Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 1199: Chapter 865: A Mother’s Love, Irreplaceable!

Gu Changsheng saw Beauty Sai’s reaction and immediately knew what she wanted to ask.

As a qualified doctor, understanding the psychology of patients is a compulsory course, and Gu Changsheng was especially adept at this!

”Beauty Sai, I will use all my lifelong learning to ensure the safe delivery of your twins! But, the real battle will begin after you give birth. Whether you can get through it or not, even with the best efforts from me and the Old Man, we only have about seventy percent certainty. The remaining thirty percent depends on your own will to live—whether you choose to lie on this operating table never to awaken, or open your eyes to see your children, it’s up to you!” Saying this, Gu Changsheng lowered his head, glanced at the medicine bowl in Beauty Sai’s hand, and continued in a solemn tone, ”Inside this is a Powder for Anesthesia that I personally prepared. Since I cannot guarantee how long the surgery will take, I have used a full dose. You’ll be in a deep coma within two Shichen, and you won’t even feel your child’s birth, but I must tell you, your children will be born safely, yet with regards to the battle concerning your life and death, I have no absolute certainty. I hope you...”

”Southern Emperor!” Beauty Sai suddenly interrupted before Gu Changsheng could finish, looking at him with a determined smile full of relief, ”Southern Emperor, you don’t need to say so much. As long as I’m sure my children will be alright, even if I have to die now, I would do so willingly without a blink of an eye!”

With that, Beauty Sai lifted the medicine bowl towards her mouth, her face filled with resolute determination.

She was a mother, and to a mother, nothing is more important than the children in her womb.

She was also a woman, and faintly, she had this feeling that it was almost impossible for her children to be born safely because her belly was just too large. Now, with Gu Changsheng here, ensuring her kids’ safety, what more could she ask for?

She had nothing else to ask for!

What she asked for, Gu Changsheng had already promised her!

Gu Changsheng watched the medicine bowl nearing Beauty Sai’s mouth, swiftly reaching out to grab the other side of it. His face, hidden beneath the mask, revealed only a pair of phoenix eyes, gazing deeply into Beauty Sai’s. Locking eyes, he said in a deep voice, ”Beauty Sai, listen to me carefully, giving birth to your children is not your final mission; you must persevere! You must safely leave the operating table!”

Upon hearing this, Beauty Sai’s face broke into a relieved smile, her stunning beauty suddenly unveiled. Looking at Gu Changsheng, she spoke with a smile, ”Gu Changsheng, if my children can be born safely, I will have fulfilled my duty to my husband, to the Guo Family. I seek nothing else; don’t feel pressured, life and death are fated, wealth and status ordained by heaven. Even if I die, I will remember your kindness in saving my children and will not blame you!”

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s brows furrowed tightly. He kept his grip on the edge of the medicine bowl, shaking his head, and said solemnly, ”No! As a doctor, I’ve never cared if a patient would blame me, I just seek a clear conscience! But Beauty Sai, I must tell you, the idea of being relieved after giving birth is unacceptable; it will cost you your life!”

Mentality! Will!

How crucial is it for a patient, for one about to contend with death?

No one understands this better than Gu Changsheng, a battlefield military doctor!

A person’s will to survive can conquer all, work miracles, overturn constants in the medical field, and transform decay into magic!

”Beauty Sai, children without a mother live a hard life; no one will love them, guide them, remind them to wear more clothes when it’s cold, or be by their side when they fall ill. When they grow a little older, other kids will point at them and call them motherless. Do you know that?” Gripping the medicine bowl, Gu Changsheng looked at Beauty Sai with a grave expression, ”Beauty Sai, do you want your children to be motherless? A child without a mother is like a rootless grass, but with a mother, they are treasured gems. Do you want your children to be gems or grass?”

”But my husband...” Upon hearing this, Beauty Sai’s face flashed with pain, hesitating to speak.

”You’re thinking that Guo Luo and the others will love your children, aren’t you?” Gu Changsheng interrupted, speaking in a deep voice, ”I have to tell you, no one can replace the role a mother plays in a child’s life! Neither grandfather nor father can! A mother is irreplaceably important to a child; she is their earliest and deepest attachment in this world. Ten months of pregnancy, the labor pains—maternal love is the child’s first world...”

As Gu Changsheng spoke, she couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart, sniffling in empathy.

