After eating an entire plate of cherries, Xia Chenxing touched her slightly bulging stomach and jumped up from the sofa. Now, it was her turn to perform… She chose a refined black suit and touched up her makeup before leaving the house.
… .
City W was densely populated, with many vehicles and little greenery. The air quality was not very good, but the wealthy villas at the edge of the city were covered in green vegetation. The air was fresh and there was almost no noise. It was very livable.
Xia Chenxing parked the car in the public space. She followed the addresses one by one until she found the target villa. She rang the bell beside the front door outside the courtyard. A moment later, the front door opened and she walked towards the villa in her high heels. She had just reached the front door when it opened. It was opened by a servant. The servant was surprised to see someone she didn't recognize. "Who are you looking for, miss?" she asked politely.
Xia Chenxing took out her business card and handed it over with both hands. She smiled and replied, "Hello, I'm the deputy director of Xia's Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. My name is Xia Chenxing. I'm here to visit Mrs. Wan today."
Upon hearing the name, the servant quickly said enthusiastically, "So it's Director Xia. My madam mentioned you yesterday. Please come in." With that, the servant quickly took out a pair of brand new slippers and placed them on the ground in front of Xia Chenxing.
"Thank you." Xia Chenxing entered the house, changed into slippers, and followed the servant into the house. The servant led her to the living room, where Mrs. Wan was sitting opposite her on the sofa. She looked haggard and unwell. There was a man sitting opposite her, his back to Xia Chenxing. Xia Chenxing could not see the man's face. She had not expected Mrs. Wan to have guests. It seemed that the timing was not good, but since she was here, she had to follow the plan.
The servant quickly walked over and whispered something in Mrs. Wan's ear. Mrs. Wan's eyes lit up and she suddenly looked up at Xia Chenxing.
Xia Chenxing quickly greeted, "Hello, Mrs. Wan. We meet again."
Mrs. Wan was surprised and delighted. She quickly stood up and walked over as she said, "Director Xia is here. Please sit down. Aunt Yan, prepare tea."
Mrs. Wan was very enthusiastic. She held Xia Chenxing's hand and invited her to the sofa. Then, she sat beside Xia Chenxing and said helplessly, "Sigh, Director Xia, I really regret not listening to you back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in this state now. I almost lost the child in my stomach."
What had happened was this. Mrs. Wan was six months pregnant, but her belly felt as big as if she were eight months pregnant. The reason was that she had a couple of uterine myomas in her uterus. It wasn't supposed to be a serious illness, especially in a woman's pregnancy, which was common. But there was something special about Mrs. Wan's situation. Her uterine myoma had doubled in one month and was growing rapidly in a short period of time. That had to be taken seriously. The last time she'd been treated, Xia Chenxing had suggested that she perform a cesarean section immediately. Doing so would guarantee Mrs. Wan's life, but the child, as a premature baby, had to be at some risk.
Mrs. Wan strongly objected. She would rather have problems with her body than risk her child. However, a few days ago, she suddenly suffered from abdominal pain and was sent to the hospital. Unexpectedly, she was sent to the hospital in time for Xia Zhixi's consultation. Mrs. Wan had been receiving treatment at the Xia Family Hospital and did not doubt Xia Zhixi's medical skills.
Xia Zhixi had indeed examined Mrs. Wan seriously and listened to the fetal heart. There was nothing wrong with either of them. However, when she heard that Xia Chenxing had suggested that Mrs. Wan perform a cesarean section, she immediately refuted the suggestion. She already hated Xia Chenxing and was very confident in her medical skills, so she directly advised Mrs. Wan to go home and recuperate. She even told her to relax and not be too nervous. Her child was about to reach full term. There was nothing wrong with her body. She should not think too much.
To her surprise, Mrs. Wan was sent back to the hospital the night after she returned home. This time, of course, she was sent to a different hospital. Her abdominal pain had worsened and she had almost miscarried. The doctor had given her a pregnancy-preserving injection and advised her to perform an immediate cesarean section before removing the uterine myoma.
After hearing what happened, Xia Chenxing held Mrs. Wan's hand tightly and comforted her. "I can understand how you feel. As a woman, especially a pregnant mother, your feelings for the child in your womb are very deep. It's not just you. Any mother will sacrifice her health to save the child."
