I couldn't sleep all night after Su Sheng left.

I woke up very late the next day.

After the doctor made rounds, I inquired about my condition and learned that the problem was not serious and that I only needed to rest in bed for a few more days. I immediately applied to be discharged.

I dared not stay any longer, afraid of having any further involvement with Su Shenglin.

Back in the newly rented house, which was more spacious and brighter than before, even the myna bird liked it.

When they saw me return, the myna bird excitedly came up to me and chirped around me.

But I can no longer take it for walks like I used to.

"Sister Wan, you rest for a bit, I'll take my myna bird down for a walk." Little Cherry took great care of me, and as she spoke, she had already taken out a dog leash, put the myna bird on it, and opened the door to go out.

I sat down on the sofa, and one hand unconsciously began to stroke my abdomen.

Even though I'm home, I still feel uneasy.

This morning, I asked the doctor about my recent medication for pneumonia. I didn't expect to get pregnant at the time, and there were no restrictions. I'm wondering if it will affect the fetus.

The doctor asked me in detail about the medications I had used before, and after considering all factors, he didn't dare to give a definite answer.

To put it simply, there are indeed risks involved.

Yesterday, I was absolutely certain that I wanted to keep the baby.

I even considered selling my company and living abroad under an assumed name for the rest of my life to avoid suspicion.

But now that I've heard what the doctor said, I'm having second thoughts.

Without a doubt, I love this child.

But I cannot ignore the possible consequences just because of selfish love.

If the medication affects the fetus and the baby is born with a disability, that would be a disaster for the baby.

I thought about it repeatedly, but I still couldn't make up my mind.

At noon, Li Yunwei called.

"Why haven't I heard from you these past few days? Are you recovering well?" Li Yunwei asked with concern.

I didn't tell Li Yunwei about my fainting and hospitalization yesterday, and now that she's asking, I suddenly feel guilty.

"Well... I'm fine, I just had a little problem yesterday, but it's nothing now."

I tried to downplay it, but Li Yunwei still sensed something was off. "A minor issue? What do you mean? Are you sick again?"

"no……"

What is that?

I didn't intend to keep it a secret from my best friend. Chen Wanzhen is coming over tomorrow, and if we stay together, she'll definitely find out, and then Weiwei will find out eventually too.

"I...I'm pregnant, and my body isn't adjusting yet. I fainted yesterday—"

"What?" Li Yunwei exclaimed in surprise. "You, you're pregnant?! Whose child is it? Su Shenglin's?"

"..." My lips twitched involuntarily. "What do you think? Who else could it be?"

"Such a big thing, and you didn't mention a word to me. Jiang Wan, do you even consider me your best friend anymore? I'm furious!"

I smiled and quickly apologized, "It was my oversight. I was stunned when I got the news yesterday and didn't think of these things. See, I'm telling you right now, but you absolutely must keep it a secret. I haven't decided what to do with this child yet."

"What?" Li Yunwei was shocked again. "You want to abort the child? How could you do something so cruel?"

“It’s not that I want to, but reality is forcing me to. You forgot that I was hospitalized with pneumonia a few days ago, and the medication I took at that time may have affected the fetus.”

Li Yunwei fell silent for a moment.

After a moment of silence, she asked, "Are you still in the hospital?"

"Just got discharged from the hospital and is at home."

Are you alone?

"Little Cherry came back with me, and she's gone downstairs to walk the dog now."

"Okay, I got it. I'll come find you. Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll bring it over."

I was initially worried, but when Li Yunwei asked me what to eat for lunch, I realized I was actually hungry and really wanted to try the dishes at Yuyuan Restaurant.

"If it's convenient for you... hehe, bring me the things I usually like to eat."

"Okay, then I'll have the cook make it."

I immediately smiled and said in a coquettish tone, "Thank you, Weiwei, it's so good to have you."

"Hmph! Don't think that just because you're trying to please me now, I won't scold you when I get there!" Li Yunwei saw through my intentions and said some harsh words as she hung up the phone.

Cherry came back from walking the dog and asked me what I wanted for lunch so she could order food.

"No need, Weiwei will be here in a bit with a big meal."

"Sister Weiwei, are you coming over? Should I go back to the company now?"

"No rush, let's eat before we go."

Li Yunwei arrived a little after 11 a.m., bringing with her a delicious meal prepared by the chef of Yuyuan Restaurant.

"Are you not experiencing morning sickness now?" Li Yun asked curiously as I headed straight for the food.

"No, it's early pregnancy, nothing's wrong." I also want to take advantage of the fact that I haven't had any symptoms yet to enjoy a few big meals and build up some nutrition.

When I became aware of this subconscious thought, I realized that I still wanted to keep the child.

“Weiwei, I want to sell the company. I did the math last night, and with the company’s current situation, it should be able to fetch around 300 million. Then I can pay back the money I owe Su Shenglin, and with the rest, I can manage to raise the child.”

After all, I will continue to work in the future.

Even if you keep a few million, it will be enough for your expenses for two or three years.

Li Yun frowned slightly. "So, you've thought it through, do you still want to have the baby?"

"Yes. I consulted a doctor, and it's recommended to have three or four anomaly scans during the entire pregnancy. If any problems are found during the scans, there's no rush to take action."

Hesitation and indecisiveness are not in my nature.

I've made up my mind: I'll give birth!

Little Cherry frowned and said weakly, "But a late-term miscarriage is very harmful to the body..."

There's nothing we can do about it; we can only take it one step at a time.
