Chapter 226: Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Five

“She’s given birth, she’s given birth.” The An Family sighed with relief as Su Wenyue finally delivered the child and happily exclaimed. Yet, the midwife’s face showed traces of tension. After waiting for a while without hearing the child’s cries, everyone then felt that something wasn’t quite right.

“Doctor Lin, come quickly and see what’s the matter with the child, why there’s no movement, not even a whimper.” The An Family urgently asked. The child, whom her daughter had risked her life to deliver, better not have any complications.

After checking, Doctor Lin said, “The child was choked by the amniotic fluid, they’ve stopped breathing.”

The midwife, no stranger to such situations, confidently turned the child upside down and gently, but firmly, tapped their back. A stream of water gushed from the baby’s mouth, followed by a few soft cries, resembling the meows of a kitten.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to make a sound was good, even if the breath was weak and the body didn’t look very strong. With careful nurturing, they would survive and grow.

Only then did the midwife announce the good news: “Congratulations, Master and Madam, you have been blessed with a precious daughter.”

Su Wenyue had been holding on without fainting, wanting to know the condition of her child. Now hearing the midwife’s words, she couldn’t hold on any longer and closed her eyes, falling asleep.

“Doctor Lin, come quickly and check on my wife, is she alright?” Han Yu, delighted that the daughter had also been saved and now with three children connected by blood, became anxious when he saw Su Wenyue faint and insisted that Doctor Lin check her pulse.

Doctor Lin took Su Wenyue’s pulse but his frown deepened instead of telling Han Yu that Su Wenyue was merely resting from exhaustion—a clear sign that there were complications.

While the midwife was tidying up, her expression suddenly turned grave: “It’s not good, the Madam has a postpartum hemorrhage.”

The color drained from the faces of everyone in the room when the midwife spoke. They all knew the meaning of a hemorrhage: if the bleeding could not be stopped promptly, it could be life-threatening, and Su Wenyue had already lost so much blood before.

Han Yu, with a stony expression, watched as Doctor Lin and the midwife hurriedly worked, inserting needles and administering medicine, his heart chilled. He couldn’t bear to think of a life without Su Wenyue, especially now that their child had just been born, yet they faced this twist of fate.

Thankfully, the bleeding finally stopped, but Su Wenyue remained unconscious. Han Yu stayed by her side, too worried to care about anything else. In the military camp, Su Hengyi had already asked for leave on Han Yu’s behalf, avoiding more troubles.

“Son-in-law, you should at least eat something and rest for a while. Guarding Lady Yue like this, without eating, drinking, or resting, when she wakes up, you won’t be able to hold up,” the An Family reasoned with Han Yu. He ate without tasting anything, but he refused to rest, staying beside Su Wenyue, in case of any emergency.

At that time, Su Wenyue was trapped in a nightmare, things from her previous life vague and looming, people and events, one by one, causing her immense pain from which she couldn’t free herself. A pained expression crossed her face, and tears slid down her cheeks.

Han Yu noticed immediately: “Lady Yue, what’s wrong? Wake up, wake up!”
