Chapter 1076: Chapter 1058: Tricked by My Own Father Chapter 1076: Chapter 1058: Tricked by My Own Father The child wasn’t big, so the birth was relatively smooth, and her health had been excellently nourished by Tang Yuxin over those days, full of vitality.
Thus, although the child’s arrival had its share of hurdles, the delivery was unexpectedly easy, completed in under half an hour.
Liu Juan also heard the baby crying out robustly, indicating a healthy newborn, and the doctor assured her, saying that despite the premature birth, the baby was in good health and would be fine.
“Tired?”
Gu Ning placed his hand on Tang Yuxin’s forehead and noticed she had become quiet and appeared listless.
“Yeah,” Tang Yuxin just wanted to lie down somewhere, not interested in going anywhere else.
“Let’s grab something to eat first, then leave this place.”
The hospital had food, and given the special circumstances, meals were provided for free.
They had been there for nearly ten days.
The search and rescue operations outside were wrapping up, and vast quantities of food and clothing had been delivered, so supplies were plentiful, and the atmosphere had calmed significantly.
The hospital ran a tight ship, bustling with activity.
Search and rescue were nearly complete, with few patients still being brought in, but the hospital was where the real bustle was.
It was treating far more patients than it was equipped for.
Medical personnel hadn’t had a proper rest in days and were still in short supply.

It was difficult to find a patient without injuries, let alone those with more severe traumas such as missing limbs—they were countless.
The critical patients were numerous; the daily surgical workload on the doctors was terrifyingly high, and they worked around the clock.
Several doctors had become ill from exhaustion.
Even with additional medical staff from other provinces, there was still a shortage.
The main issue was the lack of standout doctors.
While many top doctors were in Beijing, especially at the main hospital with several leading physicians, they were not available to come here.
From time to time, cries for help echoed through the hospital halls, desperate calls for doctors, for nurses, and the sound of nurses’ footsteps running about erratically.
With an overwhelming number of patients, the majority of what could be seen or heard in the hospital were cries and calls for help.
Tang Yuxin, having only been there for a short while, already felt a severe headache coming on.
Phone.
Gu Ning took out his cell phone and handed it to Tang Yuxin.
It was a call from Tang Zhinian.
She remembered that upon their arrival, they’d made a specific call to their dad, informing him that a helicopter was coming to pick them up, and by his calculation, they should have already arrived.
“Dad…”
Tang Yuxin, listening to Tang Zhinian’s voice on the other end of the line, felt an uncommon warmth.
“Yuxin, where are you now?
Are you ready to come back?”
Tang Zhinian, while talking to his daughter on the phone, had instructed the housekeeper to thoroughly clean Tang Yuxin’s room and make sure meals were ready.
Transport between Yun City and Beijing was nearly back to normal.
With a five-hour journey, his family should be home soon, so it was crucial to have meals prepared for their return.
“We’re still at the hospital,” Tang Yuxin, holding the phone in one hand, began eating what Gu Ning had given her.
She wasn’t picky; all she wanted was to fill her stomach.
“What are you doing at the hospital?”
Tang Zhinian jumped to his feet in alarm, “Did something happen to you?
Are you hurt?
Is Gu Ning okay?
Are you okay?”
Tang Yuxin, startled by her father’s panic, choked on the food she had barely started chewing and swallowed it down with difficulty.
She coughed repeatedly while patting her chest.
Gu Ning quickly passed her a bottle of water, and she grasped it, gulping down the contents as Tang Zhinian’s voice continued to cry out for his daughter on the phone.
The wailing sounded as if her daughter was about to die.
“Dad…”
Gu Ning took the phone from Tang Yuxin’s hand, patting her back with one hand while soothing the nearly frantic Tang Zhinian on the other end.
“Gu Ning, my daughter, my Yuxin, what’s happened to her?
Ɲ0νǤ0.сο
Is she about to die?”
Tang Yuxin gulped down another drink, her face the very picture of despair as she nearly choked to death.
“Dad, don’t worry,” Gu Ning patted Tang Yuxin’s back again, “Yuxin is fine, she just choked on her food.
We came to the hospital to drop off a pregnant woman, and we’re about to head back.”
“That’s a relief.”
Tang Zhinian finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, and started sipping tea that was placed to one side.
He was genuinely almost scared to death.
And he never expected that he was about to scare someone else to death.
Tang Yuxin patted her chest again.
“How are you feeling now?” Gu Ning poured her another cup of hot water.
Tang Yuxin’s face was red from being choked, she quickly wrapped her hands around the cup, drinking several cups in a row until she felt alive again.
Feeling better, Tang Yuxin let out a sigh.
Her father’s sudden outcry could really scare someone to death.
“I’ve already contacted them,” Gu Ning stretched out his arm for Tang Yuxin to hold on to, “our flight is roughly scheduled for eight o’clock tomorrow morning, to take us back to Beijing.”
Tang Yuxin pulled Gu Ning’s hand and looked at the watch on his wrist.
It was just after one o’clock, still plenty of time.
“Shall we go to the airport and wait?” Tang Yuxin felt that waiting at the airport would be better.
What if they missed the flight?
What if there was a long queue?
“It’s not far away, and the roads are clear, walking there is just fine.
They don’t have food at the airport, we’re better off staying here.
We can head over an hour in advance.”
“Okay,” Tang Yuxin also felt that staying was the better option.
Though noisy, here they had hot water, food, and still five hours to go, which was definitely enough.
“I need to sleep for a bit,” Tang Yuxin yawned, weary and longing for rest, but there was truly no place for her to sleep here.
Not to mention a bed, she didn’t even dare to take up a chair for long.
With so many patients around and no place for them to sit, how could they possibly have the heart to occupy a spot just to sleep?
Let’s find somewhere to sit.
Gu Ning took Tang Yuxin’s hand and began to look around for a place to sit.
Fortunately, a spot in the corner had just cleared up, vacant and somewhat away from the crowd.
