Chapter 611: Don’t Even Think About Abducting The Child
What?
Qi Xiwei held onto Huo Jinyao’s arm tightly. Her face was already covered in sweat. “I’m going to give birth. What should I do? I’m going to give birth.”
Huo Jinyao glanced at her. There was already blood flowing out from under her body. He was shocked and quickly picked her up.
“Don’t worry, I’ll send you to the hospital right now.”
Qi Xiwei’s expression was extremely unsightly. Her stomach was in pain. At this moment, she had no strength left and could only let Huo Jinyao carry her.
Huo Jinyao carried her and was about to walk out when the man stood in front of Huo Jinyao.
“Are you really going to give birth?” The due date hadn’t arrived yet and it was already a month in advance. Could this woman be using this opportunity to escape?
“Put her down.” The man glared at Qi Xiwei. “Don’t even think about abducting my child. Don’t even think about it.”
Qi Xiwei’s face was pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat. She didn’t even look at the man and reached out to grab the front of Huo Jinyao’s s.h.i.+rt.
“Jinyao, let’s go. I don’t want to see him.”
Huo Jinyao ignored the man and was about to walk out. The man blocked their way.
“You want to leave? Leave the child behind first.”
He was crazy. It was already such a time, yet this man was still causing trouble.
“Get out of my way.”
The man looked at Qi Xiwei and said, “I won’t let you. Put her down first.”
“Lian Jin, get lost. I don’t want to see you.”
Qi Xiwei was already exhausted, but she couldn’t help but speak when she heard the man’s words.
“You don’t want to see me, but you want to see him, right? I was wondering why you were in such a hurry to return to the country. What? You’re back to see your old lover, right? Do you think I’ll let you have your way? Don’t even think about it.”
The man called Lian Jin blocked in front of the two of them and glared at Qi Xiwei. “Come with me. I’ll send you to the hospital.”
“I don’t want your hypocritical kindness.” Qi Xiwei’s voice was very weak, but she wasn’t willing to give in. “Who knows if you’ll kill me halfway there?”
Lian Jin’s expression was ugly. Qi Xiwei didn’t want to be involved with him anymore. She grabbed onto Huo Jinyao. “Jinyao, make him go away. I don’t want to see him.”
She was about to give birth. Huo Jinyao looked at her and felt anxious. Without thinking, he raised his leg and kicked Lian Jin.
Lian Jin didn’t expect Huo Jinyao to make such a move, and he dodged to the side. Huo Jinyao was afraid that Lian Jin would chase after him again, so he gave him another kick.
Lian Jin didn’t dodge the kick this time and was. .h.i.t by Huo Jinyao’s kick.
His body fell backward and hit the coffee table. He was in pain and didn’t stand up for a moment.
Huo Jinyao used this time to quickly run towards the door with Qi Xiwei in his arms. He was very worried and anxious.
However, Lian Jin didn’t want to let it go just like that. He quickly propped himself up and ran behind Huo Jinyao to grab his arm.
Huo Jinyao held Qi Xiwei in his arms and almost fell to the ground. He was furious and turned around.
“What are you trying to do?”
“She’s my wife. Put her down.”
Qi Xiwei was in so much pain that she was about to speak. Her stomach was in so much pain that it felt like it was being pulled up again and again.
Upon seeing this, Huo Jinyao knew that she couldn’t afford to delay any longer.
“Get out of my way. Can’t you see that she’s giving birth right now? She needs to be sent to the hospital.”
“If she needs to be sent to the hospital, naturally I’ll send her. It’s not up to an outsider like you to pretend,” Lian Jin sneered. “Or is she carrying your child?”
This person was full of nonsense, and Huo Jinyao didn’t want to tolerate it. However, Qi Xiwei’s situation was the priority.
“Are you going to let me go? If you’re not going to let me go, I won’t hold back anymore.”
“I’d like to see how you’re not going to hold back.”
