Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1806: Chapter 1805: A Dilemma of Choosing Between Two Options

The two of them walked to a quieter place before Lin Miao slowed down and said to Gan Tian, ”Tiantian, you saw everything that happened today, right? I really think you should give up on Captain Tian.”

Gan Tian nodded silently. ”I know. He has a wife, and he’s going to be a father.”

”Most importantly, did you notice how his mother-in-law is clearly not someone to mess with? She’s a tough one!”

”Tough? I thought she seemed pretty nice.” Gan Tian, being a kind-hearted person, always saw the best in people.

”Nice? I’m not so sure,” Lin Miao said, her perspective sharper from her broader life experiences. ”Didn’t you notice? She has those upward-angled eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and high cheekbones. Just from her appearance, you can bet she’s not someone you’d want to provoke! I’m certain that if she found out you had feelings for her son-in-law, she wouldn’t let it slide!”

Gan Tian sighed. ”Miaomiao, stop it. When I saw Captain Tian’s wife, I already knew I didn’t stand a chance! Captain Tian is a simple, honest man. I love that about him! But he’s already married. I can only bury these feelings deep inside me. I won’t bother him.”

”Good for you, Tiantian. That’s the right attitude. Come on, let’s head back!” Lin Miao patted Gan Tian on the shoulder. ”You’ll find an even better man, trust me!”

”Mm-hmm!”

Lin Miao and Gan Tian walked shoulder-to-shoulder.

At a corner of the street, a pair of eyes watched them closely through a pair of binoculars.

Only when the two figures completely disappeared from sight did a delicate, fair hand holding a pencil scribble quickly into a notebook.

Flipped her hair three times...

Smiled showing three teeth...

Walking stride approximately twenty centimeters.

Frowns instinctively when feeling upset.

Gu Shuangshuang was enduring agony in the delivery room, her pain overwhelming. She never imagined childbirth could be this unbearable.

”I can’t do it! I won’t do it! Just cut me open! Just cut me open!” she cried out loudly, tears and sweat streaming down her face.

”Stop talking, hold your breath, and push... push harder!” The doctor coached Gu Shuangshuang. ”Don’t waste all your energy on shouting.”

Listening to the doctor, Gu Shuangshuang gathered every ounce of her strength and desperately bore down.

But no matter how hard she tried, the baby just wouldn’t come out.

She’d been in the delivery room for almost three hours, drenched in sweat from head to toe, as though someone had poured water over her.

”I can’t... I can’t anymore,” she murmured weakly, completely drained, her body on the verge of collapse.

”The baby is too big! This is going to be difficult. It’s likely a case of dystocia,” the nurse said anxiously. The contractions were weakening, and Gu Shuangshuang’s strength was fading. If this kept up, the baby might not survive.

The doctor dreaded situations like this the most.

When it came to a difficult labor, it always led to a painful dilemma.

”Should I ask the patient’s family whether they want to save the mother or the baby?” the nurse suggested.

”Hurry, go ask!”

The nurse rushed out of the delivery room, standing at the door and shouting, ”Who’s Gu Shuangshuang’s family?”

”Me! I’m her husband!” Tian Niu leaped forward as soon as he heard the nurse calling. ”How is she? Has my wife delivered the baby yet?”
