Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 723 - 718: Retribution

The female doctor held the induction needle in her hand, hesitating to administer it.

Xu He, seeing this, feared that Duan Fenghua might burst in any moment, and immediately urged the doctor, "Doctor, hurry, administer the induction needle. Today is the deadline, the baby must be born."

The female doctor hesitated, looked at Xu He, and advised, "Why don’t you think this over? I’m afraid there might be danger later, and I, as a doctor, have responsibilities."

"We don’t have an agreement that requires you to take responsibility. I will bear all consequences. Stop dithering," Xu He retorted, seeing that the doctor still hesitated. She glanced outside, lowered her voice, and with a hint of anger, said, "If you really refuse, then according to the contract, pay me double, and I’ll find someone else. If you won’t do it, someone else will."

Faced with the possibility of paying double, the doctor naturally couldn’t afford it and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, okay, get ready, I’m administering the injection now."

The doctor, having no choice, took out the induction needle and administered it to Xu He.

About half an hour after the induction needle was administered, it started to take effect.

Xu He started showing signs of labor, her water broke, and she began to show blood, experiencing waves of pain in her abdomen.

Being her first childbirth, Xu He didn’t know if this was normal and could only cry out in pain, asking the doctor if this was normal.

The doctor, not daring to speak recklessly and seeing that she could still manage the situation for now, said it was normal. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Initially, it actually was normal, as childbirth is inherently painful for women.

However, perhaps because of Xu He’s many misdeeds catching up with her, or perhaps due to her bad luck, when the amniotic fluid was nearly gone, she began to bleed excessively. The doctor examined her cervix, which had indeed dilated; under normal circumstances, she should have been able to deliver smoothly.

But for Xu He, the child was not coming out.

The doctor asked Xu He to cooperate. Xu He was in pain for a long time, but the baby in her belly just wouldn’t come out.

In such a situation, a doctor from a small clinic was obviously out of her depth. She was sweating profusely with fear, while Xu He’s face turned pale, having lost a lot of blood, and her strength was fading, leaving her in a semi-conscious state.

Despite the doctor’s greed for money, she was terrified that it might cost lives and immediately went out to call Duan Fenghua, "Your daughter is having a difficult labor, we must rush to the hospital, otherwise, I fear, it might endanger both the mother and the child."

Duan Fenghua, outside, felt chills running down her spine whenever she heard the cries inside. She had thought about calling the Luo Family for support, as having someone by her side might reduce her panic.

But since Xu He told her earlier that the child was for Shuanzi, she didn’t dare act rashly and could only wait.

Hearing the female doctor’s words, she was so frightened that she couldn’t speak for a while, finally managing to ask dryly, "Why is it a difficult birth? Wasn’t she fine just a moment ago?"

"This..." At this moment, the doctor obviously wouldn’t elaborate, she just urged Duan Fenghua, "Just rush her to the hospital quickly, any delay might cost lives."

Duan Fenghua, deeply valuing her daughter as her treasure, upon hearing the doctor, couldn’t care about much else, and immediately let the doctor assist her as she carried Xu He out of the clinic herself.

The doctor also showed some conscience by calling for a car, and they managed to rush Xu He to the hospital as quickly as possible.

At the hospital, due to Duan Fenghua’s loud panicking and seeing Xu He covered in blood and clearly in a critical condition, a doctor immediately came to inquire.

But Duan Fenghua knew nothing, only saying Xu He had a difficult labor.

The doctor asked no further, letting Duan Fenghua pay a fee before taking Xu He into the operating room.

Duan Fenghua waited outside alone, and after about half an hour, a doctor came out of the operation room and inquired, "How many months pregnant is the patient?"

Duan Fenghua truthfully replied, "Over eight months."

The doctor frowned upon hearing this, "Only over eight months, why induce labor?"

"Induce labor?" Duan Fenghua’s heart clenched, recalling Xu He’s suspicious behavior earlier today, and she vaguely understood something but didn’t dare to admit it, instead lying to the doctor, "No, no, she just suddenly had abdominal pain this morning, so I brought her to the hospital."

Hospital doctors, experienced as they are, were sure Xu He had used an induction needle, but seeing Duan Fenghua unwilling to admit it, they did not press further. After all, it wasn’t their responsibility but just informed her of Xu He’s condition, "Let’s discuss this matter later, but comrade, I must clarify, your daughter’s condition is very critical, and her life is at risk any moment. We plan to perform a cesarean section now to extract the baby."

Duan Fenghua had heard of cesarean sections before; although recovery is more challenging than natural birth, it wasn’t anything serious, she immediately agreed, "Okay, proceed with the cesarean section, as long as the doctor can save my daughter, I’ll figure out the money issue."

"Alright." The doctor nodded, called some people over, and instructed to retrieve the baby, but she hadn’t finished speaking, "One more thing is, your daughter has severely damaged her uterus by forcing the labor, after the cesarean section, we need to remove her uterus, and we need a family member’s signature. If you agree, come with me to sign."

Hearing this, Duan Fenghua’s heart sank, her whole body began to tremble, she clearly understood what the doctor meant, but still in disbelief, she asked again, "Remove the uterus, what does that mean?"

The doctor explained in detail for a few moments, but assuming she was not in the mood to listen, simplified, "Simply put, after removing the uterus, your daughter won’t be able to have children anymore."

Upon hearing this, Duan Fenghua staggered, almost fainting, fortunately, the doctor supported her, preventing her from falling, she yelled, "No, my daughter is only in her twenties, she definitely needs to have children in the future."

The doctor, probably used to dealing with such family members, didn’t persuade further, but urged, "If we don’t remove the uterus, your daughter’s life cannot be saved. Weigh it yourself, but decide quickly, otherwise, even if the baby is safely born, your daughter’s life will definitely be at risk, and our hospital won’t take responsibility."

"I..." Duan Fenghua still hesitated to make a decision.

The doctor waited a few minutes, seeing there wasn’t much time left, began to urge again, "Choose whether to save her life or preserve your daughter’s uterus, quickly decide."

Hearing this, Duan Fenghua immediately started crying nervously. As a woman who knew nothing and never made such significant decisions, she didn’t know how to bear the consequences if she made a wrong decision.

But at that moment, consulting anyone else’s opinion was too late, after being urged repeatedly, she finally made a tough decision, "Save... save her life."