After saying that, Lian Jin was about to s.n.a.t.c.h her away. Qi Xiwei was already in great pain, but she absolutely didn’t want Lian Jin to touch her.
She looked at Huo Jinyao and begged, “Jinyao, I’m begging you, don’t hand me over to him.”
Her relations.h.i.+p with Lian Jin had reached the point where they couldn’t tolerate each other. She really couldn’t trust him.
Instead, she believed that Lian Jin would most likely kill her quietly.
“You still say that you have no love affair with him?” Lian Jin’s face was full of anger. He took a step forward and was about to attack Qi Xiwei.
Huo Jinyao took a big step back. Upon seeing that Qi Xiwei’s breathing had become rapid, he gritted his teeth and turned to place her on the sofa by the side.
“Xiwei, wait a moment.”
He turned to look at Lian Jin. He originally wanted him to give up voluntarily. But now, he could only be violent.
On the other side, Qi Xiwei’s situation was getting more and more urgent. Huo Jinyao didn’t intend to delay any longer.
“What? You want to fight me?”
Huo Jinyao didn’t waste time with him and directly punched Lian Jin in the face. Lian Jin dodged quickly, but he didn’t know that this was Huo Jinyao’s feint.
He punched Lian Jin in the stomach, and Lian Jin was knocked back a few steps by him.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d.” He was annoyed and rushed towards Huo Jinyao to attack.
But how could he be a match for Huo Jinyao? Huo Jinyao had been trained in the army.
Other than Zhang Yichen, who had received special training so Huo Jinyao was no match against, Huo Jinyao could easily take on more people like Lian Jin.
In less than five minutes, Huo Jinyao had already beaten Lian Jin to the ground.
After finis.h.i.+ng him off, he quickly carried Qi Xiwei and ran outside to get into his car. By the time Lian Jin recovered from the pain and chased after them, Huo Jinyao had already left with Qi Xiwei.
Her whole body completely curled up, Qi Xiwei was in the backseat of the car. She looked very in pain. Her entire body was starting to sweat and her face was pale.
Huo Jinyao saw her condition from the rearview mirror and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. He could only be thankful that this place wasn’t too far from the city.
They practically traveled at lightning speed and he brought Qi Xiwei to Su Qingsang’s first hospital in the shortest amount of time.
Su Qingsang happened to have an outpatient clinic today. There was a woman who thought that there was something wrong with her because she hadn’t been pregnant in the five years she was married.
Su Qingsang told her that she was in good health and there was nothing wrong with her.
“It might be because of you or your husband. If you want to know why you haven’t had a child, you should ask your husband to come for a check-up.”
The woman looked conflicted and told Su Qingsang hesitantly that her husband was a male chauvinist. She was afraid that he wouldn’t be willing to come for a check-up.
Su Qingsang had been in the hospital for a long time and had come into contact with all kinds of patients. She could only tell her own opinion. As for what he would do, that was up to him.
It wasn’t easy to settle things here. Just as she was about to rest, the office door was pushed open with a bang. Su Qingsang was shocked. She looked up and saw Huo Jinyao standing at the door with a woman in his arms.
The woman was pregnant, and there was blood under her body. Huo Jinyao’s body was also stained with the woman’s blood.
“Qingsang, save her, quick.”
Su Qingsang looked at the woman in his arms. The woman had already lost consciousness and fainted. There was no time for her to think about the relations.h.i.+p between this woman and Huo Jinyao.
“Put her down.” Su Qingsang performed a preliminary examination for her. With a serious expression, she said, “The pregnant woman’s condition isn’t very good. Her amniotic fluid has broken, but her uterus hasn’t opened yet, and ahe has fainted. I’m afraid that she will need to undergo a cesarean section in her current condition.”
“I believe you. No matter what, you must ensure her safety.”
Su Qingsang glanced at Huo Jinyao. She didn”t expect that one day, Huo Jinyao would make the same mistake as those ordinary family members. He actually made her promise?
Su Qingsang called for someone to push Qi Xiwei into the operating room. She called the operating room and asked them to quickly make arrangements for her to prepare for the surgery.
