I am a dragon

"You want an abortion?"

I was taken aback. "Are you crazy?"

Ning Meng's voice was low and pleading: "Lu Feng, I beg you, please help me just this once, just this once."

I think Ning Meng must be crazy.

She destroyed Lin Fang's family and deceived me. If she hadn't mistaken me for Lin Fang at home that time, I would still be foolishly kept in the dark.

Now, when she goes to the hospital for an abortion, she actually asks me to accompany her. Only someone with a stroke twenty years ago could come up with such an idea.

I'm a soft-hearted person, but remembering how Ning Meng deceived and used me, I hardened my heart: "Ning Meng, this child has nothing to do with me, I can't help you with this."

Ning Meng panicked: "Lu Feng, I know it was my fault, I shouldn't have taken advantage of you, but I really have no other choice. No one can sign the consent form, and the hospital won't perform the surgery."

"If only I had known this would happen!"

"Lu Feng, please, I really have no other choice."

Ning Meng seemed to be on the verge of collapse, sobbing uncontrollably. I could hear other people's voices coming from the other end of the phone.

"This is a hospital, please calm down."

Holding my phone, I finally softened. We've known each other for a while, and I couldn't just stand by and watch her die, especially since the child in her belly was Lin Fang's.

Lin Fang isn't here, so it's reasonable for me to help out, right?

"Stop crying, where are you?"

Hearing me relent, Ning Meng stopped crying and sobbed, "The First Hospital."

I know the First Hospital. The man I rescued on the riverbank went to this hospital, and the emergency room doctor there even lent me a piece of clothing.

I still haven't returned this garment.

With that in mind, I went home first.

Jiang Ruxue was a little surprised to see me return: "Aren't you going to work today?"

"Okay, I'm going to the hospital," I blurted out, then immediately shut up.

I'm not sure if Jiang Ruxue knows about Ning Meng and Lin Fang's relationship, so naturally I can't let her know about Ning Meng's abortion.

Jiang Ruxue was still a little weak. When she heard that I was going to the hospital, she asked me, "Is your wound serious?"

"No, I'm going to the hospital to return the clothes you borrowed last time."

This reason is irrefutable.

Jiang Ruxue had no doubts and said, "Then go ahead, and buy me some cold medicine when you come back. I think I've caught a cold."

She sneezed as she spoke.

I agreed, grabbed the clothes, went out, hailed a taxi, and headed to the First Hospital.

At the hospital, I met Ning Meng. Ning Meng looked terrible and had no energy. But when she saw me, her eyes lit up.

"Thank you."

I said irritably, "You're welcome. I did it for my cousin."

Ning Meng wiped away her tears, and her eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, shone with joy as she said, "No matter what, I thank you."

I've never had a girlfriend, so I've never experienced anything like this before. I had absolutely no idea what to do next, and I felt like everyone was laughing at me.

I avoided other people's gazes, took a deep breath, and calmed myself down.

"Have you thought this through? My cousin has never had children. If you abort the baby, how will you explain it to him?"

Ning Meng said plaintively, "Lin Fang played me for a fool, and now he's disappeared. I can barely support myself, how can I raise a child?"

I have no argument. Perhaps Ning Meng was after Lin Fang's money, but she certainly didn't expect that Lin Fang would eventually run away with the money and disappear without a trace.

But if Ning Meng was the one who lied to Lin Fang at the Night Bar, then she deserved what she got.

No, she must be punished by law.

But I quickly dismissed my own idea.

If Ning Meng really is a swindler who cheated my cousin out of so much money, she should be able to escape much faster than my cousin by now.

How could she possibly stay in Miancheng and then ask me to accompany her to get an abortion? Isn't that just crazy?

Ning Meng hung her head and said, "Since you're here, why don't you come with me to see the doctor?"

I took a deep breath and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"Um."

Ning Meng lowered her head and walked forward. When she reached the doctor's office, she pushed the door open forcefully.

I followed her inside.

The doctor clearly mistook me for the scumbag who got Ningmeng pregnant. He glared at me and said, "You really don't plan to keep this child?"

"Um."

Ning Meng lowered her head and responded to the doctor in a low voice.

The doctor seemed determined not to let me off the hook, looking up at me and asking, "And you?"

What does this have to do with me!

I explained, "Doctor, it's not what you think..."

The doctor interrupted me, saying, "You don't need to explain to me. Since you've already decided, just sign the papers, and I'll perform the D&C later."

Upon hearing the words "D&C," Ning Meng's face turned deathly pale, and she seemed about to collapse, grabbing my arm.

My instinct was to shake her off, but seeing how scared she looked, I had no choice but to let her support me.

I mentally pleaded with myself, "I did this entirely for Lin Fang."

I gritted my teeth, took the pen, signed the informed consent form, and accompanied Ning Meng to a room next door.

Actually, a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure isn't really a surgery, but it requires taking off your pants, which makes it inappropriate for me to be here.

The doctor noticed I was about to leave, rolled his eyes at me, and said, "Why are you being so embarrassed now? Where were you before?"

My face turned red instantly. I pinched my thigh. It had nothing to do with me. Why am I blushing?

Fortunately, Ning Meng spoke up: "Lu Feng, you can go out now. I can manage on my own."

The doctor reminded her, "A D&C is very painful. With him here, you can scold him to distract yourself. If he leaves, it won't be as effective."

I looked at the doctor helplessly, thinking to myself, "I really thank you for your ancestors eight generations back."

However, I eventually got out.

Standing at the door, hearing Ning Meng scream in pain from inside, I still felt nervous and paced around the doorway.

Just then, a man with clear, innocent eyes, a youthful face, and about my age walked quickly toward me.

I recognized him as a college student at a glance.

If I hadn't gone to prison, with my grades, I would definitely be a college student now, no, I would be taking the postgraduate entrance exam now.

I was just starting to reflect when, to my surprise, the other person walked up to me with a stern face, and without saying a word, raised their fist and punched me in the face.

I dodged to the side, but the other person wouldn't let it go, chasing after me with their fists.

I got angry, grabbed his fist, and yelled, "Are you crazy? Do I even know you? If you punch me again, don't blame me for calling the police."

The man was agitated and glared at me fiercely. If looks could kill, I believe I would have been torn to pieces by him.

"Did you come with Ning Meng?"

"Do you know Ning Meng?"

"That's it then, I'll beat you to death!"

The man roared, and the force he unleashed was astonishing. He shoved me heavily against the wall behind me, and at the same time, he kicked me in the stomach.
