Xia Nuannuan clenched her fists as he stared at the document for the surgery.
And then he proceeded to sign the document.
Xia Nuannuan bit her lip harshly.
She cast her gaze downwards to conceal the sadness that she felt.
However, come to think of it, this made sense as well.
To the both of them, this child had come as an accident.
She took in a deep breath and followed Shen Zihao, sitting down on the chairs next to them. They waited there for her number to be called.
Time passed slowly, but also swiftly.
This caused Xia Nuannuan to feel a sense of unspeakable sorrow and grief.
She didn’t know what to say or what to do, so she just waited for her turn.
Finally, the doctor came over and called her.
Xia Nuannuan stood up and looked at Shen Zihao. After hesitating for a while, she then said, “That—”
Shen Zihao raised his head.
Xia Nuannuan bit her lip and said slowly, “Aunt Xia is fine now. Basically, she is already able to function as usual. Her speech is also functioning smoothly. You don’t have to worry.”
Xia Nuannuan bit her lip once more. “Since we have met coincidentally today, then there’s no need for me to give you a call again.”
Shen Zihao answered with a “Hmm.”
Xia Nuannuan took a glance at the doctor and said, “I shall go in now.”
Shen Zihao continued nodding.
Xia Nuannuan then followed the doctor into the surgery room.
As her baby was still premature—not even forty days old yet—she couldn’t undergo abortion surgery, so she opted to take medication for abortion.
The doctor prescribed her medication and told her to take a pill now, and the other pill two hours later.
Xia Nuannuan walked to the chair next to her after nodding.
She had to take the medication at the observation room. After taking the medicine, she would be kept under observation for four hours. Once the unborn baby had been removed safely, she could go home.
However, while sitting in the observation room, she stared at the pill and could hardly bear to eat it.
She was carrying a live baby in her belly.
But right now, this pill could terminate the pregnancy.
It was such a cruel thing to do.
Xia Nuannuan’s eyes filled with tears gradually.
She was only 23 years old, had just graduated from university and just entered the workforce.
She did not know how she should handle this situation, much less how to face the future.
She only knew that right now, she was suffering from a terrible heartache.
She suddenly lifted her hand to cover her own mouth, while tears kept flowing down her cheeks. She bit her lip harshly, not allowing herself to cry aloud.
There were a few others in the observation room.
They all looked as if they were numb from the procedure, as if doing this had already become the norm.
Someone even patted her shoulder after seeing her reaction. “What’s there to cry? I can tell from one look that this is your first time. In the future, you won’t care!”
Xia Nuannuan was stunned.
But, perhaps because this was the first one, she especially cherished it and was terribly sad.
Xia Nuannuan took in a deep breath before lowering her head to look at the pill in her hand once again. She picked up the bottle of mineral water.
She had unscrewed the cap of the water bottle and was about to place the pill in her mouth, when suddenly the observation room’s door was flung open.
Xia Nuannuan was stunned. As she turned around, she saw that Shen Zihao was standing right in front of her!
There was a look of eagerness and hesitation on Shen Zihao’s face. When he saw her, he pursed his lips and asked, “Is this child mine?”
Xia Nuannuan was totally muddled by his words.
So in his eyes, he regarded her as a skittish woman?
As she thought about this, he said, “If the child is mine, please keep it and let’s get married.”
