"Perhaps she's come to a decision," Shen Zhi Qiu smiled gently. "I want to keep the child."
"That's great." Dr. Jiang smiled as she wrote out the prescription. "Your boyfriend must be very happy." Dr. Jiang thought that Shen Zhi Qiu must have told her boyfriend the good news when she got home, and he was also looking forward to the arrival of the child, which was why Shen Zhi Qiu had such a big change in her personality.
“My husband doesn’t know about the child yet.” When her boyfriend was mentioned, the light on Shen Zhi Qiu’s face dimmed a little.
"Hmm?" Dr. Jiang paused in her writing. "You're already married?" She glanced at the age column, which read 24, which was normal. However, the girl in front of her looked very young. Although she was stunningly beautiful, she still retained some girlish qualities. That's why she assumed she wasn't married yet and might get married after having a child.
“Hmm.” Shen Zhi Qiu’s voice turned colder. “But I don’t want my husband to know. My husband doesn’t like children, and we’re already preparing for a divorce.”
Hearing this, Dr. Jiang looked up at her and said earnestly, "Ms. Shen, in today's society, being a single mother is an extremely difficult path, especially since you are carrying twins. As an obstetrician and gynecologist, I have seen too many young women like you who, out of love or impulse, kept their children and became single mothers, either willingly or unwillingly. Many regret it because countless responsibilities weigh on you from the moment the children are born. As a mother, you have no way out. Therefore, I must stand from the perspective of a doctor and also a mother to seriously remind you to think carefully and not to regret it."
Seeing that Shen Zhi Qiu lowered her head and didn't speak, Dr. Jiang smiled and continued, "You might think I'm being long-winded and saying things you don't like to hear, but I see that you're about the same age as my daughter, so I can't help but give you a few more words of advice."
Shen Zhi Qiu then raised her head, trying her best to suppress her emotions but still managing to choke up a little: "Thank you, Dr. Jiang. It's not that I think you're being long-winded. It's rare to find someone who can see things from my perspective. I was thinking, if my mother were still here, she would definitely remind me of these things just like you have."
Dr. Jiang was stunned. She hadn't expected this. As a mother herself, she was quite moved. She got up and poured Shen Zhi Qiu a glass of warm water, handing it to her: "No matter what, you must love yourself more. In all my years as a doctor, I hope that every mother chooses to have children because she loves them. I hope you are too."
"Yes, I can't bear to part with my two children. Although they are still very young, I don't know why, but I feel very lucky to have them." Shen Zhi Qiu took a tissue from the table to wipe her tears, and when she slowly raised her head, she had already regained her proper smile.
"That's good." Dr. Jiang patted Shen Zhi Qiu's shoulder, sat back down, and handed her the completed examination form.
After thanking Dr. Jiang, Shen Zhi Qiu took the form and prepared to queue at the entrance of the ultrasound room.
"Hey, look, isn't that Shen Zhi Qiu?" Not far away, at the entrance of the orthopedic clinic, a girl nudged Xiao Wan Qing, who was playing on her phone, with her elbow and gestured towards Shen Zhi Qiu.
Xiao Wanqing looked up in confusion and immediately recognized Shen Zhi Qiu, who had just argued with her. She would recognize her even if she were ashes, let alone the gray tracksuit she was wearing before leaving the house.
When Xiao Wanqing saw her coming downstairs today, she was a little surprised because Shen Zhi Qiu was always dressed in a ladylike outfit when she saw her before, but today she was dressed in sportswear for the first time.
"Wanqing, it seems that Shen Zhiqiu came from the obstetrics and gynecology department."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanqing immediately stood up from the bench. She tried to make out the sign at the entrance, and it did indeed say "Obstetrics and Gynecology Department." Her face turned pale instantly.
"Luo Luo, could it be that Shen Zhi Qiu is pregnant?" Xiao Wan Qing's lips trembled slightly.
Luo Luo, who was standing to the side, glanced at her with some concern: "Do you think Gu Qingyan might choose not to divorce her because Shen Zhi Qiu is pregnant?"
"No way!" Xiao Wanqing's expression suddenly turned ferocious. "Qingyan will absolutely not stay in the marriage just because she's pregnant! They were arguing about getting a divorce at noon today. Judging from their conversation, Shen Zhi Qiu probably hasn't told Qingyan about the child yet."
"That's good. Wanqing needs to hurry, otherwise things might get complicated."
Luo Luo's words gave her a wake-up call. Xiao Wanqing told Luo Luo to go look at her arm first. She looked in the direction of Shen Zhi Qiu from the doorway, rested her chin on her hand, thought for a moment, and immediately had an idea.
When Luo Luo came out, Xiao Wanqing smiled smugly and said, "Luo Luo, I already have a plan."
Upon receiving the report, which showed that her child was perfectly healthy, Shen Zhi Qiu's anxiety subsided. She carefully folded the report and put it into her handbag.
She felt a little low blood sugar, so she went straight to the hospital's vending machine and bought a bread to fill her stomach. She sat on a bench next to it and ate it slowly with warm water.
Xiao Wanqing seized the opportunity and pulled Luo Luo along, pretending to bump into Shen Zhi Qiu.
"Zhiqiu, what are you doing here? Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Wanqing pretended not to know anything, wanting to see what Shen Zhiqiu would say.
"Miss Xiao is really persistent. I came to the hospital to visit a friend who is hospitalized, and I didn't expect to run into you." Hearing the annoying voice, Shen Zhi Qiu pouted and continued eating her bread, not wanting to pay any attention to her.
"What a coincidence! But it's not surprising, since this is the best hospital in Nancheng. It's normal to run into each other here." Xiao Wanqing's face flashed with a hint of ruthlessness when she saw that the other woman didn't take her seriously at all.
“Yes, Wanqing, it’s because the medical equipment here is the best and most advanced that President Gu asked you to come here.” Luo Luo started performing from the side.
