Chapter 942 - The Small Bracelet for the Baby (1/2)

Zhou Yao frown and his body emitted a cold and stern aura. “What do you mean?”

“Major General, a pregnant woman’s physique is extremely fragile and sensitive, so we need to spend a lot of energy and time to take care of a pregnant woman. However, sister-in-law had probably been in a state of vigilance for a long time during pregnancy. Such a state is very harmful to both the fetus and the mother. Just now, sister-in-law even had a subtle contraction.”

“Contraction?”

“Yes, contractions occur when a pregnant woman is about to give birth.”

“Impossible,” Zhou Yao pursed his thin lips. “She’s only eight and a half months pregnant.”

“Major General, that’s the problem. Sister-in-law is only eight and a half months pregnant. Logically speaking, she can’t have contractions. I have two bold guesses. First, sister-in-law’s contractions started recently. Sister-in-law didn’t even realize it herself. This is what I meant when I said there were signs of premature labor. Second…” the female military doctor looked towards Zhou Yao.

“Speak!”

“Second, sister-in-law’s contractions have been happening for a long time. Scorpion must have used some medicinal herbs to keep the baby alive. If this is the case, then the use of such medicinal herbs must be continued.”

Zhou Yao’s handsome features turned serious. His brows furrowed and said nothing.

“Major General, you should go and ask sister-in-law. Only by asking will we know which kind of situation it is. Then we can treat it accordingly. If it’s the first case, Major General should immediately request medical assistance. Although I’m a doctor, I’m not an obstetrician. Once sister-in-law gives birth prematurely, there will be too many complications for me to handle. If it’s the second case, then Major General needs to talk to Scorpion. Scorpion must not die.”

After half a second of silence, Zhou Yao nodded. “I understand.”

He started walking back to the room with his long legs. Xiao Zhi was waiting behind him. “Major General.”

Zhou Yao said in a low voice, “Contact the safety control center here immediately. Request obstetricians with excellent medical skills. Also, call my big brother, Young Master Lu. I need Doctor Zhou’s help.”

Military doctors were accompanying them during battles, but there were no obstetricians. He did not know that she was pregnant, so he did not make any preparations.

Signs of fetal malposition and premature delivery were serious matters. She may go into labor at any time, which meant danger was unpredictable. So they were fighting against time. For now, Zhou Yao could only request for some local foreign doctors. He knew that Zhou Dayuan’s medical skills outranked all others. But Zhou Dayuan was too far away at the time and it would take a while before he arrives. Therefore, Zhou Yao made two arrangements.

Even though he had made two arrangements, he still felt uneasy and scared. Eight and a half months of premature delivery meant that her life would be in danger. It would also be challenging for the child to make it.

The worst-case scenario was… one corpse and two lives.

He did not dare to think any further. The saying goes that a woman in labor was a woman passing by the gates of death. He only now realized the truth in that.

Also, which of the two situations was it? Did she have signs of miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy? Was it Scorpion who had been using medicinal herbs to aid her pregnancy?

If that was the case, he needed to negotiate with Scorpion.

The female military doctor was right. Scorpion could not die, and Zhou Yao would not let Scorpion die.

…

In the room, Zhou Yao opened the door and walked in. There was no one on the bed. Leng Zhiyuan was standing barefoot on the floor, bending over to pick up something from the floor.

The bump on her stomach was quite obvious, so it was difficult for her to bend over.

“Why are you out of bed and barefoot?” Zhou Yao immediately walked over and carried the woman in his arms.

To prevent herself from falling, Leng Zhiyuan reached out an arm and hugged his neck. The man’s face looked sterned. His facial features were tense, and even his tone was very serious.

She was stunned.

Zhou Yao quickly realized that he was speaking too loudly. He tried his best to explain with a gentle expression, “Sorry, my tone was very harsh just now. That’s because you’ll catch a cold if you’re barefoot. You are in the third trimester already, so you have to take care of yourself. If you dropped something on the ground, ask me to get it for you.”
