Fu Cheng sat upright like a statue, especially his shoulders, which felt incredibly heavy.

Lu Shiyi leaned on her husband's shoulder and whispered, "Thank you."

If her husband hadn't been with her today, she might be on the verge of a breakdown by now.

Fu Cheng stiffened and replied somewhat awkwardly, "You're welcome."

In his view, his wife's family was his own family, and he had only done what a husband should do; there was nothing to thank him for.

The couple sat there until the nurse came over.

It was the same nurse who had scolded Li's mother before. She walked up to Lu Shiyi and said, "Lu Shuyao's family member, come here for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyi immediately stood up and followed the nurse, asking as she walked, "How is my sister now? Is she out of danger?"

The nurse said, "You're very lucky. Today you happened to meet Dr. Zeng Huizhen, the most famous obstetrician and gynecologist in Nanshi, who personally participated in the remote consultation. The cause of the bleeding has been found, and she should be out of danger. However, her baby is not doing well..."

The nurse came to the family to talk about the newborn baby.

At that moment, the in-laws, who were not far away, heard the nurse mention the baby and immediately came over.

"What's wrong with my grandson? What do you mean by 'not so good'?"

Li's mother grabbed the nurse's uniform, demanding, "What have you done to my grandson?"

The nurse frowned and forcefully pulled away her clothes. "Once we get to the neonatal ward, the doctor will explain everything to you in detail."

The group followed the nurse to the doctor's office, where a male doctor with graying hair was on duty. When the family members came in, he began to explain the baby's condition and comfort them.

"When the mother was brought in, the baby's condition was already critical. After birth, the baby had no spontaneous breathing and its skin turned bluish-purple. Even though it was sent to the neonatal intensive care unit for emergency treatment, unfortunately, we were still unable to save this little life."

The veteran doctor also felt it was a pity. If the mother had been brought in a few minutes earlier, perhaps there would have been a chance for a turnaround, but...

Hospitals are the places in the world where regrets are the most abundant!

Although he has been a doctor for decades and has seen too many such scenes, he still feels sad every time it happens.

He sighed and continued, "Your family members should discuss it and see whether to hand it over to the hospital or take it back to handle yourselves."

Lu Shiyi stood there stunned. Despite her and her husband's best efforts to buy time, the accident still happened.

Meanwhile, Li's mother, who was standing next to her, realized that her dream of having a grandson had been shattered. She burst into tears and squatted down on the ground.

"Give me back my grandson! I told you not to have a C-section, but you insisted. Now you've removed my grandson, you have to take responsibility..."

Although the nurse next to her looked a little annoyed, she still squatted down to comfort Li's mother, "Auntie, we understand how you feel, but this is really not a problem with the C-section. We have explained before that in that situation, there was no way to have a natural birth, so a C-section was the only option."

"I don't care, my grandson died here, so you have to take responsibility! I'm going to sue you!!"

Li's mother sat on the ground, crying so hard that she was bent over backwards, her wine-red, ramen-noodle-like hair swinging rhythmically back and forth.

…………

Seeing that she couldn't reason with him, the nurse stood up and looked at Li Haokai, who was standing to the side.

The old man is unreasonable and you can't reason with him. His son seems to be highly educated, so he can't be unreasonable either.

But Li Haokai turned his head away, his eyes darting around. Although he wouldn't yell like his mother, he didn't stop her either.

He felt that with modern medicine being so advanced, how could a fall cause a child to be lost? There must have been some mistake on the part of the hospital.

Seeing this, the nurse sighed inwardly. She had said everything she could, but the woman was still going to cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide. What could she do?

"Auntie, how about this, you take a look at the baby first and see what to do. It's a girl, weighing six pounds and three ounces. If you feel there are any problems with our hospital later, we can talk about it at another time."

Li's mother, who was crying on the ground, suddenly stopped. "A baby girl? She's clearly my grandson, how could she be a girl?"

Nurse:"……"

"Auntie, how could we lie to you about something like this? If you don't believe us, you can get tested. We'll cooperate with everything."

Li's mother sat on the ground, no longer making a sound.

A moment later, she raised her arm to wipe away her tears, then twisted her somewhat plump body, trying to get up from the ground, but she couldn't get up even after several attempts.

Seeing this, Li Haokai quickly helped his mother up.

"What can we do? Your hospital can handle it themselves."

After saying that, Li's mother turned around and walked straight out of the office, no longer crying or making a fuss.

She muttered to herself as she walked, "Thank goodness it's a girl..."

Seeing this, Li Haokai and his father quickly followed. Halfway there, Li Haokai turned his head and glanced at the corner of the office, hesitating whether to take a look, but seeing his mother walking out without turning her head, he gave up the idea.

Lu Shiyi had already returned to her sister's place; she had left when Li's mother started making a scene.

The doctor informed her that Lu Shuyao had passed the critical period, and she went to her sister's side immediately.

After leaving the office, Li's family went straight to the hospital entrance.

"Mom, should we go see Yao Yao before we go back?"

Li Haokai felt that as a husband, it would be unreasonable not to visit his wife after she had just gone through what she had gone through.

Li's mother turned to her son and scolded him, "What's so interesting? Didn't the doctor say we've passed the critical period? I knew the hospital was making a mountain out of a molehill. Nothing happened. What ICU and emergency treatment? To put it bluntly, they just want to rip off ordinary people like us."

"Besides, with her sister and brother-in-law there, why are we even bothering to get involved? Do we think we haven't already received enough attitude from them? We rushed over in the middle of the day, didn't even have time to eat, and they still don't appreciate it. We didn't even get to hold our grandson. And all that time we spent taking care of Yao Yao for half a year, what a waste! I don't know what I did in my past life to end up with such a daughter-in-law, I'm truly cursed for eight lifetimes..."

Seeing his mother's scolding becoming increasingly intense, Li Haokai ultimately dared not say anything more.

Mr. Li listened silently, without saying a word throughout.

He had been married to Li's mother for decades and had long since gotten used to it. Whenever Li's mother was around, he basically had no say.

The family left the hospital and went home.

In the ward.

As the anesthesia wore off, Lu Shuyao gradually woke up.

Her face was still somewhat pale, and her lips were completely bloodless.

"sister……"

Lu Shuyao weakly turned her head and the first thing she saw was her sister next to the hospital bed.

Tears instantly streamed down my face...
