Chapter 947 - Congratulations, It’s a Boy (1/2)

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.
