beauty and money

As expected, after the amniotic fluid broke, the birth canal slowly opened until midnight. Mary had never seen so much blood and horror. She felt that it was a good thing that she would not be able to get married and have children in the future. She made a lot of preparations, But she was still trembling with fear, and Doctor Strange was directing her outside.

She slowly stretched out her greased arms and touched her head clearly. Mary was already thinner and taller than ordinary people. Her hands penetrated through the grease, and the blood scared her, but she still stabilized. , the maids were more afraid than Mary, only one of them dared to cooperate with Mary to push the child above.

Gently and slowly, Mary pushed the baby to the opening of the birth canal. She withdrew her hand and obeyed the order to push from above, pushing softly over and over again. It seemed that Kitty in a coma had a bit of instinct as a mother. She unconsciously After exerting force, the child's head finally came out, and then the whole body was produced along with amniotic fluid and blood.

It was a little boy, purple-skinned, ugly as a frog, and the servants turned pale after a while, and he didn't cry!The maid lifted him upside down and patted his little butt vigorously, but he still didn't respond.Some maids cried on the spot, and the little master was already dead.

No, that's impossible, Mary touched him just now, he was warm, and he moved.She snatched the child and listened to the beating of his heart. It was weak but beating. She put the child in her arms and rubbed his limbs over and over again. It must have been too long, his blood circulation is not good, no , he will be fine, she massaged his chest, felt the beating of the little heart, made him lie on his stomach and pat his back, just when the maid wanted to stop the young lady from being stupid, the little baby moved and gave a weak moan Humming, not even crying.He's very weak, but he's alive!

But Kitty was not well, she began to convulse, and the blood kept flowing.The servant screamed, blood was all over the bed, Mary was scared out of her wits, no, please don't do this.Doctor Strange had been prepared for the symptoms of bleeding, and asked the maid to cover Kitty, prepared a styptic needle and walked in, but Kitty twitched violently.

"No, hold her down, or the needle will break." He didn't dare to hit it at all, and Kitty was not only bleeding and convulsing, it was terrible.The maids couldn't hold her down at all, and he couldn't give the needle.At this moment, Mary rushed forward, and her whole body was on Kitty's body, holding Kitty's arms tightly with both hands.She was an emaciated young lady, but she showed surprising strength, pinned down Kitty and shouted: "Hurry up, give her an injection."

Dr. Strange looked at the arm that moved slightly due to convulsions, and gritted his teeth. If it was another doctor, he would definitely not dare.And he quickly found the blood vessel and stuck it in, pushed the medicine quickly, the hemostatic medicine with sedative effect took effect soon, and Kitty stopped bleeding and calmed down.

After the violent reaction just now, Mary's whole body is weak now, and she can't even stand up.She insisted on letting the maid clean up Kitty, and she asked Dr. Strange to rest outside, while she sat trembling on the chair with the child in her arms. She had never made such a risky decision, nor did she Such an outrageous thing.

It wasn't until dawn that she seemed to be in a dream, and unspeakable sleepiness and pain hit her, but she was still tightly stretched by a string, and she didn't dare to relax at all, just like a wooden figure.There were colorful spots in front of her eyes. After the maid Grynn persuaded her for a long time and vowed to take good care of Kitty and the baby, she changed the bloody clothes and washed her hands. She leaned on the armchair and took a light sleep, feeling as tired as she was. Everyone in the town was also resting, and all Longbourn was as silent as the night.

After dawn, Mr. Bennet woke up from the coma. The first thing he did was to ask the doctor who healed him to go back with him. He felt very frightened. It had been a night. He didn’t know what was going on at home, but Possibly very badly, but when he rode to Longbourne with the doctor accompanying him, he found that the whole estate was extremely quiet, and there was no sound of servants coming out to clean and move.An ominous premonition rose in his heart, and Mr. Bennet immediately jumped off his horse, went to the door and opened the door with a key.

The sound of the key alarmed the concierge. He came out and saw that it was the master, with a look of great joy on his face. The master had come back. They were really scared last night. Seeing the master's return, they had a backbone in their hearts, but then he called a Yawn, really sleepy and dizzy.

"What happened? Why is no one working in the yard?" Mr. Bennet asked anxiously.

"Oh, everything is safe, sir. Mrs. Menati gave birth last night. It is a boy. The mother and child are safe. Everyone is resting from exhaustion. Do you need me to wake them up?" the porter replied.

"No, no, let them rest, it's really great, I'll go see the baby." Mr. Bennet's worries finally put down, he and the doctor entered the room where the baby was, and the baby was taken care of by Grian He was half asleep and half awake, and seemed a little tired.

Mr. Bennet slowed down and signaled Grian to be silent, then he walked gently to the cradle and picked up the half-awake child. The child was ugly with wrinkled skin. It was a very strange feeling.Since the rest of the grandchildren were not born in Longbourne, this was the first time Mr. Bennet hugged the grandchildren. Usually, even when the grandchildren came, he would not take the initiative to hug them. He thought in his heart that unless Li Qi's children, otherwise he would not have hugged them.But when he picked up the little baby, there was this wonderful feeling, the same feeling he felt when he was young when he was expecting an heir, and it was the same feeling when he held his first child, a little boy, A little boy with the blood of Bennet, that kind of pride and joy cannot be replaced by any child, even Mr. Bennet, who has five daughters, thinks so.

The little baby whimpered, he was about to cry or not, he looked very weak, Mr. Bennet was startled, he quickly put the baby down, let the doctor who came with him examine him, after the doctor checked Mr Bennet and called him outside , He said with a slightly regretful expression: "This child is not very strong physically. Due to premature birth, he is very weak and his lungs are not well developed. He needs careful care and is easy to die."

