Once the call connected, she began using a cutesy, affected voice to accuse Xia Liang of harassnt, embellishing the story with her own exaggerations.
At that mont, Xia Liang was driving Lin Wan, her sister-in-law, and her nephew to the hospital.
"Phew, it's finally quiet," Xia Liang breathed a long sigh of relief. He smiled as he looked out the car window, suddenly feeling that the scenery had beco much more beautiful.
Hearing his words, Lin Wan chuckled. She cooed to the little nephew in her arms without speaking, savoring the rare mont of warm tranquility.
The car was filled with a peaceful atmosphere. anwhile, the Anchor, having finished her heavily embellished phone call, hung up. Standing under the sun by the roadside, she felt a bit better after hearing the words of the taxi company manager. After all, she had only ntioned the parts that were to her advantage. As for the part about saving the pregnant woman and child, she had craftily avoided ntioning a single word.
The Anchor was quite satisfied after receiving a series of apologies from the Shangjing Didi manager, along with repeated assurances that Xia Liang would be severely punished. This made her view her surroundings as much more agreeable.
Xia Liang, let's see what you do now, she thought with a surge of secret delight. You made lose my job and get shunned like a rat in the street. I'll make you lose your job and get humiliated, too. None of you will get off easy!
During her long phone call with the Shangjing Didi manager, he had already arranged for a nearby driver to pick her up. Now, she decided she would go straight to Xia Liang's Didi company headquarters. She wanted to wait for his arrival and personally watch as he was scolded and punished by his boss, then blacklisted from ever being hired again. Only then could she return all the humiliation she had suffered and finally vent her anger.
She could already imagine the scene: Xia Liang would arrive, only to stand before her and endure a furious tirade from his manager, not daring to breathe a word in his own defense. The thought of witnessing such a satisfying drama made her laugh out loud with glee.
The Anchor's crazed state did not affect the tranquility inside the car.
Lin Wan watched Xia Liang, who was concentrating intently on driving, and felt a bit gloomy. She wasn't bad-looking—in fact, she was the campus belle of Xi University. Yet he seed different from other n, showing no interest in talking to her at all.
"Xia Liang, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would have done," Lin Wan couldn't help but say, looking his way. "By the way, you look so young, but your dical skills are incredible!"
Observing his handso profile, Lin Wan felt her cheeks warm up.
Xia Liang, who had just snapped back to reality after checking the System, casually replied, "Don't ntion it. It was nothing. As for my age and dical skills…" He trailed off, leaving her in suspense. Seeing her curious expression in the rearview mirror, he said with a smile, "Why don't you guess?"
Lin Wan felt a flash of irritation at his response. If he didn't want to say, he could have just said so instead of teasing her.
So she declared loudly, "I don't want to guess!"
The mont the words left her mouth, she regretted them. Seeing Xia Liang's playful expression, her heart began to race, and a visible blush instantly spread from her cheeks down to her neck.
Watching this, her sister-in-law, who was still enduring considerable pain, couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth twitch as she grunted. She had never seen her younger sister-in-law blush for any man before.
Suddenly, seeing her sister-in-law faint from the unbearable pain, Lin Wan grew extrely anxious.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
"She's fine," Xia Liang said calmly after a glance in the rearview mirror. "She was extrely tense before, and now she's finally relaxed. Add the pain on top of that, and it would be strange if she *didn't* faint."
Hearing Xia Liang's casual tone, Lin Wan gradually relaxed as well, though the hand tightly grasping her sister-in-law's revealed her inner turmoil.
Ti flew by, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the hospital entrance. After parking the car, Xia Liang swiftly scooped up the unconscious woman, gesturing for Lin Wan to follow closely with the baby.
"Xiao Wan, what happened?" a voice called out just as Xia Liang carried the woman into the ergency room.
Looking at the nurse blocking his path, Xia Liang glanced at Lin Wan. "You know her?"
Lin Wan whispered, "My sister-in-law works in the Obstetrics and Gynecology departnt at this hospital, and I visit her often, so I know most of the staff here."
This made Xia Liang happy. He figured that since they were all acquainted, he could just explain the situation and leave. He quickly interrupted what Lin Wan was about to say and spoke to the nurse, "Get a gurney."
The nurse, stunned by his words and the sight of the unconscious, blood-soaked person in his arms, quickly called for soone to bring a gurney over.
"Doctor Wang, we have an ergency! Co look at this patient, quickly!" the nurse shouted to the doctor inside before she had even fully entered the room.
Inside the ergency room, Doctor Wang had just seen his last patient and was about to take a sip of water when the shout made him choke and cough. He turned his head, saw the patient whose lower body was covered in blood, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Lin Wan explained from the side, "I was out for a walk with my sister-in-law today when she accidentally fell, and her water broke. If Xia Liang hadn't helped us with the delivery, I don't know what we would have done."
"Who is Xia Liang?" the doctor asked. Seeing this naive-looking young woman, he knew he wouldn't get much useful information from her.
"Xia Liang is a Didi driver. He's the one who brought us to the hospital, and it was with his help that my nephew was born safely," Lin Wan replied, turning to pull Xia Liang forward.
But her hand grasped at empty air. Xia Liang had already left the mont her sister-in-law was placed on the gurney. Seeing that he was gone, Lin Wan felt a pang of disappointnt.
"He delivered the child?" the doctor asked again.
"Yes, and after we got in the car, my sister-in-law was bleeding a lot. It was Xia Liang who stopped the bleeding…"
"That's impossible," the doctor interjected before Lin Wan could finish. "Based on your description, if your sister-in-law fell and was bleeding, it could have been a major hemorrhage. There's no way so driver could have stopped it." This was sothing he, a doctor with nearly a decade of experience, would find difficult, let alone a taxi driver.
"But it's true!" Lin Wan explained hastily. "Xia Liang said the baby was in a transverse position, and he was the one who shifted the baby into an anterior position so he could be born smoothly."
The mont the doctor heard "transverse lie," he imdiately led the group toward the resuscitation room, telling a nurse to notify the departnt chief and ask the head of Obstetrics and Gynecology to co for a consultation.
Bewildered by all the commotion, Lin Wan was frightened. Didn't Xia Liang say everything was fine? Why are they so tense?
The doctor, oblivious to her thoughts, was busy connecting both mother and child to a cardiac monitor. Looking at the readings, he was dumbfounded.
Mother's vitals: Temperature: 36.4°C, Pulse: 82, Blood Pressure: 120/70, Respiration: 20, SpO2: 99%.
Baby's vitals: Temperature: 36.9°C, Pulse: 120, Blood Pressure: 80/60, Respiration: 36, SpO2: 98%.
The numbers were perfectly normal. There was nothing wrong with either the mother or the child.
"Are you certain the baby was delivered naturally while in a transverse lie?" the doctor asked, looking at Lin Wan with a serious expression after checking their vital signs.
Before Lin Wan could nod, a voice ca from behind them. "That's impossible. No child can be delivered naturally from a transverse lie. What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Chief, it's not my nonsense," the doctor quickly replied. "This is what the patient's family told . I know it's impossible; I was just trying to verify it."
"But that's what Xia Liang said," Lin Wan murmured, now completely confused about who to believe.
"This Xia Liang, which hospital is he a doctor at?" the Chief asked Doctor Wang.
"He's not a doctor, he's a Didi…"
"And you believe soone who isn't even a dical professional? Are you new here?" the Chief snapped, cutting the doctor off with a fierce reprimand.
After scolding him, the Chief once again perford a basic check of the mother's and child's vital signs. Aside from the mother having lost so blood, there were no major issues.