After hanging up the phone, she turned to face Huo Jinyao.
“I’m sorry. I can’t promise anything. I can only say that I’ll try my best.”
Doctors weren’t G.o.ds. Qi Xiwei’s condition wasn’t very good to begin with, so she could only do her best and leave the rest to fate.
Huo Jinyao nodded. “I believe in you.”
“If it’s possible, let her family come over.”
Huo Jinyao frowned. “Her family isn’t here.”
After Qi Xiwei’s stepmother was sent to prison, Qi Xiwei’s father was also demoted from his original position as president.
Lian Jin was obviously a jerk. There was no way Huo Jinyao would call him over.
“If there’s anything I can do, I’ll go.”
Su Qingsang blinked her eyes and gestured for Huo Jinyao to pay the fees. Then, she signed the papers and prepared for the surgery.
“Okay, I’ll go now.”
Huo Jinyao said this and rushed to the payment counter.
Su Qingsang glanced at his back and went to prepare for the surgery without saying a word.
Qi Xiwei’s condition was actually very bad, but she couldn’t tell Huo Jinyao about it. She was supposed to discuss these issues with her immediate family, but Qi Xiwei didn’t have any immediate family.
Sun Huiya didn’t have an operation or debate today, so Su Qingsang called her over.
“This situation isn’t very good,” Sun Huiya said bluntly. “The uterus hasn’t been opened, and the amniotic fluid has been broken for so long. Let’s start the operation right away. I hope the child is okay.”
Su Qingsang wanted to say the same thing just now. After she changed into the surgical gown with Sun Huiya, they entered the operating room together.
Although this kind of surgery was difficult, Sun Huiya had always advocated for more opportunities for young people to exercise, so Su Qingsang was still the chief surgeon.
Qi Xiwei was already unconscious on the operating table. She was afraid that she would wake up from the pain later, so Su Qingsang still had the anesthesiologist put her under anesthesia.
She picked up the scalpel and gently cut open Qi Xiwei’s first layer of skin.
Everything was smooth and normal. However, when the child was carried out, everyone’s heart skipped a beat.
The child was very small, very small, and his body had turned green. His small face had turned purple-red. The midwife examined the baby and shook her head at Su Qingsang and Sun Huiya.
“There are no more vital signs.”
Everyone’s mood was heavy. In the obstetrics and gynecology department, they were used to seeing life or death situations. However, the situation in front of them was something they didn’t want to face but still had to face.
“Try and see if you can save him.” Su Qingsang glanced at the midwife and gestured for her to try harder.
She continued to move her hands. The midwife tried her best, but she soon shook her head at the crowd.
“This…” Sun Huiya looked at the child and then at Su Qingsang. She was calm. She had already guessed this result.
When she examined Qi Xiwei, she didn’t hear the baby move. Now, it only confirmed her guess.
Qi Xiwei’s health was too poor. It was already much more difficult for her to conceive this child than normal pregnant women.
The amniotic fluid broke too early, and the uterine orifice didn’t open for a long time. The child had been trapped in there for so long, so the chances of survival weren’t high to begin with.
Recalling what Huo Jinyao had said just now, Su Qingsang came back to her senses and looked at Qi Xiwei, who was still unconscious.
“Continue the operation. At the very least, we have to preserve the life of the pregnant woman.”
Actually, Qi Xiwei’s condition wasn’t very good either. However, Su Qingsang and Sun Huiya were willing to do their best to save her.
In the following period of time, Su Qingsang and Sun Huiya worked together to save Qi Xiwei, who was on the verge of death.
Qi Xiwei’s health was very poor, especially her uterus. Her body wasn’t suitable for pregnancy at all. The child was born with a congenital defect, and her amniotic fluid broke first today. As a result, it was indeed difficult to keep the child.
Although her life was saved now, it would be difficult for her to have a child of her own in the future.
