, grabbed the middle-aged female doctor's sleeve, and said, "Doctor, how is my daughter-in-law? You must save her!"
“I treat her like my own daughter. You must tell her not to be sad, that she can still have children in the future.”
The female doctor shook off the sleeve that Shi Jianguo's mother was holding onto.
She's seen all sorts of people in the hospital, including plenty of people who love to act; their words are always better than their performances.
The middle-aged female doctor looked at Gu Yihan and said, "Comrade Gu, come in with me."
Gu Yihan followed the doctor into the delivery room. There were two beds in the delivery room, and Zhao Ju was lying on one of them.
Gu Yihan walked straight past the female doctor and went directly to Zhao Ju, carefully taking her slightly cool hand in hers.
Zhao Ju's hair was soaked with sweat, and her pale face was bloodless. She looked at Gu Yihan and said weakly, "Xiaohan, I regret marrying him."
Gu Yihan quickly interrupted her and got up to walk to the bedside table.
While pouring water from the kettle, he secretly transferred water from the space into the water glass.
Gu Yihan carefully pulled Zhao Ju into her arms and whispered, "Don't talk yet, drink some water."
She picked up the water glass and carefully fed Zhao Ju water until she finished drinking.
Immediately, Gu Yihan turned around, looking expectantly at the female doctor behind her: "How is Comrade Zhao's child?"
The middle-aged female doctor looked at Gu Yihan with a pained expression and said, "When Comrade Zhao fell, she landed on her stomach. By the time she was brought to the hospital, the fetal heartbeat could no longer be heard."
"Now we can only wait for the baby in her belly to naturally emerge from the birth canal..."
Gu Yihan understood. It was the same as natural childbirth. If the fetus was alive, the child could consciously pass through the birth canal.
In Zhao Ju's current situation, the only option is to artificially compress her abdomen to force the fetus into the birth canal, which will definitely cause her considerable suffering.
Gu Yihan wondered, "Is a C-section not an option?" She looked at the female doctor and asked, "Can Comrade Zhao have a C-section in this situation?"
The middle-aged female doctor looked troubled and said, "If the fetus is healthy and there are no abnormalities, a cesarean section is possible."
The middle-aged female doctor paused for a moment, then continued, "However, Comrade Zhao's situation is special."
“A cesarean section can cause severe bleeding, which would put her in greater danger.”
Gu Yihan hadn't expected Zhao Ju to be in such a serious condition. Zhao Ju had already drunk the water from the space, and she didn't know if the water in the space could help her.
Gu Yihan wanted to ask something more, but Zhao Ju grabbed her hand and said weakly, "Xiaohan, the baby has no heartbeat. I want to give birth to him myself."
Even if he can't open his eyes to see the world, I want him to know that I have never given up on him.
Her voice trailed off: "If I don't make it through, could you come back to Jinyang City and tell my mom that I miss her?"
Gu Yihan knew she was a cold-hearted person, but at this moment her heart ached terribly, and she said with a thick nasal voice, "Zhao Ju, you'll be alright."
Gu Yihan was about to say something when the middle-aged female doctor interrupted her, saying, "The longer Comrade Zhao's child stays in her womb, the more dangerous it becomes for her."
"We need to assist her in giving birth. Comrade Gu, please wait outside the delivery room."
Gu Yihan knew what was important and what was urgent, and looked back at Zhao Ju's pale face every three steps.
She hoped that the water Zhao Ju had just drunk would last until she gave birth to the baby in her belly.
When Shi Jianguo's mother saw Gu Yihan come out, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Comrade Gu, is my daughter-in-law alright?"
Gu Yihan ignored her. Although Zhao Ju didn't say how she fell, she felt it was related to Shi Jianguo's mother.
"ah……,"
Gu Yihan heard Zhao Ju scream. She quickly walked to the door of the delivery room and listened to the sounds inside. In this era, hospital ward doors were not soundproof.
Gu Yihan clearly heard Zhao Ju's cries of pain and groans.
In the ward
The middle-aged female doctor used both hands to push Zhao Ju's belly down, allowing the fetus inside to descend little by little into her pelvis.
"Comrade Zhao, just bear with it and hang in there."
Zhao Ju felt waves of pain washing over her body, and she cried out in pain, "Doctor... I... it hurts so much."
Zhao Ju gritted her teeth and persevered, cooperating with the doctor's movements and adjusting her breathing.
Zhao Ju felt the pain in her pelvic area intensify, and in a daze, she seemed to see her baby calling for her mother.
A sudden, intense pain caused Zhao Ju to faint.
After the middle-aged female doctor discovered that Zhao Ju was unconscious, she immediately called out, "Nurse Wu, quickly bring me my acupuncture needles."
Nurse Wu immediately took out silver needles from her medical kit, and the middle-aged female doctor immediately inserted several acupuncture points on Zhao Ju's body.
Gu Yihan stood at the door of the operating room, and when she heard that Zhao Ju's voice was not inside, she was extremely worried. She paced back and forth in the empty corridor.
A series of hurried footsteps approached.
Gu Yihan saw Shi Jianguo, who was disheveled and dirty, walking quickly towards her. It was obvious that he hadn't had time to wash up before coming to the hospital.
When Shi Jianguo's mother saw her son arrive, she immediately cried out to him with red eyes, "Son, it's all my fault."
"I didn't take good care of your wife, boohoo..."
"I didn't expect it either. She fell while going to the toilet, so I rushed her to the hospital."
Shi Jianguo's mind was entirely on the delivery room. He asked, "Mother, how are my wife and baby?"
Gu Yihan clearly saw a flash of jealousy in Shi Jianguo's mother's eyes! She was shocked. Was she jealous of her own daughter-in-law?
Shi Jianguo's mother cried even louder, choking back sobs, "The doctor said the baby couldn't be saved, my little grandson is gone just like that."
Shi Jianguo was a soldier after all. Even though he was in pain, he didn't show it. He clenched his fists and stared intently at the door of the delivery room.
Time passed slowly, and Zhao Ju's cries of pain and screams continued for several hours.
