"I've been a nurse, but I've never delivered a baby."

"It's okay, you just need to follow my instructions." The doctor on board handed Mary a pair of silver scissors, "Go and sterilize this, and get some clean towels and boiled water."

The woman was sweating profusely from the pain, she was breathing heavily, and a series of painful groans came out of her throat.

"Relax, your baby is coming out soon." The doctor on board took some gauze and put it on the table, and then told Mary, "I will mop the baby out later, and you can cut the umbilical cord with scissors. Are you there?"

"I can do it, doctor." Mary nodded affirmatively, wiping the sweat off the mother's head.

When she saw the little baby, Mary finally understood why newborn babies were called "babes" because they were all red and sticky.

Mrs. Bennet was not very old when she had Catherine and Lydia, so she did not see the sisters until they had been cleaned.Until this evening, she had no idea that the newborn baby looked like this.

"It's a healthy girl." Mary wrapped the baby in a soft blanket and carried it to the young couple.

"This child will be blessed by God."

The doctor on board ordered a few more precautions for babies and mothers, and then looked at Mary, "I haven't had time to ask, what's your name? I've never seen a young lady as brave as you."

"Mary Bennet." Mary was a little embarrassed to be praised. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, covered the new mother with a quilt, and followed the doctor out. "And you? What's your name?"

"I'm Randy Wilson."

"Wilson? That doesn't sound like an English surname." Mary was a little surprised because Dr. Wilson's pronunciation was very pure.

"I'm an American," Dr. Wilson explained, "but I've been living in London. Don't you think my pronunciation is so British that I don't sound like a Yankee at all?"

Being seen through, Mary was a little embarrassed, so she quickly changed the subject, "Have you always practiced medicine on ships?"

"No, it's not." Dr. Wilson shook his head. "The original ship's doctor is on leave. I'm just here to help the captain temporarily. He's an old friend of mine. In fact, I'm a military doctor."

"Military doctor?" Mary was even more surprised. Her eyes widened slightly, and the moon was reflected in them, shining with some fragments of light.

"Do military doctors also help women deliver babies?" Mary couldn't help asking. In her eyes, military doctors should hold tweezers to help soldiers take bullets all day long, with rough skin and calloused hands.

But Wilson was different. Dr. Wilson's face was smooth and smooth, like a woman's, but not so effeminate.He is very young, probably less than 30 years old, but he has a calm demeanor and a gentleman's demeanor in his gestures.It's hard to imagine him as a military doctor, but Mary thinks he's more like a poet or a musician.

"I was studying at a medical university in Germany, where everything was taught. We not only had to learn how to deliver babies, but also how to take care of the elderly." Wilson unbuttoned two tight shirt buttons to get some air, but quickly put them on again, because He remembered that there was a young woman beside him.

"What about you? Where did you study?"

"I study at home." Mary suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She had no systematic education, let alone a college education. Her knowledge came from her family, self-study, and Ms. Gray.For the first time in her life, Mary felt inferior, but in order to maintain a little dignity, she bit the bullet and made an excuse for herself.

"I'm not old enough to go to college."

It was only then that Wilson noticed that although Mary was not short, she still had a little youthful look on her face, and she looked no older than 17 years old.

"If you go to university, you will definitely get a lot of achievements." Wilson is very serious. "There are many good medical universities in the UK. You can try them in the future."

Mary didn't speak. Of course she wanted to go to college, but the teachers in college almost never accepted female students, especially in medicine.Besides, even if a school is willing to take her, Mrs. Bennet will never allow her to mix with a bunch of men and dead animals every day.

"I'm a woman." Mary sighed. "Those schools certainly wouldn't want me."

"I don't think there is any difference between women and men." Wilson stopped and said seriously.

"If I had to find a difference, then I think they are greater than men, because they not only give birth to life, but also love peace more than men. Men always like war, they bring death, and women bring hope. "

Mary froze. She had never heard such an argument.In the education she has received, women must be attached to men, even though she never approves of this concept.She never thought that she could hear the words "women are greater than men" from a man.

