Chapter 657 - The Delivery (1/2)

Lauriel arrived three hours later with a box of two small bottles of greenish and clear liquid. He had borrowed a laboratory in the hospital and worked there with Rune's help after obtaining all the materials he needed.

The clock showed 12 noon and the doctor was still observing L's condition and her pregnancy. When they found London and L were sleeping in the room, they let the two rest and tried to do the examination as quietly as possible.

After getting the latest analysis, Dr. Muller then came out to Jan to discuss the next step. They believed the baby in the w.o.m.b had to be f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y born in a few hours.

”We don't know what to do in this situation.” He looked very haggard and sad. L's current situation was the condition least expected by any doctor in the world, choosing a mother or child to be saved. ”Madam's condition has improved a little, but we're not sure of the percentage of her success in giving birth normally. Her heart isn't strong enough... Meanwhile, if it's a cesarean, we don't dare to do it.”

Patients who were allergic to anesthesia could experience anaphylactic shock attacks which can result in death if the doctor insisted on giving him or her an anesthetic injection before surgery.

Jan turned to Lauriel, who had just arrived, and tried to ask for his opinion.

”What's your opinion, Sir?” he asked.

”We can treat her first,” Lauriel said curtly. ”I've made the medicine for her to take now. Can you give this to her?”

He handed the bottle of green liquid to Dr. Muller. The middle-aged man received it with a confused face.

”What... medicine is this?” he asked in surprise. ”Is there a certification from the Ministry of Health, or...?”

Lauriel just laughed and shook his head. ”The longer you delay, the more dangerous the patient's condition will be. It's better not to ask too many questions. Give the entire contents of this bottle to her.”

Dr. Muller somehow wasn't offended being treated like that by a man who appeared to be so young, even though he himself was almost 60 years old. When Lauriel looked at him, Doctor Muller felt as if he was dealing with someone who was very authoritative and immediately felt like he was small.

He didn't ask again and nodded respectfully at Lauriel then went to the patient room.

London opened his eyes when he felt L's body move. He heard a sigh and hurriedly got up and sat on the bed.

”What happened to you?” he asked in a very worried voice.

L seemed to be trembling, holding her stomach. Her face showed an extremely vivid expression of enduring severe pain, but she tried her best not to scream.

”My stomach... It hurts so much...” Her tears flooded unbearably.

London hurriedly got out of bed and put on his shoes then ran out of the room. He almost bumped into Doctor Muller, who was about to enter a patient's room with two nurses.

”Doctor... L complained that her stomach hurt...” he said worriedly, shaking the doctor's shoulder.

”Fine... fine, Sir.” Dr. Muller half-ran toward L and signaled the nurse to hold the medicine bottle in his hand. He then checked L's condition, and after five minutes, he looked at London with a face of regret.

”The Madam has just experienced a contraction and the baby is getting weak.  She must be induced immediately.”

”Wait, has my uncle given the medicine to L?” London quickly asked. He had seen the medicine in Dr. Muller's hands. ”Let's treat L first. Hurry...!!”

Doctor Muller was about to say something, but seeing London's undoubtedly firm expression, he signaled the nurse to give the medicine to the patient.
