Chapter 792: It wasnst just his efforts (1/2)

Gu Qishao even released Department Head Lin and strode over cheerfully. “Poison lass, this Gu Beiyue can do it! He’s really got hidden depths!”

At least, Gu Qishao would never look down on Gu Beiyue again. Han Yunxi nodded without a word. He examined her then and asked, “What, were you scared witless?”

He quickly found a chair and helped her to sit, but Han Yunxi only said, “It’s not over yet, what are you so happy for?”

Gu Qishao didn’t understand. He looked towards the four babies and asked, “Aren’t all the babies out?”

“The mother’s still in danger. A lot of complications can happen after childbirth,” Han Yunxi explained, then added, “At least, Gu Beiyue hasn’t come out yet.”

She was admittedly uneasy. If everything was as smooth as it appeared, then Gu Beiyue should have emerged long ago and left the rest of the work to Fourth Young Miss Ren. The medical assistant just then had said that he was just doing acupuncture, not helping with the birth.

“Is there?” Gu Qishao knew little about childbirth. “What kind of complications?”

Han Yunxi was about to explain when a cry a horror came from inside the room. “Ah…!”

It was so loud that it startled everyone outside. Their smiles froze on their faces, and even the crying babies seem to sense something amiss and stop weeping. Without a word, Han Yunxi opened the doors and stepped inside.

“Xiaoyan, what’s wrong?” Clan Head Ren rushed in as well, recognizing the cry as his daughter’s.

Han Yunxi had hardly stepped inside the courtyard when Fourth Young Miss Ren and a group all rushed out. Fourth Young Miss Ren’s hands were covered in blood, her expression terrified. “Blood loss, massive blood loss!”

“She was just fine, but she suddenly started bleeding nonstop! There’s so much blood!”

“She wanted to see her children so I was going to get them, but...but then there was blood. Her whole body’s bleeding, it can’t be stopped!”

The crowd grew alarmed and flustered at her words. The three department heads and various directors all rushed inside with the obstetric specialists until the door was crowded with people. By now, the mother had already cleaned up and changed into fresh clothes, but she was soaked in a pool of blood. It gushed from her like a spring, even from her very pores. Gu Beiyue’s white robes had long been stained scarlet as well. Han Yunxi had never seen him look so serious, much less his forehead covered in so much sweat. He was currently inserting needles into the woman nonstop, but she could tell that his hands were shaking!

Everyone was stunned by the sight. Even the most experienced obstetrics specialists and the three department heads were floored.

How can this be?

They all knew about postpartum haemorrhage, but that kind of bleeding only came from the lower body! How could this woman be bleeding all over? The loss was severe as well, more like a flood than a flow! Just what had happened?

“Gu Beiyue, what did you do?” Department Head Lin suddenly demanded.

Ignoring him, Gu Beiyue asked Gu Qishao, “Do you still have blood generating pills? She can’t hold out much longer.”

“None! The medical academy should have medicine to stop bleeding!” Gu Qishao answered.

Department Head Huo quickly ordered someone to get some, but they had no effect on the woman at all. Instead, she started losing blood faster. Suddenly, Department Head Ouyang cried out.

“The blood’s turning black! Is she poisoned?”

Indeed, the blood coming from the woman’s body was growing darker. Everyone looked towards Han Yunxi, suspecting her to be the culprit!

“What are you looking at?” Han Yunxi fumed. “What good would it do me to poison her? Am I crazy or stupid?”

Indeed, Han Yunxi had no motives to poison the woman. The blood was black because it had stayed in the uterus for too long and changed colors.

“Then...Gu Beiyue, just what did you do?” Department Head Huo’s voice was shaking now. He’d never seen this situation in all his years in medicine.

“It’s amniotic fluid embolism!” Han Yunxi’s voice was shaking as well, but she shouted it out for the sake of shocking the crowd and maintaining her calm.

“The amniotic fluid entered the mother’s bloodstream and contaminated the blood! It must be removed from the uterus immediately. Blood plasma and clotting factors should be prepared, while the patient should be sent to the ICU. All related personnel urgently requested to help! Quick!”

After spouting off that speech, Han Yunxi finally calmed down and realized her unfavorable plight. This wasn’t a modern day hospital, but ancient history thousands of years ago. They didn’t have any modern instruments or machines, so even something as simple as blood transfusions were impossible.

What now?!

90 percent of embolism patients died. She had seen a few survivors, but that was only possible with dozens of doctors and nurses armed with over 40 to 50 bags of blood. It was the same as trying to replace all the blood in the mother’s body to save her life.

What were they supposed to do now?
