CHAPTER 342: CHAPTER 342: THE MADMAN (1)

"Find some people to help move the mother onto the bed!"

"Hey, miss, could you lend us a hand?"

Lin Xiaoyan was taken aback, seeing only a man and an older woman with the mother, the woman holding a child, clearly needing help.

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Sure."

At this moment, Nan Xi also came over, and seeing Lin Xiaoyan helping, she went over too.

"There are too few people, we need more, preferably men, men are stronger!"

The doctor looked at the family members and said.

"But... where can we find people?" The middle-aged woman was anxious, as there was no one else from their family.

Lin Xiaoyan looked around and said, "I’ll call my dad and my brother."

The nurse called two male family members from other wards to help move the mother onto the bed.

Lin Xiaoyan didn’t help with the lifting, but as everyone was helping to move, she saw the blanket on the woman moving aside. She quickly reached out to hold the blanket and covered the woman properly.

The woman lay weakly on the bed, looking at Lin Xiaoyan with gratitude, saying, "Thank you, thank you so much."

Lin Xiaoyan smiled and shook her head, "It’s nothing, just lie down comfortably."

Lin Xiaoyan also placed the woman’s head onto the pillow, and yet, as she touched the woman, a familiar feeling came over her.

After gently straightening the woman’s head, Lin Xiaoyan looked at the pale, weak woman and then at her family.

The man seemed to be the woman’s husband, currently listening to the nurse’s instructions.

The middle-aged woman, unsure if she was the mother-in-law or the mother, was changing the baby’s diaper at the moment.

"Thank you all very much. We didn’t know what to do without your help!"

Noticing Lin Xiaoyan’s gaze, the woman’s mother-in-law repeatedly expressed her thanks.

She then handed two bottles of milk to Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi.

Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi declined the gesture and went out to get hot water.

"Sister Nan, about that family just now..."

In the water room, Lin Xiaoyan lowered her voice, speaking to Nan Xi about the "vision" she had just had.

Hearing Lin Xiaoyan’s words, Nan Xi’s eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Lin Xiaoyan.

"How could such a thing happen!" Nan Xi was astonished.

Lin Xiaoyan shook her head, "I didn’t expect it either, things are just so... sigh~"

Nan Xi furrowed her brows tightly, "People like that are hard to deal with, and the law can’t do much either."

Lin Xiaoyan let out a gentle breath, "Indeed, but that’s not the reason for his wrongdoing, nor a reason for him to escape legal responsibility!"

Lin Xiaoyan got hot water and returned to the ward with Nan Xi.

Zhang Qian was lying weakly on the bed, turning her head to look at the baby on the small bed.

"Mom, bring the baby over, I want to see."

Zhang Qian’s mother-in-law quickly and cautiously brought the baby over, "Look, the baby’s eyes are already open, didn’t expect them to open right after birth.

My granddaughter’s eyes, she’ll definitely be as beautiful as you!"

Zhang Qian looked at her soft, yawning daughter, her heart melting.

Zhang Qian’s husband, Li Zhi, came over, looked at the IV bottle, then down at his wife, "How do you feel? Does it hurt?"

Zhang Qian looked away from the baby and smiled weakly at her husband, "There’s anesthesia, it doesn’t hurt."

"Once the anesthesia wears off, it will hurt, but thankfully there’s a pain pump now, otherwise it would be unbearable!" Zhang Qian’s mother-in-law looked at her daughter-in-law with sympathy.

"Sigh, your aunt and the others said they would come, but they aren’t here yet, they can’t be relied on!"

Thinking about how no one helped when her daughter-in-law came out, Zhang Qian’s mother-in-law felt some resentment toward the in-laws.

They had originally agreed to come to help earlier today for Qianqian’s delivery, but now, even after the baby is born, they haven’t arrived!

Li Zhi: "Mom, don’t be mad. My aunts have things to do at home, they can only come after sending their kids to school."

Zhang Qian thought her mother-in-law was upset that her parents hadn’t arrived and quickly explained, "My parents live far away, they probably won’t arrive until this afternoon."

Zhang Qian’s mother-in-law waved her hand, "I’m not talking about your parents. You went into labor early; your parents couldn’t have anticipated that.

I’m just upset with your aunts. I told them so clearly last night to come early to the hospital... sigh, forget it, let’s not talk about them."

"As long as our family is fine, that’s what matters. Qianqian, are you hungry?"

Li Zhi quickly added, "The nurse said Qianqian needs to expel gas before she can eat."

Zhang Qian’s mother-in-law nodded, "Alright, Qianqian, let us know as soon as you’ve expelled gas, you didn’t eat much last night, and you haven’t eaten this morning, you must be hungry."

Zhang Qian smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Li Zhi noticed his wife was fatigued and softly said, "You should sleep. Mom and I will be here with the baby."

"Okay"

Zhang Qian closed her eyes and drifted to sleep. She hadn’t slept well due to nerves the night before because the baby was coming in the morning; once she closed her eyes, she fell asleep.

Seeing her daughter-in-law asleep, Zhang Qian’s mother-in-law and husband lowered their voices.

Meanwhile, a man with a smile on his face entered the elevator.

He stood in front of the elevator door, looking at the floor directory, talking to himself.

People coming and going didn’t take notice of him.

"Second floor, Cardiology... all elderly people!

Third floor, Hematology...

Fourth floor...

Sixth floor, Obstetrics... haha, that’s great!"

"Sixth floor... to the sixth floor... haha..."

The elevator arrived, and the man moved with the crowd into the elevator.

"Sixth floor... sixth floor..."

The man entered the elevator and kept pressing the button for the sixth floor, but no matter how hard he pressed, it wouldn’t light up. His actions grew increasingly agitated, his expression turning volatile.

"Young man, this is a single-floor elevator; if you want to reach the sixth floor, you have to take the opposite elevator." An elderly man next to him kindly reminded him as he watched the man’s actions.

Upon hearing this, the man pushed through the crowd, left the elevator, and headed straight to the opposite side.

"What a weirdo!"

The elevator doors closed, and someone whispered this. Others, recalling the man’s actions, found it somewhat odd.

"Family of Zhang Qian, the baby needs to get a BCG vaccine. Please carry the baby over later..."

Li Zhi stood up and quickly agreed.

"By the way, the doctor wants the family to visit the doctor’s office for a discussion." The nurse instructed.

Li Zhi felt a jolt in his heart, thinking it must be about his wife’s uterine fibroid, and he nodded, indicating he’d go immediately.

Zhang Qian’s mother-in-law, holding the baby, looked at her son, "Son, you go to the doctor’s office; I’ll take the baby for the vaccine."

Li Zhi glanced at his sleeping wife, then at the IV drip, still half a bottle left, and thought he should be back soon.

"Okay, I’ll go to the doctor’s office to see the doctor now."

Before long, Zhang Qian was left alone in the hospital room, sleeping.

"Hmm? This one’s great! She’s beautiful, haha... haha..."

In her dreams, Zhang Qian suddenly felt someone standing in front of her, staring at her, leaving her with a creepy sensation.
