Chapter 362: Chapter 360 Production 5_1

Xia Ningxing’s eyes couldn’t help but redden, pulling her in closer, "You’re acting recklessly! Where in the world is there a drug that can change a child’s gender!"

"Miss Xia, please let go of my mother. She did this for Tao Tao and me, hoping we could have a son to inherit the household registration," Yu Heng anxiously looked at Xia Ningxing. If it weren’t for the regard that he is Lu Tingli’s partner, he would have already taught this woman, who dared to grab his own mother by the collar, a lesson.

"Absurd!" Xia Ningxing abruptly let go of Mrs. Yu and could no longer sit still, pacing back and forth in front of the operating room door.

Now all they could hope for was that the drug would not greatly affect the adult or the child; otherwise...

Xia Ningxing closed her eyes, no longer daring to think further.

Otherwise, it would mean at the least fetal deformity and maternal damage;

At worst, two lives would be lost!

Bang!

Just then, the doctor suddenly came out of the operating room in a flustered and anxious state.

Xia Ningxing’s heart plunged into an abyss.

It seemed the worst had happened; surely the drug was too toxic, endangering both Tao Tao and the child.

Mrs. Yu and Yu Heng thought the child had already been born and hurried towards the doctor with smiling faces.

Especially Mrs. Yu, her face full of anticipation, tightly grasping the doctor’s hand and eagerly asking, "Doctor, Doctor, did my daughter-in-law give birth to a boy?"

Although she had given her daughter-in-law that gender-changing drug before labor, theoretically there should be no more worries, but until she saw her grandson with her own eyes, she couldn’t rest easy.

The doctor’s eyes were so red with urgency, "Now is not the time to worry about whether it’s a boy or a girl. I’m asking you, what have you all been feeding the pregnant woman? Why is she suddenly showing signs of poisoning, and multiple organs have already begun to fail? We are pressed for time; we can only save the adult or the child, so you, as relatives, must make a decision quickly!"

The reason they could only save one was because if the antidote was administered to the adult first, the child would be affected by the medication and would die in the womb.

But if they performed a C-section to deliver the child first, then the adult wouldn’t last until the time to detoxify.

Therefore, this was a dilemma with no right answer, you could choose only one! (For the needs of the plot, don’t take it too seriously, folks.)

"What did you say? Poisoned? How could she be poisoned?" Mrs. Yu’s voice rose sharply, "And only one can be saved?"

Seeing her still wasting words here, the doctor, spinning in frustration, said, "That’s the situation! And what’s more, I have to tell you, because of the poisoning, the pregnant woman’s reproductive system has been affected. If we save the adult, she won’t be able to have children in the future."

"Doctor, there is no need for you to continue; my family will definitely choose to save my precious grandson!" Mrs. Yu responded without even blinking an eyelid, blurting out.

In her eyes, the daughter-in-law was an outsider; if she died, so be it. What mattered more than a grandson who could inherit the family line?

Moreover, it would be better if she died; her son could then find a new woman.

Yu Heng frowned, his face filled with conflict and hesitation, "Mother, but isn’t this too cruel to Taozi?"

Mrs. Yu glared at him, "What, do you still want to protect your wife? What’s the point of saving her, a hen that can’t lay eggs? Better use her life to exchange for the child’s life now, than to let her live in agony!"

Yu Heng pondered for a moment, then suddenly nodded, "Mom makes sense."

"Since you have already discussed it, sign here," the doctor handed the surgical risk notification to Yu Heng.

Yu Heng took the paper and pen, but as he was about to sign, Xia Ningxing snatched the pen away directly.

As Tao Tao’s good friend, how could she just stand by and watch her being ’killed’?

"Yu Heng, I originally thought that even if you were a mama’s boy, you should have some principles, but now it seems I overestimated you. You don’t deserve to be called a man, let alone a husband!" Xia Ningxing’s icy words fell like knives, piercing into Yu Heng’s flesh and blood.

"This unborn child isn’t even a person yet, and you want your wife to die for a child who hasn’t been born!"

Yu Heng sighed involuntarily, seemingly helplessly, "Miss Xia, it’s not that I don’t care for Taozi, but even if Taozi were to be saved, she could never get pregnant again. Her life would be meaningless. It’s better to use her life to exchange for the child’s life now, at least leaving a descendant in this world!"

"Who decided that a woman without the ability to bear children doesn’t deserve to live in this world?" Xia Ningxing exploded in anger, throwing the pen at his utterly hypocritical face while cursing, "Scumbag!"

Then, she turned to the doctor, "I have a way to ensure the safety of both mother and child. Please let me enter the operating room to accompany you during the surgery."

Xia Ningxing pleaded.

Without even thinking, the doctor shook his head, "Sorry, that’s against the rules."

"I know this puts you in a difficult position, but I’m truly confident. Rest assured that if anything goes wrong, I’ll take full responsibility," Xia Ningxing said, taking all the responsibility onto herself.

She wasn’t being arrogant; she had real skills.

Remember the medical book she found in the mud hut after falling off the cliff? It described a kind of detoxification acupuncture technique that could expel any poison through silver needles, as long as the patient still had a breath left in them.

So, she could administer the acupuncture to detoxify Tao Tao while the cesarean section was being performed.

"But Miss Xia, you don’t have a medical license, do you? The hospital has regulations that non-medical personnel cannot enter the operating room and disrupt the surgery. And even if we agreed, would the patient’s family agree?" The doctor still refused, as the hospital was a place where human lives were at stake, and they couldn’t just act recklessly.

Xia Ningxing furrowed her brows, watching as time slipped away. Tao Tao couldn’t afford any more delays.

Just as Xia Ningxing was thinking of another way, Mrs. Yu’s eyes shifted, revealing a hint of scheming, and she suddenly spoke up for Xia Ningxing, "Doctor, since Miss Xia has a way to ensure the safety of mother and child, then let her try. We, the patient’s family, absolutely agree 100 percent!"

"Mom, have you lost your mind?" Yu Heng got anxious as soon as he heard this, hurriedly speaking to his mother, "Miss Xia only understands some pharmacology; how could she deliver a baby? Proper doctors can’t guarantee the safety of mother and child, let alone her. Mom, don’t you want your grandson anymore?"

If the wife is gone, she’s gone, but his own flesh and blood can’t be lost too!

"And you’re calling me confused? I think it’s clear that you are the fool!" Mrs. Yu lowered her voice, pulling him aside, and said, "Didn’t the doctor say your wife was poisoned? Who knows if the baby in her womb was also affected? The child born might be missing arms or legs, so there’s nothing special about it. Since Miss Xia wants to show off her strength, let her be."

"When something goes wrong, we’ll take the opportunity to extort her for one or two hundred thousand."
