Chapter 968 - 966: Massive Hemorrhage

The cozy pink bedroom, Candy and Zero stared each other down.

If you ignored the bed that was split in half, the girl’s pink was almost in perfect condition.

Seeing Zero unfazed, Candy put her hands on her hips and pleaded, "Zero, please help me lift it a bit."

"It’s not my pocket money. Besides, this doesn’t seem like you’re asking for my help."

With no choice since the box was indeed quite heavy, Candy had to smile sweetly and say, "Come on, Zero, help me out."

Zero shrugged his neck and chuckled dismissively, "Move aside, I can do it alone. Didn’t I tell you to eat more normally, now that you need strength, you realize you don’t have enough?"

Candy just smiled without a word at that.

She decided to let Zero help move the savings box next door first. Arguing with Zero now would be silly, right?

When Candy finished her tasks and went downstairs to eat, she found her brother and sister-in-law already eating.

Seeing no extra bowl or chopsticks on the table, Candy couldn’t help but purse her lips. She knew without guessing or asking that it was definitely her brother’s idea.

Most likely, her sister-in-law had already put the chopsticks and bowl on the table, only for her brother to take them back.

Candy clearly understood her brother’s little thoughts.

Entering the kitchen, Candy, as usual, opened the cabinet, and the next second, she was stunned.

In that small cabinet, her bowl was nowhere to be seen.

Annoyed, Candy stood at the kitchen doorway, clasped her hands submissively, and said, "Brother, I’m very flexible, where are my eating utensils."

Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun replied calmly without turning his head, "You’re a grown-up, yet still use a plastic bowl meant for little kids."

Candy raised an eyebrow, a bit unsure, and asked, "Brother, don’t tell me you put a cracked bowl in the display cabinet in your study as a showpiece."

"What do you know? It’s called art. It’s a keepsake. When you get married one day and see these things, you’ll be deeply moved."

Feeling resigned, Candy sighed, lamenting the unfair world. Why in her generation, all kinds of embarrassing childhood moments are captured in high-definition video?

Isn’t this just setting up the kids for embarrassment?

Especially her brother. Candy couldn’t understand why he often took mundane little things and treasured them like precious collections.

What could she say? She shook her head and resignedly got a ceramic bowl to serve a bowl of white rice porridge.

No matter when you come, the hospital always reeks of the smell of disinfectant. After getting out of the car, Mo Jingchun and the group headed straight to the inpatient department.

The county hospital’s inpatient department is behind the emergency building, with a particularly wide corridor connecting the two buildings.

Entering through the main entrance of the emergency building, Mo Jingchun and Candy instinctively glanced at the operating room at the end of the hallway.

Just a glance, and they acted as if nothing had happened and continued walking forward.

Their little actions were noticed by the observant Li Xuanyu, but Li Xuanyu didn’t think much of it.

It was just an operating room; she too had curiously looked at it earlier.

Ten minutes later, after wandering around several times, Mo Jingchun and the others finally found Zhou Yaling’s ward.

The ward door was open, and before entering, Mo Jingchun could already hear Zhou Yaling’s voice.

It was the sound of talking while eating.

Carrying a fruit basket and a bouquet of flowers, Candy was the first to rush into the ward.

"Sister, we’ve come to see you."

"Oh~ my dear Candy, I’ve missed you so much. Hahaha, I don’t ask for much, just hope the baby will be as cute as you were when you were little."

"Well... that might be a bit difficult. I was both cute and well-behaved as a child."

Mo Jingchun walked in at this moment and heard Candy’s words, smiling, he said, "You’re shameless, praising yourself like that."

After speaking, Mo Jingchun looked at Zhou Yaling, whose belly wasn’t particularly large, "How are you feeling?"

At these words, Zhou Yaling took a bite of the apple in her hand and calmly said, "I don’t feel much. I’m just worried because my belly is so small; the baby might not even be five pounds."

"Then you should ask Mom; I don’t know."

"Why isn’t Aunt here?"

"She went to get water."

Shrugging, Zhou Yaling jokingly said, "Brother, I’m considering getting an epidural; what do you think?"

At these words, the ward fell a bit silent. Mo Jingchun glanced sideways at his mother, whose smile had become a bit stiff, and at the slightly awkward Qian Zhubin.

It seemed that whether or not to get an epidural was a point of disagreement in this family.

And Zhou Yaling wasn’t simple either, deliberately asking him.

However, Mo Jingchun did not immediately respond to Zhou Yaling’s question, instead asking, "What did the doctor say? What’s the recommendation?"

At this, Zhou Yaling knew it was hopeless.

Shrugging her shoulders, Zhou Yaling took a vigorous bite out of her apple, with a hint of unwillingness in her voice, "The doctor recommended a natural birth and to see if an epidural would be needed when the time comes."

"Then let’s listen to the doctor."

"I knew it." Zhou Yaling murmured softly to herself.

At this moment, Qian Zhubin and his mother breathed a sigh of relief. Especially Qian Zhubin, who didn’t really understand which was better, but trusted the doctor’s judgment.

With Mo Jingchun’s influence, the hospital certainly provided the best solution.

According to the due date, Zhou Yaling was expected to deliver within these two days, but the baby inside kept everyone guessing. Zhou Yaling stayed in the hospital for a whole week before entering the operating room.

When the news came, Mo Jingchun was still over thirty kilometers away at the base, doing final preparations for a controlled nuclear fusion experiment.

Putting the experiment aside, Mo Jingchun immediately instructed Zero to pause the experiment and head to the county hospital.

An hour later, Mo Jingchun was the last to arrive at the hospital; except for Candy who was at school, everyone else was already there.

Seeing the crowd outside the operating room, Mo Jingchun went straight to Li Xuanyu to ask about the situation.

"What’s the status?"

"Not clear yet, the door hasn’t opened."

At this, Mo Jingchun glanced at Qian Zhubin, who was pacing anxiously.

Following Mo Jingchun’s gaze, Li Xuanyu’s mouth twitched, somewhat helplessly saying, "He’s been like that since I arrived. I took away the flowers he had prepared without him noticing."

"That’s good, at least it shows he truly cares for my little sister."

Looking at Mo Jingchun, Li Xuanyu thought, with Zhou Yaling being your sister, she has the backing at her in-laws, who dares to bully her.

Time slowly passed, and night had unknowingly fallen. Having just had a bit of bread to munch on, Mo Jingchun’s expression was somewhat grave, unlike earlier when he was still in the mood to tease Qian Zhubin.

Mo Jingchun glanced at his watch, noting that it had been more than four hours since Zhou Yaling entered the operating room.

Just then, the door of the operating room suddenly opened, and a nurse rushed out, her hands covered in blood.

"Major hemorrhage from the pregnant woman."
