Chapter 163 When will I be able to have my own child?
Du Ruoxia took out her medical kit and took out a complete set of silver needles.
Cui Limei was terrified. Hearing that there was still hope, how could she refuse?
"Thank you so much for your help."
She obeyed Du Ruoxia's instructions, lay flat on the bed, closed her eyes, and obediently waited for her to treat her illness.
Du Ruoxia disinfected the silver needles and performed the acupuncture on her with smooth and effortless movements.
She knew the acupoints on the human body by heart.
I used to use a scalpel most often, and it's been a long time since I've performed acupuncture on someone.
Although her movements were a bit rusty and slower than before, she was still able to pinpoint the acupoints accurately.
A dozen minutes later, Du Ruoxia removed the needle, and Cui Limei indeed felt that her breasts were not as swollen and painful.
"I'm about to start the massage. It might be a little painful during the process, so please bear with it."
Du Ruoxia gave a reminder, and only began to work after seeing Cui Limei nod.
She rubbed her hands together to warm them and began to massage her using her unique technique.
The acupuncture and massage took a full hour, and by the end, Du Ruoxia's forehead was covered in sweat.
Cui Limei bit her lower lip tightly, clearly feeling the pain, but she didn't let herself make a sound.
Now that Du Ruoxia has stopped moving, she does feel much more comfortable.
"Dr. Du, thank you so much. You've worked so hard today. I feel much better now."
Cui Limei's forehead was still sweating; she was in so much pain.
"Let me check your abdominal wound again. If it's healing well, the stitches can be removed in the next few days."
Through these treatments, Cui Limei had already developed complete trust in her, and this time she agreed without any hesitation.
Du Ruoxia lifted her clothes and carefully examined the wound.
The wound is slightly red, which is probably due to some inflammation.
She disinfected and changed her dressing again before covering her with a blanket.
"Your wound reopened before, didn't it?"
Although Du Ruoxia was asking a question, she was very certain of it.
Cui Limei nodded apologetically. She had accidentally used too much force when she held the baby, and her wound had indeed reopened a little.
She was bleeding a little and in some pain at the time, and her husband was not home. Her mother-in-law was busy taking care of the child and doing housework every day, so she was too embarrassed to tell her.
"You still need to be careful afterwards. I'll come back in three days to check your wound. If it's healing well, I'll remove the stitches then."
"In addition, your chest blockage was quite severe. Although I cleared most of it for you this time, I still couldn't get it all done in one go."
"I'll come back to do acupuncture and massage for you when the stitches are removed. You need to pay attention to applying heat these days and also take some time to press the acupoints yourself."
Du Ruoxia taught Cui Limei a few simple steps. After the biggest blockage was resolved, the other blockages would have to be dealt with gradually.
Cui Limei nodded repeatedly, feeling even more grateful to Du Ruoxia.
She was incredibly lucky to have given birth this time; if she hadn't met Du Ruoxia, she probably wouldn't be alive today.
Her adorable twins also perished.
Du Ruoxia not only saved her life, but now she also gives her massages and helps her recover.
Cui Limei felt that she owed her too much, and that she could never repay her in this lifetime.
It's truly their good fortune to have such a skilled doctor in the family compound.
"Dr. Du, I'm not very educated, so all I can say is thank you. Once I'm better, please let me know if you ever need anything from me, and I'll definitely help if I can!"
Du Ruoxia made no demands, but Cui Limei, out of gratitude, took the initiative to make promises to her.
"I happen to know some medical skills, and I'm happy to be able to help you. You should rest well these next few days. Yang Zeyan and I will head back now."
Du Ruoxia had saved countless lives when she was a chief physician, and many people had said similar things to her out of gratitude, but she never took it seriously.
People do say touching things when they are particularly grateful, but they don't necessarily do what they say.
Moreover, she charged for saving people, so she can't be considered particularly noble.
Once you've taken the money, there's no need for gratitude.
Du Ruoxia looked at the child lying next to her. The child's small body was nestled in the blanket, with only a tiny face showing.
He was born later and was a bit small. He also suffered from oxygen deprivation at birth, but fortunately, he seems to be doing relatively well now.
When Cui Limei saw Du Ruoxia looking at the child, she quickly took the child and handed it to her.
"Please, Dr. Du, examine my child's condition again."
Du Ruoxia did not refuse and took the child from her hands.
The child was small and soft, but Du Ruoxia had seen her more vulnerable moments before, so she didn't feel panicked.
She held the child in her arms, took a small blanket from the side and covered him with it, and began to carefully examine the child's body.
Because they were twins, all of the children's health indicators were much lower than those of a singleton.
However, for twins, it's already considered good if both babies weigh more than three pounds.
In particular, Cui Limei was very thin, and she quickly regained her original weight after giving birth.
"The baby suffered from oxygen deprivation at birth, but fortunately, he was rescued in time. Although he is not very big now, he will catch up with his size if he is well cared for."
Du Ruoxia's words reassured Cui Limei, and a faint smile finally appeared on her pale face.
Du Ruoxia took the child back into her arms, smiled at her, and then got up and left.
Yang Zeyan sat outside for too long and talked too much with Liu Zhengwei.
Just as he was feeling parched and about to collapse, he saw Du Ruoxia come out of the room.
He immediately returned the child to Liu Zhengwei and stood up to look at Du Ruoxia.
"Honey, it's so late, shouldn't we go home?"
"Yes, I just gave Cui Limei a massage, and my hands are really sore now. I want to go back and soak them in hot water."
Du Ruoxia flexed her fingers, and Liu Zhengwei and his mother quickly got up to bring her some hot water.
"No need, I have hot water at home."
Yang Zeyan took Du Ruoxia's hand and led her away.
Judging from his anxious look, it's as if a ghost is chasing him.
The two walked quite a distance before Du Ruoxia couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Yang Zeyan, why were you walking in such a hurry just now?"
"I've never taken care of a child before, I have no experience."
Yang Zeyan lowered his voice and said embarrassedly that Liu Zhengwei had never taken the child back after giving it to him at first.
Yang Zeyan maintained the same posture for so long that his entire arm became sore.
But Du Ruoxia hadn't come out yet, leaving him in a dilemma of whether to stay or leave.
"If you have children in the future, are you also planning to be a hands-off parent?"
Du Ruoxia knew she shouldn't have asked that question, but she couldn't help asking it anyway.
Yang Zeyan was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.
Du Ruoxia just wanted to have a child with him?
When Du Ruoxia saw that Yang Zeyan was still in a daze after she asked such a serious question, she immediately nudged his arm in annoyance.
"Staff Officer Yang, I'm asking you a question. Are you not going to answer, or is this a question you can't answer?"
"No, I was just thinking about when we can have our own child."
Yang Zeyan wore a hopeful smile.
Then came a sleepless night.
