Chapter 218 - 220: Is This What Childbirth Looks Like For Women? _1

"It’s all the same, there’s a local pregnant woman about to give birth now, and we can’t find a doctor. We’re short of staff, and nurses too. Grab your medical kit and come with us, we can’t fix this situation quickly. If you stay here, it’s a waste of time, it doesn’t mean anything."

Chenxing’s eyes widened in shock: "What? Deliver a baby? I can’t, I’ve never learned how to."

But the other side was very rushed and had no time for her refusal. It was not easy to find a nurse, so, gritting her teeth, Chenxing picked up her medical kit. She exchanged a few words with the Americans, instructing them to go directly to the American peacekeeping camp after they reached the campsite, where a medical team was stationed. Then, she was hurriedly ushered into a vehicle.

On the way, torrential river water flooded the road, and several civilian houses on both sides of the road, situated on lower slopes, were submerged in the water. The walls, built from wooden sticks and yellow mud, were soaked halfway up, and were at risk of collapse at any moment.

Peacekeepers from all countries were working together, and it was extremely hard work.

Chenxing got on a rubber boat with others. She looked at the peacekeepers wading through the murky river water again and again, moving back and forth between civilian houses and the shore. They transferred the civilians’ belongings, one after another, to a safe zone, their clothes soaked by the river water, unheeded. She sat in the middle of the rubber ring, not daring to get close to the murky surface of the river, deeply moved. How did she persevere in learning to swim back then?

She suddenly thought of a man teaching her to hold her breath underwater, and her own experience scuba diving in Thousand Island Lake. Before she had time to reflect, the rubber boat had reached the other shore. With the assistance of her Serbian peacekeeping "brothers", she got off the boat. Before she even had time for any feelings or emotions to surge, she was hurriedly led to a civilian house on higher ground.

Now, many disaster victims were gathered in the house. The pregnant woman who was about to give birth was completely soaked and her waters had broken. She was having a difficult labor. Several of the survivors who had given birth before were coaching her to breathe and push......

Chenxing just stood there stupidly, having no idea what to do.

She swore she had only seen a woman give birth once in her life, and that was four months ago. She and a doctor had gone to a village, where a woman was writhing in agony during labor. She had assisted the accompanying doctor in the delivery. She had nearly fainted at the sight of blood pouring out from the woman as if it was free, and it had taken her a long time to recover.

What about now? What should she do?

She saw hope in the eyes of several people, simply because she was wearing a nurse’s outfit, they had taken her as their savior.

What a tragedy. She really had no idea how she, a young unmarried girl, was supposed to help a woman to give birth during a difficult labor.

All she had in her medical box were some simple anti-inflammatory drugs, gauze, and penicillin... Anyway, she absolutely did not have the ability to assist a pregnant woman in childbirth.

A thin, dark-skinned little girl grabbed her hand, "Please save my mother and my unborn brother or sister, please."

Chenxing’s mind reeled: "I...I’ll try. Let me try."

How should she try?

She was like an ant on a hot pan, even more panicked than the pregnant woman. She could only offer psychological counselling, continuously comfort the woman and, like the other married women, encourage her to push.

Was this the process of childbirth for women?

Walking on the line between life and death...

Did her mother go through such pain to bring her into this world?

Thinking of her mother, who was in a mental hospital behaving like a lunatic, she suddenly felt an intense pang of pain.
