Chapter 1037: Chapter 1031 â Injured Pregnant Woman_1
When Qin Xue saw the pregnant woman, she couldnât help but gasp. She hadnât expected the pregnant woman to have injured her leg as well. No wonder they said she was a casualty.
âBring her in quickly, how is she injured so badly?â Qin Xue asked.
âShe was hit by a falling beam from the roof. We only found out she had been there since yesterday when we found her. Thatâs probably why sheâs now saying her stomach hurts,â a local who accompanied them explained to Qin Xue in Mandarin.
âDoesnât she speak Mandarin?â Qin Xue asked.
âNo, she doesnât. She had a hard life, she was an orphan since young and married a decent man when she grew up. Unfortunately, something happened to him leaving her alone, now pregnant, and with this misfortune, I wonder how sheâs going to survive from now on,â the local villager spoke with sympathy in his eyes while he looked at the moaning woman.
Those present didnât know what to say. Times were hard for everyone, and they could only offer limited help, especially when it came to a pregnant woman. They couldnât possibly bring her home with them, they could only help in other ways.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xue remained silent. She helped those towards whom she felt inspired, and typically only those she knew well. She didnât know how to help this woman, so she decided to remain silent. Helping her deliver the baby would be the best assistance she could give.
âAlright, you all can leave now. We need to examine her,â Qin Xue shoed everyone out. As a doctor, fulfilling her responsibilities was paramount, anything else was not within her scope. Although this might sound inconsiderate, there were many needy people in the world, and she could only do so much to help.
She wasnât a saviour, she had her own family to care for. She couldnât just offer help readily. She could teach the woman a skill to help her become self-reliant. With this thought in mind, she stopped thinking about other things and focused on the examination.
âHow do you feel now?â Qin Xue asked.
âOkay.â The pregnant woman responded. Qin Xue looked up, surprised. Wasnât it said that the woman didnât speak Mandarin? Then who had just spoken?
âNo need to look at me like that, I can speak your language, he just doesnât know,â the pregnant woman chuckled, her bitter smile caused Qin Xue to wince. Perhaps her previous assumptions had been wrong.
âYouâre not from here,â Qin Xue stated skeptically, discerning no local accent in her Mandarin. She spoke distinctly, as opposed to her own parents who each had their own unique way of speaking.
âNo, but Iâm hoping you can keep it a secret. Please donât tell the man from earlier, okay?â the pregnant woman pleaded to both Qin Xue and Ouyang Ziyu.
âWhy not? He mentioned you were orphaned. He was trying to convince us to help you, so why donât you want him to know this?â Qin Xue asked, curious why this woman would make such a request. Was she really in a difficult situation, or was there something dishonest about her?
âBecause I was deceived and brought here by him. I just didnât expect my bad luck to hit as soon as I arrived here. One could say Iâm lucky or unfortunate to encounter such a thing,â the woman said with a scornful laugh.
âDo you have the strength to tell us more?â Qin Xue asked as she fetched a fruit from her bag for the woman.
âThank you.â The woman accepted and began to eat. She was running out of strength, without enough food, she wonât have the energy to deliver her baby. So, she had to eat, she had to keep her child safe, she needed to go home.
