A lonely, unlucky military officer with a stubborn fate insisted on marrying me.

Lin Yinyin, supporting her protruding belly, slowly walked into the hospital.

Before she knew it, Li Jinye had been gone for two and a half months, and she was three and a half months pregnant. Her belly was protruding noticeably, like an inverted hemisphere.

Originally, her older sister was supposed to accompany her to the prenatal checkup, but her sister's divorce proceedings didn't go smoothly just before she left, so her sister went to stay with her instead. Anyway, she was at a military hospital, so she felt more at ease knowing she was alone.

Lin Yinyin walked to the registration window and said, "Hello, I'd like to register for the obstetrics department."

The nurse behind the window asked routinely, "Please show me your marriage certificate."

Having learned from the previous incident, Lin Yinyin brought very complete documentation this time.

She arrived at the clinic very quickly.

The doctor who examined her was a young woman, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a name tag on her chest that read Hao Weiwei. She looked up at Lin Yinyin, then glanced down at the name on the medical record, and her hand holding the pen suddenly stopped.

— Lin Huiyin?

This name, like a needle, pierced her heart.

She had been in love with Li Jinye since childhood, and for him, she specially transferred from Beijing to this hospital in Hebei Province. She also remained unmarried for many years because of him. Only yesterday, when Li's mother called, did she learn that Li Jinye had actually gotten married!

She was completely stunned. She couldn't believe that the person she cherished so much had quietly gotten married.

Hao Weiwei suppressed the turmoil in her heart and tried her best to make her tone sound calm: "Comrade, where do you feel unwell?"

"I don't feel unwell at all. I'm just here for a prenatal checkup. I'm about three months pregnant," Lin Yinyin answered truthfully. She opened her coat, revealing her slightly protruding belly.

Hao Weiwei's breathing quickened, and she looked at the "husband" column on the form again. When she saw the three words "Li Jinye", her fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

"Dr. Hao, are you alright?" Lin Yinyin asked.

"It's nothing, just a little low blood sugar. I'll get you a lab order first, go get your blood drawn!"

After Lin Yinyin left, Hao Weiwei could no longer sit still and rushed out of the consultation room.

She was going to find Tian Ya, her college classmate and one of her few good friends here.

In the nurses' office, Tian Ya was lost in thought.

Hao Weiwei's voice was still trembling when she arrived, "Ya Ya!"

"Weiwei, why is your face so pale?"

Hao Weiwei's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with tears: "Tian Ya... I... I ran into Li Jinye's wife!"

Tian Ya immediately understood, but put on an indignant expression: "What? It's that wild woman who suddenly appeared?"

"Li Jinye is going too far! You waited for him for so many years, even transferring jobs here, and he just decides to get married like that!"

"Weiwei, don't be sad. You're so great, you'll definitely be able to win him over."

"By the way, what's she doing in the maternity ward? Is she asserting her dominance?"

"No. She's pregnant! Her belly is showing."

"What?"

Tian Ya's eyes darted around, as if she had suddenly thought of something, and she feigned surprise, saying, "Pregnant? That's impossible, isn't it? I heard before that they've only been married for two months."

"That's right!" Hao Weiwei was suddenly stunned!

She was so shocked, "I think she's more than five months pregnant!"

"Huh? If she's really five months pregnant, wouldn't that mean it's Li Jinye's child?"

"This is outrageous! Isn't a rural woman cheating on Commander Li?"

Hao Weiwei's heart skipped a beat. If that were the case, could they get a divorce?

Tian Ya was still standing there, indignant, saying, "Weiwei, we absolutely cannot let a woman like that get away with this!"

"Huh? What... you're not letting me go?"

"Of course, we must protect Commander Li's reputation and eliminate him!"

"What!" Hao Weiwei exclaimed in surprise.

"What are you afraid of?"

Tian Ya lowered her voice, her tone seductive, "Weiwei, Li Jinye is the youngest regimental commander in the country, with a bright future! Can we just stand by and watch him be ruined by a fickle woman?"