Su Qingsang and Sun Huiya were both very experienced doctors, especially Sun Huiya. She saw Qi Xiwei’s condition in her uterus and knew that the chances of her getting pregnant again in the future were almost zero.
“This child is her first child, right?”
“It should be.” Su Qingsang nodded. She looked at Qi Xiwei’s pale face and frowned. It was her first pregnancy, but the situation was like this now. It would probably be hard for her to accept this fact after she woke up, wouldn’t it?
Su Qingsang st.i.tched up Qi Xiwei’s incision, and someone else took over the rest. She took a look at Qi Xiwei and left the operating room.
Huo Jinyao was still waiting outside. It had been almost three hours since she first entered the operating room.
He stood up quickly when he saw Su Qingsang.
“How is she? How is she?”
“She’s fine.”
Huo Jinyao was visibly relieved. “It’s good that she’s fine.”
Su Qingsang looked at him and hesitated to speak. Huo Jinyao noticed that something was amiss.
“She’s fine now, but where’s the child?”
Su Qingsang didn’t speak. Her expression spoke volumes. Huo Jinyao had a bad feeling about this.
“Is her child okay? It should be fine, right?”
Su Qingsang shook her head gently. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t save the child.”
Huo Jinyao suddenly stopped moving. He thought of how Qi Xiwei was extremely concerned about the child, and he also thought of how Qi Xiwei wanted to give birth to the child and start a new life.
After she came back, she was obviously very weak, but she risked her weak body to help him again and again, not to mention that she had saved his life before.
He hoped that Qi Xiwei could safely and successfully give birth to the child.
Upon seeing that Huo Jinyao had fallen into silence, Su Qingsang took off her mask and spoke in a low voice.
“In fact, when you brought her here, it was already too late. Coupled with her physical condition, it already wasn’t easy to keep the child.”
Su Qingsang had already examined the child. It wasn’t that she had jinxed it. The stillborn baby was much smaller than a normal baby.
He was born with a congenital defect, and he didn’t receive proper care or nutrition from his mother. Even if he was born, it would be difficult for him to grow up successfully.
When that time came, it would be either a disease or an accident. It would also be difficult for his parents.
Huo Jinyao knew that what she said was true. After all, when Qi Xiwei was pregnant, her situation looked different from that of a normal pregnant woman.
“What about her? How is she?”
“Her life is saved.” Su Qingsang wouldn’t hide anything from him. “However, she probably won’t have another child of her own in the future.”
“What did you say?”
Huo Jinyao finally had a different reaction. He stared at Su Qingsang with his eyes wide open. For a moment, he thought he had heard wrong. “How did this happen?”
“Her body is very weak, abnormally weak. Her uterus was once severely injured. Although it has recovered, the injury is still there. She forced herself to become pregnant and increased the burden on her body.”
“In addition, her uterus wasn’t healthy enough for her to safely give birth to this child. With this incident, the chances of her having another child in the future are almost zero.”
Huo Jinyao stood there without knowing what to say to Qi Xiwei when she woke up and found out about the news.
“If you find it difficult, let me talk to her.”
Su Qingsang’s words made Huo Jinyao look up at her. He shook his head and said, “Let me tell her.”
He had already made up his mind, and Su Qingsang didn’t intend to ask anymore. However, she asked, “Is she the girl you mentioned last time?”
“Yes.” Huo Jinyao was afraid that Su Qingsang would misunderstand, so he explained briefly, “I met her in the United States. Although we were cla.s.smates, we weren’t actually in the same cla.s.s. However, since we were both from Rong City, naturally we became closer. One of the reasons I was so concerned about her was that she no longer had any other relatives in Rong City to take care of her. The other reason is that she once saved my life.”
Huo Jinyao briefly explained what happened that year. He looked at Su Qingsang in all seriousness and said, “Qi Xiwei and I were just friends and cla.s.smates. There’s nothing else between us. Don’t think too much about it.”
Su Qingsang tilted her head and looked at Huo Jinyao because of his words. His expression was extremely serious, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand.
