“Nah… My uncle was just joking with me.” Xu Wan smiled for a moment before returning to her normal expression.

“I’ll be leaving now. I’ve left some snacks for you to eat when you’re hungry at night.”

After sending her roommate off, Xu Wan stared at the small rented apartment. She pursed her cherry-like lips and sat down.

Although she had to work hard on her own from now on, at least she would have peace of mind. As for her fiancé… she would just treat it like a dream!

Xu Wan motivated herself, got up, and turned on the gas stove to cook some noodles.

While eating noodles, she suddenly felt nauseous.

Initially, Xu Wan brushed this feeling off. However, over the next two days, she experienced a loss of appetite and often felt nauseous. She also vomited frequently.

Xu Wan had no choice but to go to the hospital to see a doctor and get some gastric medication.

The doctor, who was old and experienced, listened to her description of her symptoms and shot her a quizzical look before measuring her pulse.

“Silly child.” The doctor sighed. “You’re pregnant! How old are you even? How did you get pregnant? Which bastard did this to you? How dare he let you come to the hospital alone. What a bastard!”

Xu Wan was dumbfounded upon hearing the old doctor’s words.

Pregnant? She was pregnant?

Could it be from that time…

That day, she had become Qiao Chen’s “antidote” while in a confused state. Qiao Chen had crazily raped her four or five times in the garage. By the time she returned to her room, she was on the verge of collapsing and immediately fell asleep.

After Uncle Qiao passed away, she was too busy with the funeral to think about taking contraceptives.

Pregnant after her first time? Xu Wan was in a daze, as though she were dreaming.

Only after she came back to her senses did Xu Wan hear the old doctor still cursing Qiao Chen, calling him a “bastard”.

Xu Wan nodded her head in agreement. He was indeed a bastard.

“Doctor, can I get an abortion? I can’t have this child.” Although Xu Wan was still in shock, she clearly realized that she couldn’t have this child that came unexpectedly.

To her surprise, the old doctor shook his head and looked at her with a pained expression. “Your body is weak. You can’t get an abortion. If you do so, it will cause irreversible damage to your body, and you will not be able to conceive again.”

Upon hearing the old doctor’s words, Xu Wan panicked. She gripped the corner of her shirt tightly. She did not even dare to speak.

When she walked out of the hospital, Xu Wan was still in a daze.

She felt her flat tummy, finding it hard to believe that there were already little lives in there.

Moreover, the doctor said that based on his years of experience, her pulse showed that she was likely pregnant with twins.

They were two babies.

Xu Wan’s heart melted.

If these children were born, not only would they not have a father, she did not even know if she could raise them well.

After all, she was still a child who had just grown up!

Why must these things happen to her?

Xu Wan still hadn’t given up on the idea of aborting the child because she didn’t want to be a mother at the age of 19. She had seen a lot of news on TV that talked about how underage girls, who had lost their virginity, ruined their entire lives after giving birth.

Xu Wan boarded the public bus with an empty expression in her eyes. As she passed by an amusement park, her eyes moved slightly, and she got off the bus.

Xu Wan walked into the amusement park and saw many children playing. The children’s laughter could be heard everywhere.

If the children in her tummy were born, they would probably be as happy.

Xu Wan left the amusement park and went to the mother and baby products store in the mall. She stroked the baby’s clothing there.

It was so small and soft. Would her babies look cute in them?

Just when she walked out of the shop, a gust of cold wind blew in her face. Xu Wan stood by the roadside and stared at the cars passing by. Suddenly, she squatted on the ground and started crying uncontrollably.

She couldn’t bear to abort these two babies.

She couldn’t bear to do it.

Xu Wan cried until she was out of breath. The passers-by looked at her as if she was crazy.

After Xu Wan cried, she clenched her fists and stood up. She had made up her mind.

She wanted to give birth to her children!

As for Qiao Chen, she definitely couldn’t tell him. He hated her so much, so he definitely wouldn’t like these two children. Moreover, he had always been a ruthless man. He would certainly force her to get an abortion.

She had to raise the children on her own.

Just as Xu Wan’s mind was in a mess, she received a call.

“Are you Miss Xu? I’m Ah De, Third Master’s subordinate. The inheritance has been settled. Third Master said that the Old Master also left you a few storefronts. Because they weren’t worth much, he didn’t notice them. Now that it is accounted for, you can come back and settle the relevant legal procedures”

After hanging up, Xu Wan was still in a daze.

In the past, she rejected the money Qiao Chen offered her out of pride. But now…

Xu Wan smiled bitterly and felt her tummy.

She wasn’t just trying to feed herself, but three people.

She had seen it at the mother and baby store just now. After children start drinking powdered milk, money spent on them will only keep increasing. It would be very difficult for a single mother like her to raise two babies.

She still had to claim the storefronts that the Old Mater had left behind..
