Stealing Your Heart

Lin Xinyan walked in with a grim expression. She patted her back and asked, “Are you okay?”

Qin Ya shook her head. “I’m fine. Perhaps it’s something I ate but recently…”

She suddenly stopped. It looked as though a thought had just struck her.

Lin Xinyan had prior experience and could read between the lines. She quickly suggested to Qin Ya, “Let’s get you checked out at the hospital.”

The latter’s hands were trembling sightly. She seemed to have difficulty processing the situation.

Lin Xinyan wrapped her arms around her friend and patted her shoulder gently, quietly showing her support.

“Ms. Lin, can you promise me one thing?” Qin Ya’s voice was hoarse.

“Go ahead,” Lin Xinyan replied.

“Maybe… Just maybe, if I really am pregnant, can you promise not to tell Su Zhan?”

I don’t want to be with someone due to societal pressures. I know exactly what I want.

Lin Xinyan understood her friend’s point of view and nodded. “I won’t say a word. But if you really are pregnant, you’ll eventually have to plan for your future.”

It was necessary for every parent to consider the environment in which their child was going to grow up. A wholesome and complete family was imperative to a child’s development.

Lin Xinyan drove Qin Ya to the hospital.

As the sun had already set, the check-up at the emergency room went by quickly. Qin Ya took an ultrasound and a urine test. The ultrasound showed that she was indeed seven weeks pregnant The urine test corroborated the ultrasound with a positive result.

Qin Ya sat by the hospital’s pond. Her eyes were trained on the test results as she wordlessly hung her head.

Lin Xinyan did not know how to comfort her friend. If only her relationship with Su Zhan is stable. The existence of this child would be a blessing then. But it’s clear that they aren’t doing well.

“I don’t want it.” Qin Ya had been silent since the completion of the tests.

The first words out of her mouth floored Lin Xinyan.
