If Yan Jinsi had known that his existence was obtained at the cost of harming his biological sister, he would rather die imdiately.
But his eldest brother told him that Mom was extre, and the whole family could bla her for being irrational, but he alone, he couldn’t ignore his mother’s favoritism towards him.
Even if this favoritism had beco an obsession.
However, the motherly love of Qi Chunlan for Yan Jinsi was indeed real.
Even if her actions were wrong, even if her thoughts were skewed and distorted.
Just as Yan Jinhao and his sister had said, everyone could point out Qi Chunlan’s faults, but he, Yan Jinsi, could not.
Because all of these things started because of him.
Now recalling what his sister had said to him, he indeed felt self-bla and guilt in his heart.
However, in the past two months, after having provided psychological counseling for Qi Chunlan, today, they finally mustered the courage to co and visit the sister... Who knew that they would encounter such an incident!
What surprised him even more was that after reflecting, when his biological daughter was in danger, Mom could still stand in front of Zhang Shan Ni to protect her—such behavior relieved Yan Jinsi’s mind.
The mother herself was indeed thinking wrongly, but wasn’t there a bit of responsibility for them, her relatives, who did not take care of her feelings, and didn’t promptly notice her despair and extre actions?
Thinking this way, it wasn’t only Yan Jinsi, but also the twin brothers Yan Jinhao and Yan Jinchang.
With Qi Chunlan’s ’motherly’ act today, it finally dissolved the cold indifference in these children’s hearts, and they felt once again that Qi Chunlan was not beyond redemption.
Who could be free of mistakes? The most important thing is to be able to recognize and correct them.
And on the other side, Yan Dongsheng, upon hearing his eldest son say that he was bringing his wife and younger son to the county town of X, beca very restless, then simply went back to the family ancestral ho to accompany Elder Yan.
As Yan Jinhao called in, he was playing chess with Elder Yan, and when he heard the guard say it was an urgent telegram from his eldest son, his face stiffened, he snatched the small note from his hand. Seeing that his wife was injured and his daughter was prematurely born, his face turned black and suddenly rigid.
Elder Yan let out a distressed "cough," then looked up at his son whose face was changing, "What happened?"
As he spoke, he had already snatched the note from his son’s hand—
Yan Dongsheng ca back to his senses upon hearing Elder Yan’s question, and when he wanted to snatch back the note, it was already a step too late.
...
Zhang Shan Ni, in the delivery room, was in so much pain she just wanted to get off the bed and declare she was not going to give birth!
The waves of pain assaulted her one after another, relentless, just when she caught her breath, an even more intense pain would strike, drenching her entire body in sweat, her little face so pale from the pain.
She didn’t know how much ti had passed when she heard a familiar female voice, slow and calm. After listening carefully for a while, she realized it was her attending physician, Director Hu.
Hearing her voice, Zhang Shanni montarily regained clarity, comforted by the presence of a familiar person. Her heart eased a bit, but she was still tense, suffering from the onslaught of pain!
Now, about to give birth, she dared not relax. The sudden appearance of Qi Chunlan and Yan Jinsi in her mind made her head ache... How was she supposed to tell Director Hu about preserving her umbilical cord blood at this ti?
But there was no other way now; this was an unexpected preterm birth. All the plans she had made were now useless. Only after the pain of contractions subsided slightly, she clenched Director Hu’s hand, gritted her teeth, and moved her lips, "Director Hu!"
"I’m here, Shanni, take deep breaths, don’t be afraid. Your cervix is dilating quickly, just a few more centiters and you can deliver! Stay alert, breathe deeply, exhale slowly..."
Director Hu had just finished checking Zhang Shanni’s abdon and cervix. Although she was bleeding a bit more, Zhang Shanni was in good condition; the amount of bleeding was still manageable for her body, and the amniotic fluid situation was stable. With her current dilation rate, she would definitely be able to endure until normal delivery.
"Whew..." Zhang Shanni managed to catch her breath, pulled Doctor Hu a little closer, and whispered a plea:
"Doctor Hu, please help preserve the umbilical cord blood, make sure it doesn’t get contaminated..." Although Zhang Shanni did not trust the preservation technology of this era, she had no other choice now but to rely on Director Hu, the only person she had a connection with.
Director Hu was caught off guard by Zhang Shanni’s request, but seeing her in such pain and still making this demand, she nodded imdiately to comfort the patient, "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure it’s taken care of properly."
Director Hu thought of Zhang Shanni’s relatives from the Yan family, nodded thoughtfully, and considering her sudden labor, she promptly agreed.
There might be an important reason for her request, and although Doctor Hu didn’t understand it, as a dical professional, it was her duty to fulfill the patient’s wishes.
In the hospital, Zhang Shanni’s request was certainly achievable.
Zhang Shanni heard Director Hu agree but before she could even express her gratitude, she was suddenly overco with a wave of convulsions, causing her face to crinkle with pain. If it weren’t for her rembrance to release Director Hu’s wrist, she might have injured her.
"Ugh, ah—" The pain forced an instinctive cry out of Zhang Shanni.
The young nurse stood by Zhang Shanni’s side, watching as the tal rail on the bedside started to deform, and let out a sharp gasp. However, nobody noticed this amidst Zhang Shanni’s cries of pain.
Outside the ward, Xie Jingchen stood like a statue at the entrance of the delivery room, unable to hear any sounds from inside.
It was Zhang Shanni’s low cry that heightened his hearing to ’abnormal’ levels, finally allowing him to hear faint noises, reassuring him sowhat that his little wife was still conscious.
Unfortunately, the corridor outside the delivery room and the actual delivery chamber were still so distance apart, and the sounds from inside were too far and faint. Even though Xie Jingchen concentrated all his attention there, the distance was too great and the door muffled the sounds, allowing him only to vaguely make out the quiet noises.
It was only Zhang Shanni’s panicked cry that allowed Xie Jingchen to truly hear her voice.
With this cry of pain, Xie Jingchen’s mind was pulled back sowhat. Seeing his own father and younger brother had even brought the children, he frowned and took a step back to speak to his parents, who looked pale:
"Dad, Mom, we don’t know when Ni will give birth, she might be hungry right after, why don’t you two go back, rest a bit, and bring her so postpartum als?"
Xie Jingchen understood his parents’ feelings, hence his persuasive words hit ho. Then he turned to his younger brother and sister, "Ni hasn’t given birth yet, you first take Dad and the kids back. See if there’s anything that needs to be fetched or prepared, get it ready, and it’s best to rest for a while before coming back."
"I..." Zhou Xiuhua wanted to object, but on second thought, she realized her daughter really didn’t know how to prepare the postpartum als, and that task was up to her! The words she was about to speak ceased, and she nodded instead.
