Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1154: Your Son Is Alive (1)

"Mrs. Xiao, as I explained to you before, we might need to proceed with Plan B now."

Plan A is the optimal birthing process, where the pregnancy is full term and the baby is naturally delivered.

If any unforeseen events occur, Plans B or C would need to be executed. Just in case, before her husband woke up, Gu Nuan reached an agreement with the attending doctor that if she encountered any sudden complications, the doctor was allowed to perform any plan other than A for emergency rescue.

This included facing a choice between her life or the baby’s life, all dependent on the doctor’s assessment of the situation.

Now that she was still conscious, Tang Sili definitely needed to explain it again to prepare her mentally.

"Since Mr. Xiao is awake, I definitely need to inform him." Tang Sili reassured her that her husband was aware of everything.

Gu Nuan nodded, not seeing her husband come in, he was certainly hurrying to explain first to her family and the Xiao family. Considering the series of events that happened over the past few days, it might not have scared the couple, but it definitely frightened both families.

Mrs. Xiao’s blood pressure remained high and couldn’t drop. Given Xiao Jianming’s heart condition from a previous injury, any further stress was inadvisable, so everyone decided not to inform him about anything happening here for now.

In short, the attending doctor believed that continuing to protect the fetus was no longer beneficial, and the unborn child was sufficiently developed for a C-section. The issue of premature birth—being a month early—wasn’t deemed a significant problem.

Plan B was already considered a relatively favorable option, just slightly worse than Plan A. If they tried too hard to protect the fetus, leading to unexpected bleeding or the use of too many coagulants causing adverse embolism effects in the mother, then they’d inevitably have to execute a worse Plan C.

After Xiao Yebai explained everything to Gu’s parents, Mrs. Xiao, and Xiao Shuju, some showed understanding while others couldn’t fully accept it.

For instance, Mrs. Xiao continuously complained that her grandson and granddaughter-in-law didn’t heed her advice to move away from this ominous house. Now, it’s going to be a C-section, and her grandson wasn’t aware that back then, Ruan Ruzhen died from a C-section while giving birth to her son.

Gu’s mother felt alright since she herself had a C-section for her second child and didn’t find it too problematic. With medical advancements today, countless women undergo C-sections daily. Besides, she had mentally prepared herself that if the child couldn’t be delivered naturally, her daughter would certainly undergo a C-section.

If not a C-section, should her daughter be left unable to deliver and face death?

Mrs. Xiao kept persisting, insisting on having additional doctors consult before deciding, but not only did Xiao Yebai refuse, Gu’s parents also opposed.

Calling in additional doctors for consultation would appear disrespectful to the current treating physician. Disbelief in the doctor would likely diminish the effort the doctor might put into saving the pregnant woman.

Moreover, Tang Sili’s skills were unquestionable; bringing in other doctors would be time-consuming and exhausting—would it have any meaning?

Seeing no one listened to her, Mrs. Xiao indignantly said, "Fine, I’ll pay for it then. I’ll pay to bring in a doctor to save my great-grandson!" Gu’s mother immediately retorted, "This isn’t about money—it’s about my daughter and grandchild not having the time to wait for the doctor you’d hire with money."

Mrs. Xiao turned away angrily, "How is there no time? Isn’t he supposed to be so capable? Can’t he even afford to wait a bit? And yet he dares claim he’s so skilled?"
