Man in thirties

Chapter 1 I am married

David Lee yawned and opened his eyes.

He found himself sitting on a bench at the end of a corridor. In the distance, nurses in white came and went.

"Hospital?" He suddenly sat up straight, but was a little confused.

The chair under his body squeaked with his actions, alerting the person around him.

David immediately turned his head and looked over.

It was a pregnant woman with a big belly and a beautiful face. She was looking at him strangely.

Her clothes, which had been starched many times, had begun to turn white, indicating that the she didn’t live a good life.

David got back his composure, hurriedly looked away, and thought his strange situation at this time.

"How could he be in the hospital..." he patted his head and said to himself.

He remembered that he should be in the Internet cafe. Because he stayed up all night playing games, he fell asleep unconsciously.

Why was he here after waking up?

There was a clock hanging on the wall opposite him. David looked at it and was startled. It was almost twelve o'clock!

"No, the anniversary activity at twelve!"

He got up quickly, looked for the direction and was about to go out.

But he hear a cold voice behind him,

"David, are you so ruthless?"

Davis was stunned and turned to look at the woman.

It was the pregnant woman!

"This... Beauty, do we know each other?"

Hearing this, the woman looked more and more desperate, and she suddenly said louder, "Ae the kid and I dispensable for you except games?"

‘You and the kid?

What is going on?’

David was startled and looked quickly at the surrounding environment to judge the authenticity of the hospital.

‘I am set up?

I am a high school student. How can I have a kid!’

Does fraud cost so much these days? He looks for such a beautiful fraud? Isn’t he afraid of failure and losing money?’

Although he thought so, David didn't want to get into trouble.

"This beauty, my name is Davis Lee, but I don’t have a wife as beautiful as you..."

He said as he wanted to stretch out his hand, but he was suddenly stunned. He felt as if his words were stuck in his throat.

His hands grew bigger and his skin was rough. It was yellow between the index finger and middle finger.

What was the matter?

He never smoked.

He widened his eyes and looked at his wide palm. Then he saw the rotten shirt and clothes on his body and the slippers.

‘what is wrong with me?’

David got flustered, struggled to break away from the pregnant woman's hand, rushed to the bathroom, looked at the man in the mirror.

It was his look, but he was more maturer. He had stubble and sagging eyes. Also, he had very dark shadows under his eyes.

He looked like a decadent middle-aged man!

"How did I become like this?" David was panicked, lowered his head and suddenly washed his face. The coldness made him desperately find that he was not dreaming.

Everything was true!

Did he go to another century? Reborn?

And he had a pregnant wife?

It was the plot of network novel!

"System? Are you there?"

No system.

"Grandpa, are you awake?"

No Grandpa.

David tried all the gold fingers he could think of, but none of them appeared.

It seemed that he didn’t have any golden fingers. He just came to a parallel world ten years later!

At the door of the bathroom, the woman said coldly, "David, don't act. Either I give birth to the child, or we divorce. Don't care about my affairs."

"Anyway, I won't have an abortion."

"Abortion?" David was surprised, turned back in amazement, pointed to the woman's belly and then pointed to himself, "We came to the hospital for abortion? My idea?"

The woman trembled and burst into tears, "David! What are you talking about!? You are addicted to games all day and don't care about me and my kid at all! Now that the kid has Down syndrome, you let me kill my kid! Now, do you still want to deny it!? Well, I, Josie Scott, am blind that I have a crush on you! Let’s divorce! The kid is none of your business!"

The more she said, the angrier she became. Disappointment and sadness seized her. After all, she was disappointed at the man and turned to go.

Down syndrome!

No matter how stupid David was, he vaguely guessed the what happened: The kid with Down syndrome will have malformation after birth, and the original owner missed the best time for abortion because he was addicted to games. Now the child has formed. In panic, he came up with a bad idea to let his wife abort the kid.

But obviously, the woman in front of him, his wife, was unwilling.

What an ill thing.

He rubbed his hair anxiously and felt a mess. He was just a 16-year-old high school student and was still playing games. He hadn’t even held a girl's hand. Now, he had to make such an important decision.

Moreover, looking at Josie's clothes and his as long as their embarrassed look, it was obvious that they didn’t live a good life.

So they were unable to take care of a congenitally deficient child.

If children with Down syndrome worn born, it was painful. They, with congenital malformations, would suffer discrimination from others and they couldn’t grow up healthily.

So the child must be aborted.

David had to make this decision. The woman had turned around resolutely and planned to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

David stopped her.

Josie turned back and looked at him coldly.

Although he was confused and had no clue, he tried to smile, "We'd better sit down and have a good talk calmly."

"Talk about what? Talk about your game dream? Talk about your success? Or how you plan to torture me?"

Josie cried sadly.

David said patiently, "Kids who have Down syndrome are congenitally deficient. After he or she was born, no matter how hard we work and how much we love him or her, we can't change other people's views on him! The kid will only suffer a lot! The ridicule and discrimination from outsiders can't be changed anyway!"

Josie cried again. She cried gently, but shook her head desperately and was unwilling to speak.

No mother could give up her unborn child.

At this time, an old doctor in a white coat over 50 came to them.

"You want an abortion?"

David had to nod.

"... Yes."

"Come with me." The doctor took a strange look at David, and then led them into the office.

After drinking tea, the doctor said directly,

"Down syndrome. Seven months?"

Then he stared at David.

David took a deep breath and nodded.

"I have a rule here. You have something to do before the operation."

David and Josie looked up blankly at the old doctor.

"I want you to say 'abortion' to your kid."
