Chuxia couldn’t help but stare absentmindedly. She wanted to become pregnant, to have a child, because she needed to fulfill the mission given by Mrs. Shi to secure her position as the Young Madam of the Shi Family. She had never considered whether she wanted this child or whether she could be a good mother.
She looked forward to the child, not like other expecting mothers who anticipate their own flesh and blood coming into this world and growing up with them. Instead, she hoped that the child would shut Mrs. Shi’s mouth and stop her from picking on her.
Was she wrong? After all, a child is not some object; it’s a person with flesh and blood. It will be born with thoughts and emotions. If it knew under what circumstances it had been born, would it hate her?
Moreover, Che didn’t want her child either. Even if she really did become pregnant, with the child being unwanted, could it ever be happy? Could it be joyful?
Would it... also become a puppet under Mrs. Shi’s control? Like her, like her elder sister, living only according to Mrs. Shi’s wishes, without any resistance or disagreement.
As Chuxia thought about this, a cold sweat broke out on her back. She knew best how she lived her own life; even if it was wrapped in a glamorous exterior, the inside was already festering. Despite the pain, she couldn’t cry out; she could only grit her teeth and endure. How could she let someone else go through the same?
No... she didn’t want this at all, not one bit... Chuxia shook her head unconsciously, a hint of panic surfacing in her eyes as if she had already seen the future.
When the nurse came with the test results, she noticed Chuxia’s slightly pale face and absent-minded expression, a flicker of concern passing through her eyes, and she couldn’t help asking, "Miss Ling? Are you feeling unwell?"
The nurse’s voice suddenly awakened Chuxia. She lifted her head slightly, saw the nurse standing in front of her, staring at her worriedly. Her expression slightly hardened, and she instinctively lowered her eyelids to hide the emotions in her eyes. Then she curved her lips slightly, clenched her hands, and spoke in a calm voice, "I’m fine."
The nurse appeared somewhat skeptical, clearly seeing her pale face earlier, "Miss Ling..."
Chuxia, seeming to know what she was about to say, directly interrupted her, "The report is out, right?"
The nurse, unable to continue, simply responded, "Yes, Miss Ling, here is your report. Doctor Wu is already waiting for you in the clinic."
While speaking, the nurse handed over the test report. Chuxia took it, nodded at the nurse, then stood up and walked out of the VIP room. However, unlike usual, she didn’t head towards Doctor Wu’s clinic; instead, she walked directly towards the hospital’s main exit.
