After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyi gave her husband a deep look, then turned away without saying another word.

For the first time, she felt that her usually aloof and taciturn husband could also give her a sense of security.

When the couple arrived at the hospital, the younger sister had already been transferred from the emergency department to the obstetrics department by medical staff.

The doctor who saw the patient was a woman around fifty years old. Upon seeing the patient's family, she quickly introduced the patient's general condition to Lu Shiyi, while Fu Cheng went to help with the admission procedures.

Due to severe rupture of membranes, very little amniotic fluid remains, and the fetal heart rate monitoring is also abnormal. The fetus is currently in very poor condition and an immediate cesarean section is necessary.

Lu Shiyi naturally followed the doctor's advice, but a cesarean section requires a family member's signature. She asked, "I'm her sister, can I sign directly?"

The doctor replied, "Yes, but you'll need to sign an additional power of attorney."

Lu Shiyi: "No problem."

Having said that, he prepared to begin signing.

Just then, my sister's mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, called, "It's November, we just got back from out of town, but Yao Yao isn't home. I called her but she didn't answer. What happened?"

Lu Shiyi spoke quickly, "She's at the First Hospital, about to have a C-section. You should come over quickly and bring her things with you."

Upon hearing this, Li's mother on the other end of the line panicked, "C-section? Wasn't it supposed to be a natural birth? Why do you need a C-section? Tell the doctor to hold off on the C-section right now, I'm calling Kai right now."

"Hey, Eleven, can you hear me?"

Lu Shiyi didn't answer and hung up the phone directly.

After she signed the consent form, the doctors immediately began arranging the surgery.

When Fu Cheng returned after completing the formalities, he saw Lu Shiyi sitting alone on a bench in front of the operating room, her back hunched over, looking forlorn and exhausted.

He walked over and sat down next to his wife. "Don't worry, Yao Yao delivered it on time, there won't be any problems."

Lu Shiyi hummed in agreement and didn't say anything more.

She was worried about her sister, but she was also very angry. Her sister was close to her due date, and no one in the family was taking care of her. Moreover, after the accident, no one in the family could be contacted. Fortunately, she was in Nanshi. If she had been in another city, what would her sister have done now?

While the two were waiting, the younger sister's parents-in-law also rushed over in a panic.

Upon seeing Lu Shiyi, Li's mother immediately asked, "Shiyi, Yaoyao hasn't had a C-section yet, has she?"

Lu Shiyi glanced at her, her eyes filled with coldness. "Where is Li Haokai?"

Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well, I've already notified him. He'll come over as soon as he's done with his work. It's the same for my husband and me here."

In her opinion, it's just having a baby, why make such a fuss? Besides, her son said that he is currently with a very important client, and once the project is successful, the bonus alone will be enough to cover the family's living expenses for almost a year. So, naturally, her son's situation is more important.

What she cares about now is whether Yao Yao had a C-section or not.

Li's mother repeated, "Yaoyao wasn't cesarean section, was she?"

Lu Shiyi patiently explained, "Her amniotic fluid is too low, and the doctor advised that a cesarean section is the only option, otherwise the fetus will be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Li's mother snapped, "Didn't I tell you not to have a C-section yet? You actually believe what the doctor says? They just want a C-section so they can make more money, that's why they're exaggerating how serious it is. Besides, Yao Yao was perfectly fine this morning, how serious could it be in such a short time? How could her amniotic fluid suddenly decrease? Furthermore, the decision of whether to have a C-section or a vaginal delivery should be made with the consent of the baby's father, Kai. Why did you make the decision on your own?"

The quiet corridor was filled with the cacophony of Li's mother shouting at the top of her lungs.

Lu Shiyi frowned deeply. Having witnessed the old woman's true colors in private, she was too lazy to argue with her.

He left only one sentence: "Tell Li Haokai to come quickly."

He then turned around and sat back down on the bench.

Not giving up, Li's mother took a step to chase after him and continue shouting. At this moment, Fu Cheng stood in front of her, his cold eyes almost staring her into an ice cave.

Li's mother shrank back. The man standing in front of her was much taller than her, and she felt that he could easily grab her and throw her away.

At this moment, Mr. Li, who was standing nearby, saw this and quickly pulled his wife over.

With their son not around, they wouldn't gain any advantage in a conflict. All issues would have to wait until their son arrived.

About twenty minutes later, Li Haokai rushed over.

Upon seeing Lu Shiyi and Fu Cheng, he quickly said politely, "Sister, brother-in-law, thank you. I was indeed held up by something today."

When Li's mother saw her son arrive, she immediately became aggressive again, "Kai, we agreed that Yao Yao would have a natural birth. Lu Shiyi didn't even ask for your opinion and just insisted on a C-section. That's too much."

Li Haokai forced a smile. Of course, he would prefer to go along with his mother's wishes, but he didn't want to strain his relationship with his sister and brother-in-law. Besides, he didn't really care whether his wife had a natural birth or a C-section.

So he acted as a peacemaker in the middle.

He smiled apologetically at Lu Shiyi and his wife, then pulled his mother aside.

"Mom, Yao Yao is already undergoing a C-section. Saying these things now will only offend people and won't do any good. It's better for us to just stay here and quietly wait for your grandson to be born."

But Li's mother persisted. Her son tried to speak in a low voice, but she deliberately raised her voice, as if afraid that Lu Shiyi and his wife wouldn't be able to hear him.

"What? We can't even speak up when they do something wrong? Of course they don't care if it's not their grandson. They just decide to have a C-section, even though it's not their money. And babies born via C-section aren't as smart as those born naturally. Don't they know that? If they know that, and they still deliberately have a C-section, then they have no conscience and will be punished."

Lu Shiyi, standing not far away, glared coldly. Yao Yao had just given birth, and that old woman couldn't wait to tear off her disguise. It seemed she had been holding back for quite a while.

At this moment, a passing nurse couldn't stand it anymore. She had been in charge of the obstetrics department since Lu Shuyao was transferred there, so she was quite familiar with the patient's condition.

From the nurse's perspective, the question is whether the fetus can be saved, yet the family is still debating whether to have a C-section or a vaginal delivery.

She walked up to Li's mother and scolded her, "Can family members please keep your voices down? There are other patients in the hospital besides you. If you disturb others, we'll have to ask you to leave."

"Moreover, this patient accidentally fell, and no one took care of her or took any precautions. By the time the ambulance arrived, the amniotic fluid had already been severely lost, so a cesarean section was the only option. This was determined by the objective circumstances, and it wasn't something that could be decided by anyone's casual suggestion of a vaginal or cesarean section."

After saying that, the nurse left.

In their profession, they encounter too many family members who shout and act unreasonably every day. Simply telling them to stop arguing is useless. They can only try to explain the situation clearly. Even if you explain it very clearly, some people will still argue and refuse to listen to anything.

"Fell down? She was talking about Yao Yao?"

Only now does Li's mother realize that her daughter-in-law suddenly went into labor because she fell.

But she and Mr. Li only went out to play cards for a while, how could she have fallen? Back then, many women were still doing manual labor in the fields the day before giving birth, and nothing happened to them.

She always thought her daughter-in-law was clumsy, and sure enough, she fell down when no one was around. She's such a worry...
