Chapter 945: Sister-in-law, I’ll Go Find Major General
“From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other. What happens to you in the future has nothing to do with me. But there’s one thing, don’t appear in front of me in the future. I’ll ask someone to send you away.”
After saying this, Zhou Yao strode away.
Han Xuan had already broken down. He said that he will abandon her, that he didn’t care about how her brother, Han Hong, saved his life, that he didn’t care about her sacrificing herself to save him. He also wanted her to never appear in front of him again. He was so heartless, so heartless!
“Ah, Zhou Yao!” Han Xuan screamed out of control.
…
Zhou Yao got into the hall. He wanted to go back to Leng Zhiyuan, but Xiao Zhi rushed over at this time. “Major General, the negotiation is not going well.”
The negotiation was not going well, which meant that there was a possibility of a battle at any time.
“Okay, I’ll go and take a look.” Zhou Yao nodded. He turned around and walked away. As he walked, he ordered in a whisper, “Tell all the soldiers to stand by. Also, you stay here.”
“Major general, I…”
“I’m worried about Zhiyuan. You guard outside her door and keep the military doctor on duty 24/7 until the medical reinforcements from abroad arrive.”
“Yes, Major General!”
…
In the room, Leng Zhiyuan was sitting on the bed. She carefully attached the few small bells onto the red rope. Then, she stopped suddenly because she felt the contractions.
The contractions didn’t hurt at the beginning, but it meant that she was about to go into labor.
No, she had to attach the small bells properly.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes flashed.
The knocking continued. Then, a middle-aged woman’s voice came from outside the door, “Madam.”
Leng Zhiyuan remained silent for a few seconds. Then, she put the small bracelet on the bed and got up.
The door opened and the middle-aged woman walked in. She nodded respectfully, “Madam, Mr. Ye sent me here.”
“What’s the matter?” She asked directly.
“Madam, Mr. Ye said it’s time for you to take the medicine. He asked you to go back with me.”
Leng Zhiyuan’s expression was very cold. She shook her head and said, “Go back and tell him that I’m not going back.”
The middle-aged woman was shocked. “Madam, you are well aware of your health condition. If you don’t have the High Priest’s medicine to aid you, once the contractions intensify, you will give birth prematurely. Also, there’s fetal malposition. If anything happens, both you and the child will die.”
“I know, but I’m not going back. You should leave. Ye Ziyi will not make things difficult for you. He knows what I mean.”
“But Madam…”
At this time, a series of footsteps and Xiao Zhi’s voice came from outside the door. Xiao Zhi was talking to the female military doctor. Leng Zhiyuan’s expression changed. She reached out and attacked the back of the middle-aged woman’s neck.
The middle-aged woman closed her eyes and fainted.
Leng Zhiyuan caught the fainted middle-aged woman to avoid making any noise. She returned to the bed and continued to work on her little bracelet.
Ye Ziyi understood what she meant. She also understood what Ye Ziyi meant. Ye Ziyi did not tell Zhou Yao about her health conditions because he wanted her to make the decision.
If she returned to his side, he would save her. If she did not want to return to his side, he would give up on her.
Now, she had made her choice.
When she attached the last little bell onto the red rope, there was a loud bang from outside. Leng Zhiyuan knew that the two sides had initiated their attacks, the negotiation had failed.
She did not move. She just worked at a faster pace. Large beads of sweat dripped from her forehead onto her palm. Her face was pale and the contractions intensified.
After putting on the little bell, she wanted to get out of bed. But the intense pain made it impossible for her to walk. She rolled down from the bed and her lower region became wet. Her amniotic fluid broke.
“Someone, someone…” She bit her pale lower lip and shouted.
“Sister-in-law!” Xiao Zhi and the female military doctor immediately rushed in.
The female military doctor knew that Leng Zhiyuan’s condition was not good. “Xiao Zhi, have the medical reinforcements from abroad arrived?”
“Not yet!”
“Where’s the Major General?”
“There’s war outside now. As the commander, the Major General must be at the front line.” Xiao Zhi shouted agitatedly. “Don’t worry about this. Is sister-in-law going into labor?”
The female military doctor said with a serious face, “Yes, sister-in-law is going into labor. Things are not looking good. The uterus is not fully open yet, but the amniotic fluid has broken first… You know what, let’s help sister-in-law to the bed first and try giving birth naturally.”
“Okay,” Xiao Zhi and the female military doctor carried Leng Zhiyuan to the bed.
Xiao Zhi was a man and did not know anything. He could only stand aside and be anxious. Two young nurses ran in. The female military doctor tried to help with the delivery, “Sister-in-law, don’t be nervous. Let’s take a deep breath, inhale, exhale, and push…”
Leng Zhiyuan was lying on the bed. Her thick hair spread around her in disarray. Her two small hands clutched the bedsheet tightly. She did as the female military doctor said. Her entire body was soaked in sweat. When she clenched her teeth and pushed, her pale and delicate little face twisted together in pain…
She suddenly felt extremely painful. Not good.
Her delicate back fell back into the bedsheet. She felt as if water rushed out of her, it felt warm and sticky.
Xiao Zhi looked in shock at the snow-white mattress that was suddenly dyed red with blood. The sweet blood dripped down from the sheets onto the carpet, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
The female military doctor shouted, “Oh no, It’s uterine hemorrhage. Hurry up and stop the bleeding!”
Xiao Zhi ran forward and growled at the female military doctor, “Can you do it or not?”
“I told the Major General a long time ago that I definitely can’t do it. The medical facilities here are too primitive. Once a pregnant woman has a uterine hemorrhage, her life will be in danger. Now that the amniotic fluid has broken before the uterine orifice has fully opened, the child will die when left inside the mother for too long. We will lose two lives!” The female military doctor shrieked.
“Then what should we do? What should we do? Sister-in-law, hang in there. The G.o.ds will bless good people. You will be fine. The child will be fine too.” Xiao Zhi trembled at the sight of the non-stop bleeding, not knowing what to do. He had seen too many people die on the battlefield over the years because of medical complications.
Why would sister-in-law go into labor at this time? Why couldn’t she wait just a little longer?
Leng Zhiyuan’s vision turned dark. She felt that all her strength was being slowly sucked away, and her stomach was also gradually stiffening…
If her stomach stiffened, the child would be in danger.
She slowly reached out her hand and grabbed Xiao Zhi’s sleeve. She kept moving her lips to speak, but her voice was too weak.
“Sister-in-law, what do you want to say?” Xiao Zhi leaned in to listen.
Leng Zhiyuan did not say anything. She only repeated two words, “Zhou Yao, Zhou… Yao…”
Xiao Zhi’s tears fell. He quickly nodded. “Okay, I’ll go find Major General! Sister-in-law, please wait. You must hold on!”
…
The war outside was very intense. The islanders swore to follow Ye Ziyi to death, and many died as the war continued.
