If the child wasn't Sikong Jingyu's, Shi Wan might have chosen to keep him.
But that's exactly what it is!
Shi Wan bit her lip, explaining her choice: "Mom, I still want to abort the child."
Qin Qiaolian's expression changed slightly.
Seeing Shi Wan's resolute and determined gaze, Qin Qiaolian suddenly knelt down.
Shi Wan was shocked to see Qin Qiaolian kneeling in front of her. That was her mother who raised her, her own mother. How could she kneel before her!
How could I possibly bear to wait until so late!
"Mom! Get up first!"
Shi Wan tried to pull Qin Qiaolian up, but couldn't.
Shi Wan had no choice but to kneel down as well.
Qin Qiaolian grabbed Shi Wan's hand, pleading, "Wanwan, I beg you, please don't abort the child. It's undeniable that Xiao Jing is partly to blame, but I beg you, it's not just because it's Xiao Jing's child. Even if the child weren't Xiao Jing's, as a mother, I don't want my daughter to abort the baby in her womb."
"Mom, please don't do this..." Shi Wan felt a mix of emotions.
"Get up first..."
Before Shi Wan could finish speaking, Qin Qiaolian grasped her hand and pleaded earnestly, "Wanwan, please listen to your mother and give birth to this child, okay?"
"Mom...I..." Shi Wan opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Keeping this child would only create trouble!
Qin Qiaolian continued to comfort Shi Wan: "Let's go back to Niwan Village and never come back here again. Let's live our peaceful lives as a family, okay?"
Qin Qiaolian doesn't deny that she is a selfish mother. She is Shi Wan's mother, but she is also Sikong Jingyu's mother. Both of them are her children, and Qin Qiaolian cannot abandon either of them.
However, if Qin Qiaolian had to choose between Shi Wan and Sikong Jingyu, without a doubt, she would choose Shi Wan.
"Wanwan, Mom is not afraid to be honest with you. The child in your belly is Mom's last hope for Xiaojing. I have never asked you for anything in this life. Please give Mom a hope, okay?" Qin Qiaolian's honest words carried a hint of pleading.
Shi Wan was at a loss when she saw Qin Qiaolian's pleading. She looked at Qin Qiaolian and saw that Qin Qiaolian's eyes were red and her expression was firm, as if she had made a great decision.
"Mom, get up first, then we'll talk." Shi Wan pulled Qin Qiaolian again.
Qin Qiaolian held Shi Wan's hand, her eyes filled with heartache: "Wanwan, Mom doesn't want to use moral blackmail to force you. Mom is sorry, Mom still used this method in the end, but Mom really has no other choice. If you don't agree, I will keep kneeling and won't get up."
Seeing Qin Qiaolian's stubbornness, Shi Wan was speechless for a moment. Qin Qiaolian had already knelt before Shi Wan, so what else could Shi Wan do?
What would you do if one day your mother knelt before you and begged you for mercy?
Shi Wan felt as if a stone was weighing on her heart, and nodded heavily, "Okay..."
Upon hearing that Shi Wan agreed, Qin Qiaolian immediately laughed happily, "Thank you, Wanwan!"
Shi Wan pursed her lips, unable to express the feelings in her heart.
"Get up quickly, you're pregnant now, you need to take better care of yourself." Qin Qiaolian's eyes were full of joy as she helped Shi Wan sit up on the sofa.
"Are you hungry? Mom will get you some rice." Qin Qiaolian smiled and turned to go into the kitchen.
Compared to Qin Qiaolian's happiness, Shi Wan couldn't smile at all. The existence of this child always troubled Shi Wan.
If Shi Wan really gives birth, and Sikong Jingyu tries to take her away from her, will she be able to win against him?
Furthermore, before pregnancy, she had taken birth control pills once, was drugged, and given sedatives, all of which are risk factors for birth defects.
It was uncertain whether she would disappoint Qin Qiaolian's high expectations.
At noon, Shi Wan went to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital to consult a gynecologist and explained her current situation. The obstetrician said, "The sensitivity of the embryo to drugs varies at different stages of embryonic growth and development, and the degree of harm that drugs may cause to the fetus may also vary at different stages of pregnancy."
Shi Wan frowned slightly: "Doctor, what is the probability of the baby having birth defects?"
The doctor smiled, unable to give a definite answer: "You're a doctor too. The medication will only have two outcomes for the embryo's development: one, a miscarriage due to abnormality; two, it will develop into a normal embryo."
The obstetrician's answer was tantamount to having no answer.
Seeing Shi Wan's serious expression, the obstetrician reassured her, "If medication is taken between the 14th and 28th day of the last menstrual period, which is within two weeks after fertilization, it generally has no effect on the embryo. During this stage, embryonic cells are still differentiating, and their functions are mutually beneficial, showing no selectivity towards drugs. If the embryo is damaged, there are only two possible outcomes: First, the embryo is severely damaged, leading to embryonic death, which means the pregnant woman may experience an early miscarriage. The second outcome is that the embryo is not severely damaged and can continue to survive and develop into a fetus. Weeks 3 to 12 of pregnancy are the most active period of embryonic tissue differentiation, which is also the sensitive period for teratogenicity in the fetus."
If calculated according to the current pregnancy cycle, Shi Wan was in the teratogenic sensitive period when she was drugged, and the doctor's words made Shi Wan start to feel anxious.
"If you are really worried, make sure you have all the necessary prenatal checkups, avoid using any medications, and have surgery promptly if any abnormalities are found."
Shi Wan nodded and left the hospital with a worried expression. She wasn't so worried before coming to the hospital, but she became extremely anxious after arriving.
The obstetrician's message was roughly: leave it to fate. If the development is normal, then everything will be fine; if not, then it's time to terminate the pregnancy.
It seemed that as it grew late, all they could do was leave it to fate.
Looking up at the sky, it was a clear blue, with sunshine that was warm and gentle.
Shi Wan doesn't know what her fate will be in the future.
All I know is to do my best and leave the rest to fate. Just do my best and don't force anything.
Shi Wan promised Qin Qiaolian that she would give birth to the child, but whether or not she could give birth was not up to Shi Wan's word!
After a three-day break, I returned to work in the department late at night.
Before rounds, a colleague said that a strange old lady had been admitted to the emergency department in the past two days. When they asked her where she felt uncomfortable, she said she felt comfortable everywhere. When they tried to persuade her to be discharged, she said she felt uncomfortable everywhere. But when they asked her to specify where she felt uncomfortable, she couldn't say. In short, she said she felt uncomfortable everywhere!
She actually looks quite well...
That's really strange.
"Dr. Shi, please try to get her discharged this morning. I'm telling you, I can't manage anymore," a colleague said during rounds.
"Okay," Shi Wan replied, and walked into the strange old lady's ward.
On the hospital bed, the grandmother was dressed simply, with a string of Buddhist prayer beads on her wrist. When she saw Shi Wan come in, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and she had a kind and peaceful look on her face.
Shi Wan's steps slowed down and gradually came to a stop. This strange old lady... Shi Wan knew her.
It's Grandma Sikong.
