It was a bleak autumn night.
Jing Se suddenly experienced severe abdominal pain, as she was approaching her due date. Both she and Wei Meng's mother were well-prepared, and Jing Se was immediately taken to the hospital.
The best doctor, the best midwife, the best medicine—everything should have gone smoothly.
However, the reason why an accident is called an accident is that it will not be avoided even if you are well prepared.
The worst-case scenario occurred: during childbirth, amniotic fluid embolism occurred, causing excessive amniotic fluid to enter the bloodstream, preventing the blood from clotting and resulting in massive bleeding. This situation occurs suddenly during childbirth and is unpredictable and unpredictable.
Thus, Wei Meng's parents faced a difficult question: save the mother or the child.
Is there any need to hesitate?
Of course, we should save the baby.
Wei Meng's mother knew just how good her son was to Jing Se; Jing Se was practically her son's life.
But then, the old lady arrived.
She leaned on her crutches, her steps faltering, and stayed at the hospital even late at night.
The old woman firmly uttered two words: "Save the child!"
Wei Meng's mother was stunned. She knew that the old lady was feudal. Ever since she married into the Wei family, the old lady had often nagged her about why she only gave birth to a son, implying that she was infertile.
She had suffered countless hardships in the past, but Jingse's future was at stake, and she couldn't let the old lady ruin her son's happiness. She spoke with difficulty.
"Mom, the baby hasn't been born yet. Jingse is like a daughter to me. We can have another baby, but we only have one Jingse."
Under the old woman's formidable authority, she spoke these words with difficulty. The old woman only returned a sharp look: "Giving birth to one child is this difficult, how many can you expect her to have? Which mother doesn't live for her child? What's the point of her living if the child is gone?"
Living for the sake of the children?
Wei Meng's mother fell silent. She and the old lady had spent almost their entire lives for their children, or more precisely, for their son.
The old lady already knew through acquaintances at the hospital that Jing Se was carrying a boy. Because it was a boy, Jing Se could give up the pregnancy. If it were a girl, perhaps this choice wouldn't exist.
Even so, she couldn't give up on Jingse. For her son's sake, she had to protect Jingse.
"Mom, Ameng values Jingse so much. If Jingse is gone, Weimeng will be heartbroken. We must save Jingse no matter what. Doctor, save the baby!"
The old lady shouted sternly, "This is outrageous! This is outrageous! Who's in charge of this household, you or me?"
"Mom, I used to always do what you said, but I can't listen to you this time."
The old woman stood up shakily, raised her hand and slapped him across the face, her cane thumping loudly on the floor.
"If you really care about Amon, then save the baby. We could go to war at any time. If something happens to Amon on the battlefield, the Wei family line will end. If you had been capable of having more children back then, I would have been a good person and chosen to save the mother today. But you don't have that ability, so don't even think about being a good person. Today, I'm going to be the bad guy and save the baby!"
Wei Meng's mother was struck as if by a heavy blow; it felt as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out.
The military dependents understand the true state of affairs between the two countries better than ordinary people outside; war could break out at any time, and going to the battlefield is not impossible.
"There can be no accident involving Amon."
"Hmph!" A sarcastic smile appeared on the old woman's withered face. "I never thought that Amon's grandfather would die on the battlefield. And what happened? Don't think that everything is peaceful just because you're living in wealth and luxury now. Let me tell you, it's not time yet. Only when you're buried will it truly be peaceful."
