Pei Xi was not pushed out, and the surgery was not over. Only the doctor came out.
Bill surrounded him almost instantly.
Pei Song, Wang Yi, Anna, and a few others followed behind.
The attending doctor only nodded at them quickly and looked at Pei Huai, who had just come out of the cubicle.
“Mr. Pei,” he said quickly but clearly. There were beads of cold sweat on his forehead. “We have tried our best, but..
“Tell me the result.” Pei Huai’s jaw was tensed, and he spoke in an unreadable tone.
The attending doctor said, “it’s an acute dystocia that has increased the bleeding. The situation is very dangerous now. We need to induce labor immediately. Please discuss it quickly with the family members. If only one can be saved..
“W-what?” Pei Qingshen’s ears buzzed and he staggered back.
In the distance, the original owner’s hands and feet instantly turned cold.
Cao Zhuzhu said, “doctor, the mother is now more than seven months pregnant. The baby should be…”
Pei Song pinched her palm and did not let her finish. At the same time, he explained to her in a low voice, “this kind of induced labor is different from a normal caesarian section. ‘l’ne rlSK or tne surgery IS very mgn..
Acute dystocia and increased bleeding caused by taking blood-circulation medicine was completely different from a caesarian section for a full-term pregnant woman under normal health conditions.
Not to mention that Pei Xi was an older woman.
The attending doctor looked at Pei Huai, but Pei Huai left the choice to Bill.
Strangely enough, Bill’s Mandarin was still very poor even after staying in China for more than half a year. Usually, he would not understand many things that others said if they spoke faster. However, he understood everything that the doctor said just now…
“There’s no option.” The sexy male star’s thin lips parted slightly. He paused, and his tone was filled with great sadness. “Save the mother…” He looked at the doctor and repeated, “can you save her?”
Everyone turned to look at him.
Anna covered her mouth.
Tears kept flowing out of her eyes.
Pei Qingsheng’s heart ached. “Bill…”
Bill looked determined, but the tendons on the back of his hand were bulging.
Just looking at the storage rooms of the Pei family, one could tell how much he cared about this child.
The baby’s appearance on the ultrasound became clearer and clearer. They had been looking forward to it for more than seven months.
A happy family of three.
What pain must he suffer to convince himself to say such words so calmly?
How painful that must be…
The attending doctor’s tone was heavy. The assistant had already handed over the surgery agreement. “We understand how you feel, but induced labor is the only way now. We understand what you mean. If there are any problems during the surgery, we will choose to protect the mother first…”
The scene was so quiet that not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Everyone was silent as they watched Bill sign his name on the surgery consent form.
The sound of the pen being drawn was extremely clear, and the paper made a rustling sound.
Pei Huai neither spoke nor expressed his opinion. If it were him, he would have made the same choice.
He shot Pei Song a glance and the two of them went to the side.
When he returned after ten minutes, Pei Huai was the only one left. Pei Song went to Huichun Hall to get the medicine according to his instructions, just in case.
Cao Zhuzhu and Wang Yi accompanied him.
The doctors had all returned to the operating theater, and the nurse pushed a
few more operating carts in. They were all the things that would be used for the surgery, as well as the backup blood bank that had been prepared.
The door of the operating theater was closed again.
All the information could only come from the dazzling red surgical light.
A deathly silence gradually spread in the space.
The sound of the elevator reaching the floor echoed.
Shen Mu returned with food and distributed it to everyone.
No one was in the mood to eat. Pei Qingshen did not look too good. Pei Huai booked a VIP ward downstairs for him to rest.
He asked Anna and the butler to take care of the old man.
In the corridor outside the operating theater were Pei Huai, Bill, Xu Mingzhi, and the original owner.
Bill received a call from his mother-in -law.
Before he noticed this call, Du Meilan had already called him several times.
She even called Pei Huai and the others, but they were all on the phone.
Du Meilan was already on the plane to China and would arrive in a few hours.
Pei Qingshen did not tell her, and neither did the others.
However, Pei Xi’s stomach hurt so much that she couldn’t speak. Just as she was about to lose consciousness and fall, she dialed Du Meilan’s number in a panic.
Du Meilan was overseas, and it was daytime there, so she quickly picked up the call. However, after the call was connected, she could not hear her daughter’s voice. Later, when she hung up and called again, no one picked up.
At that time, she suspected that something had happened to her daughter and immediately arranged for a private jet to come back.
She had been anxious for the past few hours before she finally got through to her son-in-law.
Bill took all the blame on himself and kept saying that he did not take good care of Pei Xi. Du Meilan was very anxious about her daughter, but she did not say a word of criticism.
She knew that her son-in-law was not feeling any better than her.
Bill finally couldn’t hold back his emotions that he had suppressed for the whole night. He was almost forty years old and cried like a child.
Pei Huai had waited for Su Ji outside the operating room before, so he knew how desperate he felt.
The original owner had been squatting on the ground, leaning against the cold wall of the corridor. She hugged her knees and stayed there.
Her mind seemed to be empty, but also filled with something.
She didn’t know what she was thinking. She mumbled mechanically, “don’t let anything happen…”
“Pei Huai.”
A very soft voice was heard along with the wind that blew past the corridor.
She paused.
“I just heard…”
It was her mother’s voice.
She looked up blankly, but she could not see her mother around her.
Pei Huai also disappeared.
She followed the faint sound and passed through the corridor. After turning a corner, Xu Mingzhi and Pei Huai stood by the water dispenser and talked. Xu Mingzhi’s tone was very low. “It was my daughter’s fault.”
“She’s not your daughter.” Pei Huai poured her a glass of warm water, but Xu Mingzhi did not take it. She placed it on the counter of the water dispenser.
“This has nothing to do with you.”
The original owner stood in the corner, clenching her hands.
Then, she heard Xu Mingzhi say, “she’s my daughter. She did something wrong. As her mother, I didn’t discipline her well. I have let down the Pei family…”
The original owner’s dull eyes moved and looked at Xu Mingzhi.
“If something really happened to Pei Xi,” Xu Mingzhi said with difficulty, “I know that nothing can make up for it. Just take it that I owe the Pei family my life.”
That was the first time the original owner had heard her mother, who had always been strong, speak to someone in such a tone.
One had to know that Xu Mingzhi was the kind of person who would argue even if she did something wrong.
Now, she was paying for her mistake and pleading for her..
