Chapter 59 Shen Qingshu, shouldn't you give me an explanation?
Clang!
The scalpel fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The anesthesiologist abruptly stopped in his motion to administer the medication!
Director Jiang frowned and looked at the assistant, "What's wrong with you?"
Ichisuke looked innocent, "It wasn't me, this..."
The anesthesiologist suddenly pulled out the needle. "It's an earthquake!"
Shen Qingshu suddenly opened her eyes—
The surgical lights above her head flickered on and off, and she felt a little dizzy. The operating table beneath her was shaking!
The next instant, alarms blared throughout the entire hospital!
"Surgery paused! Evacuate immediately through the emergency exit—"
Shen Qingshu was completely dazed and was helped off the operating table by Qiao Xingjia and the anesthesiologist.
The operating room door opened, and the entire corridor was filled with patients and medical staff, creating a chaotic scene.
When Wen Jingxi saw them come out, he hurriedly went forward.
"How did it go? Was the surgery done?"
"Let's go outside first!" Qiao Xingjia said, supporting Shen Qingshu.
Wen Jingxi nodded, his tall frame protecting them as they walked towards the safety exit...
Fortunately, the earthquake stopped quickly.
At this time, the safety passages and corridors were crowded with people.
Although the earthquake has stopped, everyone is still shaken, fearing that there may be aftershocks.
At that moment, the hospital alarms stopped.
A few seconds later, a gentle female voice came over the loudspeaker: "The Earthquake Bureau has just released the latest news: a 5.1 magnitude earthquake occurred in the city at 10:45 a.m.... The earthquake emergency has been lifted. Medical staff, please escort patients back to their wards in an orderly manner and check for any injuries..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Medical staff began escorting patients back home.
"Ah Shu, how are you?" Qiao Xingjia asked Shen Qingshu with concern.
Shen Qingshu shook her head. "I'm fine."
"Luckily, I hadn't administered the anesthesia yet, otherwise, in this situation, we would have had to carry you to safety." Director Zhang paused, then added, "In all my years as a doctor, this is the first time I've encountered an earthquake during surgery."
"Earthquakes in Beicheng are rare, and this is the first time I, a native of Beicheng, have experienced such a strong tremor."
Director Jiang glanced thoughtfully at Shen Qingshu's stomach as she spoke, "In short, even if we have to continue the surgery, everyone's disinfection procedures will have to be redone. Ms. Shen, please go back to your ward and wait."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu lowered her eyes and placed her hand on her lower abdomen.
Qiao Xingjia and Wen Jingxi exchanged a glance, both seeing unspoken words in each other's eyes.
I want to advise them, but I don't dare to!
After all, if the child stays, Shen Qingshu will face many responsibilities that she cannot give up.
Being a single mother is never easy.
Therefore, Qiao Xingjia and Wen Jingxi didn't say anything in the end and accompanied Shen Qingshu back to her ward first.
Just as she arrived outside the ward, a nurse from the next ward rushed out. Upon seeing Qiao Xingjia, she hurriedly said, "Dr. Qiao, the incision of the woman in bed 38 has reopened and she's bleeding quite a bit. Dr. Wang can't leave her postpartum care center. Could you come in and take a look at her?"
Qiao Xingjia released Shen Qingshu and strode into the ward.
Shen Qingshu stood at the door. From her angle, she could see that the woman in labor on the hospital bed was deathly pale, and there was a crib next to the bed.
The newborn in the crib is sleeping soundly.
After examining the wound, Qiao Xingjia's expression turned grave: "It needs to be stitched up again. How could it have torn so badly?"
The nurse sighed and said, "Her mother-in-law ran away right after the earthquake, abandoning her and her newborn daughter. She carried the baby to escape, and that's when her wound reopened!"
"This mother-in-law is toxic!" Qiao Xingjia looked at the woman who was crying uncontrollably and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'll give you local anesthesia when I stitch you up again..."
"I want to breastfeed," the new mother asked between sobs, "Will local anesthesia affect my breast milk?"
The new mother was in excruciating pain, yet she was still worried about whether her newborn daughter had enough milk. Qiao Xingjia was deeply moved by this great maternal love.
