He grabbed her hand. "Hurry up and eat, don’t dilly-dally. I’m starving." She followed him to the dining table like a puppet and sat down. The breakfast was surprisingly extravagant, a combination of Chinese and Western styles. Bird’s nest, fish maw, and cordyceps were all served, along with fish fillet congee, shredded chicken congee, four or five kinds of dim sum, and five or six small side dishes. The breakfast here had never been this lavish before. She was somewhat surprised. Wan Donglin was all smiles. "Xixi, eat more." Perhaps the side dishes were indeed light and tasty today. She ate a full bowl of congee, put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth, and said, "Mr. Wan, we can leave now." He just looked at her. She remained calm. "If Mr. Wan doesn’t want to go, that’s okay. I can go alone." "Didn’t you say that the hospital doesn’t have an anesthetist on weekends?" "I can go to a private hospital. Private hospitals can perform the procedure anytime..." she explained. "It might be too late for the surgery today, but I can make an appointment at a private hospital and go tomorrow. That would be just right." "Private hospitals are risky, and no one will be held accountable if something goes wrong." "It’s a minor surgery, nothing significant. Any hospital can do it." She went for her bag, but he pulled her back. "Let’s do it on Monday! I’ll personally accompany you to the hospital then. Going to a private hospital is pointless, and it’s not so urgent that it can’t wait a day or two, right?" She couldn’t refuse his command. After a moment of silence, she said quietly, "I’m going upstairs to rest." "You’ve been sleeping for more than ten hours. How could you possibly sleep more? Xixi, come with me to watch a movie." She didn’t like watching movies and usually didn’t watch them, but when he gave an order, she dared not disobey. The house had a small theater with over a dozen seats. Nobody ever used it when Wan Donglin wasn’t home. Yan Xixi had no idea why he suddenly wanted to watch a movie today; she wasn’t interested at all. She closed her eyes and dozed off throughout the film. "...The most dangerous place in the world is in a mother’s womb for ten months..." Upon hearing this, she suddenly opened her eyes. "...Every year in our country, there are tens of millions of abortions. We’re the country with the highest number of abortions in the world. Countless small lives are murdered while still in the womb..." Wan Donglin glanced at her casually, but she didn’t notice at all; she just stared intently at the screen. It was an educational film called "Silent Scream." The film used the latest sonar technology to fully display the entire record of a woman undergoing an abortion. Most abortions are performed around the twelfth week when the fetus is still small. At this stage, it can be sucked out with a powerful suction device. This device is twenty-five times more powerful than an ordinary household vacuum cleaner. The suction force tears and twists the fetus’s body, gradually tearing it apart until only the head remains. The fetus’s head is too large to pass through the suction tube, so forceps must be inserted into the uterus to grasp the head separately. It is then crushed until it can be extracted. Essentially, the baby is dismembered during this entire process. When it is finally sucked out, it is just a pile of fragmented flesh, which is then scraped clean with a knife. Throughout the entire suction and dismemberment procedure, you could see bloody, pinkish tissue flowing out, bit by bit, through a plastic tube... Wan Donglin glanced at her. Even in the dimly lit projection room, he could see that Yan Xixi’s face was exceptionally pale. He reached out to take her hand and found it was as cold as ice. She wasn’t even aware of his touch, her gaze fixed on the screen.
