Mr. Bo, Madam Is Pregnant!

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Saved

Zhou Weizhen glanced at the nurse with a sharp look, "You really are something!"

"I’m just being realistic," the nurse responded unabashedly, having been with her for many years and completely fearless as a result.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhe, already pale from weakness, had turned even paler, clearly agitated by the comment.

"Tch, at my age, after performing surgery for so long and being physically and mentally exhausted, where would I find the energy to worry about confidentiality?" Professor Zhou lamented with a twist of her lips.

"Yes, you almost spilled the beans about the patient’s condition," the nurse added.

Cheng Youran happened to walk over at this time and overheard this, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Teacher Zhou, you didn’t tell him, did you?!" Cheng Youran had always held great respect for Professor Zhou and usually spoke in a gentle tone.

His voice was unintentionally louder and more hurried now due to the urgency of the moment.

Zhou Weizhen waved her hand dismissively, "Not at all. How could I?"

Su Zhe, still looking weak and almost resentful from being upset, seemed to regain some energy and, upon hearing Zhou Weizhen’s denial, expressed disbelief without even saying a word—likely understanding the teacher all too well. Su Zhe directly accused, "Did you or did you not give them a nod or shake your head?"

Zhou Weizhen remained silent, her eyes widening and blinking more frequently, a clear sign of guilt as she said, "No. I did not. Why would I nod or shake my head to someone..."

Su Zhe couldn’t be bothered to object further, not needing to contemplate the inevitability that nods and shakes of the head were given. The teacher was actually quite soft-hearted. Just thinking about it, Su Zhe could imagine what state Bo Jingshen must have been in while waiting outside the operating room.

Other things aside, it surely would have softened Professor Zhou’s heart.

Indeed, the teacher wouldn’t give away information verbally, but through nods and headshakes, a persistent inquirer could deduce the useful information they sought from this soft-hearted professor.

Zhou Weizhen truly was tender-hearted, and seeing Su Zhe like this made her feel somewhat remorseful. She admitted, "Ah, I haven’t disclosed much. The person only asked me if she would recover, and I just nodded."

"Oh you..." Su Zhe sighed softly, deciding not to dwell on the subject any further.

He took a few steps forward, looking at the person on the hospital bed, connected to various tubes and wires, and seeing a face nearly blending in with the white hospital pillowcase and sheets, which tugged at his heartstrings.

"Is she doing okay?" Su Zhe asked.

Zhou Weizhen nodded, "She’s stable for now. If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn’t be any major problems going forward, but her constitution isn’t great, so she’ll definitely need to be nourished afterwards."

"Yes," Su Zhe nodded, agreeing that she indeed needed to be nurtured.

To outsiders, she was the esteemed young lady of the Su Family, presumably living a life of carefree luxury.

But it seemed as if she hadn’t enjoyed a single day of such a life.

"The other gestational sac has been temporarily preserved, but as you are aware, having undergone such a surgery, with the surgery’s intensity, the duration of anesthesia, the medication during and after surgery, the blood loss during the operation, and so on..." Zhou Weizhen mentioned all these points.

With each point raised, the faces of Su Zhe and Cheng Youran grew more somber.

Both being medical professionals, they clearly understood each risk that Professor Zhou was hinting at in her words.

Seeing their grave expressions, Zhou Weizhen paused briefly before continuing, "The existence of these conditions poses risks for future development. Although I’ve been as careful as possible with the medication, and the anesthesiologist has also tried to control the anesthesia as much as possible, the prognosis remains uncertain. However, I will continue to follow up, and we’ll try our best to preserve what we can."

Su Zhe nodded, took a deep breath, and let it out long, "Thank you, Teacher Zhou."

Cheng Youran quietly wiped the tears from the corner of her eye and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Teacher Zhou."

"All right, no need to delay, let’s get her back to the ward," Zhou Weizhen said, gesturing for the nurses to push the bed.

Then she turned to the other two men, "Who are these two? Are they also family?"

It was only then that Su Zhe remembered the presence of these two men, "Oh, they are volunteers who donated blood for Lulu, they said they wanted to meet Lulu."

"Ah?" Zhou Weizhen did not expect this turn of events. While it was understandable to want to meet someone after donating bone marrow, wanting to meet after a blood donation...

Seeing Zhou Weizhen’s confusion, Su Zhe explained, "Lulu is also a Panda Blood Volunteer; she just happened to save this gentleman before. It turned out to be quite the coincidence..."

"That really is an extraordinary coincidence!" Zhou Weizhen suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, "With such fate, they indeed should meet."

But Shen Xun did not seem to have any intention of responding; he was staring at Su Lu on the hospital bed, his gaze so focused as if trying to traverse through layers of time...

It was then that Su Zhe noticed that Shen Xun’s gaze on Su Lu seemed a bit unusual, yet it didn’t bear any malice, so Su Zhe only slightly furrowed his brows, "Mr. Shen?"

Shen Xun still had no reaction, still watching intently.

It was Jing Su who coughed softly beside him and reached out to pat him, "Axun."

"Hm." Shen Xun nodded lightly, withdrawing the intense focus of his gaze, which now became extremely natural. He smiled politely at Su Zhe and then took hold of the bed rail, saying to the nurse, "Let me help you push."

The group escorted Su Lu back to her ward.

After the nurse connected all the tubes and wires from the portable machines to the equipment in the ward, she finished these tasks and turned to Su Zhe, "Did you call for a caregiver?"

"I did, they should be arriving soon." Su Zhe nodded; he was meticulous, so even though he had been worried about Su Lu’s condition the entire night, he still remembered to hire an experienced caregiver for her.

"She’s awake," the nurse announced.

Everyone looked over.

They saw the person who had previously been slumbering on the bed now had her eyes slightly open, but there was no sparkle in them, her gaze was scattered, unfocused, as if her eyes were open, but her soul had not yet returned to its place.

"Lulu?" Su Zhe called her, knowing that after anesthesia, even if she seemed awake, she was actually still in a daze, so he knew she probably wasn’t truly conscious, just with her eyes open.

Cheng Youran leaned in closer, holding Su Lu’s hand that was not fitted with a blood oxygen clip or an IV catheter; Su Lu’s hand was ice cold. Cheng Youran held her hand, gently rubbing it.

"Xiaolu? Xiaolu, are you awake? Do you feel any better?"

"Uh..." Su Lu let out several indistinct syllables from her throat, "...hmm..."

It sounded like she was in pain, a faint moan in her voice.

Clearly not conscious, yet as if she still recognized Cheng Youran’s voice, she struggled to open her eyes wider, her voice exceptionally husky, asking Cheng Youran, "...the baby..."

Cheng Youran’s nose tingled, clutching her hand tightly, "Saved."
