After leaving the hospital, Martin Weiss said, âAre you still determined to have this baby?â
âYes. If it comes to the point where I canât take it, I can only blame my and the babyâs fate. It just means Iâm not fated to be the babyâs mother,â she said.
âBut do you think your liver will be unaffected if it does come to that? You donât know how bad the damage will be!â he said.
âIâm mentally prepared for that,â said Kyla as she looked down at her belly. âIâll fight for this baby!â
However, he could not do it!
âDonât you know how to cherish yourself?â he asked.
Kyla said, âI will cherish myself, and I know what I want. You heard what the doctor said today. Itâs not totally impossible to keep the baby. Though the risk for the mother is high, Iâll be fine for the first seven months. And when the baby is seven months old, the chances of survival are very high. Medical technology is now advanced, unlike before.â
Martin Weiss was silent. His thin lips were almost pressed into a straight line. âIn other words, thereâs no way youâre going to terminate your pregnancy.â
âYes.â She gave him an affirmative answer.
Martin Weiss said nothing more and got into the car with Kyla.
He drove his car away from the hospital. Perhaps Kyla was a little exhausted. She could not help taking a nap as soon as she got into the car.
Martin Weiss glanced at the sleeping Kyla out the corners of his eyes, and his eyes glimmered a littleâ¦
Kyla had no idea how long she slept for but she found that the car was still driving on the road when she suddenly opened her eyes.
Kyla rubbed her eyes. âHow long have I been sleepingâ¦â However, before she could finish speaking, she found that the road in front of her was unfamiliar. It was not the way to the store.
âMartin Weiss, where are you taking me?â asked Kyla.
However, he only said, âWeâll be there soon.â
Kyla frowned. Then, she saw a private hospital slowly coming into view.
His car stopped at the private hospitalâs entrance. Several doctors in white coats and men in suits came over. âMr. Weiss, everythingâs ready.â
Martin Weiss said to Kyla, âOkay. Come on, Weâll do some tests here.â
Kyla somehow felt an intense uneasiness, especially when Martin Weissâs face was so icy. When he was speaking just now, he had deliberately avoided her eyes, making the unease in her heart grow stronger.
Kyla said, âIâve done all the necessary tests at Municipal Womenâs Hospital. Thereâs nothing else to do.
Martin Weiss, I want to go home!â
However, he insisted and said, âYou must do the tests!â
âItâs unnecessary. If youâre not going to take me home, then I can go home myself,â she said and turned to leave.
He suddenly grabbed her arm. âKyla, you must do the tests!â
She felt a sudden sense of horror. Then, she stared at him in disbelief as if realizing something. âAre you⦠Are you going to abort the baby?â
Embarrassment flashed across Martin Weissâs face, but he did not deny it. âYes, the existence of this child will only wear you down and threaten your health. The baby is like a time bomb buried in your body. I canât allow this bomb to continue existing.â
