Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Encounter, Reunion (30)

Maybe it was the director’s overly firm attitude that stunned Wang into silence, leaving him unable to come up with a rebuttal. He hesitated, but the cries of the woman in labor grew louder and louder, so reluctantly, Wang finally signed the document.

The director then said to the doctor, "Go on, I’ll bear the responsibility!"

The doctor discreetly wiped away a tear and went in with the nurse.

The onlookers gradually dispersed. Although Tu Hengsha also left with them, she still had her mind on the matter and hadn’t gone far. She was quite worried, thinking, "I just hope this child can be born smoothly. Without equipment and instruments, it’s really concerning! If anything goes wrong, even if the document is signed, Wang might still cause trouble, and the doctor would be the one to suffer!"

Su Ronggui did not give her a response.

She had become accustomed to his silence, so she simply sat down on the ground at one end of the corridor, waiting for the result at the other end across the hallway.

He stood in front of her, staring at her with dark, somber eyes.

She felt a bit uncomfortable being watched, so she patted the ground beside her and asked, "Do you want to sit down and wait?"

He averted his gaze but then looked back at her, "Hmm," he said with a sigh, "Don’t you think you’re a little careless?"

"..." Is he saying she’s a girl and shouldn’t be sitting on the ground like this? In moments like these, does it really matter? Look at those soldiers all covered in mud! She cleared her throat and said, "Xiao Xu! The first assignment my first mentor took me on after I entered the field was completed while squatting by a stinking gutter, squatting for most of the night! Although it was to secretly photograph a celebrity’s privacy, my teacher told me that in our line of work, no matter the status, our spirit must not falter! We have to have the spirit of not fearing dirt or hardship..."

"But you’re wearing my pants!"

Her mouth hung open, and she abruptly stopped.

"Oh... sorry... I forgot..."

She pretended to get up, but then he turned around and sat down next to her.

"Aren’t you being careless yourself?" She really couldn’t understand this person.

"That’s my business!" He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

"..." He often used the closing-his-eyes trick to deal with her! She made a face at him.

From the other end of the hallway, sporadic fragments of conversation between Wang and Mrs. Wang could be heard.

"Why are you arguing with the doctor at a time like this? You should ask for help when you need it."

"Mom, I did it on purpose! These people bully the weak and fear the strong. If you’re not tough, they might retaliate and do something. We can’t guard against every possibility! We have to threaten them first to make them afraid!"

"What if there’s really a problem with the fetal position? There are no conditions for surgery here!"

"Well, I’m not just talking nonsense! If anything happens, I won’t let these doctors have it easy!"

"Pfft, pfft, pfft! I’d rather have nothing happen!"

On this point, the Wang family, Tu Hengsha, and everyone else shared the same thought, hoping the child would be born safely.

But the process was too long, and hours passed with nothing but the intermittent cries coming from the small office.

Tu Hengsha had been waiting all along, but the past two days had been so exhausting that, eventually, her eyelids began to betray her, and her mind wandered in and out of consciousness. The cries of the woman in labor drifted in and out of her awareness. Then, a voice next to her said, "Get some sleep, I’ll keep an eye on things."

With those words, the tension in her heart eased, and she truly fell asleep.

Sleeping against the wall was really uncomfortable. Before long, her body instinctively tilted to one side. At first, she could control it; when her balance tipped, she would sit upright again before falling back asleep. She repeated this several times, but eventually, she couldn’t resist it anymore. She tilted over and didn’t get back up, sinking into a deep sleep.
