Not long after, Wen Ya led Dr. Xia into the ward. Dr. Xia immediately noticed Qian Duoduo's pale, bloodless face and rushed to examine her. After a thorough examination, Dr. Xia turned to Wen Ya and Jin Jinxiu, her expression grave, and said, "The four babies this pregnant woman is carrying are moving very frequently. In my opinion, a cesarean section would be the safest option."
Upon hearing this, Jin Jinxiu blurted out without hesitation, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get to work!"
Dr. Xia waved her hand and explained solemnly, "Don't rush, sir. This cesarean section is no small matter; it carries certain risks. Therefore, it can only be performed after the patient's legal guardian, who is also her husband and the children's father, has signed and confirmed the procedure."
Upon hearing this, Wen Ya stepped forward without hesitation and loudly declared, "I'll sign!"
Dr. Xia gently shook her head and replied firmly, "Ms. Wen, I'm sorry, you don't have the authority to sign this consent form. After all, you and the patient are only relatives, which doesn't have legal effect."
Jin Jinxiu, who had been silent all along, suddenly took a step forward and shouted loudly without backing down, "I am her own mother, I will sign this!"
Just then, Qian Duoduo, who had been extremely weak, regained some of her strength. She slowly opened her eyes and said weakly, "Mom, I'll sign this myself."
Dr. Xia looked at Qian Duoduo and immediately told her about the cesarean section. Qian Duoduo waved her hand and said, "I was already prepared for a cesarean section when I found out I was pregnant with quadruplets. I understand all of this. Dr. Xia, please bring the documents and I will sign them."
Seeing that Wen Ya and Jin Jinxiu remained silent, Dr. Xia nodded, turned around and went out to get the documents. She returned shortly afterward and, while Qian Duoduo was still in good spirits, had all the notices and instructions signed.
Dr. Xia gripped the documents tightly in her hand and hurried out of the ward to prepare the operating room and other related matters. She had traveled a long way to Shenzhen specifically for this woman pregnant with quadruplets. If the surgery was successful, it would undoubtedly be a significant milestone in her medical career.
Qian Duoduo lay quietly on the hospital bed, her gaze fixed on Wen Ya and Jin Jinxiu standing by the bedside. She managed a weak smile and said softly, "Mom, Mother, why don't you go to the reception room and sit for a while? I want to take a nap."
Upon hearing this, Wen Ya quickly stepped forward, took Qian Duoduo's hand, and asked softly and cautiously, "Duoduo, are you really okay staying here alone? Why don't I stay here with you?"
Qian Duoduo gently shook her head and slowly replied, "No need, Mom. You and Mom can just wait outside. If I feel unwell or need any help, I'll call out to you. Besides, I really need to rest and recuperate now, otherwise I won't have the strength to endure it when I go into the operating room. When I'm wheeled out of the operating room again, I'm afraid I'll have to endure several days of pain." After saying that, she closed her eyes slightly.
After exchanging a glance with Jin Jinxiu, Wenya tiptoed carefully, as if afraid of waking Qian Duoduo, and slowly walked out of the room. Their movements were as gentle as a breeze across a lake, trying not to make a sound.
In the reception room, they exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing an undisguised excitement and anticipation. However, in contrast, a clear sense of worry lurked deep within Jin Jinxiu's eyes.
At this moment, Qian Duoduo, lying on the hospital bed, realized she was alone in the room. She turned her head slightly to make sure no one was around, then quickly reached into her personal storage space and took out a health-preserving pill that emitted a faint fragrance. The pill was round and smooth, like a pearl, shimmering with a mysterious luster in the dim light.
Without hesitation, Qian Duoduo put the health-preserving pill into her mouth and gently closed it. As the pill went down her throat, a warm power instantly spread throughout her body. Whether it was because the powerful effects of the pill itself were starting to take hold, or because the children in her womb sensed the medicinal power and absorbed its essence, the previously restless little ones gradually calmed down.
About forty minutes later, a soft sound of footsteps approached. Then, Dr. Xia appeared at the door of the reception room. Her face showed some fatigue, but her expression was exceptionally focused. Seeing Jin Jinxiu and Wen Ya sitting quietly waiting, Dr. Xia smiled slightly and said, "The operating room is ready."
Upon hearing this, Jin Jinxiu was as if struck by lightning, instantly jumping up from her seat, leaning forward, her eyes wide, and asking anxiously, "So what preparations do we need to make now?"
Dr. Xia said with a smile, "The pregnant woman is still resting. Let's see if we can go to the surgery area together."
Qian Xiang and Qian Gui hurriedly pushed open the door and entered. When they caught sight of the doctor inside, their hurried steps slowed immediately. They carefully walked to a chair and sat down quietly. At that moment, they listened intently to every word and every instruction the doctor would give.
Wen Ya gently pushed open the door to the inner ward and quietly went inside. Jin Jinxiu, following Dr. Xia's instructions, began preparing the things they had brought to the hospital. Dr. Xia nodded, feeling that everything was quite complete. Qian Gui quickly reached out and steadily took the things from Jin Jinxiu's hands, then followed closely behind Qian Duoduo, who had already stepped out of the room.
This series of movements was fluid and seamless, even surprising Dr. Xia standing nearby. Just a short while ago, Qian Duoduo was in so much pain from severe contractions that she couldn't even get out of bed. Yet now, this resilient pregnant woman cleverly used a large cloth bag to firmly support her large, protruding belly, as if this could alleviate some of the pain. Seeing this, even the experienced Dr. Xia couldn't help but admire her: this pregnant woman was not only brave and resilient, but also quite decisive—truly admirable!
