"Iâve mentioned, the toxin doesnât affect the mother much," Doctor Guo said, "Itâs just the issue with the fetus, itâs better to resolve it sooner."
"The later you decide to remove the fetus, the greater the impact on the mother will be."
As soon as Doctor Guo finished speaking, silence fell over the room again.
After a moment, Huo Shiqian nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Uncle Guo, I understand."
Xia Chuyi also said, "Thank you, Uncle Guo."
Afterwards, Xia Chuyi and her companions left the hospital.
"Regarding this matter..." At the hospital entrance, Mrs. Ou said to her daughter, "Chuyi, try to think openly. Youâre still young, you have plenty of time..."
"This child, if itâs meant to be gone, then let it go." Though Mrs. Ou advised Xia Chuyi in this way, her own eyes couldnât help but redden.
Seeing her mother like this, Xia Chuyi naturally felt distressed as well.
"Mom, donât worry," Xia Chuyi reassured Mrs. Ou, "You should go back and rest first, donât worry about me, I know whatâs in my heart."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ou realized her daughter wanted to discuss this matter thoroughly with her husband.
So Mrs. Ou could only sigh and ultimately said, "Very well, I trust that youâll make the best decision."
Then, Mrs. Ou parted ways with Xia Chuyi and her husband.
"Letâs go home." Beside her, Huo Shiqian carefully embraced her, supporting her into the car.
Seeing Huo Shiqian like this, Xia Chuyi initially wanted to tell him he didnât need to do that.
But in the end, she said nothing, just said, "Letâs go home."
Once they were home, and only the two of them were left in the house, Xia Chuyi looked earnestly at Huo Shiqian and said, "Honey, did Doctor Guo mean that we shouldnât keep this child no matter what?"
Huo Shiqian hesitated slightly and said, "Keeping the child, the chance of the child being healthy is very small."
"A small chance?" Hearing this answer, Xia Chuyiâs eyes brightened with joy, "So, there is still a chance?"
Seeing Xia Chuyi so delighted, Huo Shiqianâs gaze darkened and he finally said, "One in a thousand."
He revealed the figure that Guo Lin had told him.
"One in a thousand?" This figure certainly shocked Xia Chuyi.
However, a chance means hope.
Xia Chuyiâs expression suddenly turned solemn as she looked at Huo Shiqian seriously and said, "Honey, I still want to keep this child."
Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian gave her a glance and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Xia Chuyi nodded earnestly and said, "Yes, Iâve thought it through."
Upon hearing Xia Chuyiâs definitive answer, a torrent of emotions swirled within Huo Shiqianâs eyesâpain, guilt, sorrow, struggle...
Finally, Huo Shiqian closed his eyes and sighed internally.
When he opened them again, all his emotions had settled into peace.
"Alright." Huo Shiqian stepped forward, pulled her tightly into his arms and said, "Weâll keep him."
"Whether he is healthy or intellectually sound, weâll keep him," Huo Shiqian said, "Though I might not be able to provide him with a grand future, I will certainly pave a warm path for our child, ensuring they live a life without worries."
Hearing Huo Shiqianâs words, Xia Chuyi felt deeply moved, and she put her arms around Huo Shiqian with gratitude, saying, "Thank you, honey, thank you for being willing to take this risk with me."