In both her past and present lives, she had missed out on this motherly love, which had now become her deepest obsession!

No one emerges from the cracks in stones; the yearning for a mother’s warmth is an innate instinct, irreplaceable!

”Southern Emperor... Gu Changsheng, you...” Beauty Sai widened her eyes at the words.

Gu Changsheng regrouped his thoughts and, looking at the visibly moved Beauty Sai before him, continued in a deep voice, ”So, Beauty Sai, no matter what, please survive. With the help of me and the old man, you must hold firm your belief in living. Giving birth to them is not the end of your mission, but the beginning of your mission as a mother. You have no reason to die, and even less reason to confidently tell me you have no further desires!”

”I...” Beauty Sai became visibly tense, and her complexion changed slightly upon hearing this.

”Beauty Sai, you are a mother. Your child’s birth marks the true beginning of your motherhood. As a mother, you must fulfill the responsibilities of nurturing, educating, and guiding them to see this vibrant world. Beauty Sai, you must live; you must. Not for yourself, but for your children, who will soon be born and need your care. You must live!” Gu Changsheng clasped Beauty Sai’s hands that were holding the Medicine Bowl, looked her in the eyes, and said in a deep voice, ”Beauty Sai, don’t you want to see your children with your own eyes? To watch them open their eyes? To see them grow up little by little?”

”I... I do... but I’m afraid...” Beauty Sai knew what she had to face. Gu Changsheng had already told her that her abdomen would be cut open, her child taken from the incision. She was unsure whether she could survive...

She herself wasn’t sure if she could endure it...

”It’s not about wanting! Beauty Sai! You must be firm; you will survive! Trust me, trust yourself. You are a mother, and with a mother’s strength, you will get through this safely, see your children grow up safely. You can do this. Never give up on living, no matter the circumstances. I will be with you, and the old man will be with you! Your children will be with you! You will persevere, right to the end!” Gu Changsheng said, his phoenix eyes never wavering from Beauty Sai, transmitting hope for life.

The Medicine Immortal Old Man, listening by the side, also nodded in agreement, unusually serious as he nodded his head, ”That’s right! I’ll be with you too! Big-bellied woman, don’t give up your belief in life. We won’t give up on you, so you have no reason to give up on your own life. Get through this together with us. There hasn’t been a single death under my hand. If you make me break this record and tarnish my name as the Medical Immortal, believe me, I will strangle each of your newborn children in front of you!”

The Medicine Immortal Old Man spoke, making a grim face at Beauty Sai.

”Hehe...” Upon seeing this, Beauty Sai laughed, then put away her smile, firmly nodded at Gu Changsheng and the Medicine Immortal Old Man, ”Okay! I won’t die! For my children not to be left without a mother, I won’t die! I will get through this! You must help me! You must help me get through this! I will see my children with my own eyes! I will definitely survive!”

”Good! We will help you! We will be with you! We will never give up on you! You mustn’t give up on yourself either!” Gu Changsheng nodded, releasing the grip on the Medicine Bowl.

”Help me! Help me give birth to my children, then save me! Please!” Beauty Sai looked at the two before her and said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng and the Medicine Immortal Old Man exchanged a glance and nodded solemnly at her.

Upon seeing this, Beauty Sai’s lips curled up slightly. She lifted her head and drank the Powder for Anesthesia in the Medicine Bowl in one go.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng quickly picked up a white cloth nearby to wipe the medicinal residue from her lips, then supported Beauty Sai’s weighted waist to help her lie down.

”To live a life and have the Southern Emperor serve one like this, dying would be worth it!” Lying on the operating table, Beauty Sai teased, looking at Gu Changsheng carefully attending to her.

Hearing this, Gu Changsheng quickly rolled his eyes, ”Stop talking, conserve your strength, then, close your eyes, take a nap. When you wake up, your children will be lying beside your hands...”

”Alright.” Only then did Beauty Sai put away her smile, saying to the two at the operating table, ”Please, take care of everything.”

Then she obediently closed her eyes...

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng deftly took her wrist to check her pulse, then a knock came from Guo Xianer outside the door, and Gu Changsheng swiftly called her in.

Within half an instant, steady breathing could be heard from Beauty Sai’s lips.

”She’s asleep, so let’s begin!” Gu Changsheng looked at Beauty Sai, raised the brocade belt in his hand, and said in a deep voice...