"Women bring hope." Mary unconsciously repeated Wilson's words.

"If you want to go to university in the future, I will do my best to help you." Wilson looked at the distant scenery, a sun was rising from below the sea level, the sea was sparkling, and a silver-white cod jumped out is the surface of the water.

He continued: "I serve in the [-]th Royal Navy, you can write there."

"If I can go to college, I will definitely write to you." Mary laughed, and the sea breeze blew the broken hair on her forehead.

Because it is winter, there are not many seabirds in the Farne Islands, and most of them are lazy, and they are not interested in the bread in the hands of tourists. Probably because there are too many people feeding these days, they are not lacking at all. food.

Mary found that Dr. Wilson was not only skilled in medicine, but also humorous and knowledgeable.With him, you will never be bored.Many young girls were willing to talk to him, and some even pretended to have a cold so that he could come and visit them.

On this day, when Wilson was introducing the history of the Farne Islands to Mary, a maid in a gray skirt ran over. She first curtseyed to them, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Doctor Wilson, Angie Miss, she felt a headache this morning, and the medicine didn't help, please go and see her."

"You go back first, I'll get the medicine box, and I'll be there right away." Wilson said, winking at Mary when the maid wasn't paying attention, and whispered to her, "This is Miss Angie's first time since landing on the island. Three times sick."

Mary couldn't help it, and smiled slightly. They all knew that Miss Angie was fine.An hour earlier, she had been threateningly giving a lesson to a waiter with her arms akimbo in the restaurant.

"I think he must be fascinated by you. No matter how sick Miss Angie is, she can't compare to a real Mary Bennet." Elizabeth suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Don't talk nonsense, Izzy, we're just friends." Mary patted the back of Elizabeth's hand lightly, and gave her a reproachful look.

"Well, you are just friends." Elizabeth smiled, disbelief written all over her face.

"Every day we have to disembark and go home. If you don't make mom happy, be careful to find Mrs. Gray after she goes home." Elizabeth reminded.

Since Mary helped Wilson deliver the woman, Mrs. Bennet has been very unhappy, and she can't stand her daughter's repeated disobedience.

How could a lady, an unmarried lady, deliver a baby?

"I really can't help it, Izzy." Mary blushed, all the good mood just now was gone, "I have tried everything I can think of, but my mother just won't forgive me unless I promise her never to do it again How is that possible with regards to nursing care?"

Elizabeth sighed and stroked the top of Mary's hair, but she couldn't help it.As long as it is something that mother believes, no one can change it.

"I heard from my mother last night that she is sending you to Lowood Ladies' College."

"What?" cried Mary, startling the seabirds that had landed on the reef. "That old crow's school? I'll never go, or I'll run away from home and swim out of here to London now." go to college."

Of course Mary couldn't swim to London, she couldn't run away from home, and she still had a lot of shit going on.For example, finding Heathcliff to settle accounts, or figuring out what constitutes a sacrifice to the "intruder".

Emily did leave her house, but will the matter end with her departure?Mary doesn't know.And the Black Death, if the Black Death still broke out like in the previous life, would their family survive?

These questions kept going round and round in her head, and Mary felt like she was starting to have a headache too.

Before disembarking, the new parents approached Mary and said they would use "Mary" as their child's middle name.

This is probably the happiest thing for Mary this Christmas.On the first day home, Mary rushed to Netherfield Manor aggressively to settle accounts with Heathcliff.But halfway through, she remembered that Heathcliff had already moved away.He is now living at Bell Manor - he bought it a month ago.

So she continued to rush to Bell Manor aggressively, but she still couldn't find anyone.Finally, the kind cook told her that Heathcliff was in the stable.

By the time Mary arrived at the stable, half of her aura had been lost. She only felt parched and wanted to drink a few glasses of lemonade.

But when Heathcliff came out of the stable with a long slender whip, she regained her spirits.

"You're a big liar! You've been lying to us."

"They're right. You should be dragged behind the wagon."

"You are a scum, devil, Satan, Lucifer!"
