“It’s good that you’re better, but you should still go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up. Stomach issues should be seen early, don’t keep dragging it out…”
“Got it, Aunt Du!” Chu E teased with a laugh.
“Hah!” Du Moli was exasperated, “Are you still the same Shen novelist I know?” She pretended to be angry, “Alright, I don’t care what happens to you, just take care of yourself! I’m hanging up!
Chu E smiled and ended the call.
After curling up in bed for a while, she lazily got up to wash. Finally mustering the courage, she bought a few pregnancy tests from an adult store outside her community. For safety, she bought one of each brand.
When she saw the row of uniform double red lines, she was stunned. Oh God, she had truly “won the lottery”!
At that moment, an indescribable feeling surged in her heart. Was it joy? Was it sorrow? She didn’t know, only feeling a mix of emotions.
To be on the safe side, she went to the maternity hospital. The B-ultrasound confirmed she was indeed pregnant. The doctor glanced at the report and casually said, “You’re pregnant, around forty days.”
Standing at the hospital entrance, she was lost. She never dreamed that after gathering the courage to break up with Gu Yanzhi, she would be pregnant. A moment of passion, a secret conception – should she be excited or regretful? What would she do with this child?
She suddenly thought of Yun Lei. Lei Lei, I’ve followed in your footsteps again!
Only now did she truly understand Yun Lei’s helplessness and confusion. Because she couldn’t bear to let go, she kept the child, only to lose him and the hope that sustained her, ultimately choosing to leave with the child. What about her own child? Keep it or not?
Keeping it would be selfish, not keeping it would be cruel. Either way would be irresponsible! Regret came too late, so what should she do next? Chu E’s head was spinning.
In a daze, she unknowingly dialed Gu Yanzhi’s number. Hearing his familiar low, magnetic voice, her nose involuntarily tingled.
“No need!” Chu’e said stiffly, “I don’t drink coffee! Just give me a cup of hot water!”
Yunzhi was stunned, then smiled slightly, “When did you quit coffee?”
