In her memory, she had indeed been celibate for a long time. Wendy gripped her hand, her expression slowly getting serious. "Do you want this child?" asked Wendy.
"No!" said Larissa without a moment's hesitation. There was no way she could birth this child that had come into her life out of the blue, and she didn't even know who its father was. There was no way she would allow her own tragedy to befall her child. She wasn't Yvette and couldn't bear to do such a cruel thing.
Wendy told the doctor Larissa's decision, and the smile on the doctor's face faded into a regretful expression. "I will schedule your surgery as soon as possible," she said, "But you need to undergo a comprehensive pre-surgery examination."
After almost an hour of hassle, the doctor said, "You aren't in a fit condition for surgery." She handed Larissa a bunch of medication and said, "Go home and tune yourself back to health and come back for another checkup in a week. I also hope you can reconsider your decision seriously during this time, on whether you really don't want this child."
On the way back, Larissa and Wendy didn't speak. It was so silent in the car that they could hear the sound of each other's breathing. Wendy was the first one to break the silence. "It's the right decision to abort the child. You've just turned over a new leaf in life. You can't let this child ruin everything. Besides, it will hate you in the future if you choose to give birth and can't give it a complete family."
