Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

At Ye City’s women and children hospital, He Xiyan’s forehead was full of sweat after she completed her routine examination. She held her fingers tightly, her entire body had tensed up,and her face was as white as a sheet from fright.

She was already 37 weeks pregnant and during her routine examination, there was turbidity detected in her amniotic fluid and she was informed that her fetus was in an environment where it was lacking in oxygen, so the doctor had suggested that she undergo an immediate c-section in 30 minutes, otherwise, her fetus’ health might be affected.

Qin Xiaoyu and Wang Lan who had accompanied her to the hospital quickly supported her since she was so heavily pregnant that she found walking difficult.

“Quick…” He Xiyan found her breath quickening, “Call my husband and tell him to drop everything and rush to the hospital immediately. Be quick…”

He Xiyan urged them. There was still 20 days before she was expected to be due, so she didn’t understand why the examination had suddenly detected turbidity of her amniotic fluid, forcing her to undergo a c-section in advance, dashing her hopes of having a natural birth.

Qin Xiaoyu quickly rushed to find a relatively less crowded area where she could make the call. In addition to informing Ye Hao, she also informed Ye Snr. and his wife, and notified them to rush to the hospital at once.

The child was about to be born earlier than anyone expected.

A gynecologist handed her a copy of an operation consent form. This agreement needed to be signed by both husband and wife but due to the urgency of the operation, she had to be the only to sign it right now.

“Are you sure, Mrs. Ye?” The doctor asked her.

He Xiyan nodded, “Yes, doctor. Please make the arrangements as soon as possible. My husband might not make it here in time before the surgery and I’m aware of the risks, so please hurry.”

Then, she inked her thumbprint and the agreement and followed the doctor to the VIP waiting area at the gynecology ward.

At a large meeting room of the Huayang Building, Ye Hao suddenly put down the documents in his hand after he received a call, his face filled with shock and worry.

He whispered something to the deputy director beside him and rose to his feet abruptly as he said, “The meeting will be chaired by Mr. Lu. Please go ahead with the discussions.”

Then, he rushed out of the meeting hall without any further explanation.

He dug out his car keys and went to the car park to get his car. Then, he drove as fast as he could to the hospital, flouting several traffic rules while doing so.

He heard how anxious Qin Xiaoyu had been earlier. She mentioned that Yan Yan’s routine examination hadn’t gone well and that due to the turbidity of her amniotic fluid, the fetus lacked oxygen and had to be delivered by c-section immediately.

At the hospital, He Xiyan had been wheeled into the operating theatre and the doctors performing the surgery were the best gynecologists in the city.

“Doctors, I… I don’t think anesthesia works on me,” He Xiyan looked at the two doctors who were preparing for surgery in their white scrubs. Her heart raced rapidly. She felt even more anxious than she had been when she had a natural delivery with Yuan Yuan because her baby’s condition was still an unknown variable.

The doctor shot her a comforting smile.

“We know, Mrs. Ye. Don’t worry. We will have other medication that will lessen the pain you’ll feel during the procedure.”

Then, the doctors slipped on their surgical gloves and pulled up her hospital gown to reveal her hugely swollen belly.

“Try to relax. There’s no need to worry,” the doctor said with a smile as he injected her with anesthesia.

He Xiyan nodded but her lips were still pursed tightly and her fingers clutched the sheets awkwardly.

Although she kept trying to tell herself that there was no need to worry and that the surgery would end in around 20 minutes, she couldn’t stop her heart from racing.

“Alright, we’ll begin shortly, Mrs. Ye. If you’re afraid, you may shut your eyes.
