1916: A Difficult Birth

A Difficult Birth

"Yes, yes, yes. Wait for me. I'll have to learn from you," Jiang Yao said, amused. However, Luo Ruoran was right. Even though she was a doctor, she did not have as much experience as Luo Ruoran.2

Jiang Yao had planned to stay at Gu Haoyu's place for two days, but Wen Xuehui had to return to the school on the first afternoon. Meanwhile, Lin Techeng and the others had returned home, and Gu Haoyu was so busy that he did not have time to see Jiang Yao. She was alone, so she brought Big Ke and Ah Lu to visit Luo Ruoran a day earlier.

Jiang Yao overheard the aftermath of the incident involving the kidnapping of conference attendees while waiting for the plane.

Someone contacted the research institutes and their governments to ask for a hefty ransom, or they would kill all those individuals.

Jiang Yao could hear people discussing it all across the departure hall. She did not pay much attention to it. Then, someone mentioned Changkang Group. They said that it was a stroke of luck that Changkang Group's team had been chased away by the organizers.

Jiang Yao dialed Luo Ruoran's number before boarding the plane, but no one answered. She assumed Luo Ruoran was sleeping, so she ignored it. In any case, she already knew Luo Ruoran's address. She would phone her when she got off the plane. It would be nice to surprise Luo Ruoran.

Jiang Yao dozed quickly during the two-hour flight. The plane touched down safely on the ground. She called Luo Ruoran after she got her luggage.

That time, someone answered Luo Ruoran's phone, but it was not Luo Ruoran. Instead, it was Luo Ruoran's husband.

"Ruoran had an accident two hours ago and was sent to the delivery room. She's still in the delivery room."

"What?!"

Jiang Yao almost hurled her phone out the window. How could she be in an accident? She had been perfectly fine. Was it for real? What had happened? "Which hospital is she in? I'm at the airport. I'll get a cab and head there right away."

Luo Ruoran had been fine when Jiang Yao called her the previous day. She did not expect something to happen to Luo Ruoran in just one day.

"It's a difficult birth. The doctors in the hospital are doing their best to save her, but they might not be able to save the child."

Even though Jiang Yao had never seen Luo Ruoran's husband, she could hear the anxiety in the man's tone.

"Tell me the address, and I'll go there immediately."

Jiang Yao frowned and turned around to speak with Big Ke. "We have to rush to the hospital."

The three drove to the airport in a cab. They urged the cab driver along the way and finally arrived at the hospital in half an hour.

If not for her stomach, Jiang Yao would have flown into the operating theater.

"What's the situation? How long has she been in there? Did the doctor say anything?"

Jiang Yao saw Mrs. Luo, who thought she had seen her savior. "Yaoyao, please save Ruoran. It doesn't matter if the child is gone. My daughter must live."

"Auntie, don't worry. I'll find the doctor to understand the situation." When Jiang Yao saw a nurse come out of the delivery room, she immediately walked toward the nurse and asked, "How's the situation with Luo Ruoran? Tell me the specifics now. I'm also a doctor. The more detailed, the better!"
