Chapter 140 Rosa, What Did You Do?!
Rosa nervously walked into the operating room with the receipt in hand.
She changed her clothes, walked to the doctor, and handed the prescription to him.
The doctor took her receipt and examined it.
As soon as he saw it, he frowned.
"Twins?"
Rosa bit her lip and said, "Yes."
"Twins are very rare to come across. Are you sure you want to get rid of them?" The doctor looked at her and asked again.
Rosa didn't say anything. She didn't know either.
"Have you thought about it? I think you should have more thought before you make a decision. Next time you get pregnant it might not be twins anymore. If you keep them, you don't have to go through all the pain to have a child again!" The doctor was kind enough to give some advice.
After all, the law didn't forbid a second child.
Nowadays, families would usually get two children.
Rosa's frown deepened. She was hesitating.
Just now, when she was sitting outside, she fell asleep.
She couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl in her dream.
She only heard two children happily calling her mother.
For a moment, she was a little lost.
"What's the matter?" Seeing that there weren't patients coming out of the room for a long time, a well-dressed doctor came in to check on the situation.
"Ah, Director, this girl is pregnant with twins. She seems to be a little hesitant!" The doctor said hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, the female director looked at her and frowned. "Rosa?"
Rosa was stunned and then looked at the female doctor, who was wearing a mask and well-dressed. She did not know what was going on.
The female doctor immediately took down the mask and said, "Rosa, it's me!"
Rosa was shocked. "Sister Marlene..."
"Uh... Director, do you know each other?" The doctor was a little surprised.
"Yes, Val. Leave this patient to me. Look at the next one," she said as she led her into a private room.
"Sister Marlene, you're a doctor now?"
Marlene nodded and sighed. "I heard about your parents. That time, I was going to visit you, but you already moved away. The people in the neighbourhood said that they didn't know where you went."
Rosa looked a little sad.
At that time, most people didn't know that they lived in Chappell's house.
"Where do you live now? How did you get pregnant all of a sudden?" She picked up her report and read it carefully. She frowned and said, "Rosa, you are only 20 years old. How could you do such a thing?" In her memory, this girl was very pure and kind.
She did extraordinarily well in school, and she was a perfect child.
But why would she be pregnant now, at 20 years old?
"Sister Marlene... I..."
"Get rid of it! I'll do the surgery for you!" Marlene replied without a second thought.
Rosa was stunned. "Sister Marlene... get... get rid of it?"
Marlene looked at her and said, "If you're not getting rid of it, then do you want to give birth to it? You're only 20 years old. Are you not planning to go to college? How could you do this?" She frowned, and she looked uncomfortable.
She probably thought of her as one of those students who fools around with other boys.
Rosa looked at her disappointed eyes and her heart sank.
"Sister Marlene, I... I'm married."
Marlene's hands, which were holding the gloves, froze in place. In shock, she looked at her as she asked, "You're... married?" She nodded and said, "Yes, I'm married."
"With your classmate?" College students nowadays were allowed to get married. That was the first thought that came into mind. Rosa looked at her and did not hide anything. She told her everything.
Marlene was from the same neighbourhood as her. She was more than ten years older than her, and her parents were the closest to her. In the past, Marlene's father was sick. She need money for his medical fees, but no one could lend any money to her.
Only her family sold a pig and gathered enough money to treat her father.
At that time, she had said that she would repay their kindness in the future.
Everyone in the neighbourhood knew about Marlene's character.
Now, she had a lot to say, but she had no one to tell.
It wasn't right to tell Grace since she had just lost her child.
She couldn't tell Miranda either since she was like a little sister to her.
After hearing this, Marlene was shocked.
"Henry is your husband? You're the girl that went viral?"
Rosa nodded.
Marlene sighed and looked at her. "Rosa, I should be happy that you are married, but... that rich and powerful family... I'm afraid you will get hurt!"
Rosa grinned and said bitterly, "So, I decided not to have a child. I want to take care of Cecil wholeheartedly. No one knows when he will... I don't want... I don't want to ignore him because of the child."
Marlene's heart clenched as she looked at her.
However, she also knew that if she aborted the child...
It would be even harder for her to get his family's approval.
Her family had done her a favour. No matter what, she had to help her.
"Rosa, have you heard their heartbeat?"
Rosa shook her head.
"Come on, lie down and lift up your clothes. I'll let you hear their heartbeats first. Then you can decide!"
Rosa was a little confused. "Why should I listen?" She wondered.
Then, she remembered what the girl had said before. She said that the baby's heartbeat was very special. Following her orders, she laid down and lifted up her clothes.
