"What are you doing?" Li Hongxia frowned. "You're not saving anyone, you're abusing a child!"
Su Wantang ignored Li Hongxia and continued to press on Dou Dou's back.
"Didn't you see Dou Dou is in a lot of pain?!" Li Hongxia shouted from the side. She looked at Zhao Jing beside her, "Sister-in-law, how can you let her do whatever she wants! She's not a doctor, she just loves to show off! What if she makes something bad happen to Dou Dou?!"
"I think we should take DouDou to the infirmary for treatment, instead of letting Su Wantang do whatever she wants!"
At this point, the onlookers began to chime in.
"Yes, treating and saving lives is no small matter! Besides, DouDou's condition is so critical, it's more reliable to seek treatment from a military doctor!"
The others were also misled by Li Hongxia, thinking that Su Wantang just wanted to show off. They all looked at Su Wantang with displeasure, saying, "This is a matter of life and death! This is not a joke!"
"Yes, even if you want to show off, you shouldn't joke around with a child's life!"
Seeing this, Sun Xiulian quietly tugged at Su Wantang's sleeve and whispered, "Tang-mei, let's just forget about it. Let's give the child to the army doctor... If the child is saved, that'll be fine, but if we miss the best time to save him, we'll get into trouble."
"I know what I'm doing." Su Wantang continued what she was doing, unaffected by the surrounding chatter.
Seeing that she was so unyielding, Li Hongxia continued, "My God, do you think you're some kind of miracle doctor? Or do you think that none of the most experienced veteran doctors in the entire infirmary are as good as you?!"
Zhao Jing, who was standing nearby, came to her senses and stepped forward. "Young lady, I'm so grateful that you jumped into the sea to save my Dou Dou without regard for your own safety... But a life is at stake, this is no small matter..." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. "Dou Dou is the child I finally conceived. If anything happened to Dou Dou, I wouldn't be able to live..."
Zhao Jing's voice was choked with sobs, "Please give me the child! I need to take him to the army doctor right away..."
“It’s not that I don’t want to give you the child.” Su Wantang said with a serious expression as she continued what she was doing, “This child has seawater in his lungs. If it can’t be expelled in time, he will be at risk of suffocation! If this child doesn’t make it to the infirmary, he will die.”
These words caused an uproar among those around them.
"What do you know! Do you even know anything about medicine? You're just spouting nonsense!" Li Hongxia yelled from the side. "I don't think you know anything at all! You're just talking rubbish! Sister-in-law, don't listen to her, this is your own son! If she makes things worse, you'll regret it!"
"That's right, the child is the most important!"
"Don't let her do anything reckless!"
The voices in the crowd grew increasingly agitated, and some even tried to step forward to stop Su Wantang.
Just then, Su Wantang suddenly raised her head, her gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Li Hongxia.
"Since you're so sure I'll kill the child," she said calmly, "how about we make a bet?"
Li Hongxia snorted coldly, "What are we betting on?"
"I'll bet on whether I can save Dou Dou!" Su Wantang continued her work, uttering each word clearly.
"Fine, if you kill the child, you'll not only have to leave the family compound, you'll also go to jail!" Li Hongxia raised her chin high, glancing at Su Wantang. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