“You know what I’m thinking? Don’t worry, I’m not that jealous.”
It was good that she didn’t misunderstand. Huo Jinyao reached out to pull her hand. “I know you won’t be so petty, but I still feel that I need to explain it to you.”
“I believe you, okay?” Su Qingsang looked at the time. She still had an outpatient clinic later. “I still have an outpatient clinic. This cla.s.smate of yours will be sent to the ward later. Regarding her child and her future physical condition, you can decide for yourself what to say. If you feel that it’s inappropriate to speak, I can go and explain it to her.”
“Okay.”Huo Jinyao looked at her focused and serious expression and leaned over to kiss her forehead. “Thank you, honey. You’ve worked hard.”
Glib-tongued rascal. Su Qingsang glanced at him. “That’s enough. You Don’t have to say anything nice. Go and see her quickly. She’ll probably wake up from the anesthesia soon. I still have an outpatient clinic. I’ll come back later.”
“Okay.”
Su Qingsang was about to leave when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. “Oh right, get a female nurse to take care of her. You’re a grown man. It’s not that convenient for you.”
Su Qingsang turned her head away from Huo Jinyao’s teasing gaze.
“To say the least, you have a wife after all, so you should be mindful of your influence.”
The corners of Huo Jinyao’s lips curled up, and he moved his face closer to Su Qingsang.
“Jealous?” She said she wasn’t jealous moments before, but now, she even told him to be mindful of his influence.
“What’s so funny about me being jealous? If I don’t feel jealous anymore one day, then you should be crying.”
Her playful voice made Huo Jinyao’s gloomy mood much better.
“Honey, did I ever tell you that you look especially cute when you’re jealous?”
Su Qingsang rolled her eyes at him and didn’t say anything more. She turned around and left.
After she left, Huo Jinyao’s expression immediately turned grave.
Ten minutes later, he appeared in Qi Xiwei’s ward. Her complexion was much worst than when she was firstsent to the hospital.
After a cesarean section, a pregnant woman’s stomach wouldn’t disappear immediately. At that moment, Qi Xiwei looked as if she was still pregnant.
She was just lying there. If not for the fact that she was still breathing, Huo Jinyao would have suspected that she had died just like that.
Qi Xiwei’s body was very weak. She slept until nightfall before she woke up.
After she woke up, she was in poor health and she appeared very weak.
Huo Jinyao had already asked Yang Wenchang to send some important business matters over. When he saw that Qi Xiwei had woken up, he immediately went forward and sat by her bed.
“Xiwei, how are you feeling? Are you feeling okay? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?”
Qi Xiwei blinked her eyes and took a long time to recover. After she recovered, she suddenly looked at Huo Jinyao.
“Where’s my child? Where’s my child? How is it? Is it a boy or a girl?”
Her voice became even more hoa.r.s.e after the surgery. It felt uncomfortable and dry. But now, she couldn’t care less about that. She just wanted to know how her child was doing.
When she was in the United States, she couldn’t tell if it was a boy or a girl because it was too early. After she returned to China, the doctors wouldn’t tell her the gender of the child.
She had always wanted to have a daughter. Now, she could feel that the child was no longer in her belly. It must have been born.
“Where’s the child?”
The antic.i.p.ation in her eyes was too obvious, and Huo Jinyao didn’t know how to start for a moment.
“It’s a boy.” Su Qingsang had come once before, and Huo Jinyao finally had the time to ask if Qi Xiwei had a boy or a girl.
When he thought of the child, he still felt some lingering regret. The child was so young, but it was a pity that he was no longer there.
“A boy?” Qi Xiwei was a little disappointed, but it was only for a moment. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy. Where is the child now? Can I see him? Can I hug him?”
“Xiwei, your due date isn’t today, you should know, right?”
“I know.” Qi Xiwei’s voice was very weak, but it couldn’t hide her eagerness to see the child. “I know it was born prematurely, the child should be in the incubator now, right? Can I go and see him?”