C
Marlene smeared something on her belly and then placed the stethoscope on her flat belly.
Then, she adjusted the volume to the maximum.
Suddenly, the room was filled with thumping sounds. "Ba-dum...Ba-dum..."
NOW PLAY YOUR
FAVOURITE GAMES ON
The thumping sounds were powerful. It seemed as if there was a rhythm to it.
Rosa's entire body stiffened. She had no idea why, but tears started falling down her cheek.
Seeing this, Marlene said softly, "This is the sound of your child's heartbeat. It's very energetic!"
Rosa bit her lips and the tears in her eyes blurred her vision.
"Don't you think it's amazing? Hehe, although I'm a doctor who's experienced in abortion and giving birth, after becoming a mother and hearing your own child's heartbeat, it feels different."
As soon as she finished speaking, she wiped her abdomen with a tissue.
Rosa sat up, and her eyes were red.
"Rosa, if you were not married, I would definitely want you to abort this child. But you are married now. This child is really precious. Besides, they are twins... Do you really have the heart to abort them?" "Mommy, mommy!"
"Mom, we'll be good!"
Such a scene played in her mind. She couldn't quite see them, but she could hear them clearly.
"Rosa, your husband doesn't know that you're getting an abortion. If he knows, what do you think he will do?" Marlene observed her reaction.
Rosa's face suddenly turned pale.
If he knew...
Then...
It was not something she could predict.
"He... shouldn't know, right..."
"If you were married to an ordinary person, it would be fine. But your husband is not an ordinary person. Although nobody knows who the girl is, if everyone finds out that it was you, do you think you could hide the fact that you got an abortion?" Marlene reminded her.
Rosa looked at her in shock.
"By then, your mother-in-law will have more reason for you to leave him. She will definitely say something like, 'If you really loved him, why wouldn't you give him a child?""
Rosa bit her lips and teared up. She said in a muffled voice, "It's not like that... I'm willing to... I just want... I want..."
"I understand. You are worried that you can't take good care of Cecil. But have you ever considered how Cecil would feel if you gave birth?"
Rosa looked at her with hazy eyes. She had no idea.
"Cecil would of course be very happy. That's because his favourite sister has a baby. After you have children, they'll call him uncle. Don't you think this would be better for his situation?"
"Is that so?" She was conflicted.
"Of course. Normally when you take care of him, you still need to go to school, and he'll be alone at home. But if you have children, he can have company even when you're not home. He'll definitely be happy." Rosa took a deep breath and looked at Marlene. "Sister Marlene... Thank you. I didn't think it through."
"It's alright. I know you're doing it for Cecil. Rosa, since you chose that man, you should not only think for your brother, but also for him, right?"
Rosa nodded and said, "Okay, I got it."
"Your fetus is growing very healthily now. Come and find me in a month. I'll take care of your pregnancy checkups in the future!"
Rosa was very grateful. She looked at her and said sincerely, "Thank you, Sister Marlene..."
"No need to be so polite. We're not strangers. Alright, go change your clothes and head home. I'll go back to my surgery now."
Rosa nodded and went to change her clothes.
People who finished their operation usually exited from the other door.
There was a lounge chair in the rest area.
It was prepared for women to rest after getting an abortion.
Rosa sat on the chair, looking a little absent-minded. No one knew what she was thinking.
She could hear discussions going on around her.
"Wow, he's so handsome."
"Oh my god, is he a celebrity?"
At this moment, a pair of familiar shoes suddenly appeared in front of her.
There was also the sound of panting.
Rosa raised her delicate chin slightly and instantly met his gaze.
The man panted slightly, but he could not hide his anger.
Especially his pair of dark eyes that seemed to be thundering.
Rosa had never seen him like this.
Somehow, she was a little scared.
He glared at her and questioned her angrily, "Rosa, what did you do?"
His voice was cold, and his eyes were filled with anger.
Rosa bit her lip, feeling timid.
Why was he here?
Did he... find out?
"You're pregnant. You're here to get rid of our child, aren't you?" Henry's pupils constricted, and a hint of anger flashed across his eyes.
It seemed that in an instant, the rest area became dark.
The room was filled with dead silence. It was to the point where one could even hear their own heartbeat.
For some reason, the people in the resting area all left timidly.
Just from standing there, the anger he gave off was terrifying.
In an instant, the place was silent.
Rosa finally understood what Sister Marlene had said about how he would react if he found out.
She slowly stood up and looked at the man in front of her, who was like a raging lion. She said in a timid voice, "Why... why are you here..."
The man's eyes darkened, but a smile slowly appeared on his face. Even the skies turned a shade darker.
"Should I not have come? Rosa, you're really something!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
