Chapter 1377: Mother and son are safe

Wife fell.

They might lose their child.

This news nearly blew Dong Xuebing's mind.

At 2 p.m., Dong Xuebing's Land Rover swiftly entered the Cheng Gang County First People's Hospital compound.

Screech!

The car abruptly stopped.

Leaving behind tire marks.

"How can someone drive like this?"

"Don't know how to look at the road, huh?"

"Who is this person? What if they hit someone?"

Several officials from Cheng Gang County were shouting.

Dong Xuebing's car was parked right next to several county government vehicles. As he got out of the car, he noticed the photographs being taken of the cars in front and the officials airs displayed on the faces of those people. He instantly understood that Huilan's injury had alarmed the leaders of Cheng Gang County, and quite a few people must have come along. Since these people were waiting downstairs, it indicated that someone of much higher rank was upstairs.

"Do I need you to teach me how to drive?" Dong Xuebing was already furious with Cheng Gang County, and now, with Huilan's life hanging in the balance, he was in a state of rage.

One official said angrily, "Say that again, and I'll teach you a lesson."

Dong Xuebing didn't even bother to respond to him. He walked towards the hospital building.

A few officials from Chenggang County continued to scold him. "Having a good car doesn't mean you can do whatever you want."

Dong Xuebing didn't have the time to deal with them. He walked into the hospital lobby. Where is the pregnant lady who was sent here?

The nurse looked at him. Was she sent here by ambulance?

They sent her over by car.

Then you should ask at the Emergency Department.

I am asking you now! Why the hell should I ask the Emergency Department? Dong Xuebing was very agitated.

The nurse was shocked by Dong Xuebings outburst. She hesitated and checked on her PC. Is the patient, Xie Huilan? Who are you to her?

I am her husband. Where is she?

"Then you better hurry to the emergency room on the second floor."

"How is she doing?"

"I can't see from here. They are still in the process of rescuing."

Impatient, Dong Xuebing ran up the stairs. The nurse behind him reminded him, "Not there. It's the side building on the second floor. At the end of the western corridor."

Dong Xuebing immediately changed direction.

Side building.

Second-floor corridor.

As soon as he went up, Dong Xuebing saw a crowd outside the emergency room. All of them were officials and staff from Cheng Gang County, blocking the way.

"Make way," Dong Xuebing shouted.

"Why are you yelling?" a Staff Member frowned.

Without saying a word, Dong Xuebing pushed him aside.

Another official was also pushed, and he angrily said, "Watch where you're going."

"Who do you think you are?" another official scolded, "They are rescuing inside, and you're pushing through."

Cheng Gang County had an uncouth culture, and this applied not only to the ordinary people but also to the leaders. However, their temper could not compare to Dong Xuebing's. Seeing someone blocking his way and staring at him, Dong Xuebing went up. He directly grabbed the collar of that official, throwing him aside. The person took several steps back before stopping and was about to start yelling.

Fen Zhou Citys officials saw Dong Xuebing.

"Mayor Dong!"

"Mayor Dong is here!"

Everyone hurriedly approached him.

Dong Xuebing anxiously asked, "Where's Huilan?"

Liao Yimin was also inside. "Mayor Xie is still being rescued inside, and it's been a while."

"Is she seriously injured or not? Can she be saved?" Dong Xuebing had reached the emergency room door and pushed it hard, but it was locked.

Liao Yimin said, "No external injuries, but she lost a lot of blood."

Everyone else was standing. Only one middle-aged man was sitting there, looking calm. He was Li Zhixin, Cheng Gang County Mayor, about forty years old, with a lot of dense hair. Li Zhixin looked at Dong Xuebing and, knowing that this might be Mayor Xie's family member, stood up and turned to ask staff from Fen Zhou City, "Is this Mayor Xie's family?"

The people from Fen Zhou City ignored him.

Li Zhixin's face darkened. "I'm talking to you."

The person still didn't speak. Another female staff member from Fen Zhou City, who was accompanying them, indifferently said, "He's Mayor Xie's husband."

"Husband? Mayor Dong?" Li Zhixin was puzzled.

Someone from Cheng Gang County recognized him and whispered to Li Zhixin, "Mayor Li, this person is Dong Xuebing, Zhen Shui County Deputy County Mayor."

"Him?" Li Zhixin squinted.

Hearing this, many officials from Cheng Gang County changed their expressions. Dong Xuebing had slapped their faces last time. After the incident with Mayor Jiang, their county had been criticized, and they weren't in a good mood. So, when they heard that Dong Xuebing, who had beaten their county villagers, was here, they all looked at him with disapproval. Cheng Gang County and Zhen Shui County were old adversaries who didn't like each other.

This guy had beaten their county villagers.

