Chapter 437: We Will Meet Again if It’s Destined
The man grasped Luo Qiao’s arm, speaking somewhat incoherently, "Save my wife, don’t let anything happen to her. I don’t know if there’s another doctor, my wife, I’m going to look for a doctor right away."
With the help of the conductor, the other two passengers in the compartment were given different berths. After taking her pulse, Luo Qiao found it to be normal. The comrade from earlier must have been scared.
Soon a broadcast was heard on the train, but after waiting a long time, no doctor came. Luo Qiao had another conductor bring scissors and alcohol, and had him fetch a basin of hot water. Then she used the bedsheet from the opposite bunk to draw a curtain.
In the end, it was a woman from the neighboring compartment who took the initiative to help. At this dead of night, with no hospital near the small station where they had stopped, everyone was tense for over three hours. Finally, the cry of a newborn broke the silence, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After the woman finished cleaning and wrapping the newborn simply, and they had cleaned up, people were let in.
The man rushed to thank Luo Qiao and the woman profusely. He looked at his wife who had fallen into an exhausted sleep, and then at his son, wrapped up and placed on the opposite bunk, and he said, "Fangfang, I’m sorry, you’ve suffered so much because of me."
As he spoke, the veins on his hand stood out as if he had received a great shock. Luo Qiao gave some quick instructions before she prepared to go back to rest.
Only then did the man stand up and say, "My name is Lu Ningzhou, this is my wife Wu Xiaofang. Thank you so much for today. Could you leave me an address?"
