Those large hands firmly supported her shoulders. She suddenly opened her eyes and glared fiercely at him. This Demon! What could he mean by showing this kind of movie? "I accidentally came across this film last year. I found it so shocking that I saved it..." If you’ve saved it, why make me watch it with you? She wished she could slap him across the face, but her hand had no strength; it just trembled. "Xixi, shall we keep the baby?" His voice was surprisingly tender. "Look how pitiful the little baby is. If a dilation and curettage procedure—a D&C—is performed, it will be shredded to pieces. It’s utterly cruel. After all, it’s our flesh and blood, isn’t it? When a child comes to be conceived, it’s seeking life, not death. We really can’t be that cruel to it..." Moving too quickly, she nearly knocked the chair over. Wan Donglin followed her immediately. She had already rushed into the bedroom, slammed the door shut, and thrown herself onto the bed. He opened the door, went in, and quietly sat on the edge of the bed. She pulled the covers tightly over her head, burying her face. Despite it being summer, she was chilled to the bone, shivering as if with a fever. Even with her eyes closed, how could she possibly fall asleep? All she could think about was that pitiful little life torn apart... They were alive, yet their lives were brutally taken by humans. Apart from humans, who else could be so cruel? Even more terrifyingly, most people, if they hadn’t seen this film, might even think that abortion was a trivial matter. Before this, even Yan Xixi herself had thought so. But now, she was shaking violently, cold sweat soaking her clothes through. A pair of large hands reached out, gripping her hand firmly. She had no strength left, merely letting him squeeze her hand tightly. He was saying something, but she wasn’t in the mood to listen. Her mind was filled with all those horrifying scenes, a chaotic jumble. Throughout the night, she dreamt of the baby sucking its thumb suddenly being shredded by large forceps... She screamed aloud in her dreams until Wan Donglin jolted her awake. "Xixi... Xixi... You’re having a nightmare. Wake up, quickly..." She was bathed in cold sweat, staring intensely at him. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the ɴovelfire.net She had never in her life hated someone so fiercely: This Demon! This horrifying Demon. His intentions were so malevolent! "Xixi, don’t be scared. It was just a nightmare. Don’t be afraid, just open your eyes..." His large hand gently patted her back. She was surprisingly weak, lacking even the strength to hate him. 「When she finally roused herself, it was already a new day.」 The breakfast was as extravagant as always: rock sugar bird’s nest, white fungus soup, congee, milk, and all sorts of freshly made pastries. But Yan Xixi couldn’t swallow any of it. Wan Donglin smiled broadly. "Xixi, eat more. After you eat, I’ll accompany you to the hospital for a thorough check-up." After drinking two bowls of congee, she followed him to the hospital like a puppet. They went to the best obstetrics and gynecology hospital in the city. Thanks to the VIP passage, they were ushered through without obstruction and quickly underwent a detailed check-up. The doctor, holding the report, said, "Mr. Wan, the fetus is developing normally. However, the HCG levels are very low. She will need to take some medication to support the pregnancy and generally be careful." Wan Donglin meticulously examined all the data. "Does she need to be hospitalized to support the pregnancy?" "Hospitalization would certainly be better, if possible." "Then let’s arrange for hospitalization..." It was Yan Xixi who spoke. "There’s no need for hospitalization."
