This simple sentence delivered in a levelled manner caused Song Qingchun to quiet down immediately.
"Tingting, do you know how much I hated myself when I found out about your pregnancy? I resent myself for acting so rashly, resent myself for not reminding you to take the morning-after pills. The torment that you're facing is because of me. I've already caused you so much torment, so I cannot allow this torture to continue on any further.
"If we take away this child now, you'll be pained and saddened, but it'll pass. Time will heal, but if we give birth to a troubled child, it'll be a lifelong burden on you.
"Tingting, I admit my love for this child is definitely less than the amount you have for it because, for me, you're far more important than the child. If I have to make a choice, I will not hesitate to choose you and give the child up.
