Chapter 213
\nIn My Desperate Time novel Chapter 213<\/p>\n
As usual, Frances has been out when I go downstairs.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s good. If he asked where I go, I would have no idea what to say.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t dare to lie in front of him. He\u2019s so horrible. Every time I even haven\u2019t opened my mouth he\u2019s already known it.<\/p>\n
I make an appointment with Mindy at eight o\u2019clock in the hospital. After changing clothes, I leave for the hospital.<\/p>\n
When I arrive, Mindy has registered for me.<\/p>\n
And to my surprise, she comes here alone. David should let her return from abroad alone. It doesn\u2019t look like the deed he would do. This is unusual.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou come back alone? Where is David?\u201d I ask.<\/p>\n
Mindy shakes her head and says quietly, \u201cShh, don\u2019t be so loud. He objected to me coming back. He said you should go to Frances for help. Frances can handle this. His suggestion sucks. You must be insane if you come to Frances, aren\u2019t you? So I snuck back myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Though David is at the other side of the ocean where it is tens of thousands of kilometers away from us, I can imagine his gloomy face now when he found out that Mindy had snuck back alone. When I thought this, a shudder comes through me.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are so bold.\u201d I sigh to her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care how David would think! The pregnant woman is the boss!\u201d Mindy rolls her eyes and says, \u201cLet\u2019s go. I\u2019ve registered. It\u2019s still early and there are not many people. We can get the surgery done early so I will also be relieved.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHmm.\u201d<\/p>\n
I nod and walk with her towards to maternity department.<\/p>\n
There are only two patients in front of me so it soon comes to my turn. Mindy accompanies me inside the doctor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?\u201d the doctor asks me in a deep voice, even not looking up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pregnant.\u201d I reply with a low voice, feeling sad.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you tested it yourself?\u201d the doctor raises her head and takes a look at me.<\/p>\n
I nod to her.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last menstrual period?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNovember 15th.\u201d I reply honestly.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you want to keep the baby or not?\u201d the doctor continues her formulaic questions.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a lovely creature in my belly! Perhaps having seen the loss of so many babies, maternity doctors are all numb to this now.<\/p>\n
I look at Mindy with pity and smile sadly as I look ahead.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need to wait till tonight. He\u2019s already come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following my sight, Mindy is shocked to see David who wears a gloomy and livid face. She immediately hides behind me.<\/p>\n
He walks towards us. Instead of blaming Mindy first, he frowns and says to me, \u201cJane, you must tell it to Frances. There are some consequences you can\u2019t afford.\u201d<\/p>\n
What does he mean?<\/p>\n
Does it mean that Frances will throw a fit if he knows?<\/p>\n
But for what? Anyway he won\u2019t want to keep the child, even if he knew he would let me conduct abortion.<\/p>\n
Mindy can\u2019t stand anymore. She stands out from my back, shouting to David, \u201cAre you out of your mind? How can we tell it to that bitch Frances? I specially come back to help Jane solve this matter. You\u2019d better stay out of it, or I\u2019ll let you be a cuckold.\u201d<\/p>\n
David takes Mindy away from me, and to be exactly, Mindy is dragged away because of her last sentence.<\/p>\n
Looking at their leaving figures, I put on a helpless smile.<\/p>\n
When I step towards outside, I have a sight of Whitney who is walking quickly into hospital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-237","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
