"Even though I'm guilty, the baby in my stomach isn't. You have no right to imprison me!"
"Lai Meiling, I don't think you understand how the law works. We have no rule against pregnant women not being sentenced in our country. Even if you're pregnant, you'll still receive a sentence. At most, the workload you'll need to take on during your sentence will be lightened a little, but you'll still have to make it up after you give birth.
"If you've committed a capital crime, the court can give you a suspended death sentence because you are pregnant. Do you know what a suspended death sentence is? It just delays things. After you give birth to the child in your belly, you'll be executed immediately. Forget using pregnancy as an excuse. It won't change anything."
Lai Meiling shook her head, her face full of disbelief.
"So, tell me. Why did you try to kill my daughter?"
