Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.
….
Mary’s hands and feet were sweating coldly, and her gaze fixed on the diagnostic room in front of her.
Keira didn’t comfort her, just gave her enough space.
“Number 13, Mary Davis. Has Mary Davis arrived?”
The nurse suddenly called out her name, startling Mary, who jumped to her feet. “I’m here!”
Mary followed the nurse and looked back at Keira.
Keira gave her an encouraging look. “Go on!”
Mary swallowed hard and followed the nurse into the room.
After a series of tests and examinations, it was confirmed that Mary was pregnant. The doctor asked, “Are you sure you don’t want it?”
Mary clenched her jaw and tightened her fingers, and after a moment, she nodded.
The doctor said, “I really can’t understand you young people. These days, many people can’t even have children… Are you sure you don’t want it? Well, I’ll write you an order for a CT scan. Once you’ve been scanned, the child will be exposed to radiation, and you can’t keep it.”
Mary nodded again.
The doctor wrote up the paperwork, scheduled the surgery, and then let Mary out.
Keira immediately stayed by her side. “What’s next?”
The two followed the nurse to the CT room, handed over the paperwork, and waited to be called.
Most people here were there for an abortion.
Most of them were couples, some were with friends, and there was even a girl brought by her parents. She was sobbing, with both parents wearing masks, feeling ashamed.
Seeing this, Mary grasped Keira’s hand even tighter. “Keera, do I really not want this child?”
Seeing her scared like this, Keira sighed. “Mary, you already know the answer, don’t you?”
Mary was taken aback.
Keira looked at her. “Ever since we left the house, you’ve said many times that you don’t want an abortion, it’s just that you might not have noticed.”
Mary’s jaw tightened.
Keira looked at her. “Mary, I’m your friend, and it’s up to you to make the decision. Whatever choice you make, I’ll support you!”
Mary’s fingers tightened even more, just as someone came out of the CT room and called for her. “Mary Davis, is Mary here?”
Keira looked at her.
Mary stood there, hesitating.
“Is Mary Davis here?”
The nurse called out again. “If not, it’s the next person’s turn…”
That prompted Mary to blurt out suddenly, “I’m here!”
She stood up and strode toward the CT room.
She felt she had thought things through.
Ellis didn’t like her, and the child would have no father if it were born. It would even tie her down, not to mention that her uncle also wanted to use her for an arranged marriage…
She strode into the CT room.
The nurse pointed to two isolation bags and said, “When the door is closed and the machine turns on, the radiation will hit the child, so put on this vest to protect your chest and back.”
Mary looked at the vest, asking, “Is this to prevent other organs from being exposed to radiation?”
“That’s right.”
The nurse said, “You shouldn’t have this kind of CT scan more than twice a year. You can’t keep a fetus that’s been scanne. Alright, don’t waste time. Put it on and lie down!”
Yet Mary’s hand rested on her lower abdomen as she reached out to pick up the isolation vest…
Keira was waiting outside.
She really didn’t know what Mary would choose, but whatever the choice, she expressed her understanding. With Mary’s complicated family situation, if she were to become pregnant before marriage, it would be fine if Ellis took responsibility, but if he didn’t, she would become the laughingstock of Clance. At that time, she might have to leave Clance to give herself and her child a better life. Not having the child would be the best for her personally. Of course, Keira was strong-willed and didn’t care about what others said, so if this situation fell on her, she would simply rely on her own feelings to decide whether to keep it or not. But not everyone was her.
Keira didn’t dwell on it any further; instead, she was reminded of Keera’s diary at home. Last night, Lewis was causing a fuss, and she hadn’t yet seen the contents of that diary; she had no idea what it might contain. She definitely couldn’t mess around tonight; serious matters called for serious attention.
As she was thinking, the door of the CT room opened, and Mary walked out with red eyes.
Keira immediately went up to her. “Did you finish the CT that quickly?”
But Mary shook her head. “Keera, I’ve decided to keep the baby.”
Keira was taken aback. Even though she had anticipated it, when Mary actually made that decision, she couldn’t help but silently sigh for her.
She nodded. “Okay, then I’ll be the child’s godmother.”
Mary nodded, and then she said, somewhat anxiously, “Keeping the baby will be a bit troublesome. First of all, I still don’t know how to tell my parents…”
Mary walked out with determination, continuing to discuss what needed to be done to keep the baby. “Should I just find some man to pretend to be my boyfriend? Actually, it might also help me avoid being used by my uncle for blind dates… and prevent me from having to seduce that Lewis.”
Keira didn’t know what to say. She paused for a moment, then suddenly said, “Have you considered telling the baby’s father?”
Mary was slightly startled. She then looked down. When she discovered she was pregnant, her first reaction was to call Ellis. After all, Ellis was the baby’s dad and had the right to know. But as she picked up the phone, she ultimately chose to put it down because she didn’t know how Ellis would react after hearing the news. She liked Ellis. She understood that Ellis was a responsible man, which was why she didn’t want to use the child to tie him down.
As she wavered, Keira suddenly said, “Sometimes misunderstandings are a result of us being presumptuous. If you don’t speak up about certain things, how would you know what he’s thinking?”
Mary was startled. Keira went on. “Is there a possibility that Ellis might just have feelings for you too?”
Mary’s fingers tightened slightly. While they were talking, a familiar voice suddenly rang out. “Mary? What are you doing here?!”
Both turned their heads to see Ellis striding toward them with his assistant. There was an urgency on his face that he himself hadn’t noticed; his gaze swept behind her. “Are you not feeling well? Or is there something else? Do you need me to find a specialist for you?”
Mary paused slightly. She suddenly looked at Keira. Keira gave her an encouraging nod. Seeing this, Mary felt as if she had found her backbone. Yes, how could she possibly know the truth without asking? She suddenly turned to Ellis and stated, “I’m not sick; I’m pregnant.”
