How did I end up pregnant...
The atmosphere in the departnt was sowhat cold; when the doctor wasn’t speaking, everything seed very quiet.
The rain outside the window continued to fall, raindrops incessantly tapping on the glass.
Underneath the mask, Joan Harry’s face appeared increasingly pale, her figure exceptionally gaunt.
The doctor glanced at the form again, as if seeking her opinion, "Does Miss Harry want to keep this child? If you do, I suggest having a prenatal check-up."
"No, I don’t." Joan Harry’s voice trembled, almost without hesitation amid her alarm.
No, she definitely wouldn’t keep it.
She didn’t want her child to live as a shaful illegitimate child forever.
She and Jesse Rowan had no feelings for each other. This child, if born, would be an illegitimate child, and she, at most, would be Jesse Rowan’s mistress.
If she kept the baby, her life would be ruined.
The female doctor saw the fear in Joan Harry’s eyes and sighed inside, yet another woman caught in an unplanned pregnancy.
To the doctor, such occurrences were all too familiar.
She nodded, "But I still suggest you give it more thought, no rush to make a decision. The child is still very small now, deciding a few days later wouldn’t be too late. Your... boyfriend? Does he like children?"
"No, I won’t keep this child, even if I wait a few days, the decision will be the sa." Joan Harry had no hesitation, her emotions sowhat agitated.
"I am only offering advice from a dical standpoint; If you truly don’t want to keep it, I can arrange a surgical abortion or dication-induced abortion. You can think it over or call your family."
"I’ll make the decision myself, that’s fine." Joan Harry pressed her palms, pain radiating from where she squeezed.
Yet, there wasn’t much feeling in her heart.
On the way here, she had already thought of two possibilities.
If she wasn’t pregnant, she would be more careful in the future.
If she was pregnant, she would terminate the pregnancy.
"Alright then, since you are determined not to have the child, I’ll explain surgical abortion and dication-induced abortion for you, so you can make a choice. The child is still small now, and the abortion wouldn’t be difficult, mainly focus on resting and taking care of yourself afterwards."
"Will it harm my body?"
"If you take good care, it shouldn’t." The doctor replied honestly, "After having the abortion, make sure to rest in bed a lot, avoid sexual intercourse for two months. Of course, I will explain all these in detail later, here, take a look at this."
The doctor handed Joan Harry a booklet, which roughly introduced surgical and dication-induced abortion.
Joan Harry reached out, her pale fingers gripping the booklet, flipping through page by page.
Her fingers, uncontrollably trembling.
She had never experienced anything like this; the thought of a child... never even crossed her mind.
She never imagined that she would find herself in an obstetrics and gynecology clinic making such a decision, it felt absurd, also ridiculous.
The emotions surged in her eyes, impossible to suppress.
As she read, the doctor also explained the differences, advantages, and disadvantages of the two thods of abortion.
Lastly, the doctor sighed, "Actually, children are really adorable. Their journey from being born to learning to crawl, to speaking, and calling ’Mommy’, is a very fulfilling process."
Joan Harry’s hand paused.
She shook her head.
The doctor, seeing her determined not to keep the child, did not continue to persuade, as neglecting an unplanned pregnancy, when unprepared, was also a valid choice.
Joan Harry pointed at the booklet, her voice trembling, "dication-induced abortion."