Her words were righteous and awe-inspiring: "It's not easy for the country to train a regimental commander!"

We must protect our heroes! We're doing this for the army, for Commander Li, and for Mother Li—it's a righteous act!" Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Tian Ya pulled Hao Weiwei away.

As she turned around, Tian Ya's lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes surging with vicious hatred.

Li Jinye! I'll teach you to slaughter my Tianjia Village!

A week ago, she received a message that her parents and younger brother had been killed, and even the entire Tianjia Village had been massacred!

Yes, they were massacred!

A soldier who considered himself righteous actually killed all the Japanese people in the village!

All they did was bring some resources back to their country. All they did was arrest a few people to conduct experiments on.

With so many people and so many resources in China, can't we have a little more compassion and give some of it to them?!

It's all rotten stuff!

Selfish and self-serving Chinese people!

You ruined everything for me! She will make his woman and his bastard child suffer a terrible death!

The two returned to the examination room one after the other. Lin Yinyin was sitting in a chair reviewing the test results. Seeing them come in, she looked up and gave a slight smile: "Doctor, are there any further tests needed?"

Hao Weiwei composed herself and forced a calm demeanor, saying, "Okay, lie down on the examination bed first, I'll check the baby's position. This is Head Nurse Tian from the obstetrics department, she's very experienced, she'll take a look with me."

Lin Yinyin lay down as instructed. Just as she relaxed, she saw Tian Ya narrow her eyes and reach out to touch her stomach.

"Wait!" Lin Yinyin immediately raised her hand to stop her. "I think we should let the doctor examine you."

Tian Ya forced a smile, her tone tinged with arrogance: "Comrade, I've worked in obstetrics for so many years, I know more than most doctors! The shape of your belly looks off, let me feel it for you!"

Lin Yinyin turned her head to look at the somewhat nervous Dr. Hao, her heart filled with doubt. "Excuse me, Nurse Tian, ​​I still trust doctors more. Dr. Hao, aren't you the doctor? Why don't you do it?"

"Okay."

Hao Weiwei took a deep breath, her fingers landing on her abdomen, the words "for Li Jinye" and "for the sake of justice" echoing in her ears. But touching her swollen belly, thinking of the vibrant life inside, her heart felt like it was being torn apart.

Lin Yinyin keenly sensed the tremor in Hao Weiwei's fingertips as she touched her stomach.

Although her trembling was slight, it carried an undeniable tension and hesitation. Lin Yinyin stared intently at Dr. Hao, ready to attack.

"I can't do it." Hao Weiwei made up her mind! She abruptly withdrew her hand.

Tian Ya, watching from the side, was anxious and frowned.

Seeing Ueda Masashi's disapproving look, Hao Weiwei picked up the lab report on the table as if possessed and said, "Your blood sugar level is too high. Considering the size of your belly, I don't recommend you go."

"Let me see!" Tian Ya immediately pretended to look at the numbers on the test report. "It really is! I take care of so many children every year and have seen countless reports, and I also suspect that yours is a Down syndrome baby! Comrade Lin, you should have an abortion!"

Lin Yinyin sat up abruptly. "A baby with Down syndrome?"

Hao Weiwei looked at her friend's gaze again, clenched her fist, and said, "Your fetus's various indicators are high, there's a 90% chance it's a deformed baby. I suggest... you terminate the pregnancy."

Taking the opportunity, Tian Ya handed a form to Hao Weiwei. "Dr. Hao, don't hesitate, write up the form!"

"We need to act quickly regarding Comrade Lin's situation! The baby is already three months along; if we delay any longer, a medical abortion will cause even more damage to her body and might even affect her future fertility!"

Hao Weiwei's palms were sweating. Looking at Lin Yinyin's expression, she gritted her teeth again.

For her own happiness, she'll be selfish just this once!

I took the form and started writing the doctor's opinion.

"I recommend an abortion."