She smiled slightly and reassured her, "Don't worry, breastfeeding can be done under local anesthesia."
Upon hearing this, the new mother finally felt relieved.
Shen Qingshu stood at the door, looking at the woman in labor on the hospital bed, the deathly stillness in her eyes gradually fading.
She turned and walked into her hospital room.
Wen Jingxi was somewhat puzzled when he saw her pick up her clothes and walk towards the bathroom.
What are you doing?
Shen Qingshu paused, turned around, looked at Wen Jingxi, and smiled faintly: "Change your clothes and get discharged."
Wen Jingxi was stunned, her beautiful peach blossom eyes widening, "You, you mean you..."
Shen Qingshu smiled, her voice soft yet firm, "I've decided not to have the surgery."
"No, you're not doing it anymore?" Wen Jingxi was surprised, but at the same time happy for her. "Really not doing it anymore?"
“Hmm,” Shen Qingshu said, “I have been giving up on them ever since I knew they existed. Including today, three surgeries have failed. Everyone is saying that it is very rare for a city like Beicheng to have a sudden earthquake. I think maybe they really like me as their mother, so even God is helping them.”
There are many things in this world that science cannot explain.
Wen Jingxi didn't believe in any metaphysics. At this moment, the only thing he was certain of was that these two children would become Shen Qingshu's pillar of support and heal her heart, which was being increasingly eroded by loneliness.
Her life will become more vibrant because of these two children.
Perhaps this is the meaning of life!
"I will give birth to them. They are my children alone and have nothing to do with Fu Siyan."
Shen Qingshu touched her belly, "But I'm also worried that if Fu Siyan finds out about the child, he might try to take the child from me. So, I'll have to trouble you to cover for me."
"What's the problem with that!" Wen Jingxi looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "I'm the child's godfather! With me as their godfather protecting them, that scumbag father of theirs won't be able to take the child away from you!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu felt relieved and turned to enter the bathroom.
When she came out after changing her clothes, Qiao Xingjia had already finished her work and returned.
Wen Jingxi has already told Qiao Xingjia about Shen Qingshu's decision to keep the child.
Qiao Xingjia was naturally delighted. She took Shen Qingshu's hand and said, "Now that we have a godfather, does that mean I, as the godmother, should also be given a title?"
“Of course you’re the child’s godmother.” Shen Qingshu held Qiao Xingjia’s hand. “Xingxing, thank you for taking care of me all this time. You must have been very tired.”
Qiao Xingjia saw that her overall spirits had improved significantly, and she finally felt relieved.
“Sisters don’t need to say such polite things!” Qiao Xingjia said with a smile, “Come on, I’ll get you some folic acid and vitamins for pregnant women.”
…
Qiao Xingjia prescribed the medicine and asked Wen Jingxi to take Shen Qingshu to the pharmacy to pick it up, as she still had to work her shift.
After leaving the clinic, Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi walked side by side toward the pharmacy.
Suddenly, a commotion came from the emergency room behind them—the sound of medical instruments colliding and falling to the ground, followed by Qin Yancheng's angry roar—
"Fu Siyan, are you out of your mind?! Why are you running?!"
Shen Qingshu frowned, and before she could react, she heard footsteps behind her.
The next second, my wrist was gripped tightly by a large, cold hand—
Shen Qingshu frowned, turned around, and was stunned when she saw the man's appearance!
Blood trickled down his forehead, its crimson color contrasting sharply with the man's deathly pale face.
Having known Fu Siyan for so many years, this was the first time Shen Qingshu had ever seen him so disheveled...
The man stared intently at her, his eyes reddening at the corners, his pupils dark and sharp, as if trying to see right through her.
Shen Qingshu felt a tingling sensation on her scalp, and all the nerves in her body tensed up instantly!
"Fu Siyan, what's wrong with you? Let me go!"
Shen Qingshu struggled to pull her hand away, but Fu Siyan's strength was astonishing, and she couldn't break free at all.
"Am I going crazy?"
Fu Siyan let out a cold snort. He was badly injured, his breathing rapid and heavy. He gritted his teeth and questioned her, "Chen Qingshu, you were pregnant with my child and you kept it from me! Don't you owe me an explanation?"
