Wen Jun was already feeling annoyed by her constant nagging.
"Mom, the situation is so chaotic right now, so please don't talk about this for now."
"Hey, you silly child, I'm only doing this for your own good, for your own good..."
"mom!"
After being yelled at by Wen Jun, Cao Tongwen reluctantly shut her mouth.
"Alright, alright, why are you yelling at me? I won't say anything more, okay?"
Her eyes still held resentment, clearly indicating that she held all these things against Cheng Wan.
-
Hospital.
The doctors and nurses who received the news were already anxiously waiting at the gate.
They didn't dare to delay for a moment. As soon as the ambulance arrived, they immediately took the patient inside for emergency treatment.
Cheng Xiangling staggered behind, and when she saw the emergency room door close tightly in front of her, she was already crying her eyes out.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't gone out at night, I might have been able to get my sister to the hospital sooner and prevent her from suffering so much."
While in the car, Cheng Wan's condition suddenly worsened, and she vomited large amounts of blood.
With so many instruments and several medical staff present, it almost got out of control.
Fortunately, Shen Zhihuan kept applying acupuncture to Cheng Wan's acupoints to stop the bleeding along the way, which helped her barely make it to the hospital.
Cheng Xiangling originally thought that she must control herself and not cause trouble for everyone, but she really couldn't help it.
Especially just before her sister went in for emergency treatment, she clearly heard Shen Zhihuan talking to the doctor for a long time.
"The patient's initial symptoms were dizziness and a feeling of turbidity in his body. In such cases, the first step should have been to identify the specific illness, but instead, he was rashly given a decoction made with ginseng."
"The patient was weak and had some spotting as her due date approached. Furthermore, the saponins in ginseng affected her blood clotting ability, leading to uncontrollable hemorrhage."
“I was worried that she wouldn’t be able to hold on, so I suggested that we stop the bleeding first and then stabilize her condition through a blood transfusion. We must be extra careful during the surgery.”
Shen Zhihuan clearly possessed medical skills. Since it concerned a life, the doctor dared not neglect her. He remembered what she said, said he would take her advice into consideration, and then hurriedly entered the emergency room.
The two only talked for two or three minutes, but Cheng Xiangling, who was listening from the side, felt her heart sink.
She held Shen Zhihuan's hand and sobbed for a long time before asking her in a tearful voice:
"Sister Zhihuan, is my sister's baby going to die?"
Seeing that the little girl had been running around all night and her eyelids were swollen from crying, Shen Zhihuan couldn't help but wipe away her tears with heartache, unable to speak for a long time.
Although she didn't go into the operating room, she had already gained a basic understanding of Cheng Wan's condition when she took Cheng Wan's pulse earlier.
Cheng Wan's condition is so bad that it would be difficult to save her, let alone the baby in her womb.
In this situation, even a god couldn't save us.
Moreover, medical conditions at that time were far less advanced than in later generations.
All medical staff can do is their best and leave the rest to fate.
As a doctor, Shen Zhihuan could barely bear such a result.
But if we just say it outright, the family members will definitely have an emotional breakdown.
All she could do was hold Cheng Xiangling in her arms and try her best to comfort her with words.
"Don't be afraid, the doctors and nurses will do their best to treat you."
At times like these, saying more will only seem pale and powerless.
Cheng Xiangling buried her face in Shen Zhihuan's shoulder and cried uncontrollably.
“The baby’s clothes and bedding are all ready. I saved up my allowance for a long time to buy him a longevity lock. He hasn’t even met his mother, aunt, or maternal grandparents yet. Nothing can happen to him.”
“My sister’s health has never been very good. She’s only been holding on because of her pregnancy. If anything happens to the baby, she definitely won’t be able to hold on.”
"My sister is only in her early twenties, so young, I really can't live without her..."
Cheng Xiangling's sobbing was truly heartbreaking to hear.
Shen Zhihuan gently patted her back and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
At this moment, Xie Lanshen had also returned after completing the formalities. The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with heavy emotions.
Time ticked by anxiously as we waited.
More than twenty minutes later, Wen Jun and Cao Tongwen finally arrived.
The two didn't rush to inquire about Cheng Wan's condition; Cao Tongwen, on the other hand, kept babbling on and on.
"What kind of lousy hospital did you choose? It's so far from our home, and it's so congested late at night, making us waste our time."
"Anyway, Cheng Wan is in the operating room and won't be out for a while. We don't have anyone to reimburse our travel expenses. We should have known better than to take a taxi here."
Cheng Xiangling nestled in Shen Zhihuan's arms, wiping away her tears. She had been forcibly suppressing her emotions, but upon hearing Cao Tongwen's words, she completely lost control.
She angrily got up and lunged at Wen Jun and Cao Tongwen, shouting that she would beat the two beasts to death on the spot.
"My dear sister married into your family, but she was tormented to the point where she almost lost her life. Is this how you treat her as a husband and mother-in-law!"
"If anything happens to my sister today, I'll risk everything to make you pay with your lives!"
Before Cao Tongwen could react, she almost got slapped in the face by Cheng Xiangling. Startled, she quickly muttered something and dodged backward.
"You little rascal, how come you have such a sharp tongue!"
"Your sister going to the hospital is her own bad luck, what does it have to do with us? You, a junior, dare to lecture me, you have no manners!"
Seeing that Cheng Xiangling looked like she was about to rush up and fight them again, Wen Jun took advantage of his size and immediately grabbed her shoulders tightly.
"That's enough, Cheng Xiangling. Is this how your parents taught you to respect your elders?"
"Stop calling her 'your sister' all the time, acting like you care about her so much. If Cheng Wan wakes up and finds out you talked to my mom like that, she'll scold you to death."
They took advantage of Cheng Wan's parents not being around to bully her, and now that she's in this state, they still dare to say such things!
Cheng Xiangling was so angry that she was trembling all over, but as a young girl, she had no chance against Wen Jun's strength.
Not only did I struggle for a long time without being able to break free, but my shoulders also became sore from being squeezed.
Cao Tongwen was overjoyed. She kept cursing and swearing as she approached, showing off her power the whole time, and almost hit Cheng Xiangling.
However, before she could even feel happy for a second, Wen Jun's hand suddenly hurt terribly!
Shen Zhihuan abruptly shoved her aside.
Wen Jun's expression changed: "You—"
The next second, Xie Lanshen's expression turned cold and stern as he stepped forward and grabbed Wen Jun by the wrists.
He used a standard grappling technique to twist her arms behind her back.
The man then pressed down on Cao Tongwen with his other hand and asked in a deep voice:
"This is a hospital, what do you want!"
His military background gave him an exceptionally strong presence, which startled Wen Jun and Cao Tongwen, who awkwardly lowered their hands and dared not do anything further.
Cao Tongwen was embarrassed. Although she was convinced in her heart, she couldn't help but say a few stubborn words.
