Liu Tian said, "Things are looking bad. She's lost almost all her amniotic fluid, and the baby is still breech."
"Then what do you propose we do?" At a time like this, Li Cuicui had surprisingly calmed down.
"We might not be able to wait for the doctor. I need a straight answer from you. If we can only save one—the mother or the child—who do you choose?" Liu Tian asked through clenched teeth.
"Save the mother. We can have another child later," Li Cuicui blurted out without a second thought.
"You damn hag! Who said you could decide that? Of course we save the child—the Gu family's first great-grandson!" Gu Dashishi, who had been pressing his ear to the wall, bellowed from outside.
Li Cuicui's expression darkened instantly. She shouted to Granny Song, who was standing nearby, "Go stand guard outside. Don't let anyone who has no business here get close."
"Just listen to me," she repeated to Liu Tian. "Save the mother."