Mr. Bennet felt very uncomfortable when he heard that, in this day and age, all weak babies should not get more love, because they will die at any time, so giving more love will make people lose them more Sadness, based on such a reason, the poor will directly throw away such a child, and the nobles, they will keep a distance, so as not to make themselves too sad to face.

But Mr. Bennet asked about Grian Kitty's condition again, and Grian truthfully described the thrill of last night.Kitty was treated in a timely manner, and although very weak, there was nothing wrong with it.Mr. Bennet was a little outraged when he learned that Mary had made her own way.But the doctor's words dispelled his anger, because in this case, if a decision is not made in time, both adults and children may be in danger.

"This is very necessary, Mr. Bennet. As a doctor, I also think that pregnant women can't wait any longer. She is very dangerous. Even if it were me, I would terminate the pregnancy earlier, which is safer. I can only say that this little The fellow is very unfortunate, but the lady cannot be put in danger."

"It's not obvious, is it? Is it possible that other doctors didn't notice it?" Mr. Bennet clenched his fist tightly, and he had some vague guesses.

"Impossible, this is very obvious, as long as a doctor should be aware of these common sense." The doctor said with a smile, he saw that there was no problem here, so he was about to leave.Although it didn't help, Mr. Bennet paid him a doctor's fee.

After the doctor left, he sat in the study filled with righteous indignation, but after a while he calmed down secretly. Kitty's marriage had become a fact, and the child was safe and sound. He shouldn't destroy this peace again, but deep down he deeply He blames himself deeply for his bias in judging people. This son-in-law is admitted by himself. He has a good background and wealth. He also graduated from Oxford law class and holds an important position. Although he is older in age, he has a good reputation in society, but Mr. Bennet did not expect that Lord Menardius, who was eager to have a son, would put his daughter in danger. Intellectually, he understood Lord Menardius' worries about being nearly forty years old and having no heir, but emotionally, how could he? Nor could the son-in-law be forgiven, and Kitty had almost lost his life because of his decision, and no one knew about it.

No matter what psychological struggles Mr. Bennet was sitting on, Menadius' family doctor informed Lord Menadius, who set off immediately, but on the way he didn't know that his baby was a very weak kitten same child.

After a few days of rest and recovery, Longborn returned to its former calm, but there were more laughter and laughter. Although the child was very weak, Kitty was very happy. She hugged her child and felt that this moment was extremely happy. She The mouth is full of Rhett's arrival, I don't know how happy he is, he has an heir.Listening to these words, Mary and Mr. Bennet, who knew the truth of the matter, felt it was very harsh, but they kept silent to ensure Kitty's happiness.

Mr. Bennet also changed a lot towards Mary. It would be great if she were a boy, and she would not care about her appearance and temperament, because her temperament and determination have surpassed most men.He called Mary into the study, knowing that he should have a good talk with his daughter and talk about her future.

"Mary, I always thought you were an unlikable daughter. Of all my daughters, I disliked you the least. However, I want to apologize to you, my daughter. You are very brave and wise." Banner Mr. Te's first words after Mary entered the study surprised Mary.

Mary seemed to have heard something incredible, she looked at Mr. Bennet in surprise, and the latter continued: "Listen, Mary, if you were a boy, I would be my pride, but you have always been my I am just complaining why you are not a boy. You know, I already have two daughters. I thought at the time, you must be a boy. I had too many expectations for your birth, but the final result made me It's hard to accept." Mr. Bennet wiped the corners of his eyes, there seemed to be moisture there, and he could finally confide in his daughter the depression that had always been in his heart, and he didn't even say these words to Mrs. Bennet.

"It's not your fault. I have tried my best to ignore you since I was a child. Whenever I see your cleverness, I feel painful. I complain why you are not a boy. I feel sorry. I always feel that as a lady, your character is really unpleasant. , lacking in appearance, more than smart but not enough in wisdom, I was worried about your future. But from Kitty's incident, I saw your outstanding character, you deserve a better future." Bennett What the husband said made Mary, who had been ignored for many years, burst into tears. Her tears flowed on her face, but she felt relieved in her heart. Her dislike was not due to her doing anything wrong.

"Don't say sorry, father, no, father, I have never tried to get close to you and the sisters, I always feel sorry for myself, thinking that you reject me and look down on me, but I am also rejecting in disguise, a People hide instead of coming out. I'm glad, I'm glad you said that." Mary choked up and said, she always thought her parents didn't love her, but she never wanted to get close to them, she knew she had How unreasonable she is at times, but she doesn't know how to change herself, she can always make everything bad.

"Mary, this is for you. I have made this decision after a few days of consideration. You should get more things. Those things that I can't give you, but you have already inherited from me." Mr. Bennet gave A letter to Mary.He went on to say: "I have a friend who is a professor at Oxford. I have won an audit from him, but Oxford is very traditional. They don't allow girls to study. He promised me to hide it for you. This letter You bring him, he will help you, my child, you have an infinite future, it is the nineteenth century, you should have something different from other women, that Corinth cannot take from me, learning knowledge right."

Mary was overjoyed when she received the letter. She held the letter carefully in her heart. This gift was enough to make up for the pain of being ignored for many years. Mr. Bennet gave her something that no father dared to give to his daughter. Mary shed tears of gratitude, She wants to go to the world dominated by men to find out, and she wants to break the knowledge monopoly of men over women for thousands of years.
