Chapter 144 Leaving the Orphan Girl Behind
Chapter 144 Leaving the Orphan Girl Behind
I drove at full speed in the storm, fearing to slack off for a moment.
Zhu Qinger in the car kept moaning and yelling. I had no experience and didn't know what was wrong with her. Was she doing this because she was about to give birth?
Finally we arrived at the Mid-Levels Central Hospital. Wang Musen followed me holding his wife. I saw Gu Mingyan anxiously waiting for us in the hall. Without saying a word, he pushed the mobile bed over and asked Wang Musen to put Zhu Qinger on the bed. He pushed the bed and went straight to the delivery room.
After Zhu Qing'er went in, Gu Mingyan also stayed outside the door to accompany us.
He comforted us and said that he had just found a more experienced obstetrician and gynecologist in their hospital, so don't be too nervous and everything should be fine.
He had just finished speaking when the nurse in the delivery room suddenly opened the door and asked in a panic, "Who is Zhu Qinger's family member?"
I pushed Wang Musen, who was as nervous as a stick, and he finally came to his senses and said, "I am, what happened?"
The nurse quickly explained: "Your wife's fetus is in an abnormal position and must undergo a caesarean section. Please sign quickly and find someone to pay the fee. We are going to perform the operation."
I quickly took the receipt and said I would go and pay. Medical treatment costs a lot of money nowadays. The money Wang Musen earned from delivering water these days is definitely not enough. I also thought that as a relative, I should pay for it for him, to help him in an emergency but not to help him out of poverty. I wanted them to have the surgery as soon as possible. Without saying a word, I went to the payment office and paid more than 30,000 yuan.
Wang Musen said to me gratefully: "Thank you, I will definitely pay you back in the future."
I told him not to bother with such a small matter, but hearing Wang Musen's words of gratitude made me feel that my help was worthwhile.
While we were waiting outside the operating room, there was suddenly a huge thunder in the sky, as if the sky was blown apart. At the same moment of the thunder, the power in the hospital suddenly went out!
We were so scared at the time, Gu Qingyan even comforted us that the hospital had a backup power supply, but it was too late...
When the doctor pushed Zhu Qing'er's body out of the delivery room and told us seriously that she was beyond help due to heavy bleeding, Wang Musen was already stunned, even though the doctor later added the good news that the baby was born safely, and it was a girl...
Oh my God, how could this happen? What is the reason?
We both looked at Gu Qingyan helplessly, wanting him to find out the reason. At this time, Zhu Qinger's body had been pushed out of the operating room by the nurse.
Gu Qingyan also hurried to find the attending doctor to inquire about the cause of the accident.
Wang Musen walked to his wife's side as if he had lost his soul, staring at Zhu Qing'er's body in disbelief, muttering, "He was telling me he had a stomachache this morning, how come he suddenly..." He could no longer support himself, and his legs softened as he knelt beside the bed.
The nurse put the wrapped baby girl in my hands and said with great regret, "I am sorry for your loss."
I went to comfort him and let him see the baby girl in my arms, "This is your daughter, cheer up, she will still need you to raise her in the future..."
Just when I was trying to persuade him further, something even more unexpected happened. Wang Musen hugged his daughter and gave her a big kiss, causing the child to burst into tears. He then threw the child on Zhu Qinger's body and rushed to the huge spiral staircase in the middle of the hospital like crazy. Without any hesitation, he jumped down...
We watched this scene in shock, and suddenly I reacted and ran downstairs quickly.
Although there was a lot of water on the ground, the building was too high and his body hit the water heavily when he jumped. When we arrived, he looked at me desperately and earnestly with only his last breath left. He told me resolutely that he was very grateful for my help, that he didn't want to live in this life anymore, and begged me to raise his child.
After saying that, he closed his eyes forever.
Oh my god! How can you be so irresponsible? I'm not his father, how can I raise a newborn baby?
How could such a thing happen? There were three of us originally and now everything is fine. Do I have to go back with the child alone?
Gu Mingyan asked a nurse to help me collect the bodies of the couple. I was moved that Wang Musen, who had always been unreasonable, actually thanked me before he died. He was a murderer and I shouldn't have been involved in his family affairs.
I called Xiaobai and asked him to bring grandma and Mubai to claim the body.
Wang Mubai and his grandmother went to the hospital and made a scene. The hospital agreed to cremate the body for free for Gu Qingyan’s sake and compensated his grandmother with 200,000 yuan. But his grandmother only took one look at the child and spat when she saw it was a girl. “Bah! She sacrificed two lives in my family just to give birth to this unlucky child. I’ll kill her!”
As she said that, she really came over and wanted to beat and strangle the child to death. Fortunately, I dodged quickly, otherwise she would have at least scratched my face.
Liu took the money and left with Wang Mubai. The two of them even angrily regarded me as the culprit who caused the death of Wang Musen and his wife. I breathed a sigh of relief. I was so depressed that day that I wanted to just leave. The child was not mine, so I made up my mind to throw her to an orphanage.
I plan to ask Gu Qingyan to help me contact an orphanage. It’s impossible for a grown man like me to raise a baby, right?
At this moment, the baby girl in my arms suddenly opened her extremely pure eyes. At that moment, time seemed to freeze.
I was completely stunned.
Newborn babies cannot see the things around them clearly. Maybe this is just my illusion?
But what happened next shocked me - the little girl actually stretched out her little hands with all her strength, as if trying to grab something, and her little face revealed an inexplicable expression, as if she was begging me not to abandon her.
My heart was shaken. I didn't want to leave her behind anymore. What else could I do but carry her home first?
After seeing the tragic experience of me only bringing back the child, my family members all fell silent, and then they all lamented that the child had such a miserable life.
Grandpa held the child and coaxed him for a long time, but the child was still crying hard. Grandpa said with experience that it was because the child was hungry.
I looked through my space and found only diapers for my child, nothing else. I did have a bottle for my child, which a nurse from the obstetrics and gynecology department of a hospital secretly gave to me out of pity for me, but there was no milk powder. That thing was too expensive but no one gave it to me. I was so flustered that I didn't think about it at all. How could anyone open a shop to sell baby products when it was raining so heavily?
If I had known this day would come, I would have gone to buy baby supplies earlier. Now I am at a loss.
Suddenly Lin Lin said, "Doesn't Zhang Hua on the 13th floor always ask for purified water to make milk? She must have milk powder at home. Let's ask her for some milk powder and then pay her double the amount later."
I'm confused. Didn't we just fight a war a few days ago? Have you forgotten?
Lin Lin spread her hands and explained to me: "The more this is the case, the easier it is to negotiate. She is greedy for money, so why don't we just exchange her items?"
I thought so too. At this time, I knocked on Zhang Hua's door. She was surprised to see it was me and asked me what happened.
I had no choice but to confront her and ask her if she had any milk powder I wanted to buy.
Zhang Hua looked at me suspiciously and asked me what was going on?
I explained to her what happened to my cousin's family and wanted to exchange some milk powder from her.
When Zhang Hua was about to grin and laugh at me and reject me, Lin Lin behind me quickly took out a box of diapers and a bottle of mineral water and placed them in front of her.
A hint of greed flashed across her eyes for a moment, and she was about to add that these things of ours were nothing compared to milk powder.
I said coldly: "Don't push your luck!"
