Manbao put down the scalpel, gently reached her hand inside, carefully pulled out the baby's foot, then lifted the baby slightly by the foot. Her other hand skillfully slid down to support the baby's neck and head, and before long, she had the baby in her hands.
No one had expected it to happen so quickly. Ms. Doctor Liu and Doctor Xiao froze in place for a moment. Manbao glanced at them and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and cut the umbilical cord!"
Before they could react, the midwife and Nanny Li, who were trembling but still functional, sprang into action, grabbing scissors and deftly cutting the umbilical cord.
Nanny Li brought over a soft piece of cotton cloth, wrapped the baby, and, along with the midwife, carried him away for cleaning. They cleared away the residue from the baby's mouth and nose but were left a bit at a loss afterward.
