Chapter 291: Let me tell you a story (2)

*Flashback continued*

Xiao Fan went to Tokyo to live with her grandmother. Then a few years later, Yu Tengfei entered her life and it took another direction when she fell in love with him.

That night she returned to Beijing to meet Yu Tengfei because he suddenly stopped responding to her calls. On top of that, her grandmother was urging her to marry Huo Shen out of nowhere.

It was one hell of a storm, and unfortunately, she went into labor in such bad weather. Somehow, she managed to reach the hospital.

But there was a severe lack in staff. It wasn’t a big hospital, and the other nurses and doctors couldn’t reach there due to the heavy rain.

Xiao Fan clutched her tummy as the labor pain intensified.

Nurse Kim was one of the nurses. She tried to pacify Xiao Fan. “Please take a deep breath and calm down.”

“Aaaahhhhhh…”

Xiao Fan was losing her focus. She was breathing hard, and her forehead was covered in sweat.

“My babies…Painful…”

Nurse Kim nodded. “We understand, mam. We will help you with your delivery. Please try to stay conscious. We need your help in pushing the baby. Mam, is there anyone we can contact? Your husband or your family?”

Xiao Fan weakly said, “Yu Tengfei…”

Nurse Kim nodded. She found his number from Xiao Fan’s phone. But it was coming unavailable.

“Mr. Yu Tengfei is not picking up the call.”

Xiao Fan’s eyes rimmed in tears. She was feeling so helpless, and she wanted Yu Tengfei by her side, but he wasn’t.

She wondered whether to call Xiao Dan, but then she felt a sharp pain in her belly. She screamed in pain.

As the nurses and the doctor got busy with the preparations, the doctor said, “Miss, you are carrying twins.”

She weakly nodded.

He was serious. “Miss, it can be difficult because your health is not in the best state, which can affect one of the twin children.”

Xiao Fan cried. “Whatever it is, I want you to save them.”

The doctor nodded and said, “We will do our best.”

The storm was intensifying outside. It took almost two hours when Xiao Fan finally gave birth to the first twin and the soft cry echoed in the hospital. Nurse Kim took her in her arms.

“Congratulations. It’s a girl.”

Nurse Kim gently washed her with lukewarm water. The first daughter was born healthy.

Xiao Fan faintly smiled. She teared up, seeing the small bundle of joy. Now she was dead tired with the pain and pushing. 

Nurse Kim smiled. “You are doing great, Mam. Now it’s time for your second child. Just a little more, and it will be over.”

But as they were preparing for the second child, they heard a man loudly yell in the hospital.

“Help! Somebody here!?”

The doctor looked at Nurse Kim. “Stay here. I will check what is going on.”

She nodded.

When the doctor came outside, he found a man anxiously pacing back and forth.

It was Liang Zou. His shirt was soaked in water and blood. He was injured and bleeding.

He frantically and breathlessly said, “Doctor! Save my wife and son! O-our car got into an accident. My wife is pregnant a-and she is in pain. I think she is about to give birth. My son is hurt in the head. Please come with me! You have to save them!”

The doctor was stunned to see him. He recognized him as Liang Zou, who was a successful and influential businessman.

“Please calm down and take me to them.”

When the doctor reached the car amidst the heavy rain, he found that Liang Xiao Dan and Liang Shin were in a really bad condition. He checked her and concluded that she had to give birth immediately, or else the unborn child was at risk of dying. Liang Shin was also injured. His forehead was bleeding.

Liang Zou and the doctor quickly brought them inside.

“Zou…” Liang Xiao Dan mumbled. She tearfully looked at him. “Shin…Our baby…please save them…”

She was also severely hurt, and Liang Zou got terrified, seeing his family on the brink of death. He was on the verge of losing his wife, his son, and their unborn child forever. The mere thought made him shudder in fear.

He held her head in his arms and kissed her forehead. “Xiao Dan, trust me. Nothing will happen to you and our kids. They will be fine.”

Liang Zou narrowed his eyes at the doctor, “They will be alright, right? They have to be. Do everything you can to save them. They must be saved. Don’t worry about the money.”

