Nuan Nuan's thoughts swirled like a vortex, her mind struggling to process the sudden revelation.
Pregnant?
How?
When?
Her gaze remained fixed on the baby pictures, as if searching for answers.
Si Kong's gentle squeeze on her hand brought her back to reality.
"Nuan Nuan, please talk to me," he urged, his voice laced with worry.
Nuan Nuan's lips parted, but no words emerged.
She felt like she was drowning in a sea of uncertainty.
Si Kong's face, etched with concern, filled her vision.
She tried to speak, but her voice caught in her throat.
The doctor entered, breaking the silence.
"Miss Nuan, how are you feeling?"
Nuan Nuan's eyes shifted to the doctor, her expression still frozen.
Si Kong answered for her.
"She hasn't spoken since waking up."
The doctor nodded sympathetically.
"We'll run some tests to ensure everything is okay."
Nuan Nuan's hand remained on her belly, her mind racing with questions.
Was she ready for this?
Nuan Nuan's mind recoiled in horror. "Am I really going to carry a wicked man's baby?"
She suddenly screamed, her voice piercing the sterile hospital air. "Doctor, I want an abortion!"
Si Kong's face froze, his eyes wide with shock. "Nuan Nuan, are you sure you want an abortion?" he asked, his voice trembling.
Nuan Nuan didn't reply. She just stared ahead, her gaze vacant, her thoughts reeling.
The doctor broke the uncomfortable silence. "I'll prepare for the process. I just need you to sign some papers."
A few minutes later, a nurse entered with the documents. Nuan Nuan signed them mechanically, her movements robotic.
After signing, the doctor returned. "Mister, you'll have to excuse us."
Si Kong stepped out, his face etched with concern.
Nuan Nuan lay on the bed, her hand instinctively cradling her tummy. Suddenly, she jolted up, her eyes flashing with determination.
"I want to keep my baby!" she yelled.
Si Kong, who had been pacing outside, heard her scream and dashed back into the room.
His face lit up with hope and relief. "Nuan Nuan?"
