Mint's words frightened Guan Shouheng and his face instantly turned pale. The due date has not yet arrived, so why is he about to give birth?
In fact, he hopes more than anyone else that the little baby can be born early, because in that case, Mint will not have to undergo umbilical cord blood extraction surgery during pregnancy. However, the results of several previous examinations have shown that the baby's development speed is normal, and without them
He was born so soon as expected, so he couldn't be born in advance.
Although medical technology is much more advanced now than it was ten years ago, it is risky to have a caesarean section before the baby is born. After a collective consultation with multiple doctors, we decided to wait.
Wait.
Of course, the premise of this waiting is that An An must also be able to wait.
Fortunately, An An's condition is relatively stable. The doctor had previously said that he must receive umbilical cord blood from the newborn within six months, but perhaps it is God's favor. These days, An An's health has been good, maybe because of his good mood.
Because, firstly, the whole family was reunited, and secondly, his "Funny English" was also very popular, so he was in high spirits every day. The doctor said he was very lucky, so that he could wait a little longer for the umbilical cord blood.
Only when the amount is sufficient can the transplant be officially accepted.
Today is Mint's third extraction operation. Everything was originally arranged. After this operation was completed, the doctor would process the umbilical cord blood collected three times together and infuse it into An'an at once. Unexpectedly, the plan did not change quickly.
, the little baby is going to be born early!
"Mint, how are you? Does it hurt?" The sweat on Guan Shouheng's forehead immediately rolled down.
"I...may be giving birth..." Mint said weakly, and suddenly there were throbbing pains in her abdomen, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Although the due date has not yet arrived, this familiar pain is exactly the same as when An An was born, and it is almost certain that she is about to give birth!
"Oh my god, what should we do? What should we do?" Guan Shouheng was so nervous about the relationship that he forgot that the doctor was right next to him.
"Mr. Guan, please calm down first. Let's take a look at the condition of the pregnant woman before making a decision." The director of the obstetrics and gynecology department said calmly.
"Is she not in danger?" Guan Shouheng still didn't dare to relax at all. His whole body was tense and he looked like he might faint at any time.
"Mr. Guan, if you have been so nervous, then we can only ask you to go out first." The doctor issued an order to expel you.
Only then did Guan Shouheng realize that something was wrong. He quickly regained his rationality. After taking two deep breaths, he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Okay, I won't make any noise. Please check on my wife first. Please!"
His cautious tone made the little nurse beside him dumbfounded, "Mr. Guan, giving birth is not that fast. You really don't have to be in such a hurry."
It’s not your fault, so of course you are not in a hurry!
Guan Shouheng really wanted to yell back like this, but his reason told him to shut up quickly. He remained silent, but lowered his head again and held Mint's hand tightly.
"Guan Shouheng...it's okay..." Bo Mint comforted him in turn, because she felt that he was more nervous and scared than she was.
His behavior really made her dumbfounded. She didn't know whether to be moved or laughed at.
"It will be fine! As long as I am here, I will accompany you!" Guan Shouheng's rationality has finally returned. He cannot panic. If he panics, what will happen to her and the child? He has to protect them!
The doctors had seen this kind of situation many times, so they all remained calm and there was no need to draw umbilical cord blood. They immediately arranged for a delivery room, and Mint was quickly pushed in.
Guan Shouheng never left, and the back of his shirt was already wet in just a few minutes.
In the delivery room, Mint was lying on the delivery table, breathing more and more violently. A fetal monitor was installed next to her to measure the baby's heartbeat changes and the frequency of uterine contractions. The doctor carefully observed her condition.
"Doctor, how is the situation? Is my wife going to give birth?" After waiting for a long time, there was still no progress at all. Guan Shouheng couldn't help but asked nervously.
"It's not so fast. I just opened two fingers. I have to wait a little longer." The doctor comforted him and said.
Guan Shouheng was speechless. All he could do seemed to be wait.
Mint was in so much pain that she couldn't speak. She could only lie there and exhale loudly.
"Mr. Guan, Mrs. Guan, don't worry. Although it's a little sudden that the baby is born suddenly, it's a good thing. As soon as the little guy comes out, won't there be umbilical cord blood?" The doctor comforted them to ease the tense atmosphere.
.
Guan Shouheng held Mint's hand tightly, and the two looked at each other in a tacit understanding, both of them were very touched. This little baby was so considerate. In order to prevent her mother from suffering again, she simply came out early.
"Both the mother and the fetus are in good condition, you don't have to worry." The doctor said happily.
Mint nodded vigorously, and waves of pain surged toward her like a tide, leaving her with no strength to even speak.
Guan Shouheng held her hand with one hand and a towel with the other to help her wipe the sweat from her forehead.
After a while, the situation still made no progress. The only change was that Guan Shouheng and Mint were sweating more and more.
"Doctor, my wife seems to be in pain, what should I do?" Guan Shouheng asked worriedly.
