Chapter 947: Congratulations, It’s a Boy

Zhou Yao held her cold little hand tightly in his palm. He wanted to give her some warmth. “Honey, it’s okay. Don’t be afraid. I’m here. I’m back…”

His voice trembled.

Leng Zhiyuan parted her lips and said weakly, “I’ve been… waiting for you. Save my… child…”

“Yes, I’ll save him! I’ll save him!” Zhou Yao kissed the back of her hand firmly. “Our child will be fine. He’ll come to this world safely.”

“Mmm,” Leng Zhiyuan nodded. “You… do a C-section…”

A C-section?

Zhou Yao was shocked by her words. He reached out his big palm and stroke her hair, which was wet with sweat. He shook his head, “The conditions here are not ideal. There will be bleeding after a C-section. You have already lost so much blood. There is no plasma here… the wound will also be infected. There is no anesthetic either. It will be very painful…” He was incoherent with his words, his speech was confusing.

At this moment, his large palm was held by her small hand. She held it tightly. “It’s too late. My stomach has hardened. Without a C-section, this child will be gone. He is my child…”

“But, but when the child is taken out, what about you?” Zhou Yao bent down and held his nose against her cold little face. “You and the child are my lifelines. I can’t live without either of you.”

He rubbed against her face like a needy little stray dog that had been abandoned by its owner. His short hair poked her chin, causing her pain and itchiness.

She slowly curled her lips, and two streams of hot tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. “Zhou Yao, I can’t do it anymore. I can’t give birth. Even if… the child is not taken out, I will still… die…”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” He reprimanded her in a stern and low voice. “Don’t say the word ‘Die.'”

“Zhou Yao, accept the reality, okay? I beg you, I’m begging you. The child can… be saved…” Leng Zhiyuan begged him in a whisper.

Zhou Yao frowned. He didn’t want to perform a C-section. He didn’t want anything to happen to her. But he knew that she might… really… not be able to hold on. If he hesitated any longer, both the adult and the child will die.

He didn’t know what to do.

These two were his lifelines. He couldn’t lose either of them.

“Major General,” the female military doctor said solemnly, “Just now, we stopped sister-in-law’s bleeding. Sister-in-law can… hold on until the end of the surgery… we can’t hesitate anymore. Sister-in-law’s stomach has hardened. The child is already deprived of oxygen. We… we can’t just do nothing…”

Zhou Yao slowly raised his head and opened his eyes. His entire eye sockets were bloodshot. His eyes were filled with grief and despair. He looked at her and said, “Honey, I… can’t…”

He had been unyielding all his life. The word “Cannot” had never appeared in his vocabulary. But at this moment, he really couldn’t do it.

Leng Zhiyuan’s delicate eyes were very gentle. “Zhou Yao, I… believe in you. This child is yours. Now, you, the father, will personally bring him to this world… you can do it…”

Zhou Yao quickly lowered his eyelids. He nodded and kept nodding. Only in this way could he give himself courage. “It will hurt very much. Bite on the pillow towel. If it hurts, just scream…”

He brought a pillow towel to her mouth.

“Okay.”

Zhou Yao stood up and took the scalpel from the female military doctor. “We can start.”

The female military doctor nodded solemnly and handed him a pair of white gloves.

…

The surgery began. Zhou Yao resisted the trembling of his heart and removed her clothes, revealing her sharp belly. He recalled that not long ago, the two of them were still sleeping on this bed. He even touched her big palm with his big palm, the child inside was very naughty and interacted with him…

But now, he needed to take him out with a C-section.

A C-section required anesthesia behind the back, but there was no anesthesiologist here, not the ideal condition at all. With one cut, one could imagine the pain she would feel.

Zhou Yao couldn’t raise his head to look at her. He blinked several times and began the operation…

Leng Zhiyuan bit the pillow towel tightly. When the scalpel cut into her skin, her whole body trembled. She wanted to jump up from the bed, but she suppressed herself and did not move. She was afraid that Zhou Yao would be distracted.

When a person was in extreme pain, they’d become numb anyway. The pillow tore and she bit her own lips. The taste of blood filled her mouth.

She raised her head and looked at the man standing next to her. He was really tall. He was 6’2″ and stood in front of her, blocking all the light. All she could see was his tall and handsome silhouette.

He was in the middle of the surgery. Although he said that he couldn’t do it, his movements were now steady and fast. He seemed to be such a person, the kind that made her feel inexplicably at ease.

Leng Zhiyuan felt very sweet and satisfied. Looking at him, she seemed to be able to forget all the pain.

She loved him, right?

It was a shame that she couldn’t remember him.

At this moment, the female military doctor said in surprise, “The child’s out!”

Leng Zhiyuan was shocked. She wanted to get up and take a look at the baby, but she couldn’t move. Her body was numb from the pain, it didn’t respond to her commands.

Xiao Zhi quickly went forward, wiped the tears off his face, and said with a smile, “Major General, sister-in-law, congratulations. It’s a boy.”

“But, why doesn’t the baby cry?” The female military doctor was puzzled. She stretched out her hand to feel the baby’s breath, and then said in a surprise, “Major General, the baby doesn’t seem to be breathing.”

Zhou Yao was shocked. His white gloves were stained with blood. He pressed on Leng Zhiyuan’s bleeding wound with one palm. Then, he looked at the boy in the female military doctor’s arms and said, “Lift him upside down.”

“Yes.” The female military doctor carried the baby upside down.

Bam! Zhou Yao directly slapped his little buttocks.

Xiao Zhi was shocked. The baby was so small. The Major General’s slap was too hard. Ahhh, the baby started to cry. The cry of the eight-month-old premature baby was soft like a kitten’s, but this cry filled the entire room with joy.

Seeing that the baby was safe, Leng Zhiyuan smiled gently. “Let me… see…”

“Sister-in-law, this kid’s strong. He probably held his breath just now, but the Major General’s slap opened up his breathing. I can tell he’s about six pounds from holding him. He’s not a light one. It seems that he absorbed nutrition well while inside his mommy.” The female military doctor wrapped the baby in a blanket, then, she placed him beside Leng Zhiyuan.

Leng Zhiyuan looked sideways. The baby’s skin was red and wrinkled. In the past, she often heard people talk about white and chubby boys. Now that she had given birth, she realized that newborn babies were not the best looking.

She looked at the baby’s facial features. He really looked like that man. He would be handsome and decent in the future. Now, the baby was crying very hard. His small face was red from crying. It’s as if he was complaining to her that his father had hit him too hard.

It was great. Her baby was born safely.

She closed her eyes and gently kissed the baby’s tiny cheek. Ding! Ding! Ding! The bells rang. She placed the little red bracelet in the baby’s blanket.

She smiled weakly but contentedly. “Baby, mommy loves you.”
