Chapter 1192: Chapter 1192: Zhuangzhuang Critically Ill 2

Yang Fengying tugged at Fang Ning’s sleeve, "Who can be more heartbroken over a child than Qingxue? Stop saying that! How is the child?"

Feng Qingxue lifted her head, her eyes, beautiful as stars, now bloodshot and frighteningly red. It had only been one day, yet it seemed her cheeks had thinned to a worrying degree, as she tried to speak through her tears, "It’s under observation."

Several doctors had joined for a consultation, doing their utmost, but none could guarantee Zhuangzhuang’s safety.

The trace of sympathy in the eyes of the doctors and nurses cut Feng Qingxue to the core.

"Here’s the water, the water’s here!" A disheveled, hollow-eyed Lu Jiang, holding the warm boiled water his wife had asked for, made his way through the crowd into the ward then frowned, "Wasn’t it said that no visitations were allowed? Go back, with fewer people around, Zhuangzhuang’s breathing will be a bit easier!"

Feng Qingxue carefully picked up Zhuangzhuang, and Lu Jiang quickly handed her the milk bottle.

However, the bottle didn’t hold milk this time, but warm water instead.

"Good boy, Zhuangzhuang, Mama will give you water. Drinking water will make you feel better, ah!" Feng Qingxue sniffled, trying her hardest to remain calm.

Lu Jiang offered his hand, "Let me do it."

Zhuangzhuang was too weak to suck in the water. Feng Qingxue turned to Lu Jiang, "Give me a sip of water from the enamel jar."

Taking a large sip, she didn’t swallow it but instead passed the water from her mouth slowly into Zhuangzhuang’s, finally helping him to swallow it before she removed her lips from his small mouth.

She continued, one mouthful after another, careful not to be too quick or too slow, the water temperature not too cool nor too warm.

After a few sips, Feng Qingxue stopped.

Seeing this, Yang Fengying, Fang Ning, and the others knew that nothing they said would help at this moment, so they quietly left, signaling to the people at the door to do the same, whispering, "Let’s go, let’s all leave, don’t crowd around and block the air from getting in."

Thinking about Lu Jiang’s status, Feng Qingxue’s exceptionality, and the lively Xibao and Fubao, everyone felt very sorry.

Could it be that perfection is truly hard to attain in this world?

How many people had envied her for having triplets in the beginning, but now, many pitied her instead, especially for Zhuangzhuang, who fell ill right after birth.

Gaining and then losing was indeed a harrowing agony for a mother.

Although it had been Yang Fengying and Fang Ning who suggested everyone leave, they were the last ones to go. They saw Guo Xiuying and Wang Sanbao hurry in and come out later, their steps heavy.

"How is it?" Fang Ning and Yang Fengying asked in unison.

Wang Sanbao shook his head, remaining silent.

Guo Xiuying’s face was filled with sadness as she forced a smile, "Back in the delivery room, we comforted Qingxue by saying Zhuangzhuang was born at three pounds and eight ounces, a better state than many single birth babies. Now, I just don’t know how to explain it to her."

Zhuangzhuang’s condition was really bad, his chance of survival very slim.

Ultimately, it came down to Zhuangzhuang being too weak and the hospital lacking the medication for children.

Everyone knew how meticulous Feng Qingxue was with her children; Zhuangzhuang’s sickness wasn’t caused by external factors but internal weakness, which led him to fall ill in the springtime, a season when illnesses were common, and there just wasn’t the right medication available.

Hearing Guo Xiuying say this, Fang Ning and Yang Fengying’s eyes reddened instantly.

"But the child... that child is Qingxue’s life!" Fang Ning wiped her eyes, unable to imagine the terrible news Feng Qingxue would have to confront next, "Just the other day when I and Comrade Qiao Desheng were eating at her house, she said she wanted to leave the military to focus on taking care of the children. If she tried to work and care for them at the same time, she wouldn’t be able to manage, and she didn’t trust anyone else to take care of her children."