"There is no pain in giving birth, just be patient and don't be impatient!" the doctor said persuadingly.
Guan Shouheng was really filled with hatred. He hated the doctor for being so "ruthless" and even more hated himself for getting her pregnant. He was confused and immediately said repentantly, "Mint, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you get pregnant."
"
Mint felt very painful, so painful that she almost had no strength to speak, but she had to refute his words, "Are you stupid? Children are a gift from God. Besides, what will An An do without this little baby?"
"..." Guan Shouheng quickly shut up, but she looked so uncomfortable, which really made him as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
At this time, the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department, the resident doctor, and several nurses approached the delivery table and carefully inspected the condition of the mint.
"The situation is good, and it won't be very difficult to give birth naturally. Just keep persisting!" the director of obstetrics and gynecology encouraged.
"Yeah!" Mint gritted his teeth.
"Come on, baby, I'm right by your side, don't be afraid!" Guan Shouheng gently pinched her chin with his hand to prevent her from biting her lips and teeth. He was afraid that she would hurt herself, so he had to stretch out his hand, "
If you want to bite, bite me!"
Mint was deeply moved by his gentleness and responsibility, and her physical strength had been exhausted a lot, but her heart seemed to be full of powerful strength. With him here, she would definitely be able to persevere!
"Harder! Harder!" the doctors began to give orders.
Mint followed the doctor's instructions, and the pain suddenly exploded to several points.
"Ah——" she cried out in pain.
"Try harder! Okay, good, try harder!" The doctors continued to encourage.
Mint inhaled and exhaled hard, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. After biting Guan Shouheng's finger hard, Beiqi pushed all his strength into his abdomen.
"Wow--" The baby's cry filled the air of the bankruptcy room.
Mint was relieved and closed her eyes in exhaustion.
Guan Shouheng also breathed a long sigh of relief, and his half-kneeling body fell softly.
"Congratulations! It's a beautiful little princess!" the doctors reported happily.
Guan Shouheng was so nervous that he couldn't stand up. He didn't care about himself. He stroked Mint's face with his hand and told her with a choked voice, "Mint, did you hear what the doctor said? We have a daughter!"
The nurse quickly brought the baby over. Guan Shouheng took it carefully and carried her to Mint.
"Mint, open your eyes and look. This is our daughter. She is so cute. She looks a lot like you. She is a beautiful little doll..."
Mint opened her eyes weakly, and saw the baby in front of her who had been wrapped in a scarf, with only a small face exposed.
The little baby's face was wrinkled, but it was still quite cute and pink.
She couldn't help crying. Although all her strength had disappeared, when she saw the healthy baby and that cute little face, she seemed to have strength again.
"You're already a mother, and you still love crying so much?" Guan Shouheng said teasingly, but he didn't know that he himself was also filled with tears.
"I've been a mother for a long time, okay? An An is already ten years old!" Bo Min couldn't help but be excited when she thought of her two children.
Originally, she meant to let him relax, but Guan Shouheng felt sad after hearing this. He had just witnessed her heartbreaking delivery. The whole process made him extremely worried and heartbroken. He couldn't help but think, ten
How painful it must have been when she gave birth to An An years ago! She was only 17 years old at that time! When she needed him the most, he was damn not around her! She must have been nervous and scared alone.
"Mint, thank you!" Thank you for giving birth to my child, thank you for forgiving me, thank you for giving me the opportunity to have you again.
She smiled weakly, raised her eyes inadvertently, and caught a glimpse of the tooth marks on his hand. They were bitten by her, and they were all broken, and there were still bloodshot eyes on them.
"Will it hurt?" she asked distressedly.
"Not at all. This small injury is nothing compared to the pain you have endured!" He caressed her face distressedly, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Has the umbilical cord blood been collected?" Mint remembered this important matter and asked quickly.
"Mrs. Guan, don't worry. The baby knows he feels sorry for you, so he couldn't wait to come out. We have collected a whole tube!" the nurse informed with a smile.
Mint breathed a long sigh of relief, everything was worth it!
After going through the painful birth process, Mint was really exhausted. After being transferred to the general ward, she fell asleep due to exhaustion.
Guan Shouheng stood by the bed and looked at her quietly. Her face looked a little pale, but there was a beautiful smile on her lips.
Under the care of the nurse, the baby had been bathed, checked by the doctor, and placed in a small glass box not far from her bedside.
Originally, the baby was going to be sent to the hospital's nursery, but he specifically applied to the doctor and hired two more nurses to take care of him because he didn't want the baby to be too far away because he had to let the baby go first.
Stay with mom because he has to leave first.
An An's surgery is about to begin. Although he has been in good physical condition recently, An An is also very nervous because of the sudden onset of mint. His mood is also a bit unstable, and he even suffers from insufficient blood supply to the brain.
, so the doctor decided to perform an umbilical cord blood transplant for him immediately.