How could such a young and disrespectful Deputy County Mayor be Mayor Xie's husband?

Dong Xuebing wasn't bothered by their expressions. He hit the emergency room door and tried to push it open. However, it was locked. He didn't feel at ease without seeing Xie Huilan.

Li Zhixin frowned, blocking him for a moment. "They are currently rescuing inside. Stop knocking. It will affect the doctors. Sit down and calm down for a while."

Dong Xuebing looked at him. "Who are you to tell me?"

"How can you speak like that?" An official said angrily.

People from Fen Zhou City didn't know why, but their eyes towards Li Zhixin and the other officials were not very friendly. Liao Yimin felt the same but said, "This is Mayor Li Zhixin of Cheng Gang County."

Seeing the people's attitude in Fenzhou City, Dong Xuebing knew Huilan's injury wasn't from her falling. Something else must have happened. But he didn't look at Li Zhixin. His thoughts were entirely on his wife. Other matters could be discussed later. What he cared about most was the safety of his wife and child.

One minute

Two minutes

Three minutes

The door to the emergency room suddenly opened.

A doctor and two nurses walked out. "Are the family members here?"

"I am," Dong Xuebing rushed up in a step. "How is Huilan? Is she in life-threatening danger?" His first concern was his wife.

The doctor looked at him and said, "She's fine."

People from Fen Zhou City breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed the same for those from Cheng Gang County.

Dong Xuebing's back was covered in cold sweat. Only after hearing the doctor's words did he feel relieved. As long as she was fine, he was relieved. However, his worry shifted to the child.

The doctor said, "The child has been temporarily stabilized, but the situation is still uncertain. We need to observe for some time."

Another doctor came out, "Fortunately, they arrived in time. Otherwise, the mother and the child were in danger, especially the child. It was close."

Thank goodness.

Dong Xuebing's legs went weak for a moment. He was afraid of hearing any bad news. He quickly thanked the doctor, Liao Yimin, and the people from Fen Zhou City again for bringing Huilan to the hospital on time.

He was buried in a landslide, attacked by a Siberian tiger, and confronted by dozens of soldiers with guns. During those times, he didn't feel fear. However, when he heard that something happened to his wife and child, a deep sense of fear arose within Dong Xuebing. If Huilan left him, Dong Xuebing couldn't imagine how he would go on in the future.

As long as everything was okay.

Being alive was enough.

Although Dong Xuebing had accumulated seven or eight minutes of remaining time during his hospital stay, most of it had been used during the rescue and surgery. He only had a few minutes left, which wasn't abundant. Moreover, he couldn't be sure whether REVERSE could bring a dead person back to life. So, Dong Xuebing still felt lingering fear. If reversing didn't work, he could not save his child.

"Please make way." The doctor said.

After a moment, several nurses pushed a bed out of the emergency room. On it, Xie Huilan lay pale, still unconscious.

Dong Xuebing hurriedly walked over. "Huilan, Huilan."

"Let's go to the ward first." The doctor instructed the nurses to take them to a single-person ward upstairs. Of course, he recognized Li Zhixin and knew this woman was not ordinary. Naturally, everything was given the green light.

Upstairs.

In the ward.

Except for one nurse, only Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan were inside. The people from Cheng Gang County had gone downstairs after she was out of danger. People from Fenzhou City were waiting outside, not disturbing the couple.

"Huilan, wake up, Huilan." Dong Xuebing was not reassured until he saw her wake up.

"Let the patient rest. She is weak right now, and the child's condition needs to be observed for a while. If you have any concerns, call me." After saying this, the nurse also left.

Dong Xuebing gritted his teeth and decisively placed his hand on Huilan's belly.

One second of REVERSE.

The effect of REVERSE was apparent. Since the child was still in danger, Dong Xuebing didn't want to gamble on his son's safety in the hospital.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.nᴇt

He had to ensure the safety of both mother and child.

Xie Huilan's eyelids twitched, waking up.

Dong Xuebing was excited. "Huilan, can you hear me? How do you feel?"

Xie Huilan opened her eyes, looked at him, suddenly tightened her gaze, weakly grasped Dong Xuebing's hand, and asked, "What about the child? Is our child okay?"

Dong Xuebing's eyes reddened. "It's okay. You are both fine."

Xie Huilan stared at him. "Don't lie to me."

Dong Xuebing lowered his head and kissed her fiercely. "Why would I lie to you? The child is fine. Both of you are safe now. Don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Xie Huilan breathed a sigh of relief, reached out with difficulty, touched her belly, and showed a kind smile. "Little one, you scared your mom."

Her wrist was also injured, probably from protecting her belly during the fall. Dong Xuebing quickly said, "Let me see your hand."

Xie Huilan smiled, "As long as the child is fine, it's okay. I am fine."
