Chapter 5: Possessing a Pair of Holy Hands for Delivering Babies

Xu Wei praised her with a laugh, but her acting was not up to par; the smile was somewhat awkward and forced.

In her past life at the age of 20, Lin Zhi was still rather naive and couldn't see through Xu Wei's machinations.

Having weathered many storms, the now mature Lin Zhi could naturally see through her intentions at a glance.

"Yes, it's good that you found me. I didn't expect my luck to be so good. I almost had an incident, but thankfully everything is fine. However, what about you? The condition of the mother was so poor at the time, why didn't you directly call for a doctor? I'm just an intern nurse. What if something had happened when you asked me to help?" Lin Zhi stared into her eyes and countered, even with a bit of reproach.

"Let's not even talk about what would happen to me if there had been an incident—I would have been punished. But if the mother and the baby's lives were lost, that would be sinning and could bring retribution!"

The mention of retribution made Xu Wei's face turn even paler.

With an uncomfortable smile, she said, "At that time, I didn't think so much. Besides, I didn't know the situation was so bad…"

Hah, she didn't know?

She was the one on duty that night; she was the one taking care of that mother.

The mother was already bleeding heavily at the time; how could she not know the situation was bad?!

To oust her, she actually gambled with the lives of a pregnant woman and her baby, which was simply… heartless!

Thinking of this, Lin Zhi's face grew cold, and she said indifferently, "Next time, you should be more careful. After all, these are human lives; it's no joking matter."

Having said that, Lin Zhi walked away, not wanting to waste any more words on her.

Xu Wei's face flushed with anger and humiliation.

What did Lin Zhi mean by that?!

Did she realize it was intentional?! And what right did she have to lecture her, as if she wasn't any worse than her!

Instead of making Xu Wei regretful and reflective, the incident only made her resent Lin Zhi even more.

Of course, from then on, Lin Zhi would be utterly wary of her.

...

Lin Zhi didn't have the time or the inclination to deal with Xu Wei; she was troubled about how to help that little baby girl avoid being given away by her birth parents.

Actually, Lin Zhi harbored a selfish thought.

If the baby girl's parents truly favored boys over girls, she wouldn't fare well in such a family anyway. It might be better for her to be in a different family.

But since she had already promised her, she could only help to ensure the baby girl wouldn't be given away.

Because the mother had had a significant hemorrhage and was in poor health, she needed to stay in the hospital for treatment for a week before she could leave.

Lin Zhi had a week to prepare.

These past few days, to prove her abilities, Lin Zhi actively assisted with various childbirths.

Indeed, she had acquired a pair of "Holy Hands" in delivering babies; she could communicate with the babies in the mothers' wombs to help them be born smoothly.

Even more, just by placing her hands on a mother's belly and giving a few massages, she could help them give birth easily without any tearing or pain.

However, to avoid drawing attention, Lin Zhi was always careful not to use her abilities right away.

She would almost always wait until the mother was in enough pain before stepping in to help them deliver quickly.

Lin Zhi's recent diligence and extraordinary skill in midwifery earned her a lot of praise. Dr. Wang, who was mentoring her, even said privately that once her internship was over, he would strongly recommend that she stay at the Hospital.

So, as long as there were no accidents, the one to stay and work at the Hospital would be Lin Zhi.

Even if this was not widely known, everyone was already well aware that the position was hers.
