No matter whether her boyfriend is happy or not, Wu Lixuan can only continue, "She says she doesn’t know if there’ll be any accidents when her mom, at this age, gives birth."
"High-risk pregnancies usually present risks during the second and third tristers. And there’s also the fear of giving birth to a deford child," Xie Wanying said.
"In that case, what will happen in the end?" Wu Lixuan asked her childhood friend, who is a doctor.
The worst outco is death. Xie Wanying would never casually predict a patient’s outco. In clinical settings, nothing is certain because there are too many sudden situations. From the attitudes of the obstetricians today, it’s clear that there’s a consensus on the risks of Mother Yaxi’s pregnancy.
"Her mom is very confident in herself."
Mother Yaxi is successful in her career, destined to be a very strong-willed woman, and is confident that she can win this battle.
"She wants to ask the doctor what she can do for her mom," Wu Lixuan asked.
"She should just take care of her own responsibilities and not keep asking you. Are you a doctor?" Yin Fengchun finally interjected to stop the conversation, not wanting these two innocent and kind-hearted girls to take the fall for soone else later.
In his eyes, this family was nothing good, swaying like a bunch of parasitic dodders, all tough on the outside but hollow within. If they fall into a quagmire, it’s their own doing; they shouldn’t drag others down with them, clearly nothing good can co from it.
Xie Wanying definitely doesn’t want her childhood friend to get involved any further, so she tells her friend, "Li Xuan, in the future, if she has any questions, she should directly ask a doctor. You won’t be able to explain it to her clearly because you’re not a doctor."
Yin Fengchun grunted: Fortunately, his girlfriend’s best friend has so principles and knows when to stop.
"Alright, Yingying. I’ll bring you a late-night snack tonight." After saying this, Wu Lixuan hung up first and went to help her boyfriend cook.
After finishing the call with her childhood friend, Xie Wanying tidied up and went back to et with Student Geng to head to the delivery room.
The delivery room is a place seemingly without a sense of ti. Whether it’s crowded depends entirely on how many little angels are coming into the world today. So, even now at six in the evening, the area outside the delivery room is still packed, with groups of family mbers of the mothers crowding the corridors and doorways until there’s no room left to move. Faces full of anxiety all face the two tightly closed doors of the delivery room.
Every so often, the door would open, and a dical staff mber would squeeze through the crack to call a family mber over for a talk: Is anyone here for so-and-so?
So family mbers are so nervous that it takes several calls from the dical staff for them to realize it’s directed at them, and they snap back to reality, rushing over and surrounding the staff, all talking at once:
How’s my wife?
How’s my daughter-in-law?
How’s my daughter?
Has the baby been delivered?
This is one type, while another type turns completely blank-headed when called, approaching with a clueless look, not comprehending what they’ve heard even after the staff mber explains. If only one family mber is like this, the others can compensate; the staff’s worst fear is having several family mbers all staring back blankly, as if three-year-olds, asking: What did you say, sir?
Moreover, before the dical staff finishes speaking, so family mbers start arguing amongst themselves.
The vulnerability to dical disputes is particularly evident here. The atmosphere outside the delivery room is much tenser than that outside a regular operating room. One reason is that a regular operating room involves one life. Here, it’s one mother, two lives, or even more. Another reason is that the doctors in the delivery room frequently need the family to make decisions during labor. Unlike regular surgeries, where what the doctor says pre-op is mostly how it will go, it’s rare for doctors to co out halfway during a regular operation to ask family mbers to decide.