The doctor hesitated. They already had Xiao Fan in the delivery room, and they lacked the staff. And now there were two more critically injured patients.

The doctor said, “Mr. Liang Zou. Actually, we have another pregnant patient who-“

Liang Zou glared at him and roared. “I don’t care! I only want to see my family safe and ALIVE! I swear if anything happens to my wife or children, I will take this entire hospital down! I’m Liang Zou and trust me. I will do it! Just state the number, and I will give you the cheque.”

The doctor was afraid of the consequences. He knew that Liang Zou was a successful businessman, and with his influence, they will really lose their jobs.

Not only lose the job, but he wouldn’t get a job in any other hospital either.

When he called the Dean informing him about the situation, the Dean said the same thing.

“Are you crazy? He is Liang Zou. Don’t offend him at any cost! Get to his family’s treatment! Do you want to shut down this hospital!?”

The doctor had no choice.

In the ward, Xiao Fan was trying her best to push, but there was no sign of her second twin child showing up.

Nurse Kim was waiting for the doctor. Xiao Fan’s state was weakening, and she was yet to give birth to the second twin.

“Nurse Kim, come outside!” The doctor yelled.

“But, the mam hasn’t delivered yet.”

“This is my order! Come quick!”

Xiao Fan mumbled. “Where…D-don’t leave me alone…I cannot do this alone…”

Nurse Kim said, “Mam, stay strong. I will come back soon.”

When she came outside, the doctor explained the situation to her.

Nurse Kim was shocked.

Liang Zou and his family?

“But doctor, the woman inside…”

The doctor interrupted. “I know, but we cannot do anything! Liang Zou’s wife is also going to give birth, and his son needs immediate surgery. Liang Zou himself needs treatment too. I will need all you three nurses to assist me. If we make any mistake, especially with their unborn child, then we are all dead!”

Nurse Kim was also scared, just like the doctor. How will she earn if Liang Zou will block all the jobs?

“Come quickly! Mrs. Liang’s condition is deteriorating. There could arise complications in her delivery because of the accident. Let’s go!”

Nurse Kim quickly went to Xiao Fan’s ward. The least she could do was help her deliver the second child. It was a girl again, but she was too weak. She could barely breathe. She didn’t even cry when she came out.

She cut the umbilical cord and washed her.

Xiao Dan mumbled, “What happened? Why isn’t she crying? I-is she alright?”

At that time, the doctor shouted. “Nurse Kim! Come quick! The patient’s condition is worsening.”

Nurse Kim handed Xiao Fan her children. “Mam, we have another emergency. I have to go.”

“No…wait! My child! Save her…”

Xiao Fan pleaded with tears in her eyes. Nurse Kim felt a little guilty, but she couldn’t afford to offend Liang Zou and be blacklisted in the medical field.

She didn’t say anything anymore and left the ward.

Xiao Fan took her second twin in her arms. She saw her baby struggling to breathe. Her little face was contorted in pain.

“Please help! Is somebody there? My baby. S-she cannot breathe. Please save her!”

Xiao Fan was begging and pleading and crying. She wasn’t even in the state to get up and ask for help. She was too weak with blood loss and birth.

The second twin was too underweight. Xiao Fan cried, “Please….Please help my baby…S-she is dying…please somebody save her…”

Then her child suddenly stopped to move.

“B-baby?”

Xiao Fan felt panicked. She frantically patted her child’s back. She rubbed her cheeks, trying to stay her warm.

But she showed no signs of waking up.

“W-what happened? Mommy is here. S-stay strong, dear. The doctor would be coming at any moment, and you will be fine! Wake up.”

Silence.

Xiao Fan fought her tears. “W-wake up, please. Your mommy is begging you. Please open your eyes. My child is strong.”

Serena, the firstborn, started wailing loudly as if she felt the loss of her younger sister.

But the second twin stayed still.

Xiao Fan blankly looked at her child…who was no more now. She was dead.

“No…my girl…don’t leave your Mommy…please..”

Tears rolled down her cheeks. She was trembling as she realized the worst.

“NOOOOO!!!!”
