Chapter 975: Go in and it's all over

“Are you really not planning to keep the child?”

Baili Xia abruptly looked up, staring blankly at Dongfang Jin.

She had truly made up her mind just now, but his question made her hesitate.

“Think it over carefully; maybe in a few days…” His hesitation was no less than hers.

“I don’t have time, the competition of the Eight Big Families is coming up soon, this is the second competition.”

“You’re still thinking about that messy competition, why do you care about that?” After saying this, he realized his tone was too harsh.

Dongfang Jin immediately softened his voice, coaxing her as if soothing a child.

“Don’t worry about them, those competitions have nothing to do with you; let’s not worry about them anymore.”

“But I promised them I would try my best…” Baili Xia bit her lip.

Seeing his gaze become stern, she did not continue.

However, things promised must be strived for.

In the competition, even if one cannot win, one must not give up easily.

“Then tell me, what do you want to do now? You complain about not having enough time, but you can’t make up your mind.”

He led her back to the car, urging her to get in before he walked around to the driver’s seat.

He immediately drove the car away from this place, away from this small hospital whose name he couldn’t even recall.

Such a small hospital without even two official doctors, her choice to come here had really scared him.

Even after getting into the car, her frantic heartbeat had not fully settled down.

The car drove on the road, surrounded by the hustle and bustle, very lively.

But in their car, the atmosphere became increasingly oppressive.

“Do you want me to take you to the beach for a walk?” Maybe her mood would improve by the sea.

But this time, Baili Xia shook her head and turned to look at him.

“I can’t keep this child, you said that whatever decision I make, you would support me.”

Her fingers gripped her purse tighter, but her gaze grew more resolute: “I can’t keep it, and I can’t afford to, I have no way…”

“I know, I understand everything.” Dongfang Jin’s fingers on the steering wheel were also clenched tightly, the knuckles turning white.

He said he understood, but his heart was more tormented than hers.

He couldn’t bear to see her hurt; thinking about the pain she was about to endure, his heart ached to the point where his heartbeat nearly slowed.

Finally, after struggling for a while, he suddenly turned on the indicator light and switched to the left lane.

Then, making a U-turn, he sped off in a different direction.

This time, they entered a large hospital.

Baili Xia had not wanted to go in, but Dongfang Jin promised her that this incident would definitely not be known to relevant people.

This hospital was far enough from the Mu family and Imperial College.

Even if, by chance, someone familiar saw them, he knew how to keep the matter under wraps.

A large hospital was certainly safer than a small one.

He said this, and Baili Xia felt reassured.

Yet, as they approached the hospital, her steps involuntarily became unsteady.

Going in meant the child would be gone; once inside, everything would be over.

Whether it was pain or happiness, hope or despair, it would all end here.

“Let’s go.” Dongfang Jin supported her step by step as they walked in.

The obstetrics and gynecology department was on the eighth floor.

They exited the elevator on the eighth floor and were about to head to the registration office.

Suddenly, from the end of the corridor, there came a cry.

“I don’t want to, I don’t want the surgery, I don’t want to abort my baby, I don’t want to, I can’t go through with it.”
