Wang Hao tried hard to suppress his excitement as he quietly followed behind Lin Wanyi.
He heard the doctor asking Lin Wanyi when she last had intercourse.
Then he heard Lin Wanyi repeatedly denying it:
"Doctor, I don't think I'm pregnant. The internal medicine department just told me to come here to get checked out. Let's just do a blood test."
The doctor looked at Lin Wanyi a bit strangely:
"You don't even know when you last had sex? Young people nowadays really are careless."
She wrote a slip for Lin Wanyi:
"No need for a blood test. A urine test will do."
Lin Wanyi held the slip, her brows tightly knitted.
Impossible, she kept telling herself. It was impossible.
She remembered very clearly that she hadn't slept with Wang Hao in a long time. How could she be pregnant?
But Wang Hao was beyond thrilled.
This was great. If she was pregnant, Lin Wanyi definitely wouldn't clamor for a divorce anymore.
She was a kind and traditional woman.
She would endure anything and do anything for the sake of her child.
When the time came, she definitely wouldn't divorce him. Instead, she would be even more devoted to him.
Absolutely!
Just like before, for the sake of Wang Keke, even though she had already gone back to her parents' house, she still came back with him.
Over the past few years, the Wang family had always used Wang Keke to tie her down.
Now, with another child on the way.
She would be even less likely to leave. It was a sure thing.
Wang Hao waited in the hallway, eagerly anticipating the good news.
But Lin Wanyi was on the verge of losing her mind.
She stared at the positive test result, completely baffled.
No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure out when she had slept with Wang Hao.
But there was a baby, undeniably so.
How on earth did this happen?
Li Suhua's heart also sank like a stone.
Lin Wanyi was pregnant again.
What should they do?
She spoke carefully:
"This child, are you..."
Lin Wanyi didn't hear her. She was entirely consumed by thoughts of when and how she had gotten pregnant.
Li Suhua thought her resolve to divorce had wavered.
She sighed.
With a baby in the picture, could they still go through with the divorce?
Could they?
Wang Hao, on the other hand, was overjoyed.
He ran back to Liu Dabing's hospital room:
"Mom, Mom, good news! Fantastic news!"
"Wanyi is pregnant, she's really pregnant!"
"Really?"
Liu Chunlan's eyes lit up:
"She's really pregnant? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I just heard the doctor say it with my own ears."
"Mom, let me tell you right now, Wanyi is carrying a child, so you need to treat her better from now on, understand?"
"Your precious grandson depends entirely on her."
Liu Chunlan was also thrilled to the core.
She immediately called Wang Kai:
"Heh, Lin Wanyi is pregnant. I'm finally going to have a real grandson soon."
"Wang Kai, tell Chen Qingxiu not to be so smug. Any woman can have a baby, and any woman can give me a grandson."
"Chen Qingxiu isn't the only one who can give birth."
Wang Kai didn't speak, but Liu Dabing shouted from the side:
"Wang Kai, come over here and pay my medical bills. Get over here right now."
"Where is the logic in a nephew breaking his uncle's nose? It's a joke to everyone who hears it."
"Wang Kai, if you don't come pay me within two days, I'll sue you in court. I swear I'll sue you!"
Wang Kai couldn't be bothered to listen to another word and hung up directly.
After thinking for a moment, he simply deleted and blocked the number.
There was no need for any further contact.
However, Chen Qingxiu felt a pang of unease.
She couldn't understand why, after things had gotten to this point, Lin Wanyi would still have a child for Wang Hao.
Why? Why?
Why on earth?
She really wanted to call and ask, but felt it would be too abrupt.
In the end, she didn't make the call.
Meanwhile, Lin Wanyi suddenly remembered what Wu Qin had asked her before.
She immediately sent a message to Wu Qin.
Less than a minute later, Wu Qin replied:
[I was just about to tell you. Yesterday, your father-in-law got drunk at the mahjong parlor. He said he got a certain drug for you.]
[The kind of drug that makes you completely black out and not remember anything.]
[He was even bragging everywhere that you would get pregnant with a grandson for him this month.]
[Wanyi, do you feel like something is wrong? Are you really pregnant?]
Lin Wanyi understood.
She understood everything now.
No wonder Wang Hao brought her water every day during that time.
So that was it.
He was like a weasel paying respects to a hen—he had ulterior motives all along.
Lin Wanyi was furious to the point of madness.
She wished she could just hack Wang Hao to death.
She didn't want this child, absolutely not.
She grabbed Li Suhua:
"Mom, I can't keep this baby. I don't want it."
"This isn't a child I wanted. It's Wang Hao... Wang Hao violated me to get this child."
"Mom, I won't keep this child."
After learning the truth, Li Suhua was also insanely furious.
She wanted to go confront Wang Hao right then and there.
But Lin Wanyi said:
"Mom, don't rush. Don't tell him yet."
"I'm going to abort the baby before I tell him, or maybe I won't need to tell him at all."
"Otherwise, he will never divorce me. Absolutely never."
"His family has always wanted a grandson. They absolutely cannot know about my pregnancy."
Li Suhua understood.
She held back her impulse:
"Then just get an abortion. The younger the fetus, the less harm it will do to your body."
"However..."
She thought for a moment, "An abortion is like a confinement period. If you have the surgery now, it won't be convenient for you to travel long distances later."
"Wanyi, do you want to wait until we get back home to have the surgery?"
She couldn't wait. Lin Wanyi didn't want to wait a single minute. She didn't want this child, conceived through Wang Hao's scheme, to stay in her womb for another day.
She immediately went to find the doctor:
"Doctor, please help me schedule an abortion."
"I want to get rid of this baby."
The doctor wasn't surprised:
"Have you thought this through?"
"Yes, I have."
Lin Wanyi nodded firmly.
"Alright then, I'll schedule you for tomorrow."
On the way back, Li Suhua cried continuously out of heartache:
"You have to suffer for nothing again. That damn Wang Hao. Once this is all over, I'm really going to have Jiajun beat him up good."
Lin Wanyi instructed Li Suhua:
"Don't tell Jiajun about this. He can't keep his temper in check."
"Wait until everything is settled between me and Wang Hao before telling him. I'm afraid of any unexpected complications."
Li Suhua understood.
But her heart ached terribly.
Surgery tomorrow, divorce in three days.
Her poor daughter.
She cried as she thought about it.
Thank goodness they had come. What would have happened if she and Jiajun hadn't been here?
How much more would her daughter have suffered?
How terribly she would have been bullied!
The two of them had just returned home, their minds heavy with worry, only to find Wang Hao there.
He was carrying bags of fruit and snacks, and even various health supplements.
Upon seeing Lin Wanyi, he offered the items to her like presenting a treasure:
"Honey, my mom specifically asked me to buy these for you. She said your health isn't good and wants you to nourish yourself."
"She also said her attitude towards you wasn't very good the past few days, and she promises it won't happen again."
Lin Wanyi knew he wouldn't be so attentive without a reason.
Her heart skipped a beat as she remembered seeing Wang Hao at the hospital earlier that day.
Could he have found out?
