Tong Xianbao followed closely behind.
Li Sikai glanced at him and said, "Bring along what you need for production!"
Tong Xianbao was stunned for a moment, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "No, I wasn't prepared." How could he have known that Yuan Ruoxi would have a premature birth!
Li Sikai's expression was somewhat complicated. As he followed, he said, "Go and make the arrangements quickly!"
"Okay!" Tong Xianbao agreed, but he didn't know what to prepare.
At this moment, Lu Nanfang came over and said very understandingly, "Ruoxi will definitely want you to be by her side when she gives birth. Go and stay with her. I'll take care of the things."
Tong Xianbao's eyes lit up, and he said to Lu Nanfang with great gratitude, "Afang, thank you! Don't worry, Ruoxi and I will never forget what you've done for us. When our son is born, I'll have him recognize you as his godmother!"
Lu Nanfang scoffed inwardly, but smiled slightly on the surface: "Alright, you should go quickly. Ruoxi's condition can't be delayed."
"Okay, okay!" Tong Xianbao ran quickly to catch up with Li Sikai and squeezed in just before they closed the car door.
Seeing that his hands were empty, Li Sikai didn't ask any further questions. After all, this was their business, and as their bodyguard, he had no obligation to interfere.
The car arrived at Suzhou Hospital quickly. Yuan Ruoxi's condition was not good, and she was immediately taken into the operating room upon arrival.
Tong Xianbao listened to the nurse explain the potential risks, his eyes glazed over, unsure of what to say.
"Major bleeding...embryo arrest...susceptibility to survival..."
Although it might not happen, he had a bad feeling about it.
Because Yuan Ruoxi acted suddenly, without any apparent cause.
If the child was perfectly healthy, how could he not have survived until August or September? Although it's said that a child can live at seven months and die at eight, he really doesn't know what reason there would be for a child to take such a big risk and be born at seven months.
Li Sikai also found it troublesome. He hadn't expected that a simple protection mission would unfold with so many unexpected changes. At this moment, he didn't know whether he wanted Yuan Ruoxi to die or live.
The group sat silently outside the operating room. Two hours later, Lu Nanfang arrived carrying a large bag.
"Here we have a washbasin, towels, lunchboxes, and diapers. We don't have formula or bottles at home, so I brought brown sugar and a spoon. If Ruoxi doesn't have breast milk, we can give the baby some brown sugar water to tide her over."
Tong Xianbao glanced at Lu Nanfang, took the bundle, and said, "Ruoxi has milk powder in her space."
Lu Nanfang nodded, without asking where he got it.
An hour later, a nurse rushed out and shouted, "The patient is bleeding heavily and urgently needs type A blood for emergency treatment."
Li Sikai remained relatively calm and asked, "Does the blood bank have any?"
"Not much, probably not enough. The roads are icy right now, so we can't get any from the blood bank. If possible, we'll need your blood donations."
Li Sikai didn't even frown: "Take mine, I'm blood type A."
Tong Xianbao wanted to help, but he had type B blood. Lu Nanfang, on the other hand, had type A blood, but she didn't say anything and quietly huddled in a corner.
The nurse, in a hurry, said, "Could you call more people? I'm afraid 400cc won't be enough."
"Then why can't you take 600?" Li Sikai asked.
The nurse glared at him. "What era are we living in? If we take your blood, how will you replenish it? We can't save one person and then harm another."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Jianwei became anxious and hurriedly said, "Boss, don't do anything rash! Your life is more precious than anyone else's. You wait, I'll call the brothers over to donate blood right now. I don't believe that our entire guard team can't get a few people with type A blood."
The nurse nodded: "There are still some in the hospital that can hold out. Send someone over quickly. We might not need them right away, but we'll have them on hand."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Xiong Jianwei picked up his phone and called Qin Yuncheng.
After briefly explaining the situation, they promised to send people over as soon as possible.
Xiong Jianwei breathed a sigh of relief. Tong Xianbao, upon learning that someone would come to help, fell onto the bench.
His legs went weak, and he almost peed his pants when he heard about the massive bleeding. He was not only worried about his own child, but also about whether Yuan Ruoxi could be saved.
If Yuan Ruoxi gets into trouble, he will lose his backing, and the guards probably won't keep him. What will he do then?
For the first time, Tong Xianbao regretted listening to his family's advice and being greedy in his search for treasure.
In a daze, I saw a nurse bring out a baby with a bluish-purple face.
"I'm sorry, he had already been dead for quite some time when we took him out."
Tong Xianbao was incredulous. Looking at her child, she questioned the nurse: "You must have made a mistake. You must have made an operational error, right? I don't believe it. My child was perfectly fine. How could he suddenly die?"
"Look at his bluish-purple face, it must be from your slow movements, causing him to die from lack of oxygen. Don't think you can fool me just because I don't know medicine. Remember, I'm part of the guard team, and these are all guards around me. Think carefully about what you're going to say!"
The nurse was annoyed by the scolding. She opened the swaddle blanket and yelled, "Look at this! The baby's body is all rotten. How could it have just died? How can you be such a parent? You didn't even know the baby hadn't moved for days?"
"You have the nerve to question me? Let me ask you, why didn't you notice anything wrong immediately? Do you know that if the mother hadn't been in pain today, she would have died mysteriously in a few days?"
Tong Xianbao was taken aback, then remembered what Yuan Ruoxi had recently complained to him about. She said the child hadn't been moving around much lately, and she was feeling uneasy.
Upon hearing this, Tong Xianbao assumed that Yuan Ruoxi was up to her old tricks again, so he comforted her, "It's okay, Bao Bao feels sorry for you because you're too tired and wants you to rest more. Look how sensible he is, he said he wouldn't move and he didn't."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ruoxi couldn't help but laugh and didn't take the decrease in fetal movement seriously.
Tong Xianbao's face turned deathly pale as he recalled these events. He regretted his negligence, which led to the child's death. He regretted his lack of knowledge about pregnancy, which caused Yuan Ruoxi to suffer severe bleeding.
Seeing his grief-stricken state, the nurse sighed and comforted him, "Actually, it's better that the child is gone; otherwise, it would have been a painful birth."
These words were like a spark igniting a firecracker, startling Tong Xianbao, who was still filled with remorse. He stared intently at the nurse: "How dare you say that my child will suffer after birth?"
The nurse frowned and asked, "You don't know?"
"Know what?"
“There’s something wrong with the baby!” The nurse opened the swaddle blanket and pointed to a spot, saying, “This baby is deformed. It should have been detected during the prenatal checkup. Even if he were born normally, he wouldn’t live long and would likely cause his parents even more suffering.”
Tong Xianbao was stunned: "No, really? My son has had multiple prenatal checkups, and everything has been normal!"
The nurse was also surprised, "Really? Such a big defect, and you can't see it?"
Both of them were completely bewildered, and then decided to go find the doctor who had treated them.
