In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn
Chapter 163 The Frail Infant
Su Li thought the delivery would go smoothly, but the result was not so satisfactory; she seemed to have a difficult labor.
A full quarter of an hour passed, and the baby in her belly still hadn't been born. Not only Su Li, but the midwives were also getting anxious, trying all sorts of methods, but to no avail.
At this point, Su Li also realized that she was gradually losing strength, and even ginseng could not replenish it.
The longer she delayed, the more dangerous it would be for the baby. Su Li didn't want anything to happen to the baby, nor did she want to collapse during childbirth, so she decisively ordered, "Help me up. I want to give birth standing up. I really don't have the strength to lie here any longer."
The midwives were shocked to hear this and were surprised by Su Li's risky behavior. But after their initial shock, they had no choice but to do as she said, because there was no better way at the moment and they had to take the risk.
The commotion inside was so loud that it was hard for Zhao Zexuan not to notice. He already knew that Su Li was carrying triplets, not twins, and he was getting nervous. So when he heard the noise from inside, Zhao Zexuan asked what was going on.
Su Li's sudden difficult labor caught everyone off guard. Zhao Zexuan should have known about this, so a maid hurriedly came out to report the situation inside and Su Li's decision.
Upon hearing the definite news, Zhao Zexuan couldn't stay outside any longer. Ignoring Su Li's previous instructions, he pushed open the door and went inside.
Zhao Zexuan moved too quickly; the maid had no time to stop him, nor did she dare to. She could only hurriedly follow him inside and close the door again.
The change happened so fast that before Madam Zhao and the others could react, Zhao Zexuan had already entered the house. At this point, they couldn't say anything more and could only look at the house with worry.
Inside the house, with the help of others, Su Li struggled to stand on the makeshift swing. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she used her sleeve to cover herself and drank several mouthfuls of spiritual spring water.
After drinking the spiritual spring water, Su Li felt much stronger. With the help of others, she struggled to pull on the rope, breathing in and out.
Su Li felt that she had recovered her energy a little, but Zhao Zexuan did not think so. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Su Li covered in sweat and pale-faced, standing on the large swing set with the help of others. Anyone who saw that scene would feel sorry for her.
Zhao Zexuan truly felt Su Li's hardship and genuinely felt guilty. He didn't stop and almost ran towards Su Li, opening his arms to protect her amidst the exclamations of the crowd.
Although Su Li had regained some strength, she was still exhausted. After Zhao Zexuan entered the room, she only looked up at him.
Zhao Zexuan knew that Su Li was very tired, so he didn't ask too many questions or disturb the midwife. He just stood aside and silently protected her.
The midwives were initially surprised by Zhao Zexuan's sudden intrusion, but they quickly lost interest as they realized the baby seemed to be about to be born.
Although they didn't know what had happened, it was a pleasant surprise. The midwives quickly said, "Madam, just a little more effort, the baby inside will be out soon."
The pain in her abdomen reminded Su Li of this, and since she now had enough strength to give birth, she nodded and said, "Okay, I've regained some strength now, let's continue."
Upon hearing this, the midwife immediately said, "Alright, madam, just like before, inhale, exhale, inhale..."
Su Li did as the midwives instructed, large beads of sweat pouring from her forehead, her face growing paler. Zhao Zexuan noticed this and took the handkerchief handed to him by the maid to wipe Su Li's face. His tightly furrowed brows showed that he was also very nervous.
The last child was born with great difficulty, but thankfully, the baby was born. As the last faint cry of a newborn rang out, Su Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Li was exhausted, extremely exhausted, so exhausted that she couldn't stand up and collapsed into Zhao Zexuan's arms. Zhao Zexuan, seeing Su Li had fainted, anxiously picked her up and hurriedly asked, "What happened to Madam?"
The midwife had checked on Su Li as soon as she collapsed, and said, "Madam was too tired and fell asleep, but fortunately she is not seriously injured!"
Hearing this, Zhao Zexuan nodded, carried her to the bed, carefully covered Su Li with the blankets, and after confirming that everything was alright, he looked at the midwife holding the baby and asked, "How is the baby?"
The midwife dared not hide anything, and took a few steps forward to show Zhao Zexuan the baby, saying, "The young lady's body is a bit weak, I'm afraid she will be difficult to raise."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan's gaze towards the midwife instantly sharpened. He stepped forward and carefully examined her. When he saw the little girl's thin body and bluish-purple face, he immediately tensed up. He carefully took the child into his arms and then said, "You are all experienced midwives, and you must have some experience in raising children. Please teach me carefully how to take good care of this child and what aspects we need to pay attention to. The General's Mansion will not treat you unfairly."
Upon hearing Zhao Zexuan's words, the midwife knew that he was not one to hold grudges, and she was relieved. She quickly assured him, "General, rest assured, we will tell you the truth."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan nodded and said, "Clean up the delivery room, then go and invite Doctor Liu to examine Madam and the young master. Bring the other two children back as well."
The midwife and maids obeyed the order and quickly tidied up the room, soon cleaning it thoroughly. Doctor Liu was then brought in.
Knowing his task for the day, Doctor Liu began taking pulses with the help of a maid after entering the room. After taking Su Li's pulse, he then examined the child who was born last.
To be honest, Dr. Liu was shocked when he saw the baby born last. After all, he had never seen such a small child before, with such weak breathing, and so thin that he thought the child wouldn't live much longer.
The examination of the child's physical condition took quite a while, so Zhao Zexuan knew that the situation was not simple. Therefore, as soon as Doctor Liu stopped, he asked, "How is it? How should it be treated?"
Doctor Liu could sense the anxiety in Zhao Zexuan's tone, so he immediately replied, "This child is too young and too weak. We can't use medicine now; we can only carefully nurture him."
Zhao Zexuan naturally understood this, but he wanted to know the exact answer even more, so he asked, "Can this child survive?"
This question put Dr. Liu in a difficult position. He didn't know how to answer, but under Zhao Zexuan's pressing gaze, he had no choice but to tell the truth: "It's hard to guarantee. It depends on how things go."
