Chapter 375 - 375 Giving Birth
The midwife hadn’t finished speaking when Fang Tianliu couldn’t help but rush into the room.
“Hey, hey, why are you coming in when a woman is giving birth?”
“I’m not afraid of filth. How can giving birth be considered a filthy thing?” Fang Tianliu quickly retorted. He only had eyes for Li Xiangjun. “Don’t be afraid, I’ll stay here and not go anywhere.”
!!
Li Xiangjun’s lower lip had already been bitten bloody by her.
“Use more strength! Your water broke early. If you don’t use force, both you and the child won’t survive!”
Madam Zhang reached out to press on Li Xiangjun’s stomach. She was so anxious that her face turned red. “Miss Li, this is not the time to be exhausted. Use more strength to push!”
Li Xiangjun’s mouth was still filled with ginseng, but her eyes were still unfocused.
Fang Tianliu’s face turned pale. He wanted to reach out but he didn’t dare to touch her, so he could only follow the midwife’s lead and call her name out in vain.
“Xiangjun! Xiangjun! You can’t fall asleep! I was wrong! I was really wrong! I shouldn’t have been calculative, I should have let go of the past earlier. As long as you can pull through this, our family of three will live happily-”
“Xiangjun!” Li Miao, who was standing at the door, was extremely worried when she heard the commotion inside. She shouted at the top of his lungs, “Fang Tianliu! Why don’t we let Doctor Sun take a look? Miss Li’s life is on the line!”
No matter what, Doctor Sun was an outsider.
Li Miao was really worried that Fang Tianliu would be muddle headed and not be able to accept Doctor Sun’s help.
“Fang Tianliu! Let’s save her first.”
“That’s right, we still have Doctor Sun.” Fang Tianliu came back to his senses and held Li Xiangjun’s hand. He was on the verge of breaking down as he shouted towards the door, “Doctor Sun, quickly come in and save her, please!”
Doctor Sun pushed the door open and entered. He took a silver needle and pierced it into her several major acupuncture points.
Li Xiangjun, who was at the brink of exhaustion, rolled her eyes backward in agony.
“There’s movement.” Madam Zhang looked down at her lower body and shouted encouragingly, “Miss Li, use more strength. Just a few more pushes and the child will be born safely.”
“My child…”
Li Xiangjun’s voice was almost inaudible. All that was left in her mind was Madam Zhang’s voice, asking her to use more strength.
Fang Tianliu’s hand started to turn blue and purple from the grip.
“Wu-!”
Li Xiangjun gritted her teeth and gathered all her strength for one last push.
“I see the crown! The baby is coming!”
Madam Zhang saw the child’s head and reached out to help her. She then held the child in her arms. “She’s a young lady.”
Fang Tianliu was so happy that he cried. He knelt on the ground and leaned his head against Li Xiangjun’s. “Xiangjun, you gave birth to a daughter.”
“Why isn’t this child crying?”
The sound of Madam Zhang patting the child’s feet grew louder and louder. The little bit of joy that Fang Tianliu had just felt instantly fell to the bottom of the pit.
Doctor Sun had already walked over and placed the child on the bed next to him.
The newborn baby was only as long as his arm, and her body was full of silver needles. Doctor Sun’s expression was grave, and he did not stop the silver needles. Fang Tianliu kneeled on the side and watched, not even daring to breathe loudly, afraid that he would disturb Doctor Sun’s movements. However, his face was already covered in tears.
“Miss Li!” Madam Zhang, who was cleaning Li Xiangjun’s lower body, suddenly exclaimed, “Doctor! Doctor! Miss Li is bleeding out!”
Fang Tianliu quickly looked at Li Xiangjun’s face. Her face was pale and her breathing was shallow.
“Fang…” Li Xiangjun felt that her consciousness was getting more and more muddled, and the strength in her body was gradually dissipating. She couldn’t even see Fang Tianliu’s face clearly, “I went to Bei City to… For you, please forgive me. ”
“Doctor Sun! Save her! I want her to live! I want her!
“Xiangjun!”
Doctor Sun inserted the last two silver needles, took out a pill from the medicine box, and stuffed it into Li Xiangjun’s mouth. Then, he inserted more needles into her waist and abdomen.
He didn’t even have the time to pay attention to Fang Tianliu’s plea.
Madam Zhang had been delivering babies for many years, and it wasn’t as if she hadn’t seen a miserable scene before. However, at this moment, she was still deeply moved by the scene in front of her. She turned her head to look at the child that had just been born.
“Xiangjun,” Fang Tianliu called out, his finger occasionally touching Li Xiangjun’s nose. “You’ll be fine.”
“Waa-”
A tender, soft, cat-like cry rang out.
Madam Zhang’s heart felt comfort from the noise. “She’s alive, Fang Tianliu. Your daughter is breathing.”
She didn’t dare to touch the silver needles on the baby, so she stood at the side and reminded him.
Fang Tianliu didn’t even turn his head. He kept looking at Li Xiangjun’s side profile and said gently, “Did you hear that? Our daughter is waiting for you. If you don’t wake up, who will be her mother? I can’t even take care of you. Are you sure you can leave our child in my care? Xiangjun, open your eyes and take a look. Wake up. Listen to the child’s cries. She’s calling for us.”
Li Xiangjun’s heaving chest slowly faded as he spoke.
Fang Tianliu’s eyes were red as he looked at Doctor Sun. All he could do was repeatedly beg for mercy, “Doctor Sun! I’m begging you! Save her, please, do anything!”
“I’ve already tried my best… Miss Li had a hemorrhage during labor and lost too much blood in a short amount of time. Although I’ve already used silver needles to help her stop the bleeding, it’ll depend on her luck whether she can stop the bleeding or not.”
The well-sealed room reeked of blood.
Madam Zhang wiped out a basin of bloody water and brought it out to change the clean water.
After a while, Li Xiangjun seemed to be exhaling more than she was inhaling. Fang Tianliu couldn’t believe his eyes. She looked a little better now.
“Doctor Sun, is there any other way to help her? She can’t keep bleeding like this. I’ll give her my blood if I have to.”
Doctor Sun shook his head weakly. “It’s up to Miss Li now. After she gave birth, her vitality dropped. It must have been hard for her to safely give birth to a child.”
