Chapter 167: Don't be afraid
The ambulance sped all the way to the hospital and soon Ms. Shen was taken directly into the delivery room.
The red light at the entrance to the delivery room came on, and Wang Ting leaned against the wall, her eyes fixed on the lit light.
Yuan Xiu walked over and patted her on the shoulder: "Sit down and wait. We don't know when they'll be able to come out."
Wang Ting's eyes were blank. "Do you think she'll be alright? Will she be able to give birth to her baby safely?"
"She definitely will!" Yuan Xiu pulled her to sit down. "The medical conditions in our unit are good. I checked on Teacher Shen's condition, and she'll definitely be fine. Don't worry too much."
Wang Ting suddenly grabbed her hand: "I really didn't push her! You have to believe me!"
"I believe in you!" Yuan Xiu said firmly, patting her hand reassuringly.
She didn't believe Sister Zhu's words. If Wang Ting really wanted to harm Teacher Shen, she wouldn't have called the hospital immediately, nor would she have braved the heavy rain to ask her for help.
As a member of the performing arts troupe, she was trained in first aid in the military. She knew better than Sister Zhu how to handle injuries from falls from heights. If she listened to Sister Zhu in everything, Teacher Shen would be in real danger.
Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean that Sister Zhu is a bad person...
Whether there are any problems or not depends on whether Wu Yufen makes any other discoveries.
It's also possible that Ms. Shen's fall down the stairs was just an accident.
Yuan Xiu's words brought tears to Wang Ting's eyes, and she asked again, "Do you really believe me?"
Before Yuan Xiu could answer, she withdrew her hand, her shoulders slumped, and she said softly, "My dad won't believe it. He'll definitely believe that woman. My relationship with Aunt Shen isn't good, and she just happened to fall down the stairs when I was going home. He'll definitely think I pushed her! Just like that woman, he'll treat me like the murderer."
"When Teacher Shen wakes up, she will definitely know how she fell from the building."
Wang Ting's eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed again. "She fell down next to me, so maybe she thought I pushed her."
Yuan Xiu didn't know how to answer this.
Because her water broke before her due date and she fell down the stairs, Ms. Shen had to undergo a cesarean section.
The surgery required a family member's signature. When Wang Ting heard that her abdomen would be cut open and that the doctor couldn't guarantee that the mother and child would be okay, she didn't dare to sign the consent form.
"If you don't sign, who will? Your dad's not here," the obstetrician said impatiently. "Hurry up and sign the papers, don't delay our surgery!"
Wang Ting's hand trembled as she held the pen, and after signing her name, her legs went weak and she couldn't stand up.
Two hours later, the lights outside the delivery room finally went out. Yuan Xiu and Wang Ting stood up at the same time. The delivery room door opened from the inside, and a nurse came out carrying a swaddled baby.
Who are Shen Mingxiu's family members?
"I...I...I am...I am," Wang Ting stammered nervously.
"It's a girl, weighing 5.3 pounds. Mother and daughter are safe!"
Wang Ting breathed a huge sigh of relief!
She had just smiled when a child was thrust into her arms.
Wang Ting: "...Yuan, Yuan Xiu."
Those who knew her were holding a child; those who didn't would have thought she was holding a bomb.
Yuan Xiu smiled and took the child from her arms. They had come in a hurry and hadn't brought anything with them. The child was wrapped in a swaddle blanket made of hospital sheets.
Wang Ting felt much more relaxed without the child in her arms. She leaned closer to look, "She's so ugly!"
Yuan Xiu glanced at her, her words carrying a hint of disdain, but her face was filled with a smile, clearly indicating that she was also quite happy.
This child just can't get over things.
Teacher Shen came out quickly. Seeing her lying on the bed with her eyes closed, Wang Ting hurriedly asked the doctor, "Why are her eyes closed?"
The doctor glanced at her helplessly. "I gave her anesthesia, otherwise how could I perform the surgery? She'll wake up once the anesthesia wears off."
After entering the ward, the doctor began to instruct Wang Ting, "Someone needs to stay with her tonight and check her genitals and incision for bleeding, as well as for fever. If any of these conditions occur, call us immediately."
"Tomorrow morning, gently push her to turn over so she doesn't lie still. Before she passes gas, she can only eat liquids like rice porridge and noodle soup. After she passes gas, she can eat porridge and soft noodles. Wait two more days before resuming her normal diet. Pay attention to the mother's nutrition..."
Wang Ting: "...What is exhaust?"
Doctor: "It's just farting."
Wang Ting: "...Oh."
The doctor gave some other instructions, such as wound care and genital cleaning.
Wang Ting blushed as she listened, and nodded in agreement whenever the doctor told her to remember to do it.
Twenty minutes later, Teacher Shen woke up, still a little dazed. Yuan Xiu placed the child beside her, and she looked at the child before beckoning to Wang Ting.
Wang Ting swallowed nervously, staring at her expectantly. If she was wrongly accused of pushing her, she would leave immediately!
Teacher Shen reached out to pull Wang Ting, but because she was too weak, she put her hand down halfway.
Wang Ting glanced down at her dazzlingly white hands. "What...what do you want to say?"
Teacher Shen: "I know it wasn't you, don't be afraid."
That one sentence made Wang Ting cover her face and cry.
She squatted on the ground like a child, crying with her teeth bared and tears streaming down her face.
"It wasn't me to begin with! Waaah... I may not like you, but I don't hate you either. I would never hurt you! I'm not some old hag or an old man, waaah... waaah..."
"You scared me to death! I thought you'd suddenly disappear like my mom..."
"I've made up my mind. If none of you believe me, I'll go find my brother, and I'll never come back, sob... hiccup! Sob..."
Wang Ting cried for a long time until the baby on the bed started to whimper, at which point she stopped crying.
Wiping away her tears, with her eyes red and swollen, she said, "The doctor said to breastfeed her as soon as you wake up."
Teacher Shen had a surgical wound and couldn't get up easily, so Yuan Xiu put a pillow behind her back and held the baby to her chest so she could feed her.
Wang Ting stood at the other end, watching very carefully.
The baby closed his eyes, moved his little mouth, and quickly found his own bottle, happily drinking from it.
"She's so ugly, what will become of her!" With her worries gone, Wang Ting started complaining about her little sister's appearance again, "She looks like my dad!"
"Yeah, why is she so famous? She's not good-looking at all." Teacher Shen also started to worry, since her husband, Lao Wang, wasn't bad-looking either.
Yuan Xiu: "How can you do this? Saying someone isn't pretty in front of a baby, do you think she can't understand? Newborns are all like this, they'll be fine in a couple of days. No one in your family is ugly, how could she be ugly?"
Wang Ting touched her face; she admitted it!
