Chapter 21
I want this child After meeting with Zain Yi’s grandmother, I finally decided to abort the child, after leaving the left bank, I took a taxi directly to the hospital, registered directly with my ID card, and received a list to wait for further examination.
The doctor looked at my situation, and told me that I must think carefully, if the first child is aborted, it may or may not affect the future, and if the nutrition is up to date and the body is well adjusted, it may not be a problem.
Even the doctors don’t have a 100% guarantee that there will be any future problems, and I understand that they all say that, so that if there are no problems, naturally, it’s good, and if there are problems, they say that they have informed the pros and cons.
I sat quietly in the doorway of the operating room with that termination consent form, and there were several others who had come in for surgery today, some younger than me, but looking light-hearted.
My heart kept panicking, my palms sweating, I was scared, I didn’t know if I was doing the right thing or the wrong thing, but I understood that this baby would be unblessed if it was born.
At that moment, a woman next to me peeked over, a little guilty, and asked me, “How many times have you done this?”
I froze and asked rhetorically, “How many times have you done that?”
The woman was probably nervous, and when she saw someone talking with her, she leaned close to me and whispered, “For the seventh time, the doctor just said that if you hit again, there’s a chance you won’t be able to get pregnant for the rest of your life.”
I looked at her in shock and asked, “Then you’re still hitting?”
“He doesn’t want it.” The woman said lonely, “I love him very much, and when I was pregnant with this child, I pleaded with him for a long time, but he said that he would rather dink than have a child.”
As soon as this silly woman’s words trailed off, I angrily wanted to scold her, but at the sight of her pitiful appearance, I couldn’t bear it.
“If you don’t want a child, why don’t you do measures?”
“He said he wasn’t comfortable with a condom, so he didn’t bring one. What about you, was it because he didn’t want to bring one either?” The woman’s question left me speechless, though.
With dry wood and fire burning, not thinking so much about it, I nodded at the woman and fell into a deep thought. Would he be angry if I aborted the baby without saying anything to Zain Yi like this, without telling him?
“Cynthia Mo…who’s Cynthia Mo?” The door to the operating room opened and a nurse with a mask on stood outside shouting.
Before I could respond, the woman next to me pushed me and asked, “Did they call you?”
It dawned on me that I stood up immediately, came forward, and replied, “I’m Cynthia Mo.”
“Come in!” After that nurse replied with a blank expression, she led me through the door. And I, this heart has been beating desperately into my throat.
I walked into a bright operating room, a medical cot, with two shelves for feet beside the b3d, and I froze, standing in fear.
One of the nurses took one look at me and said impatiently, “Take off your pants and come up here, quick.”
My hands and feet stiffly touched the belt, my eyes instantly reddened, and uncontested tears fell down, I had never taken off my pants in front of an outsider in my life, except for Zain who had seen my body. Now that I was ordered to do so without dignity, all the grievances and hard feelings instantly came to my heart.
I finally took off my pants with a hard scalp, and slowly climbed onto that b3d with my legs spread apart on the shelf, and I could clearly feel that they were cleaning up, disinfecting and so on.
Holding the b3d, I put my feet down and called out, “I’m not doing it.”
“Don’t do what?” One of the nurses glared at me with a very bad attitude.
“I’m keeping the baby.” I stared solemnly, bare bottomed, and stood up, just in case they couldn’t hear me, I repeated, “I’m not going to fight, I want to have the baby.”
“I’ve already scratched the money away and we can’t refund you if you don’t fight.” The nurse handed me the card and said again, “If you don’t call, come back next time when you figure it out or you’ll be charged.”
“I know.” I put the card away, put on my pants, and as I walked out of the operating room, I saw the woman who had just spoken to me.
The woman took one look at me and asked, surprised, “So soon?”
I raised my lips and shook my head, “No more fighting, I want to have this baby.”
The woman’s face sank and she lowered her head bitterly, I understood that she must also want to have the child in her womb, but the man she loved refused.
I’ve made up my mind, even if Zain Yi doesn’t want me, I’m going to give birth to this child.
Chapter 22
Sudden return out of the hospital, Fu Cheng late autumn noon, the temperature is still a bit high, I returned to the apartment, after taking a shower and then climb into b3d to rest, to work the night shift, not rest for fear of not holding up.
I don’t know how long I slept, I picked up my phone and it was more than 4:00 p.m. I got up, washed up, cooked something to eat, and went to the office to change shifts with my colleagues.
