"Why? Didn't she say that she could guarantee a full term?" Tangning suddenly panicked . "Aren't I doing fine? Why does it need to be premature?"
"Gestational hypertension isn't an incurable disease, but it may be fatal . . . I don't want to take any risks," Mo Ting replied, "That's why I agreed to bring forward your labor . "
Tangning froze, unable to process the news .
"What are the consequences of giving a premature birth?"
"Both mother and daughter will be safe . But, the child may experience some negative repercussions . "
Mo Ting replied honestly .
After Tangning heard this, she shook her head, "I can hold on . We don't need to bring it forward . I have no control over how the child will be after it is born . But, for now, while it's still in my stomach, I will do all I can to give it the best life possible . I don't want it to suffer because of my selfishness . "
"But, that's just a possibility . . . "
"If it actually develops something, then it's too late," Tangning replied . "Think about it: if the child is actually born with a disorder or defect, do you think I could face that situation in peace?"
"But, it's very dangerous for you!" Mo Ting emphasized .
"I can do it . I won't let myself be triggered again," Tangning said confidently .
"But, I've already agreed to Tang Yichen . . . You may be worried about the child, but I'm worried about you . . . "
After Tangning heard this, she did not say another word as she fell silent .
She wasn't acting recklessly, she simply felt that she could still hold on, so there was no reason to get to that stage . . .
This was the first disagreement between the couple since their marriage . Tangning did not say a word and Mo Ting could only watch in silence .
If Tangning continued to refuse, then the surgery couldn't possibly continue . For Tangning, it was a step that she simply couldn't take . She couldn't use her child's health as an exchange for her own safety .
So, the couple did not speak to each other for three days .
When Tang Yichen saw this, she couldn't help but sigh, "Why must you torment Mo Ting like this? He's simply worried about you and he's afraid of losing you . Plus, you really shouldn't underestimate this disorder . If you faint again, you might report straight to death . Aren't you scared?"
Tangning did not say a word . It was obvious that she was struggling to make a decision .
"Besides, why must you be so pessimistic? Plenty of premature babies are born completely healthy without any repercussions . Why do you always plan for the worst? Must you slice open Mo Ting's heart, one slash at a time?"
"In his world, you and the child are two separate entities . "
"The child has its own life - but you are his life . "
"Your persistence is the worst form of torture for Mo Ting . He's worried about you, but he can't say anything harsh to you . Think about it . "
Tangning remained silent . That night, she forced herself to stay awake as she waited for Mo Ting to come from work . Soon, she felt Mo Ting hold onto her hand as he sat by her bedside and got some rest .
At that moment, Tangning's tears began to flow from her eyes . How did the child become her main priority over Mo Ting?
Soon, Mo Ting was awoken by Tangning's sobs . He immediately sat up and looked at her teary eyes . Without saying a word, he simply helped her wipe away her tears .
"Book me in for surgery as soon as possible . I'll go ahead with it . "
"Huh?" Mo Ting was surprised .
"I can't stand seeing you in pain," Tangning said with a choked up voice . "I can't endure fighting with you any longer . I admit defeat . "
Mo Ting did not say a word as he sat on the bed and pulled Tangning into his embrace . They obviously loved each other, but . . . they also hurt each other as well . However, this was what made them understand the depth of their love for each other .
"Even if the child is born with repercussions, it will still be the luckiest little princess in this world . Do you trust me?"
Tangning nodded her head . The amount of persistence she had before was equivalent to the amount of guilt that she felt now .
"Don't cry anymore, it's bad for your body . "
The next morning, Tang Yichen heard that Tangning agreed to the surgery and said quietly to Mo Ting, "Persistence is indeed the key to victory . She still knows how to think about you . "
"My only request is for you to ensure the safety of the surgery," Mo Ting said to Tang Yichen .
"I don't need you to tell me that . I'll help her find the best obstetrician . . . "
Tang Yichen went ahead and organized everything .
However, there were still some things that were beyond her expectations . Don't forget, she had previously offended the hospital chief's daughter by being with Lu Guangli, and the best obstetrician in the military hospital, happened to be that woman's auntie . . .
Tang Yichen spoke to the obstetrics professor and the professor agreed to take on the surgery . But, when the hospital chief's daughter heard about this, she personally visited her auntie and pleaded for a favor .
She wanted Tang Yichen to agree to one condition .
"Yichen, Guangli is the pride of the military hospital, so it's normal for my niece to like him . She came to me asking for a favor, so I had no choice but to speak to you about it . After all, your relationship with Dr . Lu is really good . "
Tang Yichen needed the professor's help, so she couldn't brush her off . However, she never expected to be betrayed at such a critical moment .
"Dr . Lu has always been a good friend of mine," Tang Yichen replied with a smile .
"Since you're friends, then that's great . . . "
The professor simply wanted to know Tang Yichen's standpoint . And Tang Yichen gave her reply without going against her conscience . After all, she honestly thought that Lu Guangli only thought of her as a friend .
But, when Lu Guangli heard about this . . .
. . . he was not pleased .
Was Tang Yichen being an ungrateful wench?
If she needed a surgery done, she could have asked him . But, not only did she find someone else, she even sold him out .
Did she not care about him at all?
With this thought, Lu Guangli felt himself burn up inside . So, wherever Tang Yichen appeared, he found a way to get revenge by tormenting her .
"Look, how much of a grudge must Dr . Lu have against Tang Yichen?"
"I know, right? He expects her to read such a thick stack of documents in one night? He deserves to be called 'The Demon King' . "
"Poor Yichen . How did she offend Dr . Lu?"
Tang Yichen also wanted to know why she was being punished in such a childish way when she was already in her early thirties .
"Lu Guangli, you a*shole!"
Lu Guangli knew that Tang Yichen would curse at him behind his back . So, he stood behind her to watch the show .
"What could I do when the hospital chief's daughter came to threaten me? I'm just an average doctor . How do I go up against the rich and powerful? I'm suffering too, but who am I supposed to turn to? Besides, you were the one that stood her up and offended her . Did I ask you to keep me company? Jerk, I'm going to bust your balls!"
"Go ahead . . . " Lu Guangli said from behind her .
