Chapter 169: Pregnant woman's cardiac arrest for the first time
"Gu Xing, is there something growing in my brain?"
Ruan Xingmian said in a very light voice, "I mean, bad things."
"Mianmian, no." Gu Xing vehemently denied it.
"Gu Xing, don't hide it from me. You and your sister are not in the right state."
The way you look at me is filled with suppressed tears and desperate pain.
"Is it cancer? But in the original book, Ruan Daya didn't have cancer. She died of heavy bleeding from an induced abortion in June..."
Ruan Xingmian's expression froze, the memories in her mind were of no reference value.
Gu Xing and his sister's reactions were too obvious.
She turned around woodenly, raised her head, and her lower lip trembled slightly. "Can you make it until baby Ruan is full-term?"
Before he finished speaking, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes and slid into his ears.
Sliding into Gu Xing's eyes.
She wiped her tears in panic.
Gu Xing grabbed her hand, suddenly bent his knees, knelt on one knee, and hugged Ruan Xingmian: "Mianmian will be fine, that's just Ruan Daya's destiny code, not yours..."
He repeated a few words that Ruan Xingmian didn't understand.
"Yes, Ruan Daya is dying." Ruan Xingmian choked up and said, taking a deep breath and trying to calm his tone, "I can see her life as clearly as watching a TV drama."
Her words made Gu Xing's hazy eyes clearer and he became firm, "You will be fine."
He wiped away the tears that rolled down her cheeks, but he could not wipe away the bitterness in his heart.
"Mianmian, I love you."
…
The time that followed was both long and short.
After the final exams, Ruan Xingmian moved into the Pingliangshan Sanatorium.
Receive care from a professional medical team.
1:10 am on January 10th.
It's like a sword hanging over your head, stabbing the head of the person who knows the truth.
The first New Year's Eve after returning to the world was spent in a nursing home.
Before checking in, I put on sterile clothes to visit my wife, Wen Xinlan.
Ruan Xingmian glanced at the computer equipment, tears rolled down her cheeks and disappeared into the mask.
She didn't know why, but she could see the countdown of her master's wife's life.
As clear as seeing Ruan Daya.
…
On the fourth day of her stay, Ji Ling moved in with her suitcase and red eyes, determined to stay in the security room even if it meant staying there.
If Xu Zeqing hadn't noticed something unusual and reminded her, she would still be kept in the dark by the Ruan Xingmian sisters.
"What are you doing?! Why are you staying in the hospital?"
Pingliang Mountain is quiet, and the daily routine is normal. Ruan Xingmian can also go to the vegetable garden to weed and hoe the land. His complexion is much rosier.
"It's no big deal. They were overly nervous. I just treated it as a vacation."
Ruan Xingmian cut the cantaloupe and gave it to Ji Ling to eat.
The bedroom on the first floor has a window facing the parasol outside the courtyard.
Gu Xing sat alone in front of the window, and Turing's persuasive voice came from the computer.
"Hurry up and arrange the surgery. Mianmian feels the same way. Gu Xing, it won't be long before Mianmian's soul can no longer drive her body."
Gu Xing remained unmoved, his eyes always following the figure.
"I could see her life slipping away and soon her body was going to have end-of-life symptoms."
"Turing... shut up..."
Suddenly, Ruan Xingmian covered his chest and Gu Xing rushed out.
Everything happened suddenly and naturally. Fate turned into an immovable mountain, pressing down on me without any explanation.
On the seventh day of the countdown, Ruan Xingmian collapsed.
Slept for a full twelve hours.
The family could no longer hide it.
Li Xue took sick leave, and she and Qu Ying supported each other to walk to the bedside.
The bony back of the hand and the cold indwelling needle.
An oxygen mask that obscures your face.
Sobbing silently by the bed, saying goodbye to family with tears streaming down the face.
Ruan Xingmian had just woken up, breathing weakly. He looked at every familiar face beside the bed, with thousands of words in his eyes, but no words came out of his throat.
She wanted to say, can I not die?
Could you please stop crying?
Countdown to day six.
Ruan Xingmian was in a daze, and his eyes were unfocused when he called Gu to wake up.
"Gu Xing, surgery..." She wanted him to perform surgery to take the child away.
At six months old, it can survive in an incubator.