The umbilical cord blood collected just after delivery, plus the two previous draws, were all placed in a white cylindrical mobile liquid nitrogen tank. After professional treatment by the doctor, the umbilical cord blood was slowly injected into An An's body.
This process is actually not too difficult, but Guan Shouheng still feels that every minute and every second is painful.
About an hour later, the transplant operation was finally completed successfully.
When the doctor announced the words "transplantation successful," Guan Shouheng's eyes turned red involuntarily again.
He felt that he had lived for almost thirty years and had not shed as many tears as he did today. However, he did not feel ashamed because today were full of tears of emotion and happiness!
An'an's condition is stable, but he must stay in the isolation ward for a while.
"If the blood count slowly returns to normal after 25 days, the transplant will be considered a complete success and you can go home for treatment." The attending doctor informed with a smile.
"Thank you, doctor!" Guan Shouheng said gratefully.
"You're welcome, I wish your family happiness!" The doctor had already been moved by the family.
"Thank you, thank you!" Guan Shouheng was still grateful. Love is the most beautiful encounter in the world, and life is the greatest accident in the world.
He thanked God for allowing him to have the most precious and happiest moment in his life.
***
A month later, An An was discharged from the hospital, and Bo Mint also completed confinement. Guan Shouheng, holding his just one-month-old baby in his arms, left the hospital with his family.
A family of four were riding in a car together. Guan Shouheng was driving. Bo Mint and An An were sitting in the back seat. There was a small baby carrier between the mother and son, and the little baby was lying in it, sleeping sweetly.
Guan Shouheng deliberately drove the car very slowly, and half an hour later, the family returned home.
The little baby seemed to have telepathy. As soon as he entered the house, he immediately woke up, opened his round and big eyes, and looked around.
She was a little shy of strangers, but her round eyes were full of curiosity. She hid in Guan Shouheng's arms and secretly looked at her new home.
She knew clearly that the one-month-old baby couldn't see very far, but when Bo Min saw how cute her daughter looked, she couldn't help but lower her head and give her a kiss on her cute little face.
She is indeed her little princess, so beautiful, so cute, fragrant and soft!
"Mom, can I give my sister a hug?" An An was already eager to give it a try. He liked this lovely sister very much, but in the past month, the doctor said that he was weak and needed to recuperate, which caused him great harm.
I never had a chance to hug my little baby.
"Okay, but you have to be careful!" Bo Min knew that his son couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly motioned to Guan Shouheng to hand the baby over.
"Hug her like this." After only one month, Guan Shouheng already has the experience of a nanny.
"I know, Dad." An An carefully took her sister and couldn't put it down.
The little baby has fair skin, big and round eyes, and is as cute as an angel.
"Baby, I'm brother, brother!" An An couldn't wait to introduce himself to her.
The little baby blinked his cute round eyes and grinned, his saliva soaking An An's clothes, but he didn't care at all.
"Baby, would you like to take you to visit our home? Let's go to your room first. The little bed dad prepared for you is very beautiful! There are also many dolls and toys!" An An said patiently.
The two children slowly disappeared into the children's room. Guan Shouheng took Mint's hand and sat down on the sofa in the living room. The two looked at each other and smiled.
After a moment of silence, Guan Shouheng took out a few newspapers from the drawer of the coffee table and said, "Mint, I think it's time to tell you something."
"What?" She took the newspaper suspiciously, looked down at it, and was surprised and happy.
Not long ago, on the third day after she gave birth, the cases of the Qiao family and the Fang family came to an end. Qiao family suffered a heavy blow due to the last incident. During the investigation, the police discovered more of their illegal behaviors.
Several crimes were punished concurrently, and several Qiao executives headed by Qiao Lijie were all sentenced.
Director Fang was also sentenced to life because he was found to have abused his power for personal gain and accepted a large amount of bribes.
As for Fang Yuan, she was also involved and was sentenced to three years in prison.
For Mint, this is all good news, but the last newspaper contains grim news.
The news made her feel quite complicated, happy but also sad.
Guan Shouheng gently put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her gently.
Because of the Qiao family and the Fang family, he also helped pay off the debt. The judge also took her physical condition into consideration, so Shen Mei was given a lighter sentence, but he was still sentenced to seven years.
Seven years is neither long nor short, but I don’t know if I can survive it with my heavy body.
Guan Shouheng was very reluctant to give up, but he had to give up. He opened another drawer and took out an admission notice from Paris III University.
Although Mint's academic qualifications were not high in the past, her performance during the expo was obvious to everyone. Coupled with Mr. Lewis's recommendation, it was a matter of course for her to go abroad.
"Mint, go study abroad. This is your mother's biggest wish."
"I..." She shook her head subconsciously. She wanted to study abroad, but what would happen to him and the children if she left?
"If love lasts for a long time, how can we stay together day and night?"
