Chapter 279

When Zhi Xia gave birth, Guo Momo and her newborn were both rushed for emergency treatment.

It was a boy, weighing 4.7 jin. He didn't cry at all after birth. His whole body was black and blue, with blisters on his chest. His facial features were still blurry, clearly underdeveloped.

Pei JianGuo was stunned. Old Pei came to inquire about Zhi Xia despite his hardship. She didn't hide anything and told him the truth.

The baby was born but the situation was still not good. Whether he would live or die depended on the effect of the emergency treatment.

"Dad, what on earth happened to Momo? Do you know?"

Pei JianGuo was beyond help. As a grown man, he couldn't take the blow. Zhi Xia could only ask Old Pei.

"She...fell down." It was an extremely perfunctory answer. She didn't know whether Old Pei really didn't know or pretended not to know.

She didn't bother asking anymore and found a place to sit, waiting for the result of the emergency treatment.

Before Guo Momo was taken away, Zhi Xia fed her some life water, hoping it would help. Findd new stories at novelhall.com

After all, it was a living life, a young girl.

Pei Sheng and Jiang Su also hurried over to inquire about the situation.

Old Pei gave the same answer. Jiang Su regretted and said with such a big belly, how could she have an accident and not been more careful.

An ZhiXian hadn't left. Zhi Xia told him to go back first. There were so many people here already and it was useless. Moreover, he had to work tomorrow. Doctors couldn't rest well.

He didn't insist on staying and only told Zhi Xia to take care of herself.

It wasn't until late into the night that Guo Momo was moved into a ward and the baby survived. But he would need careful attention in the future given his poor health. Even a minor illness could take his life.

As for Guo Momo, the damage to her body this time was too great. She may have trouble conceiving in the future.

But that didn't matter. As long as Zhi Xia was willing and Guo Momo was alive, she could recover.

Old Pei was getting on in years and Pei JianGuo was beyond hope. Jiang Su sighed helplessly, "I'll stay here with Momo. You guys go back and rest if nothing else. Whoever has time tomorrow, come over to take over for me?"

Old Pei looked at Pei JianGuo for a long time before calling out in disappointment, "JianGuo, lying inside is your wife. Look at yourself now. As a man, do you have any sense of responsibility?"

Her face was ghastly white without a trace of color. Fortunately her chest still rose and fell, indicating she was still alive.

Jiang Su wolfed down the rice and asked Zhi Xia, "Zhi Xia, can you stay here and keep watch for a bit if you're free until JianGuo comes to take over? I really have to get to work and don't have time to keep waiting."

"Then you go. I'll stay here and watch," Zhi Xia said.

Jiang Su told her what to pay attention to and to use a spoon to moisten Guo Momo's lips from time to time before hurrying off.

It wasn't until midday that Pei JianGuo finally arrived, still wearing yesterday's rumpled clothes. He looked rather disheveled.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I came late," stubble was sprouting on Pei JianGuo's face, making him look slovenly.

And he came empty-handed, clearly in a rush.

Of course, it wasn't because he had something important to do. After returning home last night, he had felt restless. Bumping into Wang Yue's nagging, he had lain in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep until it was almost dawn before he finally drifted off, waking up only now.

He hadn't washed his face or brushed his teeth, just directly rushing over.

Some people were like that by nature, not something that could be changed by scolding.

Zhi Xia briefed him on what to pay attention to before leaving to return home, as she still worried about whether Pei JianGuo could properly care for the patient. She asked Sister Zhang to hurry over, with Old Pei going along too.

With no one home, Zhi Xia felt the difference having no help with so many kids.

From morning to night, she was exhausted to the point of fuming.

Of course the matter with Guo Momo could not be kept from Pei Yong. It was only later that Zhi Xia learned that Guo Momo fell because of Pei Shuangshuang.

Wang Yue didn't truly want to sever ties when she told them to move out. Seeing their situation getting better and better, she could no longer use money to coerce them otherwise it would only push her son further away.

Guo Momo understood Pei JianGuo's temper. Wang Yue was even clearer about her son's character.

Starting half a month ago, she had coaxed Pei JianGuo back home, then put all kinds of pressure on Guo Momo while Pei Shuangshuang constantly caused trouble.

Finally, Guo Momo couldn't stand it anymore and talked back a few times. Pei Shuangshuang pushed her to the ground and she started heavily bleeding on the spot.

Old Pei had wanted to smooth things over but if not for Guo Momo waking up and calling the hospital and police for help, Zhi Xia and the rest would still be kept in the dark.