On the fifth day of the countdown, Ruan Xingmian did not wake up all day. In the continuous winter rain, Ruan Ze's crying echoed through the sky of Pingliang Mountain.
On the fourth day of the countdown, Ruan Xingmian opened his eyes early in the morning and said, "Good morning, Gu Xing..."
This was the day when she was most sober. She asked Gu Xing for rice and millet porridge and specifically asked Gu Xing to cook it.
She watched Gu Xing leave the bed.
Holding Ruan Xingyue's hand: "Sister, help me deliver baby Ruan by cesarean section, okay? You will raise her, right..."
She looked up at the ceiling, her vision blurry. She felt like there was someone there, like Gu Xing, who was typing code in the Duxing Building on September 1st. "If only I hadn't gone looking for him..."
Without possession, there is no pain of loss.
Gu Xing was standing at the door holding a bowl of warm porridge when he heard the murmur.
On the third day of the countdown, Ruan Xingmian only woke up for half an hour and gave a brief smile. She held Li Xue and Qu Ying's hands tightly, and mouthed "Mom", but could not utter a word.
As she fell asleep, Qu Ying burst into tears, her vision went dark, and she fainted on the spot.
Li Xue's tears covered her hospital bed.
She had no illness or disease, but she showed signs of dying and all the experts were helpless.
On the second day of the countdown, Ruan Xingmian couldn't open his heavy eyelids.
The sounds of crying, calling, wind and rain outside the window, she felt like she was floating up and falling into darkness.
"Mianmian." It was Ruan Tao's voice.
Are you willing to come?
Are you going to take me away?
"Mianmian." A strange female voice said, "I'm Mom."
Ruan Xingmian couldn't see that gentle face clearly.
"Mianmian, don't sleep." Gu Xing's voice woke her up.
Countdown - twelve hours.
The clouds dispersed, and the warm sun hung in the gray sky.
The light that came down was as soft as cotton, and it only felt a slight itch when it fell on the back of my hand.
Ruan Xingmian sat in a wheelchair, feeling the faint fetal movements.
She was completely immersed in the sun, but she couldn't feel any warmth.
Gu Xing stayed by her side all the time, not feeling sad at all, his eyes looked terrifyingly calm.
"I'm sorry..." Ruan Xingmian was so weak that it took him a breath to say each word. "Can you... forget me... forget Ruan Baobao as soon as possible..."
On the last day of the countdown, she conceded that Gu Xing didn't want Ruan Baobao.
She tried to take off the ring but failed.
Holding her fingers with his big hands, Gu Xing lowered his head and kissed her fingers, and the warm liquid wet her palm.
She could not feel the warmth of the sun, but she could feel the pain in her heart.
"Don't...think...too much..."
"Don't go too far with the baby, I'll be there soon..."
They spoke at the same time.
Ruan Xingmian closed her eyes after she finished speaking, but she could still hear Gu Xing's voice in her ears.
She wanted to open her eyes and tell him not to come and to live well, but she didn't have the strength.
Her breathing went from shallow and slow to deep and fast, then back to shallow and slow, pausing and repeating.
The body temperature gradually drops and the hands and feet become cold.
"The pregnant woman's heart rate dropped, but the fetal heart rate actually increased. The fetus had a strong desire to survive. What decision did the family make?"
Everyone looked at Gu Xing who was standing in front of the bed.
He looked at Ruan Xingyue who was holding his sister's hand.
Ruan Ze and Li Xue were their guardians. Li Xue was sick, and Ruan Ze became hoarse from crying. He squatted in the corner, sobbing and unable to utter a complete sentence.
"I refuse the caesarean section." The moment Gu Xing opened his mouth, Qu Ying burst into tears.
Ruan Xingyue looked at Gu Xing with red eyes, she seemed to have guessed Gu Xing's decision.
“Baby Ruan…” Ji Ling was isolated outside, pounding Xu Zeqing’s chest and crying loudly, “My Mianmian… My baby Ruan…”
"The pregnant woman's heart rate continues to drop, and medication is now being used to rescue her."
…
"Medication is ineffective."
…
Countdown.
10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…
January 10, 2024, 1:10 am.
"The first time a pregnant woman's heart stops beating, the fetal heart rate gradually slows down..."
"Perform CPR..."
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
…
January 10, 2024, 1:11 AM.
"The pregnant woman's heartbeat was successfully restored, and the fetal heart rate is starting to improve..."
