He continued to press Su Yan: "What good will it do you to abort this child? Don't you know how important this child is to our family?"
Su Yan maintained her smile, "Didn't you say you respected Sisi's decision?"
"I did say I respect Sisi's decision, but that doesn't mean I have to respect your decision too," Qiao Chen immediately retorted coldly.
Su Yan then turned to look at Duan Sisi, "Then let's ask Sisi's opinion, whether she wants to keep the child or not."
Qiao Chen also turned her expectant gaze to Duan Sisi.
Duan Sisi hesitated between the two for a moment, but ultimately chose to stand with Su Yan.
"This decision was indeed made by me."
Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Chen suddenly slammed his fist on the table and stood up angrily, "Su Yan, what business is it of yours, an outsider, with our family's affairs!"
Su Yan remained unfazed. "Can't you hear me? Sisi said it was her own decision."
"How could that be! How could a mother kill her own child!"
Qiao Chen vehemently denied it, pointing at Su Yan as she rushed over, "It's all because of your instigation that she made such a foolish decision! Don't think I don't know! You're just unhappy in your own marriage and mentally unstable, so you don't want others to be happy either!"
"Am I mentally unstable, or are you up to no good?"
Su Yan coldly stared at the finger he was poking at her face, then suddenly grabbed it, twisted it with her backhand, and a scream rang in her ears.
Su Yan didn't stop. She grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder, sending Qiao Chen sprawling to the ground in a sorry state.
The fall nearly shook his internal organs out of his body.
Qiao Chen clutched his chest and writhed on the ground, his face contorted in pain.
Su Yan clapped her hands and looked down at him.
"Qiao Chen, if you really can't bear to part with this child, just say it openly, and no one will condemn you. But you use such dirty tricks and clumsy lies to deceive a pregnant woman who has just been injured, making her your tool for carrying on the family line. Then don't blame me for being impolite."
Qiao Chen finally managed to get up from the ground. He ignored Su Yan and went towards Duan Sisi.
"Sisi, don't listen to her divisive words. She's just jealous of our happiness and doesn't want us to be happy!"
Duan Sisi looked at him with red eyes, "Then tell me, if I want to abort this child, will you agree?"
Qiao Chen was stunned, then stomped her foot in frustration.
Why do you have to be so hard on this child?
Duan Sisi flung his hand away, pointed at the door, and shouted sharply, "Get out of here!"
Qiao Chen wanted to say something, but Duan Sisi dragged and threw her out of the coffee shop.
When she turned back, the first thing she said to Su Yan was, "I've made up my mind. I want to abort this child."
Duan Sisi refused Su Yan's offer to accompany her and went to the hospital alone, looking dejected.
She wiped her face, walked to the nurses' station, and forced a smile.
"Hello, I'd like to ask if Dr. Wenzhan is on duty today?"
"Yes, would you like to make an appointment with Dr. Wen?"
The nurse was very enthusiastic. After hearing Duan Sisi's affirmative answer, she helped her register and kindly led her to a chair to sit and wait.
Duan Sisi held the number in her hand, then suddenly hesitated, beginning to question whether her decision had been too hasty.
Upon thinking of this, she immediately stood up, and just as she was about to leave, someone put their arm around her shoulder.
Duan Sisi turned her head in surprise and found that the person who had put his arm around her shoulder was actually Qiao Chen.
What are you doing here?
Qiao Chen's face was ashen as she spat out through gritted teeth, "I will not let you abort my child. If you don't want things to get out of control, come with me right now!"
His words were almost commands.
Duan Sisi glanced at the people coming and going around her, hesitated for a moment, and then followed Qiao Chen.
She had barely left when the nurse came over.
The nurse stared blankly at the empty seat for a moment, then walked into Wenzhan's office.
Taking advantage of the brief pause after Wen Zhan finished seeing a patient, she said, "Dr. Wen, that friend you know is here again."
Wen Zhan was a little confused. "Which friend?"
"That's the very beautiful lady who came to see you for treatment a couple of days ago."
Upon hearing her description, Wen Zhan instantly pictured Duan Sisi in his mind.
He paused for a moment, then turned and asked, "Do you know her number?"
"56, I'm the one who helped her register."
Wenzhan didn't react after hearing this and continued to diligently treat the patient.
After the nurse left, he turned his head and flipped through the numbers on his hand. Seeing that the top one was number 55, he muttered, "Then there's only one left."
For some reason, patient number 55, who came for a prenatal checkup, suddenly felt that Dr. Wen was working particularly efficiently today. Tests that usually take a long time to complete were finished very quickly today.
Before leaving the office, she couldn't help but look back at Wen Zhan one last time, wanting to see what was different about him than usual.
Wen Zhan waited in the office for ages, but Duan Sisi, who was 56, never showed up. He couldn't help but stand up, grab a thermos, stretch, and stroll to the door.
He drank water while glancing at the patients waiting outside the door, but he didn't see Duan Sisi at all.
Wen Zhan beckoned to the nurse from earlier, puzzled. "Where's number 56?"
The nurse turned her head and glanced at the seat that Duan Sisi had been sitting in; it had already been taken by someone else.
"It seems like it wasn't here just now. Wait a moment, I'll go ask them if they know."
She quickly finished asking her question and then turned back to tell Wenzhan the truth: "They said a very handsome man came, who seemed to be her husband, and he put his arm around her and they left. They seemed to be very affectionate."
She tried to guess: "Did something happen and they left first?"
Wenzhan nodded mechanically and agreed: "Okay, I understand."
He lingered back to his office, and as soon as he put down the thermos he was carrying, he quickly turned back.
He grabbed the nurse who hadn't yet left, saying, "I need to go to the restroom, can you watch over me?"
"Oh, okay."
Once the nurse agreed, Wenzhan quickly walked outside.
In the fire escape, Qiao Chen glared at Duan Sisi in front of him. "You're not allowed to come here again without my permission. Come home with me."
"On what grounds?"
Qiao Chen suddenly roared, "Because I'm the child's father!"
His appearance terrified Duan Sisi. He realized he had lost control of his emotions and calmed down.
Qiao Chen grabbed Duan Sisi's wrist and pulled her downstairs without saying a word.
"Come with me."
"Let me go!"
Duan Sisi struggled desperately, but she was no match for his strength.
"Come with me!" Qiao Chen raised her voice once again.
Just as he was about to pull Duan Sisi down the stairs, a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed his wrist.
