Chapter 1459: Great to Have You (19)
Mu Wansheng had to wait a long while before she could be transferred to another ward. However, there was another patient in her new ward.
Hence, there was nowhere for Tang Yucheng to sleep. He told Mu Wansheng that he would be checking into an inn near the hospital. After he left, Mu Wansheng tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep at all.
She constantly wondered if Zuo Xingwei will spread the news about her being alive. But since he’s already agreed, he probably wouldn’t tell on me, would he?
I’ve known him for so long, he doesn’t seem to be a blabbermouth.
She could not help but feel terrified whenever she recalled the moment that he recognized her.
Fortunately, it was Zuo Xingwei and not someone else. If it were him...
She dared not imagine the consequences.
She was willing to show her face to anyone except Fan Shixin.
Mu Wansheng pulled the duvet up and forced herself to stop letting her imagination run wild. She convinced herself that everything would be better after she’d slept on it.
When the doctor was doing his rounds in the morning, he asked, “Mu Wansheng, your husband slept on the chairs outside the corridor last night. Doesn’t he feel cold at all?”
“The corridor outside? He told me that he had checked into a inn nearby,” Mu Wansheng said in surprise.
“Seems like he did it for the sake of saving money.”
The doctor’s words struck a sour note within her. She got out of bed slowly and walked toward the door. As soon as she exited, she ran into Tang Yucheng.
“Happy, where are you going?”
“To look for you. Yucheng, the doctor has already told me everything. Why did you sleep in the corridor last night? It’s so cold. I know you did it for the sake of saving money, but it’s not worth it if you catch a cold. If you catch a cold, you’d have to spend more money on medical bills. Even if you sleep on the floor in the ward, there’ll at least be a heater to warm you up.”
Seeing that she was really angry, he said, “I won’t do it again. Alright?”
“Yes, don’t do it again.”
“I’ll buy a duvet today and sleep beside you tonight so that I can look after you and the child.”
Mu Wansheng nodded, knowing that she would definitely need him to take care of her after the surgery.
She was pushed into the operating theater at ten o’clock in the morning.
Tang Yucheng instructed the nurse to bring the blanket in while he waited outside the theater anxiously.
He was extremely worried because he knew the major risks involved during childbirth, especially since it was a surgery.
Mu Wansheng was initially very worried as well. However, she stopped worrying the moment she lay on top of the operating table.
My life is already horrendous enough. Nothing could be worse than that.
Besides, I’ve once had a close shave with death.
There’s nothing for me to be afraid of anymore.
Cesarean sections and natural birth each had their own pros and cons.
When the doctors held her down to stabilize her body during the administration of the anesthesia, Mu Wansheng was overwhelmed with excruciating pain, even though she had already prepared herself mentally.
Soon, she began to lose sensation below her neck.
She could only feel her stomach being moved, after which the doctor asked, “Does it hurt?”
“Not at all.”
“Try and raise your leg now. Can you do it?”
“I can’t.”
“Don’t fall asleep. Let us know if you feel anything unusual.”
“Alright.”
“We’re going to begin now.”
Mu Wansheng felt the sides of her stomach being moved. However, she did not feel any pain at all.
Soon, a female surgeon said, “10:18 pm. It’s a girl.”
As soon as the surgeon finished speaking, the newborn began wailing loudly in a crisp voice. The surgeon teased, “Ah, what a loud voice she’s got.”
Mu Wansheng smiled. It’s a princess.
She was much relieved to know that her child had been delivered safely.
The nurse carried the newborn out of the theater. Tang Yucheng’s heart melted the moment he carried the newborn over from the nurse’s arm. The newborn was chubby and fair, and her eyes were still closed. How adorable.
“It’s a girl. She weighs four kilograms.”
Tang Yucheng was over the moon. Although the infant wasn’t his biological daughter, he really considered her as his own.
“Hello, my dearest daughter, you’re my precious gem. Nurse, how’s my wife?”
“They’re sewing her up now. She’ll be pushed to the ward after the procedures are completed. You may wait for her inside the ward. Don’t let the child catch a cold.”
“It’s alright, we’ll wait for my wife to get out,” he said, carrying his daughter, who had been wrapped inside the blanket he had sewn for her using premium-grade cotton. Hence, it was enough to keep her snug and warm.
He would occasionally look down at her.
When Mu Wansheng was pushed out of the ward, Tang Yucheng asked, “Happy, how do you feel?”
“I’m alright. Where’s the baby?”
“I’m carrying her in my arms.”
Mu Wansheng stayed silent while the nurse pushed her into the ward. The nurse then quickly spread a sheet of blue wax fabric over the bed, followed by a thick layer of tissues. When Mu Wansheng lay down on the bed, the nurse placed a sachet of salt on Mu Wansheng’s wound.
It was used to stop the bleeding.
She then attached the urinal tube to Mu Wansheng’s body and covered her with the duvet. “You can’t eat anything before your airways are cleared. Once they’re clear, you can start drinking some soup.”
“Alright, thank you.” Tang Yucheng then placed the infant beside Mu Wansheng and allowed her to caress the infant’s face.
The infant seemed just like a peeled egg to Mu Wansheng. She remarked gleefully, “She’s so tiny.”
“She’s really fair and beautiful.”
“She was just born a while ago. How could you tell that she’s beautiful? Her features are yet to develop.”
“I just think she’s beautiful. Look after her while I go make her some milk.”
“Alright.” Mu Wansheng held the infant in her arms, feeling satisfied and at ease.
She was pleased with the way her life was currently.
After being hospitalized for five days, Mu Wansheng was discharged on the 8th of February.
Tang Yucheng carried the infant while she walked together with Snowman. However, she had to bend forward because of the immense pain from her wounds.
Although there was only a short distance between the ward and the entrance, it still took them a long time.
Tang Yucheng hailed a taxi and spread the duvet across the seat so as to prevent Mu Wansheng’s wound from becoming aggravated. She had always known that he was meticulous.
They returned home to see that there were other people around.
They were Tang Yucheng’s brother and sister-in-law.
“Brother, Sis-in-law, hurry and come inside.”
Tang Yucheng’s sister-in-law was warm and friendly. She quickly held Mu Wansheng and said, “Kangcheng and I only found out yesterday that you were going into labor. Brother didn’t tell us anything. We’ve cooked some rice and dishes for you guys. We were waiting for you to get home.”
Mu Wansheng thanked her and said, “It’s been hard on you, Sis-in-law.”
“Don’t mention it, we’re family.”
