Chapter 186 We Have Done Our Best
My heart sank. I knew what the blood on her lower body meant. My cousin was less than three months pregnant, which was a very unstable time.
My heart ached and I looked at my brother-in-law. It was obvious that he had realized it too. He looked very sad, but he still gritted his teeth and picked up my cousin and jogged to put her carefully in the car.
"The nearest tertiary hospital is the First People's Hospital in the neighboring county." My uncle had quickly checked the navigation. Then he thought for a moment and turned back to my cousin, saying, "Brother, go and turn yourself in. Don't wait for the police to arrest you."
After saying that, he turned around and got in the car.
My cousin's legs went weak and he wanted to kneel down again, but no one was busy with him now. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw that he got into the van with a pale face and followed us down the mountain.
My brother-in-law drove very fast on the way down the mountain, and Xiao Shiqiu followed calmly behind. I was frightened and pursed my lips tightly without saying a word.
Half an hour later, we finally arrived at the hospital in the neighboring county. When I got off the car, I saw my brother-in-law carrying my cousin into the emergency room.
The doctors and nurses immediately arranged for emergency treatment. My brother-in-law cried to the doctors, "My wife is still pregnant. Please save her. If the child cannot be saved, forget it. But please don't let anything happen to the adults."
While the doctor was putting various devices on my cousin, he asked the nurse to notify the gynecologist for a consultation.
Half an hour later, the doctor came out and asked, "Which one is the family member?"
We all stepped forward, and the doctor looked at us and asked, "What is your relationship with the patient?"
"I'm her uncle."
"I'm her fiancé."
"She's my cousin."
The doctor quickly assessed the closeness of the relationship and asked my brother-in-law, "Have you and the patient obtained a marriage certificate?"
My brother-in-law's face froze. "Not yet, but the baby in her belly is mine."
Unfortunately, in the eyes of doctors, even if they have their own people in key positions, it is useless.
The doctor frowned. "That's useless. What about the direct blood relatives? None of them came?"
The uncle couldn't help but say, "Doctor, just tell me, how is she doing? I'm her uncle, I can make the decision."
The doctor's face was heavy, "We have tried our best..." Before he could finish, my brother-in-law burst into tears.
I understand this line, I've seen it too many times in TV dramas.
My nose suddenly felt sore and I threw myself into Xiao Shiqiu's arms and started crying.
The doctor was stunned and said, "Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet. The patient can still be saved, but our hospital's equipment and technology are not up to standard. We can't save him.
The patient's embryo had stopped developing a few days ago, but the uterine cleaning was not performed for a long time, resulting in intrauterine infection.
Originally, we could have treated the intrauterine infection, but the patient also had severe hypothermia, malnutrition, and dehydration.
These problems caused her immunity to be too low, which led to sepsis, which has a very high mortality rate, possibly 20%-50% or even higher.
Our hospital is really unable to help. It would be best to send you to Hexie Hospital in City A. And you should be mentally prepared, the cost of treatment for this disease may be very high."
After the doctor finished speaking, my brother-in-law was stunned. "With a 20% mortality rate, there's still an 80% chance of survival, right?"
He simply ignored the following '50% or even higher'.
The doctor was silent for a moment: "The mortality rate of leukemia is only 30%."
As soon as these words came out, my brother-in-law continued to cry.
The uncle hesitated. The expenses should be paid by his uncle's family, but would they pay the huge medical expenses for their daughter?
