Chapter 59 Making a Decision

Shen Shuangmiao walked aimlessly down the unfamiliar street.

The surrounding area was bustling with people, noisy and chaotic, yet it felt as if they were all separated from her by a thick layer of glass.

Shen Shuangmiao's world consisted only of the test report in her hand, her heart pounding helplessly and heavily.

The phone had already shut down because it was out of battery.

She had no time to look back, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, she finally dragged her heavy steps back to the hotel where she was temporarily staying.

The staff had been worried, but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her approaching. They immediately rushed to greet her.

"Boss, didn't we agree to leave together? Why haven't you come back yet? I didn't dare to leave, so I've been waiting here for you. I thought something had happened to you."

“I also called Manager Fu; he was very worried about you too.”

Shen Shuangmiao snapped out of her daze and said in a low voice, "I have something urgent to attend to and can't leave right away. Let's book the plane tickets first, and we'll leave immediately tonight."

"Okay, I understand. I'll let Manager Fu know." The staff member quickly booked the tickets and called Fu Xuan.

After a night of tossing and turning, they finally landed at dawn.

The staff left immediately to go home and adjust to the time difference.

Shen Shuangmiao took a taxi to the studio by herself.

She had just reached the door when she saw Fu Xuan waiting there anxiously.

"Miaomiao! What happened to you? Why was your phone off all night? I couldn't reach you. I checked your flight records and thought something had happened to you. I almost called the police!"

Fu Xuan's tone was full of anxiety as he looked her up and down, noticing that her face was frighteningly pale, as if she had suffered a huge blow.

"What's wrong? Did you not reach an agreement on work, or did Zhu Jin do something to you again?"

Fu Xuan's last words were spoken in a low voice, filled with obvious anger.

Shen Shuangmiao looked up at Fu Xuan's concerned expression, her lips moved but no sound came out.

Tears suddenly rolled down my cheeks.

Fu Xuan panicked, his hands and feet flailing about, yet he dared not act rashly.

He could only ask anxiously, "What happened? Don't scare me, what's wrong?"

Shen Shuangmiao trembled as she took the lab report, which had been squeezed so hard it was throbbing, out of her bag and handed it over.

Fu Xuan took it with a puzzled look. Instantly, all the color drained from his face.

"This...you, you're pregnant?"

His voice changed as he looked at Shen Shuangmiao's flat stomach in disbelief.

"Is it Zhu Jin's?"

Shen Shuangmiao closed her eyes and nodded painfully.

Fu Xuan was completely stunned.

After a long while, he struggled to find his voice, which trembled slightly.

"So what do you plan to do?"

Shen Shuangmiao suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of almost cruel coldness flashing in them.

She didn't hesitate at all.

"Get rid of it!"

Fu Xuan's heart sank: "Miaomiao, you..."

"What else? Should we give birth to it?"

Shen Shuangmiao interrupted him, her tone becoming agitated, yet tinged with deep weariness.

She closed her eyes. "Without a father, or with a father who hates his mother to the core, how can a child grow up healthily? Or do you want me to live in the shadow of the past for the rest of my life with my child?"

Shen Shuangmiao shook her head, took a step back, and leaned against the cold wall, as if only in this way could she support herself.

"This child shouldn't have come. He came at the wrong time. Zhu Jin and I are over. He's going to divorce someone else tonight. This child was just an accident, an accident that happened when we hated each other!"

"He shouldn't have been born at all. Don't blame me for being heartless, please don't blame me for being heartless..."

Shen Shuangmiao spoke incoherently and hurriedly, as if she was trying to persuade Fu Xuan, or as if she was afraid that the child would blame her and was trying to use this reason to suppress the turmoil in her heart.

Fu Xuan watched her break down yet pretend to be strong, feeling so heartbroken that he didn't know what to say.

He knew that Shen Shuangmiao's words made sense.

The child's current situation is indeed awkward.

But he knew all too well how much pain Shen Shuangmiao felt after making this decision.

When Shen Shuangmiao was still in contact with him, she said to him more than once with a happy look on her face that if she really married Zhu Jin in the future, she must have at least three children.

At that time, Shen Shuangmiao had not yet experienced the bitterness of love.

She even tasted all the sweetness and fairytale happiness of love, so she had the purest and most beautiful longing for marriage.

But now, her marriage has shattered her, and she can't even have children.

Fu Xuan took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gently pressed her trembling shoulders.

His voice softened: "Okay, let's not talk about this now. Calm down, don't get agitated. Whatever decision you make, I'll help you, but..."

He looked at Shen Shuangmiao and said solemnly, word by word, "You must think this through carefully. Don't make a decision because of a momentary emotional impulse and regret it later."

"I won't regret it!"

Shen Shuangmiao answered him decisively, looking at him.

“I have to do this.”

Only by completely severing all ties can she truly start anew.

This child should not have come into this world.

She wasn't prepared to keep the child either.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Fu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Okay, so when are you going to abort this child?"

Shen Shuangmiao looked at him and said, word by word, "Let's do it today, don't delay any longer."

When she said those words, she was filled with exhaustion.

We can't delay any longer, absolutely not.

This kind of thing needs to be resolved quickly.

She didn't expect that when she finally left this world, the child would still be in her womb.

Shen Shuangmiao found it somewhat difficult to speak.

"I'm afraid I'll be too scared to go alone. Could you come with me?"

Fu Xuan sighed and immediately understood what she meant.

Without hesitation, he said, "Don't worry, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Shen Shuangmiao breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully pursed her lips: "Thank you."

"It's okay, I'll take care of you then, don't worry."

Shen Shuangmiao smiled slightly, which calmed her down a bit.

The next morning?

She quickly got dressed and went out with Fu Xuan to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.

However, the radio station the driver was playing on the road was broadcasting news.

"Today, the heir of the Zhu family group officially announced the location of his marriage proposal to Miss Zhou: the rooftop of the company building..."

Shen Shuangmiao's fingers trembled as she gripped the crumpled and illegible lab report.

She showed no outward emotion.

However, Fu Xuan still noticed her expression.

He asked softly, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a little..."

Shen Shuangmiao curled her lips into a smile.

"It seems a bit absurd, doesn't it?"

She is currently on her way to get an abortion, but Zhu Jin has made a high-profile announcement that he is about to propose to another woman.

Shen Shuangmiao genuinely found it hilarious, but also felt a sense of unreality.

She even felt that she shouldn't have wasted so much time getting entangled with Zhu Jin.

Everything can end now.

Shen Shuangmiao closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair to rest.

At the same time, a car pulled up in front of the studio.