I’ve never worked the night shift before, and when I got to 10:00 pm, I was yawning, wiping tears without any image, and being ridiculed by my colleague for half a day.
When suddenly, my phone rang, I saw that it was Zain Yi’s, and happily picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
“Where is it?” Zain’s voice was a little heavy.
“At home.” I lied, I hadn’t told him I’d found a job, I’d changed shifts today because I had to meet his grandmother, it was only ten o’clock and I still had three more hours before I got off work, thinking he was away on a business trip, it was just a day.
“Really?” He sounded a little punchy, questioning.
“Really.” I responded shallowly, just as my colleague called out, “Cynthia Mo, come here, the car is here.”
“Whose voice?” The tone of suspicion grew.
I explained, “Where’s the TV, I’m watching it, I’ll talk to you later.” With that, I hung up on him straight away and then hurried out with the typed list.
The evening work was even more tedious than the day, and by the time I walked out of the office after work, I felt a bit cold, the temperature difference between early-midnight in late autumn was too great. I used to shrink my shoulders a little and walked slowly.
The first night shift, more than two o’clock in the morning, no buses, no taxis, I walked quietly by myself, when the company’s colleague Chen Shi rode a small donkey past me and stopped, asking: “Beauty, do you want a ride home?”
I looked over at his tiny electric car and asked, a little worried, “Are you sure I won’t fall apart when I sit on it?”
He laughed, “Come on up, it’s too unsafe for you to go home so late for a girl.”
Chen Shi was right, it was the first time I had gone home so late, and I should be grateful to see that the company’s preferential treatment of me for working the day shift was a great kindness to me.
After Chen shi’s repeated convincing, I got into his flimsy-looking electric car. He drove very slowly and did not say a word on the way, and soon, he walked me to the entrance of the apartment complex.
I waved goodbye to him and walked straight into the complex. After passing through the door, I pressed the elevator, went upstairs, took out the key to open the door, closed the door and turned on the light, I turned back and was shocked when I saw Zain.
Didn’t he say he was going on a business trip for half a month, it’s only been a few days and he’s back. I happily went up to him and asked happily, “Why didn’t you tell me before you came back?”
Zain Yi looked at me without saying a word, his eyes were cold.
I noticed something different about him and suddenly thought about his phone call tonight, guessing that maybe by then he’d be at my apartment, and right now, he’d be angry that I’d lied to him.
“You’re angry?” I quietly walked up to him, took his big hand, shook it, and said petulantly, “Don’t be mad, I got a job, I have to work.”
Zain Yi shook my hand off hard, got up, took two steps, looked back at me out of the corner of his eye, and said, “Does my Zain Yi woman need to be out there throwing herself around until midnight?”
I was so aggravated that I explained, “I was supposed to be on day shift because…”
“Cynthia Mo, you think I can’t afford to feed you? Or have you been trying to cut me off from the beginning?” Zain’s questioning was hard on me, and I could really see the doubt and disgust in his eyes.
I shook my head and moved forward, hu*ging his back, “Zain, don’t be like that, I just want to have a job so I can be independent.”
“Independence?” Zain Yi sarcastically said, “Do you have any idea how many hours I didn’t close my eyes, I was so intent on rushing back to see you, I waited for another four hours, and what excuse are you going to use this time?”
My nose was sore and tears were falling without a fight, I didn’t know he was waiting for me, if I knew, I would have come back after skipping work.
Zain Yi forcefully broke my hand that was hu*ging his waist and turned around, his deep eyes tiredly looking at the pearly whites of me, his voice not as heavy as it was just now, “I’m going home, it’s been too long a delay on your side.”
With that said, he pulled the side of the luggage and slowly walked past me.
In all the time he’s been with Zain Yi, he’s never felt like it was a waste of time to be around me, and now he’s saying those seemingly normal but cruel words because I’m coming home late.
The sound of the doorknob turning shook my nerves and I turned my head in a panic, fearing that his leaving right now was a tacit admission that it was over between me and him, and I blurted out at his back, “I’m pregnant.”
I visibly felt his body startle, his hand resting on the door handle for a long moment before he slowly turned his head and looked at me. Without waiting for him to come over of his own accord, I trotted two steps forward and threw myself tightly into his arms, saying solemnly once more, “Zain Yi, I’m pregnant.”
