Chapter 557 Abort it please The entire Lin family was celebrating as they patted Lin Yan's shoulder one by one.
"Great job, Second brother!"
" You are going to be a father now, Yan..good for you."
" Second brother, good luck to you!"
" Ahhh, I am so envious! But anyway congratulations Second brother!"
Lin Yan was congratulated by everyone, he could see that his brother's were excited and the aunts who were always strict about them getting close to Su Wan also seemed to be sharing the joy. Even Shen Junxi and Shen Zizhen were looking at Su Wan's abdomen like it was holding some sort of miracle inside it. Everyone was happy… all except Lin Yan, who couldn't sense the joy at all. Among all the brothers he was the first one who knew about Su Wan's past and he was the one who was first to realize that she hated pregnancy and motherhood but now what was he supposed to do? Should he just accept what was happening? After all the life inside Su Wan's womb was his flesh and blood and he couldn't kill it. There was no way he would have the guts to do that but if he allowed this child to grow up then maybe the chances of Su Wan hating him will significantly increase.
He licked his lips nervously as he looked at his brother and couldn't bring himself to say what he wanted to, if he said that he didn't want the child then they would think that he was trying to shirk from his responsibilities. And more importantly all of them looked so happy how can he snatch away the very reason, his entire family was smiling like crazy?
The doctor on the other hand couldn't care less about all the hoo and hah the Lin brothers were making, he cleared his throat and sharply spoke, " Alright. Alright, you bunch of young men I understand that you all are very excited. I get it and I am really happy too ——see ' Yay'." He raised his hands and did a tip toe dance with a blank expression on his face before continuing, " But if you are done, can someone get me these herbs that I have listed here? So that I can brew them and feed your wife. But of course, it's in the scenario that you still want the child."
" We——" began Lin Yan but before he could finish, Lin Chen jumped in the conversation and shouted excitedly.
" Of course, we want the child! He or she are—— our first child of course we want it." Then he strode forward and took the list of herbs that were given by the doctor and rushed out of the door. " Just wait for me, I will be back in a jiffy!"
Lin Yan who actually wanted to say that we don't want the child was left behind and could only swallow the words that were almost up to his throat. He swallowed hard and looked at Su Wan who was lying on the cot with a painful expression on his face and slowly slipped out of the shack where everyone was crowding. He has just taken three steps out when he was pulled by Shen Junxi who was waiting outside the shack and watching what was going inside, "Hey you brat, where are you going? You made my niece pregnant don't tell me you are making a run for it now that you don't want to take responsibility?"
" Oh shush,"said Madam Zhu as she pulled her husband back, " He is just trying to take some time off alone for himself, dear. Don't you remember that when I told you the first time that I was pregnant you cri——"
" Alright I got it."said Shen Junxi so loudly that Madam Zhu's voice was drowned by his but even though it was drowned down. Shen Zizhen still heard it and smirked knowingly.
" Ah, so you cried when sister in law got pregnant, elder brother?"
Madam Huo who was standing behind her husband, tilted her head and spoke in a slightly misty voice, " What are you teasing Eldest brother in law for? You cried when I was pregnant too, honey——oomph!" Before Madam Huo could finish what she was saying, Shen Zizhen jumped up and planted his hands against her mouth as he hissed, " Alright I get it, you don't have to announce it to the world and I didn't even say anything to that brat, so don't you dare gang up on me, alright?"
As for what Madam Huo said after this Lin Yan didn't wait to listen to it, he simply followed Lin Chen who has gone to the medicinal hall and hid inside a small hut that was next to the medicinal hall. Compared to the town, this medicinal hall was very small and didn't seem like it had many medicine stored in it but the herbs for pregnancy retention was something every women used in the village once in a while so Lin Chen had no trouble in getting what he wanted, once he was done. Lin Yan stepped out of his hiding place and looked at the medicinal hall for a very long time—— right now, he was standing at a junction where he had two choices and he could only take one of it. Though he hated both the choices, he still pursed his lips and strode forward with determination now that he has made the choice there was simply no turning back.
As soon as Lin Yan knocked on the counter of the medicinal hall someone from the staff rushed out to take care of him. " What can I help you with today, young master?"
Since, Lin Yan was dressed in an extremely fine clothing material, also the staff of the medicinal shop took him as a rich young master who came to purchase medicine from them. However, the staff who asked Lin Yan about what he wanted stood there on the counter with a smile but didn't receive a response, after a short while he couldn't help but call out Lin Yan again, " Young master?"
Lin Yan jerked out of his thoughts and looked at the staff who was standing in front of him with a polite smile and then after taking a sharp breath, he gritted out. " Abortion medicine please."
