Chapter 791: A miracle happens
Han Yunxi’s words stunned both the husband and the hearts of every man there. Cloud Realm Continent might be advanced for its times, but it was still a patriarchal society. In everyone’s minds, the man had full rights to decide while the women were only supposed to follow along with his choices. The women present were caught between shock and admiration, but still others were left confused and unable to understand.
A female doctor suddenly laughed out loud. “Han Yunxi, are you pretending to be stupid, or an actual idiot? Ask any of the mothers here! What would they pick? If this goes on, you won’t be able to shoulder the consequences!”
What kind of mother would sacrifice her child to save herself?
“Of course, she’ll choose to preserve the children! Do you even need to ask?”
“Exactly, this is just wasting time! Suppose we miss the chance to even do that? You’ll all be committing sins!”
“Han Yunxi, you guys can’t be so selfish!”
There was a flurry of commentary from the crowd, but Han Yunxi simply leaned against the door in silence. She looked coldly upon the female doctor who had instigated the crowd and said in a clear voice, “Stop misleading the public, you. This wangfei is simply letting the mother choose whether she wants to believe in Gu Beiyue or you guys. I have no right to let her pick whether to save herself or her children.”
If there was a choice, would any mother bear to lose their baby?
The female doctor was rendered speechless. She shot looks towards the department heads while the husband began to stutter and curse Han Yunxi. “I, I--I’m her husband. I...you have no right to meddle in which doctor I trust! Y-you--just who do you think you are, huh? Don’t think you’re all that!”
After that, the medical assistant rushed out, earning the attentions of everyone there, including the husband. He gasped for breath as he inhaled and proclaimed, “The mother says she trusts Doctor Gu, she trusts Doctor Gu! None of the other doctors need to come in…”
At this, Han Yunxi shot the husband a venomous glare until all of his wrath withered up. Then the medical assistant added, “Clan Head Ren, Doctor Gu asks that you hurry and let the Ren Clan’s fourth young Miss go in. He’ll need her help with the births.”
There were plenty of top-tier female doctors in the crowd, but Gu Beiyue wanted the Ren Clan’s fourth young Miss? While the crowd mused over that, even Clan Head Ren himself was surprised. The fourth young Miss was his daughter by his first wife and had been in the medical academy since her childhood years. She only began specializing in obstetrics a few years ago, so her experience was far below those of the female doctors here!
“What’s her background?” Han Yunxi asked Gu Qishao.
“Clan Head Ren’s favorite daughter, he dotes on her. I don’t know about her medical skills, though. Heheh, Gu Beiyue’s certainly picked an interesting person,” Gu Qishao chuckled.
Fourth Young Miss Ren’s participation would greatly affect the decisions of the judging panel. Although Gu Beiyue’s choice to ask her for help was filled with veiled complaints, no one dared to voice them in front of Clan Head Ren. He didn’t have a good opinion of Gu Beiyue either, nor did he want to involved his daughter in this mess. Just as he was about to refuse, Fourth Young Miss Ren herself spoke up from the crowd.
“I’m here! I’m here! It’s an emergency, so it’ll be dangerous if she doesn’t birth the babies!” She pushed her way through the crowd and prepared to go inside.
