Li's mother suddenly realized something and immediately became nervous.

"Falling down? Won't that affect your grandson?"

She paced anxiously back and forth in the corridor, no longer bothering to shout at Lu Shiyi and his wife.

Li Haokai, who was standing nearby, was also surprised to learn that his wife had fallen. How could she have fallen so suddenly?

He shared his mother's concerns: "I hope the baby in my belly is alright?"

While worried, she was also a little angry, muttering to herself, "She's such a grown woman, how can she be so careless? Luckily, he specifically asked his parents to come and take care of her, and didn't let her do anything. If he had let her do anything else, wouldn't an accident have happened at any moment? Sigh, he works himself to the bone outside, and his wife can't even take care of herself. How can he expect her to take care of the whole family?"

Thinking back to how he had been humbly trying to please the client before he arrived, Li Haokai felt even more resentful.

He went over to support his mother and comforted her, saying, "Mom, don't worry, sit down and rest for a bit."

As they spoke, the two sat down on another bench.

Lu Shiyi, sitting diagonally opposite them, didn't look at them again. All she hoped for now was that her sister and baby would be safe and sound, and that everything would go smoothly.

Fu Cheng, standing beside her, quietly stayed by his wife's side.

While the group was waiting, the operating room door suddenly opened, and the midwife came out looking flustered.

"Family members, Lu Shuyao's family members, the patient is bleeding heavily and needs to be transferred to the ICU immediately for emergency treatment. Who will sign the consent form?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyi, who was sitting on the chair, immediately stood up and ran over almost sprinting.

Li Haokai and his mother also went over.

As Li Haokai walked, he said, "I am her husband, I'm here to sign."

Hearing this, Li's mother immediately tugged at her son's clothes and muttered, "It was Lu Shiyi who signed it from the beginning. How can you expect her to sign it and then have it changed?"

Li Haokai hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and walked up to the nurse without mentioning signing the papers. Seeing this, Lu Shiyi immediately said, "I'll go sign them."

As he spoke, he followed the nurse to sign the papers.

At this moment, Li's mother grabbed the nurse's arm, "Doctor, how is the baby? Is the baby alright?"

The nurse seemed a little impatient. "Someone will tell you the details about the baby's condition later," she said, and continued walking towards the signing area.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Li's mother immediately threw a tantrum, grabbing the nurse's arm tightly and refusing to let go.

"What do you mean 'someone will say something later'? We need to know now. Let me tell you, if anything happens to my grandson, I'll never forgive you."

The nurse looked disgusted; she hated these unreasonable and domineering family members the most. "Let go. If you don't sign the papers, the patient will be in even greater danger."

Lu Shiyi, who was standing next to her, pried open Li's mother's hand and pulled the nurse toward the signature area.

"Ah, my hand, Lu Shiyi, you..."

Li's mother watched Lu Shiyi leave, clutching her hand and muttering curses under her breath.

At this moment, Li Haokai walked up to his mother and asked with some worry, "Mom, is something really wrong with Yaoyao?"

The nurse's words made him realize that Yao Yao's condition did indeed seem to be a bit critical.

In his mind, no matter what the illness is in the hospital, the doctor will explain the worst possible outcome in advance and then ask you to sign all sorts of complicated informed consent forms. If you are cured, it is because they are good; if you are not cured, it is the result of the disease itself and has nothing to do with them.

Therefore, no matter what the illness is, doctors will always describe it as very serious.

But the nurse's reaction made him feel that it might really be serious.

"What could possibly go wrong? Everyone bleeds a little during childbirth. Don't listen to their nonsense. Who knows how much it would cost to be in the ICU for a day?"

All Li's mother wanted to know was how her grandson was doing. She was fed up with all the trouble that had happened since he was born.

At this moment, Fu Cheng, who had been by Lu Shiyi's side, received a phone call. He glanced at it and saw it was He Ze.

Seeing that his wife was still signing, he walked to the stairwell not far away and answered the phone.

"Hey"

"Hey, Lao Fu, where are you? It's such an important meeting this afternoon, are you deliberately disappearing to scare me?"

Fu Cheng's tone was cold and stern. "There's an urgent matter at home, so I can't attend the meeting. Please help appease them first, and I'll explain to them personally when I get back."

Upon hearing that it was an urgent family matter, He Ze on the other end of the phone immediately became serious and solemn. "Don't worry, you focus on handling things at home. I can manage."

"Thank you!"

Although the two have a very close relationship, Fu Cheng believes that he should express his gratitude when the time comes. For him, these two words are not just polite formalities, but a sincere expression of his feelings.

"Treat me to drinks sometime, the collector's edition..."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Cheng was about to go over when two nurses hurriedly walked down the stairs, probably because the elevator was too crowded.

One of them said anxiously as they walked, "Quickly notify the director. Lu Shuyao, the woman in labor number eight, is hemorrhaging. The cause of the bleeding has not yet been found. She is in shock and her life is in danger at any time. An emergency consultation is needed."

Fu Cheng's eyes darkened, and he stopped in his tracks.

"But the chief surgeon is still performing another complex surgery, which will probably take another hour or so."

"Then let's talk to the deputy director first. He'll organize things. There's no point in us worrying about it..."

The two talked and hurriedly went downstairs.

Fu Cheng lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and made a call.

"Hello, Aunt Zeng"

"Hey~ Ah Cheng, it's rare that you still remember me..."

…………

When Fu Cheng returned after making the call, Lu Shiyi was already sitting back on the bench waiting.

When she saw her husband return, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

Her husband, who was usually cold and unfamiliar, was now her only support.

Her voice trembled, and her hand, which was signing the document, was shaking uncontrollably. "The doctor just issued a critical condition notice, saying that Yao Yao's life is in danger at any moment, and that we should be prepared. What should we do? What can I do to help her..."

Lu Shiyi, who is usually resilient and indomitable, is now as vulnerable as a child.

A profound sense of powerlessness nearly consumed her.

Having always relied solely on herself, she now silently prays that God will protect her sister and not take her life.

Fu Cheng sat beside his wife and saw that her eyes were red. He felt a little flustered. No girl had ever acted like this in front of him before. Of course, the main reason was that he didn't allow them to get close.

He tried his best to hide his slight unease, speaking in a calm and steady tone, "Everything will be alright. Trust the doctor, and trust Yao Yao."

Before that phone call, he probably wouldn't have dared to say such certainty, even if it was just to offer comfort.

But now, with the participation of Aunt Zeng, a top-notch obstetrician and gynecologist in Nanshi and even the whole country, he believes that Yao Yao will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties.

Her husband's resolute tone inexplicably reassured Lu Shiyi.

She nodded slightly, catching a glimpse of a strong, broad shoulder out of the corner of her eye.

Lu Shiyi turned her head and glanced at him, then naturally moved her body closer to her husband and leaned against him.

Fu Cheng was caught off guard and shuddered, his whole body stiffening as if struck by an electric current.

"She, how could she..."

Fu Cheng was surprised, but also felt a hint of resentment.

Normally, he would have shoved her head back down.

But in this situation, doing this seems inappropriate...
