Chapter 190
Thanks to Director Su's quick and steady hands, he was able to pull the disobedient child out before he started to suffocate, and the mother and daughter were safe.
"I've been in clinical practice for decades, and I haven't encountered many such treacherous children. He's a ruthless person, and he deceived me too. I was so worried during the operation, afraid that the umbilical cord would get twisted when I took it out, so I didn't dare to delay it at all. But when I took it out, I saw that this little guy was playing with the umbilical cord in his hands."
When she saw the fetal monitor, she was afraid that the umbilical cord was torsion. In their obstetrics department, this situation is difficult to prevent and is a fatal danger that can only be faced with every second. Otherwise, she would not have made such a quick decision to have a caesarean section to take the baby out.
However, this decision is not wrong, because no one can say whether the child's playing with the umbilical cord will cause intrauterine distress or even suffocation. Anyway, the baby is already full-term, so it is better to take it out to avoid any further trouble.
"What a shame! I was hoping that even if a C-section was necessary, I'd leave your wife with a nice, concealed scar. But just now, for the sake of visibility and a quick resolution, we had to leave this obvious scar."
Shi Ye told Jiang Zhinian exactly what Director Su said, which made Jiang Zhinian laugh and cry.
She held Shi Ye's fingers back and pretended to be worried: "What should I do? I'm already beginning to envision our chaotic family life in the future."
Shi Ye turned around and looked at the little troublemaker who was sleeping soundly in the cradle, and nodded: "I also expected that every time I want to teach her a lesson in the future, you will be protective of her."
"I won't protect anyone. I'm a teacher, and I know how to educate children best, okay?"
"Really?" Shi Ye asked lightly, but Jiang Zhinian could hear full of disbelief in his words.
"By the way, what about the name you promised me? Have you thought of it yet?"
She still remembered that before she blacked out, Shi Ye kept asking her whether she wanted to take three words or two words. She tried very hard to answer "three words" and then she knew nothing.
Shi Ye's face paled and he turned his head away uncomfortably: "Your IV is almost ready. I'll go call the nurse."
"Isn't there a bed bell at the head of the bed? Just press it." Jiang Zhinian realized, "You haven't thought of a name at all."
With the pride of grabbing Shi Ye's pigtail, he said, "Who said that he never tells lies and will definitely do what he promised?"
Shi Ye smiled helplessly. From the moment Jiang Zhinian entered the operating room to the moment she got off the operating table and returned to the ward, he was in a blank state the entire time, as if his brain had been paused and then cleared. He couldn't think of anything, let alone a name.
But he didn't want to just say something to get by, so he could only touch his nose awkwardly and try to escape.
"I'm going to check the baby's diaper."
Shi Ye stood up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands, then returned to the baby's cradle and changed the diaper gently and skillfully. Jiang Zhinian lay on the bed, tilted her head, and watched Shi Ye lift the baby's legs with a smile.
"Why are you so thin? Like a frog."
A newborn's calves are really not that good-looking; they are thin and curved, with only skin and no flesh. Because they are used to being bent for a long time, the posture does look a bit like a frog with its legs hooked.
"You'll gain weight in two days."
"Ah, Shi Ye, is it time to feed the baby? It's been a while since she was born. I wonder if she's hungry."
She wanted to bring the baby over and feed it herself, but then she remembered what Shi Ye said, that she had just given birth and would not have milk so soon, so she would have to feed the baby with formula.
Jiang Zhinian's eyes wandered around the ward, trying to see where the milk powder and bottles were.
Shi Ye changed the diaper and picked up the baby to coax him.
"Her stomach is very small now, so she won't get hungry that quickly. I asked Zheng Chengfei to go back and get the milk powder. It will take a while."
After Shi Ye skillfully coaxed the child, he was about to bend down and put the child in the cradle, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Jiang Zhinian's eager expression, which looked a bit pitiful and a bit cute, making people feel reluctant to see her lost look.
Shi Ye sighed and straightened up: "If you want, you can take her to sleep for a while."
Jiang Zhinian looked at the child with longing eyes, but was a little hesitant: "Will I crush her?"
The child was too small, only as long as Shi Ye's arm, and looked as thin as a kitten. She was a little afraid.
"It's okay, I'll just be with you for a while. I'll watch over you."
After a newborn is born, it is best for the baby to sleep independently in a cradle. Sleeping with an adult does have the risk of the baby being crushed or the quilt accidentally covering the mouth and nose, but now he just wants the child to accompany Jiang Zhinian and make her happy, so it doesn't matter.
Shi Ye walked to the bed, lifted the corner of Jiang Zhinian's quilt, and then carefully placed the child next to her pillow.
Jiang Zhinian's eyes were full of star-like light: "Shi Ye, she is breathing..."
Before she finished speaking, she realized that her voice was too loud and would wake up the baby, so she quickly closed her mouth and stopped talking, just looking at her and Shi Ye's child with her beautiful eyes.
After all, she had just given birth to a child. After the initial excitement passed, Jiang Zhinian slowly felt sleepy and couldn't help falling asleep.
Shi Ye smiled, put the child back in the cradle, and then gently touched her little face with his fingers.
…
When Zheng Chengfei squeezed into the ward with his bags, what he saw was this warm picture of a family of three.
The mother and baby were sleeping soundly, and Shi Ye was sitting at the head of the bed guarding them. Of course, if Shi Ye was not holding a thesis in his hand, he felt that the picture would be more harmonious.
Zheng Chengfei tiptoed to Shi Ye's side, handed all the things to him, and then said softly: "I have taken everything you asked me to do. Please check if there is anything missing. If there is anything wrong, I will go get it."
Jiang Zhinian's delivery bag had been prepared long ago. It had two models, one for natural birth and one for caesarean section. She could just take it. Shi Ye didn't need to check it, but just nodded: "Thank you, you've worked hard."
Zheng Chengfei had just returned from outside and didn't dare get too close to the child, fearing he might spread germs. He simply scooted closer to the cradle, craning his neck to watch. "It's truly amazing! Shi Ye, you already have a child. Look at those double eyelid folds, that high nose, that small mouth. She's definitely going to be a beautiful girl."
Shi Ye had never looked at the baby so carefully. After hearing what Zheng Chengfei said, he took a glance at it. He didn't see any trace of a beautiful woman in it, but just thought it looked like a monkey.
The nurse came in with the medical records and asked: "Is the mother's family here? We need to take the baby for a heel prick. Please push the baby out."
Zheng Chengfei said tactfully, "You take the baby first. I'll help you watch over here. I'll call the nurse after the IV is finished."
It didn't take long to draw blood from the heel. Shi Ye nodded, looked at Jiang Zhinian again, and pushed the child out.
