My Hubby Can’t Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 1301: Chapter 1294: Born for Love (4) Chapter 1301: Chapter 1294: Born for Love (4) Tuesday, the gynecology and obstetrics department of the affiliate hospital.

Lu Weixi arrived early in the morning. Although an abortion is a minor surgery, it can now basically be performed as a minimally invasive and painless procedure. The operation takes about half an hour to complete, and the patient can be discharged on the same day.

But the necessary health checks still have to be conducted, such as ultrasound, electrocardiogram, and gynecological examinations, to rule out the risk of an ectopic pregnancy and to ascertain the embryo’s position, size, and other conditions in the uterus to ensure the safety of the surgery.

Of course, when Lu Weixi came, she had also informed Qin Zhiyou. Qin Zhiyou was discreet when he arrived; he waited outside while she underwent the examinations.

It was Qin Zhiyou’s condition that Lu Weixi had to agree to: being present during the procedure.

His tone was calm but also resolute, slightly heavy, “My connection with this child is very shallow. Although its arrival was an accident, I still need to take responsibility. So, when you send this child away, can I be present? Rest assured, since I’ve agreed to you having the surgery, I won’t stop you. After all, someone needs to sign for the operation. Your mother probably doesn’t know about this, does she? Then it will be me. When we got divorced, we agreed to part on good terms. I haven’t been able to do much for you in the five years we were married, so consider this the last thing I do.”

Lu Weixi had never dreamt that the ultrasound she had for her prenatal check would actually be for confirming the details of an abortion, and that Qin Zhiyou would be there with her. After leaving the ultrasound room, the doctor handed her the ultrasound report. Qin Zhiyou went in as well, and they looked at it together.

The embryo, just three months old, had grown from a small bean into a sprout. The facial contours had already taken shape, and the body and limbs had grown, but the head was still very large, resembling the big-headed son from the cartoons. The fingers and toes were separated, the nose and ears had formed, and the eyes were clearly discernible.

It was already the likeness of a child, with Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi holding on to each end of the ultrasound report, neither willing to let go.

The doctor, accustomed to such scenes, said indifferently, “It’s about ten centimeters, twenty-something grams–still very small, about the size of a little mouse. The surgery is quick. After the anesthesia, you’ll barely feel any pain, and it will be over quickly.”

Lu Weixi, as if possessed or something, asked a question, “Doctor, will the child… will it hurt when it comes out?”

The doctor replied with composure, “No. At this stage, the fetus’s nerves and brain are not fully developed, and it doesn’t feel much. But our original plan was to do a painless abortion. However, the child has developed rapidly and has already formed bones, so we can only perform a dilation and curettage for a larger fetus, or you can wait a few more months to have a second-trimester induced abortion. Yet, a dilation and curettage comes with risks. If the fetus is too large, the procedure might be a bit troublesome during the uterine cleaning.”

Qin Zhiyou was profoundly shocked by the explanation, and Lu Weixi turned pale. He asked worriedly, “Is it really that serious?”

The doctor looked at him and nodded, “Any surgery carries risks. It’s just a matter of degree. We’ll try to control it as much as possible.”

Lu Weixi didn’t speak, but her fingers were ice cold, and her complexion was slightly pale. Qin Zhiyou held her hand tightly.

“After the surgery, pay attention to rest and recuperation, eat more nutritious food, maintain hygiene, avoid baths, and no intimate activities for a month. If you agree, sign here.”
