YM778.TV Chapter 22: dad
In the examination room, Jiang Xu lifted up his clothes. The lines of his abdominal muscles have become more and more blurred, but the outline of the pregnant belly is still unclear. The three-month-old child is less than the size of a pear. At first glance, the abdomen is still flat, and the waist is still very narrow. Only when you take off your clothes and observe carefully can you see a slight difference.
When Shen Fangyu came in, he saw such a scene. It was the first time he saw Jiang Xu\'s stomach when he was sober. He obviously couldn\'t see anything, but somehow, his mind was a little buzzing.
Jiang Xu didn\'t look at it by himself this time, his eyes fell on the display screen of the B-ultrasound instrument, watching the screen change with Tang Ke\'s movements.
The smooth probe moved slowly on the skin, with a little pressure, Jiang Xu looked back from the display screen and silently looked at the ceiling.
The fetus is developing very well. Although the body is a bit small, all organs and parts are clearly developed. The three-month-old child\'s external genitalia has begun to differentiate. Jiang Xu can even see it from the blurry black and white picture. There is a high probability that it is a daughter.
Tang Ke also saw it, but they all tacitly said nothing.
A fetus and a daughter are different in one word, but their meanings are vastly different.
The reason why abortion should be carried out as early as possible is that on the one hand, the longer it is delayed, the greater the physical harm. On the other hand, it is unavoidable, and the emotional bond between the pregnant woman and the child is getting deeper and deeper.
However, someone was obviously nervous, and shouted as if he had never seen the world: "Hey, it\'s a girl!"
Jiang Xu and Tang Ke: "..."
This was the first time Shen Fangyu saw his own child through a B-ultrasound device. He was half cautious, half in disbelief and asked, "I\'m really her father?"
Jiang Xu: "To be honest, I hope not."
"..." The unrecognized father was not dispelled by Jiang Xu\'s words. Shen Fangyu stared at the picture in the B-ultrasound instrument carefully as if he was taking an imaging course for the first time, wishing to stare at it out of the flower Come on.
Jiang Xu directly interrupted: "It\'s ok." He motioned Tang Ke to take the probe away, and the screen on the B-ultrasound instrument disappeared instantly. Jiang Xu wiped the B-ultrasound liquid scribbled and put down the hem of his clothes.
"The child is three months old, it\'s time for early screening for Down\'s syndrome," Tang Ke said, "Do you want to do it?"
Screening for Down\'s syndrome is done to rule out one of the most common chromosomal aberrations in the fetus.
On the one hand, the pregnancy test is to determine the physical condition of the child, and on the other hand, it is also to determine the physical condition of Jiang Xu, so as to ensure that no accidents will happen before the abortion operation. Necessary to do.
"Let me think about it and tell you later."
Tang Ke nodded, Jiang Xu glanced at the clock, "Then I\'ll go first."
"Why don\'t you be Tang Sha?" Shen Fangyu couldn\'t help asking when he got back to the car.
"It won\'t be born again." Jiang Xu glanced out of the car window, there was a row of sweet-scented osmanthus trees planted on the road, and he could smell a faint sweet fragrance.
Shen Fangyu was stunned. Jiang Xu hadn\'t contacted him for so long, and there was no news from the magazine. Seeing that the child was three months old, he originally thought that after receiving Dr. Kenn\'s reply, Jiang Xu would give up the idea of having an abortion. "You don\'t want to go to that countryman from M to perform surgery on you, do you?"
Jiang Xu didn\'t speak.
"Jiang Xu," Shen Fangyu\'s forehead was full of lawsuits, "200,000 US dollars... how many years is this your salary? You can donate the money to those in need, but you don\'t have to go across the ocean to give others the capitalists who believe in US dollars Do you want to do charity?"
"Then what do you think I should do?" Jiang Xu also became angry. Dr. Kenn\'s team insisted that the details of the operation be communicated with him only after the article appeared in the publication. Tang Ke entrusted a friend to ask, but still had no confirmation.
If there were no cases in country M, Jiang Xu might have no choice but to treat death as if he were home, and let people cross the river by feeling the stones. Xu or Shen Fangyu, as qualified doctors, they all hope to perform the operation with the greatest confidence and the most substantial pre-operative preparations.
This is also the reason why Jiang Xu has been procrastinating.
But now that the child is getting bigger and bigger, the price of delay is too high.
Without reference materials, the safest thing for Jiang Xu is to go abroad to see Dr. Kenn for surgery.
But going abroad is not going well.
The three months that Tang Ke estimated before, now it seems that the application may not be successful in three months. His condition is sensitive, it involves the issue of foreign children, and the stricter restrictions of country M, Jiang Xu made an appointment with the ambassador three times. The conversation in the embassy was always a visa refusal every time, and the next time would have to wait until one month later.
Now even if Jiang Xu has collected enough money, there is nothing he can do.
He rolled down the car window irritably, trying to calm down his inner boredom with the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, but in the end there was only the pungent car exhaust.
He had no choice but to look back with a bit of gloom, and looked at the lucky cat ornament in Shen Fangyu\'s car without moving. The unreasonable lucky cat obviously couldn\'t feel his plight, and was still smiling and waving.
There was a moment of silence in the car. Obviously, Shen Fangyu couldn\'t answer his question. The child was in his stomach, so Shen Fangyu always stood up and talked without pain in his back. It would be fine if they were true lovers, but Shen Fangyu and him were not close. No reason, but also a deadly rival who has been competing for many years, no matter how difficult his predicament is, Shen Fangyu can\'t afford to worry about him.
However, just when Jiang Xu was about to change the subject, Shen Fangyu spoke up.
"Have you...considered being born?"
As if he hadn\'t expected it at all, Jiang Xu turned his head in disbelief, but Shen Fangyu, who was speaking shockingly, was calm.
He bypassed the endless traffic and quietly parked the car in a temporary parking space on the side of the road.
It was not completely dark yet, and street lamps were already lit on the side of the road.
Next to the parking space is an osmanthus tree. After being away from the noise of car exhaust for a while, the fragrance of osmanthus finally floats in slowly.
Shen Fangyu\'s eyes shone with orange lights, making those peach blossom eyes extremely affectionate.
"Six months later, the article will definitely be published. By then, we will have the data and the operation video, and we will have confidence in our hearts. There is no need to ask for help. I will perform the operation for you."
Shen Fangyu put one hand on the steering wheel, put the other arm on his ear and supported his head, and glanced at Jiang Xu, "If you don\'t want to raise this child, let me raise it. It costs two hundred thousand dollars, and you can share half of it with me. Fees are fine, of course it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to pay.”
His fingers with clear and distinct knuckles tapped on the steering wheel one after another, and lowered his eyes, "If you are afraid of affecting your life, I will promise not to let this child appear in front of you in this life. If the child is not good, I don\'t have to get married."
Jiang Xu looked at him silently for a while, "I need a reason for you to sacrifice yourself and help me."
"I don\'t want you to pay 200,000 yuan to the capitalists. Is that enough reason?" Shen Fangyu said, "You don\'t own the child alone. I know we have been fighting each other, but this is not called self-sacrifice. You don\'t need to face it alone." Regarding everything, Jiang Xu," he seemed a little helpless, "you always refuse to discuss anything with me, but..."
He finally said what he had been thinking all along, "I am also the father of the child."
The author has something to say:
"I am also the father of the child" means that I hope to take the responsibility of this matter with you, and find a way to face the current difficulties with you. Please don\'t push me away. I want to interfere with whether you have children or not, because some friends have misunderstood, so I would like to explain
