Doctor Chen looked at Saner with a complex expression and asked, "Is that what your husband told you?"
"Yes? Isn't it?" Saner looked at Doctor Chen with a puzzled expression. Seeing the seriousness on Doctor Chen's face, her heart sank, and she nervously asked, "Is something wrong with my child?"
Saner had just undergone surgery, and Doctor Chen was afraid that her emotions would affect the wound, so he shook his head and changed the subject, saying, "No, don't worry. By the way, where are your parents?"
Upon hearing that there was nothing wrong, Saner felt relieved and said, "My parents are not here. Is there something I should know?"
"Not really, I just wanted to give them some instructions. Can you give me a phone number to reach them? That way, I can communicate with them if anything happens," Doctor Chen said.
"In that case, I'll give you my husband's phone number. If anything happens, you can contact him," Saner said.
Doctor Chen looked helplessly at Saner and deliberately asked, "What's your husband's name?"
"His name is Lu Feng," Saner replied.
"Then ask him to bring the marriage certificate home."
It wasn't necessary to show a marriage certificate when giving birth in the hospital, but Doctor Chen deliberately said so to elicit a response from Saner.
"Do we need a marriage certificate to have a baby?"
This was Saner's first time having a child, and she didn't know.
"Well, let's register."
Nervously, Saner asked, "Can't we do without a marriage certificate?"
Doctor Chen asked curiously, "Don't you have one?"
"Um..." Saner said somewhat embarrassedly, "We haven't registered yet."
"Oh, I see," Doctor Chen nodded, pretending to think for a moment, and said, "If you don't have a marriage certificate, then we need to register your parents' information because you haven't registered with your husband. Without being legally married, he won't be your guardian."
"Is that so?"
"Yes," Doctor Chen replied.
When Saner was pregnant, she brought Lu Feng home to meet her parents. Saner's family wasn't well-off, and she had a younger brother. Her parents favored boys and thought they could receive a dowry to buy a house for her brother, so they asked for a dowry of 500,000 yuan.
Lu Feng didn't say anything and readily agreed. He transferred the dowry money to Saner's parents on the spot. Saner's parents received the money and naturally agreed to the marriage. They didn't know that Lu Feng was already married and thought their daughter had found a wealthy boss, so they were very happy.
As for why Saner and Lu Feng hadn't held a wedding ceremony yet, Lu Feng said they wanted to wait until the child was born. Saner's parents didn't think much of it. In any case, they received the dowry, so they didn't mind when they got married.
Thinking that she had given birth prematurely, Saner felt that she should tell her parents, so she gave Doctor Chen her father's phone number.
After getting the phone number of Saner's family, Doctor Chen gave a few more instructions and left the ward.
After Doctor Chen left, Saner was alone in the ward. She waited for a long time but didn't see Lu Feng coming back. It was at this moment that she realized that since she woke up, she hadn't seen the old lady come to see her.
Supposedly, she gave birth to a boy for the Lu family, so the old lady should be happy. But why hasn't she come to see her?
Could it be that the old lady is with the child?
The thought of the child made San'er's heart tighten. She gave birth prematurely, only six months into her pregnancy. The child was born days ahead of time, and she didn't know how the child's health was. Was the child doing well?
The more she thought about it, the more worried San'er became. It had been so long, and there was still no sign of Lu Feng returning. San'er was getting desperate.
