Gu Xiaobei's heart twisted at the doctor's words, her voice quivering with a sob, "What do you mean by a monster?"
With a sympathetic face, the doctor explained, "Look, your baby has three arms, three legs, but only one head. If that isn't a monster, then what is it?"
Gu Xiaobei sat up, looking at the shadowy mass on the ultrasound screen, and sobbed uncontrollably.
Outside, Lu Zhanguo heard Xiaobei's wailing and hurriedly ran in. He saw Xiaobei sitting on the bed, her pants not properly pulled up, gasping for breath through her tears, "What's going on?"
Unable to speak, Xiaobei pointed at the ultrasound screen for Lu Zhanguo to see.
The doctor turned to Lu Zhanguo and explained, "The B-ultrasound shows that there is a problem with your baby. Extra arms and legs. I recommend that you don't keep the baby. You're young, you can always have another..."
