On the night the Shanghai socialite accompanied the military officer, he broke his vow.

Chapter 104 Medical Trouble
"Mom, just bear with it a little longer, we'll be at the hospital soon!"

"Chunhua, Chunhua, you must hold on!"

Early in the morning, a woman in her forties and an old man in his sixties pulled a cart and rushed towards the troops with anxious expressions.

An elderly woman with a belly as big as a basin lay on it, her hands touching her stomach, her hair gray, her brows furrowed, looking very painful.

'My child, my child…'

The old woman clutched her stomach tightly, extremely worried about the baby in her womb.

"Chunhua, don't worry, we'll be at the army base soon. The doctors there are different from those quacks; they'll definitely be able to save you and the baby!"

Old Wang pushed the cart behind, constantly comforting his wife.

A few months ago, Zhao Chunhua's belly suddenly grew big. Old Wang thought he had a child late in life and was overjoyed.

For the past few months, the elderly couple have been taking good care of Zhao Chunhua, hoping that she will give birth to a son.

Yesterday, Zhao Chunhua said her stomach hurt. Old Wang thought she was about to give birth, so he quickly asked the village midwife to come out. But all morning passed, and Zhao Chunhua kept complaining of pain, but the baby in her belly didn't move at all.

Having no other choice, Old Man Wang had to ask the village's barefoot doctor to come and examine Zhao Chunhua.

To her surprise, the doctor said there was no child in her belly at all and told her to go to a large hospital for treatment immediately.

This infuriated Old Wang, so he called his daughter and brought Zhao Chunhua to the army base early this morning.

They wanted a doctor from the military to deliver Zhao Chunhua's baby.

"Zhaodi, go faster, your mother can't take it anymore."

Old Wang urged Wang Zhaodi, who was being pulled along in front, to hurry up.

"Okay, Dad. I'll give it my all and we'll be there soon."

Wang Zhaodi spat twice into her palm and then pulled the cart with all her might.

Just when the father and daughter were too tired to walk any further, they finally arrived at the entrance of the military base.

"Comrade, please help me, my mother is about to give birth, could you please tell us where the hospital is?"

Upon hearing this, the sentry on guard rushed forward to check the situation and was shocked when he saw Zhao Chunhua lying in the car with her large pregnant belly.

"Give me the car, I'll take the patient to the hospital right now!"

The sentry took the cart from Wang Zhaodi as he spoke.

Military hospitals prioritize the needs of service members and their families, but they will also admit individuals like Zhao Chunhua who require emergency treatment in critical situations.

The sentry took the cart and immediately rushed to the army hospital as fast as he could.

Wang Zhaodi and Old Man Wang caught their breath and quickly followed.

When the two of them arrived at the hospital, Zhao Chunhua had already been taken to a ward.

In this era, with many births, it's not uncommon for pregnant women around forty years old to be pregnant. But doctors have never seen one like Zhao Chunhua, who is over sixty.

Song Jinyue, along with the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department and two experienced obstetricians, were performing an ultrasound on Zhao Chunhua in the ultrasound room.

"Doctor, you must save my son. It was so hard for me to get pregnant."

Ever since her belly started to grow bigger, both Zhao Chunhua and Old Man Wang have been convinced that she is carrying a son.

It was a blessing from heaven that they were given this son.

"Don't worry, we will do everything we can to ensure your safety."

Fearing that Zhao Chunhua's emotions might fluctuate too much, Song Jinyue offered words of comfort.

When she saw Zhao Chunhua's belly, she already had a guess in her mind.

However, she didn't say much before the test results came out.

It's clear that Zhao Chunhua has high expectations for the 'child' in her belly. If I were to reveal my guess before any tests are done, Zhao Chunhua probably wouldn't be able to accept it and would make a scene.

The manual probe was scanned back and forth on Zhao Chunhua's abdomen, and the image inside Zhao Chunhua's abdomen was displayed on the oscilloscope.

Upon seeing the image, the director frowned gravely, and the expressions of the two doctors grew even more somber.

"Doctor, how is it? Is my child alright?"

Zhao Chunhua was already extremely anxious because of her stomach pain, and when she saw the expressions on the faces of the director and the doctor, her heart clenched even tighter.

"Comrade, according to the ultrasound, you are not carrying a child."

Although the truth was cruel, one of the doctors told Zhao Chunhua the truth when he saw the image displayed on the oscilloscope.

Zhao Chunhua sat up abruptly in bed and retorted, "Impossible! How could I not have a baby in my belly? You must have made a mistake in the diagnosis!"

"Comrade, please don't get agitated. Our equipment is fine; you really don't have a child in your belly."

“I watched my belly grow bigger and bigger every day, and my family can testify to that. If you say I don’t have a baby in my belly, then how could it get so big!”

Zhao Chunhua couldn't accept what the doctor said and started shouting emotionally.

Song Jinyue pursed her lips. "It's a tumor."

Upon hearing this, the department head and the doctor both looked at Song Jinyue.

Song Jinyue exchanged a glance with them and continued to say to Zhao Chunhua, "Your belly is getting bigger every day not because you are pregnant, but because you have a tumor, and the tumor is growing."

Upon hearing Song Jinyue's words, Zhao Chunhua stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Song Jinyue knew that this kind of thing was hard to accept at the moment, so she softened her tone and walked towards Zhao Chunhua.

"Your health is the most important thing right now. The tumor is growing in your body and will threaten your life sooner or later. We need to conduct further examinations for you as soon as possible."

Before Song Jinyue could even reach Zhao Chunhua's side, the latter got out of bed and ran towards the door in an emotional state.

"Quack doctors, you're all quack doctors!"

"I'm not watching anymore! I'm not watching anymore!"

Zhao Chunhua's voice echoed in the corridor.

Wang Zhaodi and Old Man Wang came over as soon as they heard her voice.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Wang Zhaodi quickly stepped forward and supported Zhao Chunhua's arm.

Zhao Chunhua said emotionally, "Zhaodi, let's go home, let's go home! The doctors here are just like the ones in the village, they're all quacks, I'm not going to see a doctor here!"

"Chunhua, what nonsense are you spouting? The doctors here are different from those in the village. They are selected through a rigorous process to become doctors here. How could they be quacks?"

Upon hearing Zhao Chunhua's words, Old Man Wang immediately slapped his thigh in rebuttal, fearing that if the doctor heard Zhao Chunhua's words, the doctor would get angry and refuse to treat them.

"Yes, Mom, Dad is right. Don't get agitated. Let's hear what the doctor has to say."

If the doctors here can't save her mother, then they really don't know where to go.

Zhao Chunhua didn't say anything, but covered her face and started crying.

Song Jinyue was the first to chase after him out of the ultrasound room. When he saw her white coat, Old Man Wang walked towards her anxiously.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my wife? She's been complaining of stomach pains since yesterday. Is she going into labor?"

"She is not pregnant at all. Her large belly is due to a tumor inside. We cannot determine whether the tumor is malignant or benign at this time. We need to conduct further examinations for her."

Upon hearing Song Jinyue's words, Old Man Wang staggered back a few steps.

"What? A tumor?!"
