Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 15: Chapter 10 Mother and Child are Safe

The infant was suffocating!

Without time to consider anything else, Gu Changsheng swiftly put the baby on the bed, rubbed his hands together to warm them, and then began performing CPR. It hadn’t been long, he could still make it, he must make it. This child had just come into this world, and hadn’t even had the chance to open his eyes to see this colorful world.

The surrounding silence was deathly, the only sound was Gu Changsheng’s hands rhythmically pressing…

“Wife, Madam is bleeding!” A shocked midwife, pointing at the blood slowly seeping from beneath Madam Du, didn’t know what to do.

“What are you shouting for? Clean it up, stitch up the cut I just made and apply the hemostatic powder.” Glancing distractedly, Madam Du’s current condition was still manageable, although she had lost a lot of blood, she hadn’t suffered massive bleeding. This was truly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

“Stitch it up? How do I sew?” The midwife didn’t know how to intervene, everything she had seen today exceeded her understanding. How could that area be cut open? How could a hand be inserted? How could…

“Ever sewed clothes? Sew it up like you sew clothes! Stitch up that incision for me!” Gu Changsheng, too busy to be distracted, kept his eyes anxiously on the little baby…

Time trickled by, a full-blown ordeal.

Just when Gu Changsheng was about to give up, a faint fluctuation came from his hands…

Gu Changsheng’s eyes suddenly lit up with endless brilliance, his hands didn’t stop, following the weak rhythm of the heartbeat, exerting pressure cooperatively. This was the hope for life…

“Wah wah… wah wah…”

For those outside the maternity room, this cry of an infant was nothing less than the sound of heaven…

“It’s a boy, the child is born…” Old Madam Du cried out excitedly, clutching Elder Master Du’s arm tightly, her face streaming with tears, “Master, our Du Family has a descendant now…”

“Wanniang…” Young Master Du also cried out, his face showing not joy but frightened concern, and he immediately rushed towards the maternity room.

Young Master, you can’t go in there, this is the maternity room…” The diligent Nanny stopped him at the door, feeling a sigh of relief herself, it was finally over! Just uncertain if it was mother and child both safe, or…

Gu Changsheng, after cleaning up, glanced at the baby crying vigorously and then at Madam Du who had passed out, and suddenly felt completely drained.

Squatting for too long and being highly concentrated, plus these pitiful medical conditions, each was challenging his limits.

Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise, he could have lost a patient on his hands!

Gu Changsheng took a deep breath and left the maternity room with the respectful support of the midwife.

When she came out, the crowd outside the room fell silent.

“It’s a boy, he weighs…” Under the expectant eyes of many, Gu Changsheng dutifully made his post-operative report, but how much did he weigh again? There wasn’t an electronic scale…

Seeing everyone holding their breath and watching her, Gu Changsheng didn’t fuss further, “The child is healthy. Although there was postnatal asphyxiation, the rescue was timely, and there were no serious issues.”

“And, Wanniang? How is she?” Young Master Du asked tremulously.

“Madam Du has lost a lot of blood and has passed out,” Gu Changsheng glanced at him and continued, “I’ve already written a prescription. After brewing the medicine, let her eat something when she wakes up and then have her take it.”

“Divine Doctor, our Du Residence will forever be grateful for your lifesaving grace!” Old Madam Du, letting go of Elder Master Du’s arm, was about to kneel down. The midwives had said there was no hope, she thought, she thought…

With a look from Gu Changsheng, Han Qiu quickly stepped forward to stop her, “Old Madam, there’s no need for such gestures, it’s merely my duty as a doctor.”

“Does the Du Residence have any guest rooms?” She urgently needed to rest now, her body completely soaked in sweat and exhausted, isn’t it? How come no one cared about her? She worked tiredly, saving lives at risk, was it easy for her?

They had no respect for the doctor at all!

“Yes, yes, yes!” Elder Master Du finally snapped back from the joy of having a grandson, his face streaming with grateful tears, completely lacking his former authority.

What are you still staring at? Gu Changsheng was furious!

“If it weren’t for the fact that I need to remove stitches from Madam Du in three to five days, I wouldn’t bother, but just… Damn it, if you don’t arrange a place for me to rest now, let your daughter-in-law endure those sutures for life! I guess your family will end up with just this one grandson, that’s all you are capable of!”

“Someone, take the Divine Doctor to the Lanqiu Courtyard to rest!” Elder Master Du came to his senses and hurriedly instructed, “Serve her well, and don’t neglect her.”

Gu Changsheng looked at an elderly Nanny who stepped forward respectfully to lead the way, not lingering any longer, pulled on the Little Meat Bun who was eagerly looking at her because she really had no energy to hold him…
