Friendly reminder: First, pregnancy can be detected after half a month. Second, the gestational age is calculated based on the last menstrual period, not the time of conception.
“Little girl, you’re pregnant…”
In the gynecology clinic, the doctor looked at the girl before her and ultimately swallowed the words of congratulations.
After all, for a girl who was only nineteen years old, this didn’t really seem like good news.
“Preg… pregnant?” Su Yanyan accidentally let out a cry, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and bewilderment.
Could she get pregnant without having a boyfriend?
Just as she was about to ask if there had been a mistake in the examination, Su Yanyan’s expression suddenly turned grim.
She didn’t have a boyfriend, but… she had been with a man.
Thinking of that absurd night more than half a month ago, Su Yanyan’s entire body instantly sank into the chair, as if all her strength had been drained from her in that very second.
Her period had always been regular, but this time it was three days late, and on top of that, her stomach hurt a little.
That was why she had come to the hospital to get checked out.
But she never imagined it would turn out to be pregnancy!
She and that man… it had only been one night. How could she be pregnant?
Su Yanyan’s mind was in a complete mess. She felt like she was dreaming—and a nightmare at that.
She couldn’t help but curl up, her shoulders trembling slightly.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful girl before her, the doctor also felt a pang of regret.
She wondered if that scumbag’s conscience would ever ache—how could he have laid his hands on such a young girl?
What a sin!
“Is your boyfriend outside?” the doctor couldn’t help but ask.
According to standard procedure, when patients came in with delayed periods, they were supposed to first ask about sexual activity, but for those who were too young, the matter needed to be handled with discretion.
Young people had thin skin; some were too embarrassed to tell the truth, which could affect the diagnosis, so she had directly issued the test slip.
After all, it only cost a dozen or so yuan—not expensive.
Su Yanyan finally broke down in tears. She shook her head with red-rimmed eyes. “I… I came alone.”
Alone?
The doctor’s face fell even more. Truly a scumbag—getting a young girl pregnant and not even showing his face.
After the initial shock, Su Yanyan gradually calmed down.
She kept her head lowered and spoke with difficulty. “Can… can I get rid of it?”
As she said those words, Su Yanyan’s tears nearly spilled out.
This was her baby. How could she be so cruel?
But… she really couldn’t keep this child.
She was still in school, and even her monthly living expenses were already suffocating her—let alone raising a child?
She had no time, no energy, and no money.
Besides… she didn’t want her child to be born like her, a child without a father.
The doctor wasn’t too surprised. She handed the test report back to Su Yanyan. “Based on your last menstrual period, the baby is four weeks and five days along. It’s too early for the procedure.”
“Six to seven weeks is the optimal time for surgery. Come back then. But you can’t come alone—you’ll need to bring a family member with you.”
Family member?
Su Yanyan froze for a moment, then lowered her head even further. After a few seconds of silence, she nodded. “I understand. Thank you.”
With that, she picked up the test report, stood up, and bid the doctor farewell.
Seeing that Su Yanyan was about to leave, the doctor quickly reminded her, “Remember not to put it off too long—the later the month, the higher the risk of the surgery!”
It wasn’t until the girl left that the doctor suddenly felt a wave of emotion.
“Ah, comparing people to people really drives you crazy.”
If her nephew had been more ambitious, his child would probably be running around calling him “Dad” by now. But sadly, the man was over thirty and still a bachelor.
What a worry.
Walking out of the hospital, Su Yanyan instinctively raised her hand to touch her belly, where a tiny life was growing—her baby.
But… she couldn’t keep it.
Baby, I’m sorry, I’m truly sorry.
Forcing back her tears, Su Yanyan tore up the lab report with red-rimmed eyes, then hurried toward the bus stop.
Remembering that the doctor said a family member was needed, Su Yanyan’s shoulders began to tremble involuntarily.
She came from a single-parent family and lived with her mother.
Her mother had never really liked her. If she found out about the pregnancy, she’d probably beat her to death.
So, she couldn’t ask her mother to accompany her.
Besides needing a family member, the surgery fee was also a headache. Su Yanyan had asked around and learned the surgery would cost over two thousand yuan.
But where was she supposed to find that much money?
The money she’d earned from her summer part-time job had already gone to tuition. After the semester started, she had even less time for odd jobs, and what she earned was barely enough to scrape by for living expenses.
What was she going to do!
Just as Su Yanyan was about to pull her hair out in worry, she suddenly remembered something her best friend had told her a few days ago.
After hesitating for a moment, she took out her phone and called her best friend.
“Youzi, I wanted to ask—does that restaurant you mentioned last time need any waitresses?”
On the other end of the line, Li You was lounging on the sofa with her legs crossed. Hearing Su Yanyan’s words, she sat up abruptly. “Why are you suddenly asking about that?”
That restaurant had an extremely high-class atmosphere, and most of the people who came and went were people of some status and standing.
Li You had been there a few times, and it was indeed extraordinary—even the waiters’ tips were astonishingly high.
Li You wasn’t envious, of course, since her family was wealthy.
She was just surprised; she’d only mentioned it casually in front of Yanyan.
She never expected the little girl to remember it.
Li You guessed that Su Yanyan must have run into some trouble, so she asked directly, “Just tell me, how much do you need? I’ll transfer it to you, sis!”
Hearing Li You’s generous words, Su Yanyan, who was waiting for the bus at the stop, instantly broke into a smile through her tears. The gloom from just moments ago seemed to lighten considerably.
“Youzi, I don’t want your money. Can you help me get into that restaurant as a waitress?”
She knew Youzi’s family was rich, and she knew Youzi genuinely wanted to help her.
But she hadn’t become friends with her for her money.
This wasn’t the first time Li You had been turned down, and she was used to it. Thinking about how this was the first time Su Yanyan had so seriously asked her to do something for her.
Her expression turned solemn too, and then she patted her chest. “Don’t worry, leave it to me! I guarantee you’ll be raking in tips until your hands go numb. Just remember to treat me to a meal when that happens!”
After hanging up the phone, Li You, who had just been so bold and confident, immediately started wailing like a ghost.
Father Li had just walked in when he heard his daughter’s cries. “What’s wrong now? What kind of fit are you throwing?”
Seeing her old father, Li You suddenly stopped her theatrics. She jumped off the sofa, not bothering to put on her shoes, and ran over to grab her father’s arm.
“Dad, are you thirsty? Want me to have Auntie pour you some water?”
Father Li glanced at his little cotton-padded jacket that was letting in some wind, and snorted, “Do I not have a mouth?”
After saying that, he let out a sigh, “When something’s up, you call me Dad; when nothing’s up, you call me Old Li. Spit it out, what is it this time!”
“Just as I expected from my own dad, so generous!” Li You gave his father a thumbs up.
It had to be said that Li You was incredibly fast—by the third day, Su Yanyan was already starting work at the restaurant.
But before she could even earn a single cent in tips, she got herself into trouble.
Looking at the broken shards and spilled drinks on the floor, Su Yanyan’s face turned pale with fright, and only two words echoed in her mind.
It’s over!
Thinking about how she hadn’t even made any money yet and would already have to pay for damages, and that she might even drag Li You down with her, all her emotions collapsed in that moment.
Su Yanyan finally couldn’t hold it in and burst into tears, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Between sobs, she crouched down and frantically tried to clean up the mess on the floor.
Just as she was crying and sniffling, a hand gripped her wrist and pulled her up from the ground.
Su Yanyan looked up in shock, her vision blurred by tears, but she still recognized the person in front of her at a glance.
“Big… Big Uncle…”
