Sun Lifang, diagnosed with terminal cancer, reflected on her hard-fought life in the hospital. She had once enjoyed immense glory, riding on her husband's success, with a loving family and chil...
"What is neck skin?" Sun Lifang didn't know anything about it when she had her first systemic examination.
Fortunately, the nurse was professional and polite, "checking the thickness of the translucent membrane behind the baby's neck, the amount of amniotic fluid, and whether the hands and feet are normal."
"Blood tests will only be conducted once the results are normal."
"This step reveals the gender," the nurse said gently. "Do you know the gender?"
Many wealthy businessmen from mainland China now bring their wives or mistresses to have their gender determined.
The instruments used in mainland China are still not as advanced as those in Hong Kong. Here, the accuracy of gender can be guaranteed to be 100%.
The nurse's question startled Sun Lifang.
She didn't really want to think about it anymore—
Because in the previous life, all that was taken out were chunks of flesh.
She could smell the burning protein odor as the doctor placed the gauze and used hemostats to suture the wound.
It smells like burning hair.
But back then, Zhou Yunshi told her, "You're a girl, don't be sad."
How could I not be sad?
The combined physical and psychological stress caused her to call back and yell at him before she could calm down.
The blunt language used is to sever ties with one's parents.
But what's the use of scolding?
Language seems pale and powerless in that context.
How could she possibly out-argue her rogue parents?
A head-on confrontation will yield no results; you need to learn to use your brain.
Unfortunately... I didn't understand back then. I lost my mind in anger and went further and further down the wrong path.
One wrong step leads to another, and you bring your emotions into your family.
If you suffer, you must make everyone else suffer too.
In this way, Sun Lifang now believed what Zhou Yunshi said in the [Wish] quest: "My wife suffers from mental illness."
Perhaps that's the case.
"Here." Recalling the past, Sun Lifang subconsciously touched her temple. "Something's wrong with my brain."
The nurse in front of her couldn't understand the woman sitting on the sofa in a daze, so she reached out and touched her.
“It’s okay, the gentleman outside said he doesn’t care about gender.”
They look like a perfect couple, they must be husband and wife.
The nurse's conclusion was not without reason—
Wealthy businessmen usually pay their fees and then go to the lounge for tea when they bring their mistresses, but the gentlemen outside are different.
He even wanted to come in and keep him company.
"I don't know the gender." Finally, Sun Lifang said this to the nurse.
But in the eyes of the world, the worst outcome is that it's a girl, isn't it?
She is ready to welcome her baby.
Thinking of this, Sun Lifang's lips curled up slightly, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, if she's pregnant, she's my baby. If I can't bear to abort, I'll give birth to her and raise her well."
Because Sun Lifang was relaxed and cooperative, the examination went very smoothly.
After the first round was completed, Sun Lifang went to the room to wait.
The results came out half an hour later.
While sitting on the sofa in slippers, lost in thought, I suddenly noticed someone standing in front of me.
The person wearing the sterile suit looks really funny.
He squeezed down next to her, looking as big and fat as a man, and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Still not happy?"
Sun Lifang didn't speak, looking down at her fingers.
"I've come to keep you company."
Without saying anything else, there was a sound of clothes rubbing together, and the woman was pulled into his arms.
Pressing his forehead against hers, the man said softly, "Don't be afraid."
Even though the road ahead may be long and arduous, having family by your side provides the strength to move forward.
