Karin cries more sadly, and she can't even say anything.
"Would you promise me?"
"Lily, I never thought of giving up on him. Even if everyone wants to abandon him, I don't want to leave
him. So I really feel sad now. Please don't ask me to make any promises right now. I have to consider it
carefully..."
After coming back to the Ziteng Garden, she looks completely lost.
When she comes into the house, Yuma sees her and worries about her, "Sit down and take a rest."
She sits on the sofa and looks sad. Yuma takes a cup of water to her and then turns back and says, "I
would like to cook chicken soup for you."
"No, thanks. I don't want to eat anything."
She holds Yuma's arm and looks up to her and asks, "Yuma, do you think I should give birth to this
baby?"
Yuma thinks for a while and then sits next to her. She signs and says, "I feel so sorry for you. As we all
know, Troy and you love each other so much. Why do things get so bad..."
"You gave birth to a child, so could you tell me whether I should give birth to this baby?"
Although she tries her best to hold back her sadness, she looks at Yuma with expectations in her eyes.
"Miss Karin, I can understand you. As a mother, we always love our children. However, if you abandon
him now, you can also have babies in the future; if you abandon the one you love, it will be hard for you
to find another one you really love."
Yuma doesn't answer her directly but expresses her own opinion in this way.
"Why do you ask me to have abortion surgery? I love Troy, and I love his baby more. Even though no
one believes me in the world, I believe that this is his baby. However, I can't prove that I am innocent
now..."
"I told you that you can have a baby with him in the future. As long as you want a baby, you can be
pregnant as soon as possible… Look, you look really bad every day, and you can't eat or sleep. If you
continue to do this, you will have a miscarriage sooner or later."
Karin stands up absentmindedly and then goes upstairs. In idol dramas, if a man truly loves a woman,
he will also love her child, no matter who the child's father is. When she was 18 to 19 years old, she felt
happy when she watched the TV series. However, she thinks that everything is different from that in the
TV series now. But this is life.
She felt sad when one person asked her to abandon her baby; and now she feels angry and desperate
because everyone asks her to abort the baby.
The wisteria flowers in the garden finally bloom and look so beautiful, and the Ziteng Garden also looks
as beautiful as when she first saw it.
Suddenly, Milan appears in the Ziteng Garden. Since she has suffered from what happened before,
she is not so arrogant now. But she still looks cold.
Karin doesn't care about her, because she never expected that Milan would like her.
"What's wrong?"
Milan answers, "Well, I hope you can give birth to this baby."
Karin looks at her with surprise and she thinks that it is unbelievable. Now everyone wants to persuade
her to abort her baby. Why does Milan support her? What does she want to do?
"Why?"
"I can help you raise the baby after you give birth to it. If he's my brother's child, it will be better; if he
isn't his child, I will also regard him as my own child and love him."
Karin doesn't understand her, "I don't think I need you to help me raise my own child."
"Well, I can tell you the truth. My husband is infertile, but I hope we can have a child. We have thought
about adopting a child. Now you are pregnant, and he may be my brother's child, so I want to adopt
him."
"What if Troy isn't the baby's father?"
"It doesn't matter. I will also love this child. Don't worry."
Karin looks indifferent and doesn't say anything again.
"What do you think? I know you don't want to have an abortion, so I think it will be a good choice for
you."
Karin sneers and says, "Then do I need to say thanks to you for helping me and making my life so
funny?"
Milan understands what she wants to say and then she looks angry, "What on earth do you think?"
"Do you think I will agree with you? Even if I don't have an abortion, I will not let you raise this child. To
be honest, you and your husband make me feel very disgusted, because you are so bad!"
"What?"
Milan is very angry, so she says, "Well, then you can go to hell with your illegitimate child. Since you
are so virtuous, I believe you can raise your child without relying on my brother."
After Milan leaves, she cries again. She feels sad because Milan says her baby is an illegitimate child.
She touches her underbelly and says with tears, "I am so sorry, my baby. You are innocent, you are not
an illegitimate child. Please don't be sad because of what Milan said. She is crazy. I really want to
protect you, but I can't. So please forgive me on matter what I do. I can't allow them to say that you are
illegitimate..."
Karin keeps crying for a long time until she can't cry with tears. It seems that she has no heartbeat
anymore.
She calls Billie and then they meet each other in the coffee shop again. Billie looks at her eyes which
are swollen and asks, "Have you made a decision?"
"Please go to the hospital with me."
"What? Do you want to have an abortion?"
She nods sadly. Billie feels sorry for her and holds her hands and says, "Does Troy know that?"
"I didn't tell him about it."
"It doesn't make sense whether I tell him." She stops for a while and then continues, "Because I won't
be with him in the future."
"What are you talking about?" Billie is shocked, "Are you crazy?"
Billie realizes that it is serious, so she comforts Karin, "Karin, I know you are very sad because you
have to have an abortion. But it is not Troy's fault. I don't think a man can accept a child who is not his
own child. Therefore, please don't give up easily. OK?"
Karin wipes her tears with a bitter smile on her face and says, "I know it's not his fault, and he is a good
man. However, we can't be happy again even though we love each other very much. When we break
up, we will leave from each other's world, so we can't be together with each other anymore even
though we don't hate each other."
Finally, she lies on the operating table.
"Don't be nervous. Now we are ready to give you anesthesia, you can close your eyes and take a nap,
and the operation will be over soon. " The nurse says to her gently.
It will be over soon... It will be over...
When she closes her eyes, her tears flow down. She seems to hear the baby's cry from a distant and
unfamiliar place, "Mom...Help...Mom...Help..."
"No..."
She suddenly sits up, and she regrets it before she is given anesthesia. She says, "Sorry, I don't want
to do it." And then she gets up and walks out of the operation room, and her face looks pale.
Billie is waiting for her outside the operation room. When she sees Karin, she asks her quickly, "Is it
over?"
Karin doesn't say anything. She just keeps walking forward. And Billie keeps asking, "What's wrong?
Have you had an abortion?"
When she walks out of the hospital, she takes a taxi to come back to the Ziteng Garden.
She stays in the bedroom and closes the door. And then she takes out her phone and then texts Troy,
"Please come back." Actually, she knows that Troy will come back later, because today is the last day
of the seven-day period."
It's dark. She sits on the sofa in the bedroom and waits for Troy.
Later, she hears his familiar footsteps, and then he stops in front of the door. After a long time, he
opens the door.
