After leaving the hospital, Ye Wenming said, "Are you still determined to have this baby?"
"Yes. If it comes to the point where I can't take it, I can only blame my and the baby's fate. It just means I’m not fated to be the baby's mother," she said.
"But do you think your liver will be unaffected if it does come to that? You don’t know how bad the damage will be!” he said.
"I'm mentally prepared for that," said Zhuo Qianyun as she looked down at her belly. "I’ll fight for this baby!"
However, he could not do it!
"Don't you know how to cherish yourself?" he asked.
Zhuo Qianyun said, "I will cherish myself, and I know what I want. You heard what the doctor said today. It's not totally impossible to keep the baby. Though the risk for the mother is high, I’ll 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."
Ye Wenming was silent. His thin lips were almost pressed into a straight line. "In other words, there's no way you're going to terminate your pregnancy."
"Yes." She gave him an affirmative answer.
Ye Wenming said nothing more and got into the car with Zhuo Qianyun.
He drove his car away from the hospital. Perhaps Zhuo Qianyun was a little exhausted. She could not help taking a nap as soon as she got into the car.
Ye Wenming glanced at the sleeping Zhuo Qianyun out the corners of his eyes, and his eyes glimmered a little...
Zhuo Qianyun 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.
Zhuo Qianyun said, "I've done all the necessary tests at Municipal Women's Hospital. There's nothing else to do. Ye Wenming, I want to go home!"
However, he insisted and said, "You must do the tests!"
"It's unnecessary. If you're not going to take me home, then I can go home myself," she said and turned to leave.
He suddenly grabbed her arm. "Qianyun, you must do the tests!"
She felt a sudden sense of horror. Then, she stared at him in disbelief as if realizing something. "Are you... Are you going to abort the baby?"
Embarrassment flashed across Ye Wenming's face, but he did not deny it. "Yes, 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 can't allow this bomb to continue existing."
