"They said she was giving birth at home. Old Du from my family and I rushed to Cao Yongâs house, then remembered that she had been seeing you for her heart condition. My old Du quickly asked me to check with you if thereâs anything important to note about her heart," Doctor Tang explained.
"You areâ"
"Iâm Doctor Tang from the neurology department. My husband is Du Haiwei." After Doctor Tang finished saying this, she heard a blast of chilly northern wind seem to roar past her ear, as if it was going to deafen her eardrum. She had to raise her hand to cover her ear and asked, "Doctor Fu, what did you say?"
Fu Xinheng: ...
What did he say, what could he say? It felt like a barrage of bombs had been thrown at his head, leaving him dazed.
Why would Li Xiaobing be giving birth at home? Why would Du Haiwei go to Li Xiaobingâs house?
He had heard Li Xiaobing suspected she might end up giving birth at home and asked Du Haiwei to come help with the delivery.
Never had he heard of someone successfully cursing themselves like this. At least Fu Xinheng had never encountered such a situation.
Fu Xinheng unconsciously brushed a hand over his eyebrows.
The couple Zhu Huicang and company sometimes felt like a ticking time bomb. Always one felt like it would explode one day, but when it finally happens, one realizes the consequences are unbearable for anyone.
No choice, as they were hospital colleagues, one must absolutely try their utmost to find a solution.
"Sheâs giving birth at home, havenât they informed our hospitalâs obstetrics department?" Fu Xinheng asked calmly.
"They should have called the hospital, right? I donât know why itâs suddenly our old Du being contacted," Doctor Tang, not being an obstetrics expert, had to ask her husband whatâs going on.
Exchanging phones with his wife, Du Haiwei continued explaining the situation to the patientâs cardiologist: "They reported to me that Li Xiaobingâs fetal membranes have ruptured, the amniotic fluid came out, and worst of all, sheâs in breech position, did you know?"
"I heard her say during the last obstetric check-up that if the fetal position wouldnât turn, she would be admitted to the obstetric department early and possibly undergo a cesarean section."
"She might not have time to get admitted to the hospital. Her situation wasnât covered by the obstetric departmentâs preventive plan," Du Haiwei said.
More or less, the obstetricians at Guoxie might have been a bit lax, but to be honest, nobody can predict when the baby will want to come into the world. This is the ultimate test question in the science of life, and a point that medicine struggles to decipher, explaining how life is free-spirited, interpreting the essence of nature being beyond human control.
"Can she be transferred to the hospital now? She should undergo a cesarean section," Fu Xinheng insisted.
"Iâm afraid itâs difficult," Du Haiwei candidly stated, summarizing the situation reported by Xie Wanying and others, "Sheâs experiencing strong contractions, her cervix is dilating rapidly, her cervix has issues holding the baby, the baby is about to come out, how can we transfer her to the hospital? I reckon she can only give birth at home first."
Fu Xinheng believed that any attending physician hearing this would feel like fainting first, this bombshell was too overwhelming.
"Not at her home, itâs at Cao Yongâs place," Fu Xinheng corrected each word that was misstated.
Du Haiwei was stunned: Since when did this Robot become so nitpicky about such flaws in his words?
The Robot meticulously corrects any errors. The reason being, Fu Xinheng truly didnât know what to say about this situation, leaving him the only option to fully become a Robot.
