After a couple of seconds, the receptionist put down the phone and said apologetically, "I've called the office line, but no one picked up . Perhaps they're in surgery . "
"Okay, thank you," Qin Chu thanked the nurse politely and went straight to the OB/GYN Emergency Room on the fourth floor .
Qin Chu wore a pair of casual dress pants with a custom-made dark navy dress shirt . In his hand was a bag of take-out .
He was contemplating how he should coax Huo Mian, but he realized that the door to the OB/GYN office was wide open, with no one inside .
Huo Mian probably went to check on patients if she's not in the office at this hour .
Qin Chu thought to himself as he lit a cigarette and leaned against a wall in the hallway as he waited .
It was late at night with barely anyone at the hospital, so no one would have a problem with him smoking .
Inside the OR, Huo Mian skillfully took the baby out and snipped its umbilical cord . Then, she finally let out a sigh of relief .
"Yue, weigh the newborn, show the baby to the father, and then take it to the newborn clinic . "
"Okay, is it a boy or girl?" Huang Yue was very excited when she heard the newborn cry .
"She's a baby girl . "
"Girls are good . They are like their mothers' little warm blankets . This mother is very lucky," said Huang Yue as she took the newborn . She cleaned up the baby and put her on an electronic scale for weighing .
"52 centimeters in height, and 9 . 4 pounds," Huang Yue said happily .
"9 . 4 pounds is not a small baby . " Huo Mian smiled as she wiped the beads of sweat off her forehead .
"Yeah, she's a big baby who was in the breech position! No wonder her mother couldn't go through natural labor," Huang Yue muttered .
"Mian, I'm taking the baby out now, are you okay by yourself in here?"
"I'm fine, you can go . " Huo Mian began carefully sewing up the patient's wound . She was fast and accurate and finished within twenty minutes .
After the surgery, Huo Mian looked at the patient's vitals . She let out a sigh of relief when all her stats pointed towards normalcy .
She then walked out of the OR in hopes of finding the patient's husband to help her push the patient into the recovery room .
But the hallway was empty, without a soul in sight . . .
"Mian, are you done? How's the patient?" Huang Yue walked over .
"Don't worry, everything's fine . Where's the patient's family?"
"Oh, him . He left in anger as soon as I told him the baby was a girl . "
"He left? How can he leave?" Huo Mian asked in disbelief . His wife just gave birth . She's still in the OR, and he left?
"Did he pay before he left?" Huang Yue asked fearfully .
Last year, around this time, it was said that a patient's family left without paying . So, the patient secretly ran away as well . In the end, the ten-thousand-yuan surgical fee was split between the nurses and doctors . This caused quite a bit of trauma to the health care providers . So, the OB/GYN department's chief, Chief Wang, made a decision that patients' families had to pay before an operation, regardless of how serious the situation was . Or else, the hospital would not perform the surgery .
"Yes, I saw his deposit slit before operating on his wife . " Huo Mian was smart, so she wouldn't have allowed a loophole like that to happen .
Huang Yue let out a sigh of relief as soon as she heard that the fees had been paid .
"So what do we do now?" Clueless, Huang Yue looked at Huo Mian .
"Let's take the patient to her room, be careful of her wound . "
"Okay . "
It took a lot of effort for Huang Yue and Huo Mian to carry the patient off the surgical bed .
They then pushed her into the ICU for a 24-hour-period of monitoring . After everything was done, Huo Mian returned to the clinic feeling extremely tired .
From afar, she saw a familiar shadow leaning against the wall in front of the clinic . It was a man whose side view made you forget how to breathe .
"Who is that? He's so hot!" Huang Yue mumbled .
At the same time, Qin Chu heard footsteps . The aloofness in his eyes became tender the moment he saw Huo Mian .
