Chapter 1196: Zhuangzhuang Critically Ill 6
Lu Jiang lifted his head, his face etched with exhaustion, his eyes bloodshot, a disheveled state only seen on him on the battlefield.
"No need," Lu Jiang’s voice was hoarse as he spoke, "Let the child and his mother be alone for a while. Don’t go in and disturb them. Zhuangzhuang... I know you have all done your best."
Doctor Zhang’s heart ached, and his nurse couldn’t help but let tears fall.
So pitiful, there had never been a time when they felt such a profound hatred for their own helplessness as today.
"Colonel Lu..." Dr. Zhang bent down, patting his shoulder, "You and your sister-in-law mustn’t forget, there are four more children at home waiting for you to return and take care of them!"
As a doctor for so many years, he had become accustomed to seeing the death of children, every year, every month, personally witnessing the departure of several children. The oldest being six or seven years old, the youngest just born. A slight cold could claim their lives; some even took their last breath in his arms. Over time, with so many occurrences, even he had become numb.
After Dr. Zhang and the nurse had left, Guo Xiuying and Wang Sanbao arrived together.
They ultimately couldn’t sit still, wanting to check on Zhuangzhuang’s condition, to keep searching for solutions. They really couldn’t just watch him slip away, after all, he was a child they had helped deliver and frequently cared for!
"Qingxue is inside," Lu Jiang stood up. "She’s trying to find a way. Sister-in-law and big sister, please don’t go in and disturb her, okay?"
After hearing this, Guo Xiuying and Wang Sanbao immediately halted their steps, letting out deep sighs.
Feng Qingxue heard everything clearly from inside. She lowered her head to look at her infant son in the swaddle, his weak breathing audible as large tears rolled down, streaming down her cheeks.
