Chapter 1139: Chapter 1139: Triplets 10

Feng Qingxue was even more anxious than Lu Jiang. From the serious expressions on Guo Xiuying and Wang Sanbao’s faces, she inferred that the situation with her younger son must not be good. Otherwise, with their medical skills, they wouldn’t have failed to determine that she was carrying triplets.

The only explanation was that the baby had a weak heartbeat and was in a posterior position, which was why they hadn’t diagnosed it.

"Call Lu Jiang!" Feng Qingxue commanded as she exerted herself, "Tell him to come home and bring over one of the red brocade pouches from the chest."

In fact, the Jade Gourds Master Dan gave to the five children were all in her space, but she couldn’t bring anything out with her before and after giving birth. Suddenly producing a piece of jade would definitely raise suspicion, so she could only hint to Lu Jiang in this way.

Upon hearing the message, Lu Jiang took off running toward home.

It was as if he had the Wind Fire Wheel on his feet—he quickly returned with a red cloth bundle, which was just another piece of red cloth he had torn off in haste. He personally handed it to Feng Qingxue and blocked the view of the others, "Qingxue!"

A tall and burly man had tears brimming in his eyes.

Feng Qingxue flipped her hand over, and a Jade Gourd appeared in Lu Jiang’s hand, "Give it to Sister Xiuying, put it on the baby in a moment."

Lu Jiang, with tears in his eyes, stuffed the red cloth bundle into his pocket and turned to hand the Jade Gourd to Guo Xiuying.

"What’s this?" Guo Xiuying asked.

"A talisman an old person gave for the child’s protection..."

Before Feng Qingxue could finish speaking, the childbirth doctor announced, "He’s born, born—it’s another boy!"

He was rather weak, a great deal thinner than his two brothers.

The third son was five pounds and two ounces, the fourth was five pounds and four ounces, both with loud cries, but Xiaowo was only three pounds and eight ounces, significantly weaker in all aspects than his brothers who were born at the same time. His cries were also barely audible, like a kitten’s meow.

Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang were so heartbroken that tears came to their eyes.

Guo Xiuying pushed Lu Jiang out and quickly cleaned up the baby. The weaker the child, the faster they had to act, and they couldn’t let him catch cold. As they wrapped him in swaddling clothes, Feng Qingxue said, "That piece of jade, put that on him."

Xiaowo was naturally frail, so while taking care of him, they could only hope that the mystical charm would keep him safe.

"You know," Guo Xiuying sighed, "All this is just for psychological comfort. In reality, we have to believe in science to raise him." She understood the parents’ concern and tucked the Jade Gourd into Xiaowo’s swaddle.

"Don’t worry." After examining Xiaowo, Sister Sanbao actually relaxed and consoled Feng Qingxue, "Although Xiaowo isn’t as robust as his brothers, he is still much stronger than other babies born to some families—three pounds and eight ounces is really not light for multiples. Take good care of him, and he’s certain to grow up healthy and strong."

"That’s right, Xiaoxue, don’t cry. You’ve just had a baby; be careful not to ruin your eyes from crying."

Hearing Guo Xiuying’s words and glancing at her three sons lined up asleep, Feng Qingxue sniffed, "Thank you, Sister Xiuying, thank you Sister Sanbao, thank you, comrades. It really was hard on everyone today."

Doctor Liao, the midwife, laughed, "What’s there to thank? This is our duty! I’ve been an obstetrician for so many years, and this is my first time delivering triplets! You, as a mother giving birth to three babies at once, really had it tough. However, you and the little ones need to stay in the hospital a bit longer, until the little one’s condition is stable before going home."

It was very cold outside in winter, and though the temperature rose at noon, it was still wiser to be cautious.

Triplets, if due to negligence, they lost one, who wouldn’t feel heartbroken?
