s.h.i.+ Enxi opened her eyes, only to find herself inside a hospital room. She could already tell that since the smell of disinfectant was in the air.
She was feeling a bit better for some reason. Was it because of the medicine that was given to her through the IV drips or was it because she has taken some rest?
Her stomach growled and she squirmed in her bed to try to silence the rumbling. She glanced at the clock; there were only two more minutes until lunch.
She heard the door creak and she saw Lu Weichun, holding a lunchbox.
She walked towards her, placing the lunchbox on the bed table. She helped s.h.i.+ Enxi in getting up, she even placed a pillow on her back to make her comfortable. "No wonder people bring flowers in the hospital since every room is so dull."
s.h.i.+ Enxi couldn"t argue with that, especially when she thought the same.
"You really should take care of your body, sister-in-law. No matter how workaholic you are, you should always think of your health especially when you"re pregnant."
"Huh?"
Pregnant?
Lu Weichun thought that s.h.i.+ Enxi knew that she was pregnant that was why she gave her a good scolding but when she saw her surprised face, she realized that... s.h.i.+ Enxi didn"t have an idea about it...
"I"m pregnant?" How could that be? She was in birth control pills!
"You didn"t know?"
Just then, the doctor, followed by a nurse, entered the room.
"Oh good, the patient is finally awake."
s.h.i.+ Enxi turned to the doctor, her face pale. "Is it true? I am pregnant?"
The doctor smiled, "Yes, you are. You are almost two weeks pregnant ma"am. Congratulations."
Two... weeks?
"How is that possible? I"m taking birth control pills."
Lu Weichun furrowed her brows. Just by looking at s.h.i.+ Enxi"s reaction, she could tell that... She was not happy about being pregnant.
"Although birth control pills have a high success rate, they can fail and you can get pregnant while on the pill. Birth control pills are 99 percent effective with "perfect use," which means taking the pill at the same time every day without missing a dose. The birth control pill is very effective if a person takes it correctly and does not miss any pill days. Many women accidentally miss a dose or forget to start a new pack of pills. When that happens, the chances for an accidental pregnancy go up." The doctor explained.
It has been months already and every time she spent her weekends with Lu Mello. She had been taking pills every week but not only daily basis. If she knew that something like this would happen, she would have made him wear condoms instead!
s.h.i.+ Enxi clenched her fists right, her face was drained of life.
She can"t be pregnant, she was not ready for it. She didn"t want to become a mother. She didn"t want to have a child yet.
The doctor noticed the look on s.h.i.+ Enxi"s face. He was actually used in seeing the same looks and they were all coming from mothers that weren"t ready to have kids. They mostly chose to abort the baby in their stomach.
"Since it is just two weeks of pregnancy, there is still no embryo but your body is already preparing for it. If you come back next week, having an abortion will be-"
"Abortion?!" Lu Weichun gasped out loud. She turned to s.h.i.+ Enxi with a glare.
From the way s.h.i.+ Enxi looked, she could tell that she was planning on one. "Don"t you dare have an abortion without telling my brother, Enxi!"
s.h.i.+ Enxi calmly turned to the doctor, "I will think about it."
The doctor was staring at Lu Weichun then to s.h.i.+ Enxi. Just by hearing what Lu Weichun said, he could tell that they were about to argue about keeping the baby.
"I"ll check on you later." The doctor excused himself and left the two women in the room.
"What do you mean by you will think about it? Are you crazy?"
"I don"t want the baby." s.h.i.+ Enxi said with a blank look on her face. But despite that, she felt a pang on her chest when she said that.
"You heartless b.i.t.c.h! That"s my brother"s baby! I am that baby"s Auntie so you can"t just say that."
"I want to be alone right now. Can you leave the room?"
Lu Weichun clenched her fists right when she saw how s.h.i.+ Enxi was void of emotions. The anger burning within her was driving her crazy!
"s.h.i.+ Enxi, before you make a decision, please give it a careful thought... Also, think about my brother. If you are not going to tell Gege about it, I will be forced to say it to him."
With that, Lu Weichun decided to leave the room to give s.h.i.+ Enxi some time to think about it.
The room became quiet after Lu Weichun left. s.h.i.+ Enxi placed her hand on her tummy, "I don"t want to have you..."
Her stomach grumbled and her eyes landed on the lunch box that Lu Weichun brought for her. She was starving, she wanted to eat but thinking of her pregnancy was making her appet.i.te disappear.
Tears formed in the side of her eyes as she clenched on her s.h.i.+rt.
"I"m sorry... I"m sorry... I"m sorry..."
If Lu Mello learned that she was pregnant, she was sure that he would want to keep the baby. He would never even agree on her decision on aborting it.
Her lips quivered as tears continued to flow down her cheeks like a broken dam. "I don"t want you... I can"t have you... I"m sorry... I"m sorry..."
Because of her carelessness, she became pregnant. She shouldn"t have trusted the pills only, she should have become so careful. What should she say to Lu Mello?
What if... She had the abortion today? He will never learn about it, right?
What about Lu Weichun? She was going to tell Lu Mello if s.h.i.+ Enxi was didn"t.
Her sobs filled the room, her body trembled and the more she cried, the heavier her body felt, especially her chest. She felt as if a knife was stabbing her chest.
"I don"t want you... I don"t want you..." She kept on telling herself, more like, she was chanting it, as if she was trying to convince herself that she didn"t want Lu Mello"s baby at all.
