Professor Qiu wasn't shirking responsibility by saying this; the truth is simply that with any surgery, no matter how confident one might be, there's always a chance of something unexpected happening!
So in situations like this, there's no way to guarantee anything to the patient's family. Even though Professor Qiu knows his mother so well, she couldn't promise things for certain.
Wu Yuekai frowned deeply. Although he knew what she said was true, receiving such an answer still left him dissatisfied.
The surgery was necessary because, on the way there, Beisitian's water broke. If it was just spotting, they could wait a little longer, but with the water breaking, there's a risk of infection, which is dangerous for both the mother and child.
"Did Xiao Bei eat anything this evening?" Professor Qiu asked Luo Xudong.
"She did," Luo Xudong replied.
